Privacy Chinese people do not have the same idea of privacy as Americans do. They talk about topics such as ages, income or marriage, which Americans think is annoying and makes them uncomfortable.FamilyIn China, elders are traditionally treated with a lot of respect while the young are cherished (关爱). 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.FriendsChinese people think that hanging out together from time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends who should 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.MoneyAs is well known, the Chinese like to save. They always plan how to spend money. It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education.EducationChinese people value education and career more than Americans, while Americans pay more attention to good character and faith.IndividualismBasically China values the community and the US values the individual. If you achieve something in the USA, its because you are great. While in China, if you achieve something its because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do depends on the greater whole, while in America individual value is celebrated.29. Which do Americans pay more attention to? A. Privacy, family, education and individual value. B. Independence, friendship, career and good character. C. Privacy, independence, good character and individual value. D. Independence, career achievements, good character and faith.30. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Chinese usually think friends are lifelong friends. B. Chinese pay more attention to education and character. C. Americans dislike talking about ages, income or marriage. D. Americans save little money for emergencies and education.31. Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A. American CultureB. Cultural Differences C. The Value of the Culture D. Exciting and Challenging ExperienceCOne evening about 20 years ago, I watched a documentary about how, in 1947, a “flying saucer” had crashed in Roswell. Several people who had seen the crash were interviewed, including a nurse who said she had examined an alien who had been injured in the crash. At first, the people of Roswell were told that a flying saucer had crashed. Shortly afterwards they were told that it was not a flying saucer but a weather balloon. I decided that the only way I could learn the truth about flying saucers was to investigate (调查) them myself.I have done a lot of research and although I still havent discovered the truth about Roswell, I have discovered the truth about hundreds of other UFOs. A lot of UFOs are actually army planes or weather balloons, while others turn out to be natural phenomena (现象) like planets or comets (彗星). By far the largest number of UFOs turn out to be so-called “fireball” meteorsslow-moving meteors that can take up to a minute to travel across the night sky.When Im investigating a UFO report, I arrange to meet the person at the place where they have seen the flying saucer. I like to interview a witness at the scene and then take photographs of the area. Then I speak to my contacts at local military (军事的) bases and weather station, and then check the witness details against my information.In about 95% of the cases Ive dealt with, the “flying saucers” turn out to be weather balloons, planes or natural phenomena. That still leaves 5% of that, no matter what, just cannot be explained.32. The writer says that UFOs . A. always travel across the sky slowlyB. usually fly near natural phenomena C. are always seen near weather balloons D. often turn out to be a kind of meteor33. What will the writer do if you think you have seen a flying saucer? A. Hell suggest that you contact a military base. B. Hell take a photograph of you for his records. C. Hell ask you to take a photograph of it for him. D. Hell meet you and ask you to describe what you saw.34. When the writer investigates flying saucers, he . A. makes sure that someone has taken photos of them B. gives the witness the names of people who can help C. cant find a proper explanation about 5% of the cases D. always tells the local weather station before he arrives35. What is the writers main purpose in writing the text? A. To describe how local weather station use balloons. B. To explain why she became a flying saucer investigator. C. To describe how she discovered the truth about Roswell. D. To explain why she enjoys watching television documentaries.D Painting and writing on walls is nothing new. In prehistoric (史前的) times, people in Africa and Europe painted pictures of animals and people in caves. Graffiti has been found at ancient sites in Greece, Italy, Syria and Iraq. In the Roman town of Pompeii in Italy, archaeologists found a lot of graffiti written in Latin, including political and romantic messages, and even some magic spells!In the 1970s, young people in New York used pens to write their names, or “tags”, on walls around the city. One of the first “taggers” was Demetrius, a teenager from a Greek family. He wrote his tag on walls in his neighbourhood and in subway stations on the way to school. Other teenagers saw Demetriuss tag and started writing their own tags on walls, buses and subway trains all over New York. Then, some teenagers stopped using pens and started using paints. Their tags were bigger and more colourful and appeared on trains, buses and walls around the world. In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists started to make pictures too. In many countries, it is a crime to paint on walls and street artists can have problems with the police. In other countries, street art is permitted in certain places. Nowadays, street art is more popular with the public. In some cities, there are street art festivals. In Bristol in the UK, there is a street art festival in August every year. Artists paint all the buildings in a street. Lots of people come to watch the artists and take photos. Street art can be seen in galleries (美术馆) too. There have been exhibitions of street art in galleries in Paris, London and Los Angeles. Most street artists are young people who paint in their neighbourhood or home city. Many of them use the Internet to communicate and share photos of their pictures with other street artists around the world. Although we dont know what will happen to street art in the future, we can be sure that it is here to stay!36. Graffiti in ancient times includes different kinds of themes EXCEPT .
