1、 What does it mean to be a Chinese? According to a survey, more than 40% of Chinese people believe the Chinese love the country and their families. 1. About one-third of foreign people describe the Chinese as hard-working and creative people. From 1931 to 1945, millions of soldiers lost their lives in the war against Japanese aggression. 2. After 1949, plenty of people worked day and night for the development of China.
While the love of the country joins the people together, family plays a big role in traditional Chinese culture. Aaron Cedillo, an English teacher in Beijing, said, “My Chinese friends get married and have babies when they turn a certain age. 3. 他们选择或者放弃一份工作时,首先考虑的是家人。”
Besides, the characters of being hard-working and creative also come to light. Sheryl, a Malaysian student at Zhejiang University, said Chinese people were hard-working when she saw some men send the package. She said, “4. 似乎那些人从不需要休息。” A foreign university professor has found Chinese students in the lab could always come up with new ideas. “I’m really surprised,” he said. 5. The past 70 years saw China’s rapid rise to become an important country in the world. During the process, the international community, including Chinese people themselves, has got a clearer understanding of Chinese traits(品质).

24、根据表格信息,从每小题的A、B、C、D中选出最佳答案。
The earth is 4 600 million years old. We humans have lived on earth for only 35 000 years, but during this period we have changed our planet a lot in many ways. Some things we’ve done are very good for the earth while some are bad.
All over the world, people have cut down millions of trees. When it rains or when the wind blows, the earth is taken away. Forests have become deserts, so more and more sorts of animals and plants are disappearing.
In big cities, cars and buses have polluted the air. Many people in cities now have health problems.
Factories have also polluted the land and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes are nowdead.
Around the earth, there’s a special kind of oxygen called “ozone”(O3). It is important to theearth. But now air pollution is destroying it and that has made a very big hole in the ozone layer. Too much harmful radiation from the sun passes through the hole and reaches the earth directly. This is very dangerous because this kind of radiation can cause cancer.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air has increased a lot. It mainly comes from burning oil, coal andwood. This has formed a “blanket” around the earth. The heat from the sun can’t escape so thetemperature is rising. This is called “the greenhouse effect”. It causes the level of the oceans to rise and the climate of the earth to change.
All these problems are very serious, so we must do something now.

25、 Gift-giving, table manners: what’s acceptable at home doesn’t necessarily apply in other countries. Here are 8 distinctive customs to use as your passport to new experiences and friendships.
Avoid giving certain flowers in Russia Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or business associate in Russia. Yellow blooms signify deceit(欺骗) or a relationship break-up. Skip red carnations, too. Traditionally, red carnation are placed on the grave of the dead. |
Don’t expect a “Thank You” card for these gifts in China Clocks, straw sandals(草鞋) are all associated with death and funerals in China. Deemed inappropriate and morbid, you’ll risk damaging relationship if you present these gifts-for any occasion-to someone in China. |
Skip the salt in Egypt When tucking into a meal in Egypt, by-pass the saltshaker. It’s insulting(侮辱的) to your host to sprinkle salt on your food. If you have to season your plate, it means that you find the meal’s taste disgusting. |
Don’t show up on time in Venezuela Here’s one place where being early or on time is viewed as being rude. In Venezuela if you are invited to someone’s home for a meal, it’s recommended that you arrive 10-15 minutes later than the requested time. Early or on time guests are viewed as being too eager, even greedy(贪婪的). |
Always use a knife and fork in Norway In Norway, table manners are extremely important. Most meals, including sandwiches, are eaten using utensils(餐具). |
Be “blunt” in the Netherlands Gift giving should be a happy, positive experience. When selecting a present for someone in the Netherland, don’t purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors. Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky. |
Red equals dead in Korea Writing a lot of cards or notes while visiting South Korea? Be mindful of your pen’s ink color. Scrawling(潦草地写) a person’s name in red ink traditionally signifies that the person is deceased, which means dead. |
Stick to the sauna(桑拿浴) in Finland In Finland, saunas are a preferred way to relax and socialize with family and friends. Don’t be surprised if your business meeting is followed up with an invite to let off some steam in a local sauna. If you receive such a request, rest assured that your business meeting went well. |
【1】Being on time can be seen as a merit in many countries, but in __________, it can be considered as rude.
A.China B.Russia C.Norway D.Venezuela
【2】The word “blunt” means ________.
A.钝的 B.坦率的 C.精致的 D.锋利的

【4】Which of the following is true?
