              China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them, all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year.I've found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However, people still use their bicycles to get around.For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.

              It's fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道)．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.

              Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.

              My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的)．To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.

              Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.

              I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.

              1.According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?

              A．Because they are traditional and safe.

              B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive.

              C．Because they are colorful and available.

              D．Because they are fast and environment­friendly.

              2.The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ________.

              A．to ride it for fun

              B．to use it for transport

              C．to experience local culture

              D．to improve his riding skills

              3.How did the author feel about his street crossing?

              A．It was boring.  B．It was difficult.

              C．It was lively.  D．It was wonderful.

              4.Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?

              A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.

              B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding.

              C．The author was praised by the other bikers.

              D．The author took great pleasure in biking.

            • 2． With the videogame market flooded with more violent games, it can be a constant struggle for parents to monitor and limit their children’s video-gaming.
                 But a recent US Supreme Court decision doesn’t help parents. The ruling struck down California’s 2010 law that had prevented the sale or rental to those younger than 18 of violent games. The majority opinion said such limits went against First Amendment rights. So, parents, it’s up to you to fight against the influences of the＄18 billion video-gaming industry.
                 With so many video and computer games easily accessible, that monitoring role isn’t easy. It’s not just a matter of saying “no” to children, say psychologists. Some parents who shun government involvement in such matters welcomed the ruling, even while hating violent video games.
              “It’s a parent’s responsibility to teach them what they should watch and use,” said Ruth Forster, 45, Avon. Her daughter, Ellie, 13, doesn't like to play video games now, but Forster monitors her daughter’s movies and books. “Parents need to see how children react to a video and how it affects them,” she advised. “There are other video games out there you can help them to choose. Hopefully, if you instilled(灌输)enough good things  in them, they’ll do the right thing.” Parents need to be aware of the games their children are playing and how long they’re playing, and make sure the games are appropriate for their ages and personalities, she said.
                 It’s not hard to find reviews, ratings(分级) and details about games. Video-game ratings by the Entertainment Software Rating Board, give consumers an idea of the level of violence, sexual content and bad language. Videos with a rating of “M” for mature, for example, are said to be suitable for people 17 and older. But the system is voluntary, so younger children can buy or rent “M”-rated games. But it’s not enough to rely completely on the ratings.

            • 4． Culture shock is so named because of the effect it has on people when they enter a new culture．Experts have been interested in these effects and have agreed on five basic stages of culture shock．These stages are general and should only be used as a reference．Not every individual will go through each stage，and one stage may last longer than another for different individuals．
              The hardest thing for most travelers to deal with is the emotional"roller coaster"they seem to be riding．One moment they feel very positive toward the new culture，and the next moment very negative．It seems common that international visitors and immigrants vacillate（犹豫不定）between loving and hating a new country．Feelings of separation and alienation can be intensified if they do not have a sense of fitting in or belonging．
              Fatigue is another problem people face when entering a new culture．There can be a sense of greater need for sleep．This is due not only to physical tiredness，but also to mental fatigue．This mental fatigue comes from straining to comprehend the language，and coping with new situation．
              The impact of culture shock can vary from person to person．There can be significant differences because some people may be better prepared to enter a new culture．Four factors which play into these are personality，language ability，length of stay，and the emotional support received．
              It is logical to think that when people are deprived of heir familiar surroundings they will feel disoriented．One solution some have found is to bring a few small reminders of home．Pictures，wall hangings，favorite utensils，and keepsake are all good candidates to make things feel more familiar．Another helpful activity is to establish little routines that become familiar over time．Even better is fitting things that were part of the regular routine back in the home country into the routine established in the new culture．This will make people feel more at home．
              （Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）

              [1]Some expressions describe people who are important，or who at least think they are．One such expression is bigwig．
              [2]In the seventeenth century，important men in Europe began to wear false hair，called wigs．As years passed，wigs began to get bigger．The size of a man's wig depended on how important he was． The more important he was-or thought he was一                 ．
              Today，the expression bigwig is used to make fun of a person who feels important．People never tell someone he is a bigwig．They only use the expression behind his back．
              [3]Big wheel is another way to describe an important person．A big wheel may be the head of a company，a political leader，a famous movie star．They are big wheels because they are powerful．What they do affects many people．Big wheels give the orders．Other people carry them out．As in many machines，a big wheel makes the little wheels turn．Big wheel became a popular expression after World WarⅡ．It probably comes from an expression used for many years by people who fix parts of cars and trucks．They said a person roiled a big wheel if he was important and had influence．
              [4]The top of something is the highest part．So it is not surprising that top is part of another expression that describes an important person．The expression is top banana．A top banana is the leading person in a comedy show．The funniest comedian is called the top banana．The next is second banana．And so on．Why a banana？A comedy act in earlier days often included a part where one of the comedians would hit the others over the head with a soft object． The object was shaped like the yellow fruit：the banana．Top banana still is used mainly in show business．Yet the expression can also be used to describe the top person in any area．

