It seems that Shanghai students are not as happy as they should be. That’s what an article in a local newspaper said some time ago.
The paper did a survey of some students and asked them if they were happy. 60% of the students said they were happy, but almost 40% said they were unhappy! However, when the paper asked deaf students the same question, almost 90% said, yes, they were happy. It’s pretty surprising when you think about it. Those students who have a disability are happier than those “healthier” classmates or schoolmates.
When I asked my students if they were happy, most said yes, but they also said they had a lot of pressure: too much homework, not enough freedom, not enough money. And some worry about the future, such as getting a good job, and finding a good husband or wife. Clearly, some students handle this pressure better than others, and the deaf students seem to handle (处理) the pressure best of all. They don’t let it get them down.
I can only imagine why this is. Maybe it has a lot to do with “overcoming adversity (战胜逆境)”. The deaf students have already had to deal with a big problem in their lives. They can’t hear, so talking to other people is very difficult, if not impossible. To communicate with others, they’ve had to learn sign language. After learning to “sign”, they’ve found new friends and they’ve also found the joy that comes with “overcoming adversity”.
We can all learn a lesson from these deaf students.
【1】The survey in the passage is done by a newspaper in ________.
A.England
B.Beijing
C.Shandong
D.Shanghai
【2】Which of the following is true according to the survey?
A.The number of unhappy students is larger than that of happy ones.
B.Almost 90% students said they were unhappy.
C.All the students who have a disability are happy.
D.Most deaf students feel that they are happy.
【3】The writer of the passage may be a ________.
A.teacher
B.doctor
C.reporter
D.Nurse
【4】The underlined part “get them down” means ________in Chinese.
A.让他们下来
B.写下他们的名字
C.使他们沮丧
D.使他们振作起来
【5】According to the passage, the deaf students are happier than others because ________.
A.they can’t hear anything
B.they found joy that come with “overcoming adversity”
C.it is difficult for them to communicate with others
D.it is impossible for them to talk to others
25、I left my hometown in London last year and now I have enjoyed working in this small city in China. Learning a foreign language opens you up to the culture and history of a country. So in order to know more about China, I started to learn Chinese.
But at times, I found myself in funny situations. When I greeted strangers in China, they began to talk a lot and very fast. They asked me questions about everything. But all I could do was to look at them with a blank face. I had no idea what they were talking about. Were they just kind, funny or impolite? Many people want to make friends with me. But I am a bit upset when I find out the reason why they need a foreign friend. They just want to practice their English. I don’t need friends like these. I like friends to share my feelings and ideas with.
However, the more Chinese I learn, the more similarities I find it has with English. In English, “thick-skinned” is used to describe a person who doesn’t care about criticism (批评). I was surprised to find that houlianpi in Chinese means the same. And both languages share some common idioms (习语). For example, “look on with folded arms” means xiushoupangguan, and “burn the boats” is similar to pofuchenzhou.
I’m still on my journey to learning Chinese. I believe that sometimes you will have the most fun on a journey.
【1】The writer comes from ________.
A.the UK
B.the USA
C.Australia
D.Canada
【2】Many Chinese want to make friends with the writer because ________.
A.they are interested in Western culture
B.they want a partner to practice English with
C.they are willing to share their feelings and ideas with them
D.they want to help him with Chinese
【3】The underlined word “similarities” means “________” in Chinese.
A.相似点
B.不同点
C.规律性
D.重要性
【4】A thick-skinned person may ________.
A.be very strong and seldom fan ill
B.like to criticize others for their mistakes
C.talk a lot and speak fast
D.feel OK when he’s criticized
【5】If there would be a paragraph before the last paragraph of the text, it most probably would be about ________.
A.the reasons why the writer wants to learn Chinese
B.the similarities Chinese and English share
C.the differences between Chinese and English
D.the importance of learning Chinese and English
26、 What should you do or not do when you are eating in Britain?
The British generally pay a lot of attention to good table manners. Even young children are expected to eat with knives and forks in a proper way. They eat most of their food with a knife, fork, or spoon. The foods that they don't eat with them include sandwiches and fruit.
Things you should do
If you cannot eat a certain kind of food or have some special needs, tell your host several days before the dinner party.
If you are a guest, it is polite to wait until your host starts eating or invites you to do so. It shows your respect for the host.
Always chew (咀嚼) and swallow (吞下) all the food in your mouth before taking more or taking a drink.
Always say "thank you" when served something. It shows you're grateful.
You may eat things like chicken with your fingers if you are having a picnic with friends or on very informal occasions (场合). Otherwise always use a knife and fork.
When eating a bread roll, break off a piece before you spread butter (黄油) on it. Eating it whole shows poor taste. On formal dining occasions, it is good manners to take some butter from the butter dish with your bread knife and put it on your side plate. Then spread the butter on pieces of the roll. This keeps the butter in the dish from getting full of small pieces of bread as it is passed around.
In a restaurant, it is normal to pay for your food by putting your money on the plate that the bill comes on.
【1】Who will find the text most helpful?
A.Host families.
B.New comers in Britain.
