21、The aim to study abroad is a simple one: visit another country, experience another culture. One popular location to study abroad is India. Junior Barton studied abroad in New Delhi during the spring this year as part of the IES abroad program.
“This program was very good at connecting us to Delhi life and teaching us how to be independent yet safe within the huge crowd city.” she said about the program. Because the IES program in New Delhi does not offer classes in Barton’s major, public health, she instead decided to take classes that absorbed herself in Indian culture.
She noticed that one of her favorite classes was Classic Kathak—one form of Indian classical dance. She also wanted to take advantage of the class assignments to sink in Indian culture.
Regarding the impact that learning Kathak had on her as a dancer and as a person, Barton said that “it definitely opened me to new ideas and techniques to dance, to give expression with the face and the fine symbols, for example a flower, that our hands can make”.
Concerning daily life, Barton finds that there were quite a few differences in expected behavior. For one, she had to speak in Hindi whenever she went out “to be taken seriously and not be taken in like a foreigner”.
She also admitted that she “was stared at a lot by men and women because she stood out. She needed a lot of patience and inner strength to get over the staring every time she stepped outside”.
For her, studying in India was an experience that changed her as a person. “I became more patient with people and circumstances. I became more tolerant (宽容的) and unable to be affected by things I can’t control”.
【1】Why was Barton interested in dancing classes?
A．Dancing washer major.

22、The term "organizational culture" refers to the norms and values of an organization, which together make the personality of the company. 【1】They govern the way employees interact with each other within the workplace. Therefore, improving organizational culture is the need of the hour. When it comes to improving organizational culture, the following ways are worth trying.
【2】When your employees know how to do things the right way and what the company expects from them, the rates of conflicts and errors can be brought down significantly. In addition, through the right training your employees will become enthusiastic and be interested in working as a team and improving the work atmosphere as a whole.
Another good way is to analyze the existing culture and compare it with the expectations of your employees. Organize discussions with your team members and talk about matters related to the current culture of the organization. 【3】
Conflicts are an unavoidable part of any organization and have direct bearing on the health of its culture. 【4】Therefore, when conflicts do arise, the management must settle them quickly, in case they become worse over time. If employees feel they are all being treated equally, they are more likely to accept their mistakes and the judgment of the management.
Since the organization is a collection of people, cooperation matters to attain the objectives. 【5】It may involve fun activities, like sports, games or serious ones.

23、People who do not get enough vitamin A in their diet may develop night blindness. But in the developing world, a lack of vitamin A causes much more serious harm to children. The world Health Organization links the lack of vitamin A to as many as 250,000 child deaths every year.
One excellent source of vitamin A is found in newly developed sweet potatoes with orange flesh. Orange sweet potatoes contain high levels of beta-carotene, which the body changes into vitamin A. Experts say orange sweet potatoes could help the Africans who are lacking in vitamin A. But, first, more people will need to be persuaded to eat them. Sweet potatoes need a better image in Africa. Jan Low with the International Potato Center says, “We do have an image problem with sweet potatoes. In many African countries, they are seen as a crop of the poor.”
Ms. Low explains that sweet potatoes are mainly grown by poor women to feed their families in case another crop fails. The sweet potatoes commonly grown in Africa have white or yellow flesh. But they are low in vitamin A.
Jan Low took part in a project to study how to market orange sweet potatoes to Africans best. She worked on an information campaign(活动) in Mozambique and Uganda. The campaign included radio messages about the nutritional(营养的) benefits of the orange sweet potato. They advertised its ability to “fight diseases, make you strong, clear you skin and make you look healthy”. In areas without radio, the campaigners spread the message through theater. The performances included singing, dancing and storytelling. And everywhere they went, the campaigners wore orange T-shirts and hats. They even drove orange cars.
Dan Gustafson heads the Washington office of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. He mentions the efforts in the past to increase the popularity of other nutritious crops. He says most of these efforts failed because organizers of the campaigns did not consider what people wanted to eat. People want to eat what they are familiar with. But Mr. Gustafson sees a better chance for the efforts to increase the popularity of the orange sweet potato in Africa. Except for the color, the orange sweet potato is almost the same as what people already eat. Dan Gustafson says, “I think this time the campaigners will succeed, because they have made enough advertisements and the difference between the vegetable they have advertised and what people already eat is not a radical one.”
【1】What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?
A. The benefits of vitamin A.
B. The causes of night blindness.
C. The results of a lack of vitamin A.
D. The main reasons for child deaths.
【2】Many Africans believe that _____.
A. sweet potatoes are harmful
B. sweet potatoes are expensive
C. sweet potatoes are not nutritious
D. sweet potatoes are for the poor
【3】The campaigners advertised orange sweet potatoes through _____.
A. radio B. television

24、As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像)the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”
【1】The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to ______.
A. show the relationship between parents and children

A. they are busy serving food to their children
B. they have to pay more attention to younger children
C. they are busy keeping order at the dinner table
D. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family
【3】Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question ______.
A. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life
B. why TV is important in family life
C. why parents should keep good order
D. why children in small families seem to be quieter
【4】Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?

B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.
C. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner
D. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.
