You may have heard of the famous saying, "East or West, home is the best.” What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French, in Chinese, in your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation（翻译）. It's not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It's the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.

Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.

We asked some people about their homes.

How often do people move house in your country?

"In my country many people don't stay in one place for a very long time. They often move every ten years or so. "

-- Chery, Boston, USA

What are features (特征) of homes in your country?

"In Britain, even in town, there's always a garden. We have separate bedrooms and living rooms. But we don't often have balconies (阳台). The weather isn't warm enough! "

--Pat, Exeter, England

Of all the subjects at school, I like English best. They say English is too difficult to learn and that some of us have to give it up, but I don’t think so. Here I would like to tell you something about my way of studying English.

On the one hand, English is difficult to learn because of the fact that the language is so different from our mother language. On the other hand, we haven’t got enough chances to hear English spoken, and it is hard for us to speak English to foreigners.

So the first important thing for us to do, I think, is to practice speaking English more both in and out of class. In class I listen to the teacher very carefully and try my best to answer the teacher’s questions. After class I listen to the tapes of the texts again and again until I can understand every word of it. I often retell the texts in my own words. If I have the chance, I will speak English to my friends by using the things I have learned.

Of course this is not enough. In the evening I do my written work carefully. When something interesting happens to me, I will write it down in English. At first, I couldn’t write well, but with the help of my teachers I have made great progress.(进步)

八年级英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

The cultures of the east and the west are really different from each other. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.

The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are started by rivers. In China, the mother river is the Yellow River while the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own styles. Then in Tang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture gradually went overseas to Japan, mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same system.

When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the culture of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European one also crossed waters. When the colonists（殖民者）of England settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't differ from the European one a lot.

At the same time, the difference of the language system adds to the cultural differences. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic（象形的）language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system, for example, the one I'm using to write this paper.

Other factors（因素）like human race difference counts as well. But what's, more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other.

1.Are eastern culture and western culture the same system or different ones on the whole?

________________________________________________________

2.How did the Chinese culture and Indian culture start?

________________________________________________________

3.Why doesn't the American culture differ from the European one a lot?

________________________________________________________

4.How many factors of culture differences are mentioned?

_______________________________________________________

5.What is the passage mainly about?

_______________________________________________________
