Once there was a farmer who lived on a farm in Africa. One day, a wise man visited him and told him about the value of diamonds (钻石). He said, “If you had a diamond as big as your thumb (大拇指), you could have your own city. If you had a diamond as big as your fist (拳头), you could probably have your own county.”

That night the farmer couldn’t sleep well. He was very unhappy because he was not satisfied with what he had. He wanted to become rich. The next morning he sold his farm to a man and went to look-for diamonds. He travelled all over Africa, Europe and America, but couldn’t find any diamonds. He became so sad that he threw himself into a river and died.

Two years later, the man who had bought the farmer’s farm found a stone on the farm. He put the stone on a shelf in the living room. One day the wise man visited him and saw the stone. He checked the stone carefully and said that it was a diamond. The man was happy and excited because there were many “stones” on the farm.

We talked with June Galloway about her book Get off on the Right Foot: Don’t Let the Wrong Gesture Ruin (毁坏) Your Day.

English is the world’s international language. But in your book, non-verbal (不用语言的) communication is paid more attention to. 　　　 ▲　　　

June: Well, gestures (手势) and other body language can have different meanings in different places. Something that you think is friendly or polite could be considered to be very impolite in another culture. I’ve described many of these customs and cultural differences, so my readers won’t have a bad start when they meet people from places where the culture is different from their own.

Can greeting someone the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding (误解)?

June: In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects may seem quite impolite in other places. And a light handshake―which is usual in some countries—may seem unfriendly to a North American.

What other gestures can cause misunderstanding?

June: Take the gesture for “come here” for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm (掌心) up. Well, in southern Europe, that gesture means “goodbye”. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude. Instead, people there gesture with the palm down.

Surely, there must be some gestures used everywhere, right? What about the thumb-up (翘拇指) gesture for “great”?

June: Sorry. That’s very rude in Australia and the Middle East. That is why it important to know about body language and cultural differences.

1.Which gesture should you use if you want to say “goodbye”.in southern Europe?

A. B.

C. D.

2.According to the passage, ________ is/are NOT mentioned in June’s book.

A.the importance of body language. B.some common gestures

C.the development of body language D.different meanings of a gesture

3.Which of the following can be put in the 　　　 ▲　　　 ?

A.How is that possible? B.Could it make readers interested?

C.Can you give us some examples? D.why is that so important?

4.What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A.June paid more attention to the language of English in her book.

B.A girl from Australia may be angry with you if you praise her by using the thumb-up gesture.

C.Body language is the world’s international language.

D.In many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude.

Living in the information time, we are faced with tons of news about our county and society every day. But what is true and what is false? There is a group of people whose job is to offer an official (官方的) voice and form a bridge between governments, the public and the media (媒体). These people are news spokespersons.

Spokespersons usual host news conference (会议), where they explain policies (政策) and answer questions from the media. According to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang, a news spokesperson is “a window into our county for the media, especially for the foreign media.”

To achieve this, news spokespersons are often experts in some fields. This way, they can clearly express these fields to the public.

For example, Wang Hui, the spokesperson for the Beijing government during the 2008 Olympics, was once a senior editor (编辑) at the Beijing TV station. She has lots of knowledge about how the media works. Mao Qun’an, who used to be a spokesperson for the Ministry of Heath, has a master’s degree in medicine. He helped a lot during the SARS illness of 2003.

Spokespersons also need to be able to think quickly. They often have to answer different kinds of questions from the media.

Spokespersons sometimes speak in their own style instead of always using official expressions. Here are a few examples.

It is easier to move a mountain than to shake the PLA. (Wu Qian)

What a waste of money it was for Japan to do so! (Yang Yujun)

1.Spokespersons usually host news conferences to ________　 policies and answer questions.

A.discuss B.explain C.make D.work out

2.A news spokesperson ________.

A.must know how the media works B.must control the media and the public

C.can sometimes speak in his own style D.can always say whatever he waits to

3.The passage mainly talks about ________.

A.what a news spokesperson is B.where a news spokesperson works

C.how important a news spokesperson is D.why a news spokesperson thinks quickly

4.To support his idea, the writer develops the text many by ________.

A.giving examples B.using old sayings

C.listing reasons D.making comparisons (比较)

In the past, Chinese buyers liked foreign brands better, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality than Chinese ones. But now that is no longer the case.

“Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign bands are better than Chinese ones”, William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9. But for those who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.

“When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big.” Li said. “But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference.”

The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where western companies controlled before. A study by Credit Suisse which came out in March found that more and more young Chinese buyers are showing a home brand bias.

More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home brands, according to the study. At the same time, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products raised their share (份额) of the market by 33% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.

“Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don’t just believe that foreign brands are better. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘Made in China’ is not bad at all”, Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.

The Chinese smart phone market is controlled by home companies Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to go down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.More and more foreigners go to buy Chinese products.

B.Older Chinese people don’t like foreign products anymore.

C.More and more Chinese buyers prefer Chinese product.

D.Huawei is Top One in the world smartphone market.

2.Which of the following best explains home brand bias in Paragraph 4?

A.Apple had a market share of 54% in 2015.

B.More than 90% of young Chinese buyers prefer home brands.

C.Chinese people born before 1985 think Chinese brands aren’t as good as foreign ones.

D.Some Chinese people think American or European brands are of higher quality.

E.

3.The structure of the passage may be ________.

(①=para.1　 ②=para.2　 ③=para.3 ④=para.4　 ⑤=para.5　 ⑥=para.6　 ⑦=para.7)

A.①;②③;④⑤⑥⑦ B.①;②③④;⑤⑥⑦

C.①②;③④⑤;⑥⑦ D.①②;③④;⑤⑥⑦

4.What’s the best title for this passage?

A.Young Chinese are crazy for foreign brands.

B.Chinese products get more popular at home.

C.‘Made in China’ is welcomed all over the world.

D.The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies.

When your pens broken, the battery (电池) in your toy runs out, or you have some leftover food, what do you do with these things? You will probably throw them all into one bin (垃圾箱). But actually, all of these pieces of rubbish need to be sorted (分类) separately (单独地).

Rubbish sorting is a big thing all over the world. In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it.

Shanghai is asking all of its residents (居民) to sort their rubbish into four groups: wet, recyclable (可回收的), harmful (有害的) and dry.

Wet waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want but pigs can eat,” Guangzhou Daily joked. Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste. Harmful waste incudes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯泡). Finally, any waste that is not wet, recyclable or harmful will go to the “dry waste” bin.

Many other Chinese cities are also using this way to sort their rubbish. For example, Shenzhen has been sorting its rubbish into the same four groups since 2012. Students there also have to learn waste sorting at school.

China is working hard on waste sorting. There is still a long way to go. But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your rubbish rightly and protect the environment.

1.How many groups are people in Shanghai sorting their rubbish into?

_______________________________________________________________________

2.Are many other Chinese cities sorting their rubbish?

3.What should you do with metal waste and medicine waste according to the passage?
