which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.so he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. he managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. then he started to call nearby villagers for help. they immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived a well-known sage (a wise person) who lived in a simple hut nearby. people were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many peoples problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones.he was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man. everybody was surprised. the hanging mango lover started to shout, “what are you doing? are you crazy? do you want me to break my neck?” the sage was silent. then he took another stone and threw it at the man. the man was very angry, “if i could just come down, i would show you!”thats what everybody wanted. then he was coming down. but how? now everybody was tense about what would happen next! some wanted to blame the sage, but they didnt. the sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. now the man on the tree was even more angry and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge (复仇).he then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. and he made it! everybody was amazed.however, the rescued man found the sage gone. he stood there, realizing that the man really saved him because he induced (引诱) him to try his best and save

sam, he repeatedly referred to the korean presidents wife as mrs. kim. by mistake, president clintons advisers thought that koreans have the same naming customs as the japanese. clinton had not been told that, in korea, wives keep their family names. president kim young sams wife was named sohm myong suk. therefore, she should be addressed (称谓) as mrs. sohm. president clinton arrived in korea directly after leaving japan and had not changed his culture gears. his failure to follow korean customs gave the impression that korea was not as important to him as japan. in addition to koreans some asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. this practice often puzzles english-speaking teachers when talking with a pupils parents. they become puzzled about the students correct last name. placing the family name first is common among a number of asian cultures. mexican naming customs are different as well. when a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husbands name after the word “de”, which means “of”. this affects how they fill in forms in the united states. when requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the fathers family name. but mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. this often causes puzzlement. here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: dont always think that a married woman uses her husbands last name. remember that in many asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed (颠倒). ask which name a person would prefer to use. if the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.61. the story of bill clinton is used to _. a. improve us korean relations b. introduce the topic of the text c. describe his visit to korea d. tell us how to address a person 62. the word “gears” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _. a. action plans b. naming customs c. travel maps d. thinking patterns63. when a woman marries in korea, she _.a. continues to use her family name b. uses her husbands given name c. shares her husbands family name d. adds her husbands given name to hers64. to address a married woman properly, youd better _ .a. use her middle name b. use her husbands first name c. ask her which name she likes d. change the order of her names65. what can not be inferred from the text? a. wives do not keep their family names in japan. b. different countries have different naming customs in some way. c. naming custom will not cause any puzzle among asian countries. d. the naming custom in korea is different from that of japan.d i am a writeri spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language the way it can bring an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truthlanguage is the tool of my tradeand i use them all all the englishes i grew up with born into a chinese family that had recently arrived in california, ive been giving more thought to the kind of english my mother speakslike
