Facial expressions carry meanings, which depends on situations and relationships. For instance, in American culture the smile is typically an expression of1 .Yet it has other functions. A smile may2 love, politeness, or3true feeling. It is also a source of confusion across4 .5 , many people in Russia6smiling at strangers in public to be unusual or even suspicious. Yet many Americans7 freely at strangers in public places. Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong8 ; some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover emotional pain or mental difficulty, discomfort or anxiety.
Our faces make our emotions and attitudes known,9 we should not try to "read" people from another culture10 we would "read" someone from our own culture. The degree of facial expressiveness one shows changes11persons and cultures. The fact that members of one culture do not12 their emotions as openly as members of13 does not mean14they do not15 emotions. Rather, their cultures16 them expressing their emotion and attitudes freely.
If we17 people whose18 of showing emotion are not the same according to19own cultural patterns, we may make the20 of "reading" the other persons incorrectly.

This little story I’m about to tell you happened when I was about 11 years old, and I’II never forget it. I was at my friend Jenny’s 1 after school one day, and we were doing (or not doing) homework.. 2 I was there, Jenny’s mom came over to visit.
I don’t remember her name3 what her face looked like. I just remember her hands, her voice and the4 she taught me.
I can still see her hand 5 for mine in our introduction. 6 were so beautiful, I thought; rich, dark skin7 complemented(涂了) by the orange colored polish on her nails. Then I 8 her saying, and not at all in a condescending(居高臨下的) 9 .“Oh no, that is NOT how you shake hands. Let me show you 10.”
After that, I just remember her voice 11 the importance of a good handshake, conveying(傳遞) a positive sense of self, looking at 12 person in the eye, making that first moment matter…I think in that exchange I first understood13.
I respected her for 14 the time to teach me about one of those subtleties(細(xì)微之處) in life. I appreciated the fact 15 she didn’t look down upon me because I was 11 or because I didn’t know something. And so because of that I felt somewhat respected. I mean the 16 she treated me. It felt good to be 17 like a real person. I also appreciate her idea that 18 someone doesn’t pay attention to something, be patient and point him or her19 the right direction. I20 her every time I meet someone and shake hands. And I’m so thankful for her little lesson.

In a surprising discovery about where higher life can survive, scientists have found a shrimp —— like creature and a jellyfish swimming beneath an Antarctic ice sheet.
About 180 meters below the ice where no light can get through, scientists had thought nothing much more than a few microbes (微生物) could exist.
That’s why a NASA team was surprised when they lowered a video camera to get the first long look at the underbelly of an ice sheet in Antarctica. A curious shrimp – like creature came swimming by and then parked itself on the camera’s cable. Scientists also pulled up a tentacle (觸須) they believe came from a jellyfish.
“We were operating on the presumption that nothing’s there.” Said NASA ice scientist Robert Bindschadler. “It was a shrimp you’d enjoy having on your plate.”
“We were just gaga (狂熱的) over it,” he said of the 7.5cm long, orange creature starring in their two – minute video. Technically, it’s not a shrimp. It’s a Lyssianasid amphipod, which is distantly related to the shrimp.
The video is likely to inspire experts to rethink what they know about life in harsh environments. And it has scientists thinking that if shrimp – like creatures can live below 180 meters of Antarctic ice in freezing dark water, what about other cold places? What about Europa, a frozen moon of Jupiter?
Cynan Ellis – Evans, a scientist of the British Antarctic Survey called the finding fascinating. He said it was possible the creatures swam in from far away and don’t live there permanently.
But Kim, who is a co-author of the study, doubts it. “The site in West Antarctica is at least 19 km from open seas. Bindschadler drilled a 20 cm – wide hole and was looking at a tiny amount of water. That means it’s unlikely that two creatures swam from great distances and were captured randomly in that small of an area,” she said.
Yet scientist were puzzled at what the food source would be for these creatures. While some microbes can make their own food out of chemicals in the ocean, complex life like the shrimp can’t, Kim said.
“So how do they survive? That’s the key question.” Kim Sai.
“It’s pretty amazing when you find a huge puzzle like that on a planet where we thought we know everything.” Kim said.

  1. 1.

    What does the underlined word “harsh” probably mean?

    1. A.
      cold
    2. B.
      loud
    3. C.
      cruel
    4. D.
      ugly
  2. 2.

    According to Kim, the shrimp – like creature        .

    1. A.
      swam great distances to Antarctic
    2. B.
      has always lived in the region
    3. C.
      gradually evolved from shrimps
    4. D.
      has nothing in common with shrimps
  3. 3.

    The finding is significant in that           .

    1. A.
      it marks NASA’S first Antarctic biological study
    2. B.
      it proves there is marine life in the Antarctic
    3. C.
      it could inspire further study of life in harsh environments
    4. D.
      it shows that Lyssianasid amphipod is closely related to shrimps
  4. 4.

    Which of the following statements about the discovery is FALSE?

    1. A.
      Complex life usually lives on other forms of life.
    2. B.
      Scientists saw two creatures in the two – minute video.
    3. C.
      It is possible for creatures to live 180 meters below the ice though there is no light.
    4. D.
      Scientists captured the shrimp – like creature in a camera by drilling a hole through the ice.

In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work everyday. In New City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They declare that if more people rode bicycles to work, there would be fewer automobiles(汽車) in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air from car engines. For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example. They want the city to draw special lanes(通道) for bicycles only on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better city feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes.
But no bicycles lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks they are a good idea-----they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don't like the idea------they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.
The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park----the largest place of open ground in New York----is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.

  1. 1.

    The bike riders suggest that _____________.

    1. A.
      bicycles should be used instead of cars   
    2. B.
      bicycle lanes should be drawn
    3. C.
      fewer buses or cars should be used  
    4. D.
      the number of special lanes should be increased
  2. 2.

    The advantage(好處) of the special lanes is that _______.

    1. A.
      they will make cars and buses run slowly  
    2. B.
      they will make it easier for bike riders to go to parks
      C .they will make the city more beautiful    D. the lanes will prevent accidents
  3. 3.

    The government has not decided whether special lanes should be drawn ______.

    1. A.
      so that everyone is disappointed     
    2. B.
      because there are different opinions
    3. C.
      because most people travel by train  
    4. D.
      because Bike for a Better City is not strong enough
