Mr. Gray travelled a lot on business: He sold machines of different kinds to farmers.

He had a big car, and usually driving it long distances, but he was quite satisfied to go by sometimes too, especially when the was bad. He was a little afraid of driving in rain or snow, and it was tiring to sit comfortably in a train and looked out of the window without being worried about how was going to get to the next place.

One of Mr. Gray’s problems was often to stay when he reached some small place in the country. He did not great comfort and wonderful food, but he found it annoying (使惱火) when he was given a cold room, and there was no hot water or food after a long and day.

Late winter evening, Mr. Gray arrived at a small railway station. The by train that day had not been at all interesting, and Mr. Gray was cold and tired and . He was looking forward to a simple satisfying meal by a brightly burning fire，and then a hot bath and comfortable bed. he was walking to the taxi rank, he said to a local man who was also there. “As this is my first visit to this of the country and I was in too much of a hurry to about hotels before l left home, I would very much like to know you have here.”

The local man answered, “We have .”

“And which would you me to go to ?”Mr. Gray asked him.

The local man thought for a while and then answered, “Well, it’s like this: Whichever one you go to, you’ll be you didn’t go to the other.”

Nuclear power’s danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.

Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.

At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no levels of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.

This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated（輻射）and feel fine, then die for cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.

Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.

1.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. How to detect nuclear radiation.

B. How radiation kill a man.

C. The mystery about nuclear radiation.

D. Serious damage caused by nuclear radiation.

2.Which of the following statements is true?

A. Nuclear radiation can cause cancer to human beings.

B. Nuclear radiation can be safe to human beings if its level is low.

C. Nuclear radiation can be detected by human senses.

D. Nuclear radiation is just like common radio waves.

3.What is not the reason why nuclear radiation has a certain mystery?

A. The hurt cells can stay in the body many years and then grow into cancer.

B. It can do harm to a person while the victim isn't aware the damage has occurred.

C. Nuclear radiation can kill a person very easily.

D. Radiation can seldom kill a person immediately.

4.If a human being is hit by nuclear radiation, he may _______.

A. die of cancer after many years B. die immediately

C. have a child who may be born weak D. all of the above

Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.

Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.

It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.

1. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S?

A. Love.B. Politeness.

C. Joy. D. Thankfulness.

2. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .

A. show friendliness to strangers

B. be used to hide true feelings

C. be used in the wrong places

D. show personal habits

3. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?

A. Learn about their relations with others.

B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.

C. Find out about their past experience.

D. Figure out what they will do next.

4.What would be the best title for the test?

A. Cultural Differences B. Smiles and Relationship

C. Facial ExpressivenessD. Habits and Emotions
