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.

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

A. show friendliness to strangers

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?

It's such a happy?looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm?tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it's pedestrian?friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach Country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.

It's a library built with love.

A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin?based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That's what we're going to do for our spring break!”

Son Austin, now a 10th?grader, didn't see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51?year?old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy horses, and made a door of glass.

After adding the library's final touches(裝點), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.

They stocked it with 20 or so books they'd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids' favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay?at?home mom.

Since then, the collection keeps replenishing(補充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.

The project's best pay?off, says Peter, are the thank?you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”

1.In what way is the library “pedestrian?friendly”?

A.It owns a yellow roof.

B.It stands near a sidewalk.

C.It protects book lovers from the sun.

D.It uses palm?tree stickers as decorations.

2.Janey got the idea to build a library from ________.

A.a visit to Brian Williams

B.a spring break with her family

C.a book sent by one of her neighbors

D.a report on a Wisconsin?based organization

3.The library was built ________.

A.by a ship supply company

B.on the basis of toy horses

C.like a mailbox

D.with glass

4.What can we infer from the signboard?

A.It was made by a user of the library.

B.It marked a final touch to the library.

C.It aimed at making the library last long.

D.It indicated the library was a family property.

5.The passage tells us that the users ________.

A.donate books to the library

B.get paid to collect books for the library

C.receive thank?you notes for using the library

D.visit the library over 5 times on average daily

When 19?year?old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make?A?Wish Foundation(基金會), nobody understood what she was talking about. But Sophia knew just how important Make?A?Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends. We were interested in finding out more, so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.

Sophia told us that Make?A?Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980. “It's a charity(慈善機構) that helps children who have got very serious illnesses. Make?A?Wish helps children feel happy even though they are sick, by making their wishes and dreams come true,” Sophia explained.

We asked Sophia how Make?A?Wish had first started. She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris, who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman. Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris's dream come true—so, with everybody's help, Chris, only seven years old at the time, had been a “policeman” for a day. “When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true, they decided to try and help other sick children too, and that was the beginning of Make?A?Wish,” explained Sophia.

Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy time. A Make?A?Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world. Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true. They do this either by providing things that are necessary, or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.

1.Sophia found out about Make?A?Wish because her best friend had ________.

A.benefited from it B.volunteered to help it

C.dreamed about it D.told the author about it

2.According to Sophia, Make?A?Wish ________.

A.is an international charity

B.was understood by nobody at first

C.raises money for very poor families

D.started by drawing the interest of the public

3.What is said about Chris in Paragraph 3?

A.He has been a policeman since he was seven.

B.He gave people the idea of starting Make?A?Wish.

C.He wanted people to help make his dream come true.

D.He was the first child Make?A?Wish helped after it had been set up.

4.Which of the following is true about Make?A?Wish volunteers?

A.They are important for making wishes come true.

B.They try to help children get over their illnesses.

C.They visit sick children to make them feel special.

D.They provide what is necessary to make Make?A?Wish popular.