            • 6． [1]The year 2008 has one extra day in it-February 29th．Well，it actually takes the planet Earth a little more than 365 days to revolve completely around the sun．After four years an extra 24 hours have accumulated so an extra day is added to the calendar．
              [2]It is called a leap year because hundreds of years ago in England，the extra day wasn't legally recognized．The British just leapt over that day．Therefore a year with 29 days in February is consequently called a leap year and that 29th day is sometimes called Leap Day．If you are born on 29th February in a leap year，there are difficulties in celebrating your birthday．So people tend to celebrate on either 28th February or 1st March every year．
              [3]There is a well-known tradition in the UK associated with 29th February，introduced many centuries ago．Women are allowed to break with tradition and propose （求婚）to their boyfriends on this day．This all started back in the 5th Century，when a famous Irish saint，Bridget，complained to Saint Patrick，another famous Irish saint，that women had to wait too long for men to propose．
              According to the legend，Saint Patrick said any female longing for a proposal could ask their boyfriend to marry them on this additional day in February．
              [4]Now in 2008，there are calls for 29th February to become a public holiday．Some people believe that it should be an official day off，because no one gets paid for working in a leap day．For the moment though，the British still have to go to work on this day．

            • 7． （1）The British summer is extremely beautiful．Trees，flowers，birds and butterflies make the whole country like a big garden．However，many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this picturesque scenery during the past several years．What has happened to them？
                  （2）Butterfly Conservation，a charity in the UK，is running a survey to help answer this question．The result is more serious than people expected．According to the survey，among 59 butterfly species found in Britain，more than three quarters of them are suffering a declining population，including the most popular ones．What's more，half of all butterfly species are in the danger of dying out．Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping dramatically．The latter cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England．The Blue butterfly was commonly seen in the south．However，it has started colonizing （迁徙至）Edinburgh in the past few years．
                  （3）The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years largely because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their habitat is also worsening．Fortunately Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers．Conservationists believe the warm weather will bring some benefit to the butterflies．
                  （4）Sir David Attenborough，president of Butterfly Conservation，said："Large quantities of butterflies tell us that all is well with nature．When they decline it's a warning that other wildlife will be soon           ．"
                  （5）The survey is still going on．The public are also encouraged to keep track of the UK's    butterfly population．The organizers hope the survey will help raise public awareness of the value of butterflies in the UK．Butterflies give an indication of the well-being of nature and the environment．

              （71）    People traveled in search of food and shelter or in order to flee from their enemies．Sometimes they were looking for gold or silver in order to become rich．On other occasions they were searching for rich farmland．
              This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for fun．Even in ancient times，some pleasure travel occurred．During a typical season，700，000 tourists would crowd into the ancient city of Rome，where animals performed and magicians entertained them．（72）    
              （73）     International tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010，according to the World Trade Organization．
              （74）    Probably the most common reason for traveling is related to our physical well-being．Actually，traveling to sports events is one of the fastest growing types of travel．In our fast developing society where stress has become part of people's life，people can rest and relax by having a change of environment and activities．
              （75）     No one seems to doubt that travel broadens the mind．In 18 th century Europe，young men would go on a Grand Tour to various countries in order to complete their education．Today the desire to travel to different countries is encouraged by modern mass media．People who travel to other countries can at the same time learn more about their own country and culture．

              A．But why do people like traveling so much？
              B．Throughout history，most travel was not for pleasure．
              C．So they travel to a lake for a swim or to a park for a hike．

            • 9． The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups．Silences may be thoughtful，or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say．A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness，uneasiness，or worry．Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable； therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap（间隙）with conversation．Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs．
              Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people，just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do．Therefore，when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops，what may be implied（暗示） is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing．In these cultures，silence is a call for reflection．
              Other cultures may use silence in other ways，particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power．For example，Russian，French，and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion．However，Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her．In still another use，persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect，particularly to an elder or a person in authority．
              Nurses and other care-geivers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be expericencing．Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily．A nurse who understands the healing（治愈） value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures．
              32．What does the author say about silence in conversations？    
              A．It implies anger．
              B．It promotes friendship．
              C．It is culture-specific．
              D．It is content-based．
              33．Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought？    
              A．The Chinese．
              B．The French．
              C．The Mexicans．
              D．The Russians．
              34．What does the author advise nurses to do about silence？    
              A．Let it continue as the patient pleases．
              B．Break it while treating patients．
              C．Evaluate its harm to patients．
              D．Make use of its healing effects．
              35．What may be the best title for the text？    
              A．Sound and Silence
              B．What It Means to Be Silent
