26、The first time Mohamed went to a restaurant in his new neighborhood, he realized that he wasn’t in Tunis anymore. He was excited when he first arrived here, but now, his excitement seemed gone.

He looked at the menu, not knowing what these names meant, and ordered an ice cream in a cup. While waiting, he looked at the pizzas, breads and cookies.

The waitress came back with a cup of soda. Mohamed, though feeling mystified at first, took it and thanked her. He must have used the wrong word! Then he forced a smile and pointed at a cookie, “That one, too”, which seemed to work.

Mohamed took his food to a table. Why had English been so easy in classes, but when it came to actually speaking, he couldn’t even name what he wanted. Mohamed wondered how foreigners traveling to Tunis would feel and if they would find their academic French was not the same as French in real life. The food would make them feel out of place. He smiled to himself, thinking about how hot the peppers were in Tunisian dishes, and how his mother had to avoid using them and cook western-style food every time they had foreign visitors.

Just then, a girl came over and asked, “Are you Professor Ammar’s son? ” He nodded, excited to talk to someone but hoping she didn’t notice what had happened. “I’m Luisa.” the girl said, “Don’t feel bad about your English — you’ll get better at it. I’m from Spain. The first time I tried to order a salad here, I ended up with a plate of pig’s feet!” Mohamed breathed a sigh of relief and realized that he wasn’t the only one struggling to communicate.

【1】What did Mohamed plan to order?

A．Soda and bread.

B．Peppers and pizza.

C．Ice cream and cookie.

D．Pig’s feet and salad.

27、Are you frightened of clowns (小丑)? You are not alone. Coulrophobia, or the fear of clowns, is a widely recognized phenomenon. We set out to discover the reasons people are frightened by clowns, and to understand the psychology (心理) behind this. To do this, we designed a question form to look at how many people suffer from coulomphobia and how much they are afraid of it. The test was completed by a group of 987 people aged between 18 and 77.

More than half the volunteers (53.5%) said they were frightened of clowns at least to some degree, with 5% saying they were “extremely afraid” of them. We also discovered coulrophobia drops with age. Interestingly, we found the final explanation, of having had a fearful personal experience with a clown, had the lowest level of agreement. This shows that life experience alone is not a satisfying explanation for why people are afraid of them.

In contrast, negative (消极的) description of clowns in popular culture was a much stronger contributing factor towards coulrophobia. This is understandable because most famous clowns in books and films are designed to be terrible — such as Pennywise, the creepy (毛骨悚然的) clown from Stephen King’s 1986 novel It.

In fact the strongest factor we identified was hidden emotional signs suggesting that for many people, a fear of clowns comes from not being able to see their facial expressions due to their make-up. We cannot see their “true” faces and cannot understand their emotional purpose. So, for example, we don’t know whether they have a frown (皱眉) or a furrowed brow (眉头紧锁), which would show anger. Not being able to be aware of what a clown is thinking or what they might do next makes some of us on edge when we are around them.

【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．The result of Coulrophobia test.

B．A drop in Coulrophobia.

C．Explanations of Coulrophobia.

D．Reactions from volunteers.

【2】What is a clown like in popular culture?

A．Silly.

B．Funny.

C．Understanding.

D．Horrible.

【3】What does the underlined word “on edge” mean in paragraph 4?

A．Angry.

B．Interested.

C．Nervous.

D．Proud.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．A clown’s makeup can be uneasy

B．This is why we’re afraid of clowns

C．Coulrophobia is no laughing matter

D．This is how coulrophobia comes about

28、About six years ago I was going through a tough time, trying to work two jobs to afford my rent. On a cold Sunday morning, I went to GameStop - a video game retailer（零售商）, to cancel the game I'd reserved. A woman in a car parked outside called me when I exited the store. Though it was in broad daylight, I was shy about it and kept some distance when I walked over. She said she couldn't walk and requested me to purchase a Kinect, a popular game, for her as her son's Christmas gift. Because of her leg disease it was painful to her to move around. She called ahead but the employee wasn't willing to help. She gave me about＄100 in cash and her credit card.

I walked back in and bought the Kinect. Then it occurred to me that this woman, a complete stranger, trusted me. What was it that stopped me from lying about the payment method and just pocket her cash？She couldn't know I wasn't a cheat; and how could she possibly believe in someone so much？

I handed her the cash back, explaining I had to pay with her card - it was above ＄100 at the time, and handed over the game and her credit card. "This is what my son's been longing for. Thank you! By the way, just from glancing at you, I know you are the one who will be a friend to someone in need. You have a face of an angel!" she said. She gave me ＄10 and refused to take it back. Then she drove away, saying "Merry Christmas!"

She had no idea how much of a difference even ＄10 made. I was able to buy a few cheap groceries for the week and it really made a hard time in my life a little better. She may think I helped her; however, I truly feel like the one who was being gifted something amazing.
