Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. The following are six cultural differences between China and the US to help promote mutual understanding. 1．______________ Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. They talk about topics such as ages, income or marital status, which Americans think is annoying and disturbing. 2．Family In China, elders are traditionally treated with great respect while the young are cared for . In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children. 3．Friends Chinese people have different meanings to define friends. Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends who feel deeply necessary to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends. 4．Money As is well known, the Chinese like to save. They are always conservative（保守的） when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts（对应面）. 5．Education Chinese people value education and career more than Americans, who in turn put more emphasis on good character and faith. 6．Team VS Individual Basically China values the community and the US values the individual. If you achieve something in the US, it's because you were great. While in China, if you achieve something in China it’s because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do gets attributed to the greater whole, while in America individual merits（功绩）are celebrated. 21．The most appropriate word to show the first cultural difference is . A．Privacy B．Income C．Age D．Marriage 22．Which is a fact according to the text? A．American parents seldom live with their children. B．There is no friendship between American people drinking together. C．Chinese people are usually generous with money to spend. D．Americans value good character and faith in terms of education. 23．The underlined phrase in the text can Not be replaced by . A．is attached to B．benefits from C．is contributed to D．results from

CAPE TOWN, Oct. 6 (Xinhua)─A senior WHO official on Tuesday praised Chinese pharmacologist（药物学家）Tu Youyou for winning the 2015 Nobel Prize for Physiology（生理学）or Medicine, the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel prize in science. Matshidiso Rebecca Moeti, regional director for WHO’s Africa Region, told Xinhua that the drug Artemisinin（青蒿素）, which was discovered by Tu, has significantly reduced the death rates for patients suffering from malaria（疟疾）. For Chinese scientists, this is a “historic moment,” Moeti said from the 2nd Ministerial Forum of China-Africa Health Development taking place in Cape Town. The discovery of Artemisinin has greatly contributed to the health of the peoples in the world, Moeti said. The contribution is more evident in Africa where many people, particularly children are killed by malaria, which is one of major killers in the continent, she added. With Artemisinin, Africa has changed for the better and has been put in a better position to achieve the UN Milllenium Development Goals, Moeti said. She said health workers in Africa all know that Artemisinin comes from China and they all appreciate that. Moeti described China as “a great partner” in Africa’s development, particularly in the health field since Chinese medical assistance to Africa has lasted long periods.

We are always convinced that life will be better than another only when we get married and even have a baby. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and that we have teenagers to deal with. We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse（配偶）gets his or her act together, when we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vocation and when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time than right now. If not now, when? One of my favorite sayings comes from Alfred Souza. He said. “For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin－real life. But there were always many obstacles in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.” This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have. And remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school; until you get married, until you get divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy． Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So, work like you don’t need money, love like you’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching. 32．The underlined phrase “dawned on” in Paragraph 2 probably means . A．became clear to B．got used to C．was familiar to D．gave up to 33．According to Alfred Souza, he cannot begin a real life because . A．he has succeeded in doing some business B．he has too many debts to pay off C．he has met with many obstacles in life D．he has got through something important 34．The author tries to tell us that . A．Happiness is a destination not a journey B．Treasuring every second means happiness C．We are happy when kids grow up D．Life will be better in the future 35．Which of the following shows the structure of the whole passage?

Feel the Meaning of Life Imagine life as a game, in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them: Work, Family, Health, Friends, Spirit. And you’re keeping all of these in the air. 36 . If you drop it, it will bounce back. 37 . If you drop one of these, they will be marked, damaged or even broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. 38 . It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don’t set your goals by what other people consider important. Only you know what is best for you. Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Stick to them as you would cling to your life, for without them, life is meaningless. Never give up when you still have something to give. 39 . 40 .The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going. A．Life is like a roller coaster, live it, be happy, enjoy life. B．Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. C．Don’t weaken your worth by comparing yourself with others. D．you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. E．Don't shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. F．You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. G．But the other four balls are made of glass.
