26、 Learning other languages, you discover how to say the same thing in many different ways. In English we say “goodnight”. In Hebrew people say ליילה טוב. In Vietnamese, people say “Chúc ngǔ ngon”, which means “have a delicious sleep”. When I think about the word “delicious” I think of pizza, chocolate and ice-cream. I don’t think about going to sleep. So depending on the language, different phrases will improve your creativity and force you to think about how to say things in a different way.
Studying a new language, you will notice that you have to lean a new sense of humour that comes along with the culture of that language. Sometimes, jokes that work in English won’t work in French or Japanese. But sometimes things that nobody would laugh in English work in Vietnamese. I learned this when I performed stand-up comedy in Vietnam. A lot of my non-Vietnamese speaking friends would ask me to translate the jokes for them, but when I translated back to English, no one laughed.
When you learn a new language you have to learn a lot of vocabulary, new grammar structures, idioms, and much more besides. Doing this, you have to learn memorization tactics (策略). These could be flashcards, using recall methods, or building a memory palace. Whatever tactic you use, it will strengthen your creativity.
Next time you meet someone who speaks several languages, before you think that they have something special going on in their brain, take a step back and think. Maybe they do. But maybe they’ve got that special thing because they’ve made the effort to learn several languages. And effort is something we can all give.
【1】Which has the closest meaning as“ליילה טוב”?
A.Goodbye. B.Delicious food. C.Have a nice day. D.Have a nice dream.
【2】Why did no one laugh after hearing the translation of the jokes?
A.The jokes were not funny at all.
B.The author was not a good comedian.
C.The audience couldn’t get the humor inside.
D.English was less humorous than Vietnamese.
【3】How does learning a new language improve creativity according to Paragraph 3?
A.It enables a memory palace.
B.It helps to build up a large vocabulary.
C.Different memorization tactics inspire creativity.
D.Different language structures strengthen creativity.
【4】What does the author think of learning a new language?
A.Gift matters. B.Effort counts. C.Think it twice. D.It depends on tactics.
27、Recently a growing number of foreign universities，such as the University of Cambridge，are accepting China’s gaokao results as one of their admission standards. Is the Chinese college entrance exam being recognized globally？Forum readers share their opinions：
Cecilia Zhang（China）
The gaokao is a really tough exam. If possible，it can be used as one of the indicators（指标）for foreign universities，in addition to other indicators，such as how well they speak the target language. The students，who perform well in the gaokao，also have the ability to successfully adapt to Western styles of education. I believe accepting the gaokao as an indicator is a win-win for Chinese students and overseas universities.
Wchao37（US）
In fact，gaokao is perhaps much more difficult than the SAT or ACT exams. You can get a perfect score of 1600 on the SAT but not in the gaokao，partly because the SAT is a machine-scored multiple-choice exam. Do you know anyone that has ever achieved a perfect score in the gaokao？
Harry01(UK)
Hundreds of students from China have entered universities in the UK using their gaokao scores, which requires that their knowledge of English be above a certain level. This measure has benefited specific groups of students from various backgrounds in China.
Mbursian (Canada)
In order to attend a university in an English-speaking country, a student needs to have an acceptable band score on the IELTS. Most importantly, students need an acceptable knowledge of the language spoken in any country they plan to study in. Now the Chinese gaokao is closer to meeting the requirements of different countries.
【1】Who believes accepting the Chinese gaokao is a win-win?
A．Cecilia Zhang.
B．Wchao37.
C．Harry01.
D．Mbursian.
【2】What is most important for Chinese students planning to study abroad?
A．The IELTS score.
B．Enough test preparation.
C．The Chinese gaokao score.
D．Knowledge of the native language.
【3】What does the text intend to tell the readers?
A．The gaokao will replace other tests.
B．The gaokao is becoming globally accepted.
C．The gaokao is the most difficult of all tests.
D．The University of Cambridge made a good decision.
28、The “babies” tend to be on or near me, or crying, or both. I spend a fair amount of time trying to get William to sleep, to get Elliott to get involved in something that will actually keep him happy for a little while, or to get William to play on the floor for 10 minutes straight so that I can get something done. But, a lot of days, it seems like I'm not succeeding in any of those efforts.
So, yesterday, a friend of mine posted a picture on Facebook. This particular friend has a baby who is about a month younger than William. The picture was of the baby, who had made his way across the floor to the toys housed along the side of the room. I just kept looking at that picture and thinking that if only William had some different toys to play with, perhaps he would stay occupied a bit longer at a stretch. But William seems so bored with all of his toys! And I am so ready for him to be ready to play. In order to find a way to make him playing longer, I kept looking at that picture. Suddenly, I realized my sons need to play closer to me.
So I cleared off the cubby(围起来的)shelves in the playroom, and my husband and I moved it to the living room. We found all of the toys that would be safe for William and put them in the cubbies. Then, we pulled the play kitchen in.
William was so interested in what I was doing that he sat there and played and chewed on his toys while we moved furniture. When we were done, I moved him over closer to the cubbies and he got so excited that he didn't disturb for an hour, while I made dinner and cleaned up! Even Elliott played happily for a few hours. It was a dream come true! And I got to know that my lack of happy children was because of my desire for a toy—free living room.
【1】The babies were unhappy and trapped the author because they_______.
A. fought with each other
B. were told not to play on the floor
C. were blamed for destroying property
D. were given a living room without a toy
【2】The underlined sentence “And I am so ready for him to be ready to play. ” means that ______.
A. the author is determined to keep her son playing longer
B. the author is willing to play with her son
C. the author is prepared to teach her son to play
D. the author is tired of her son's naughty behavior
【3】Why did the author move furniture and toys into the living room?
A. Because she wanted to sort out her house.
B. Because she wanted to throw the unnecessary items.
C. Because she wanted to have her sons closer to her.
D. Because she wanted to teach her sons to cook.
【4】What was the author's dream?
A. She could keep the living room tidy.
B. Her sons could learn to stand by themselves.
C. Her sons could be interested in what she was doing.
D. She could do what she desired without interruption.
29、Culture Shock
Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings(of surprise,uncertainty,confusion,etc.)felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment,such as a foreign country.
Generally speaking,we could say that there are four stages of culture shock.The first stage is called“the honeymoon”【1】And everything seems to be wonderful and everybody seems to be so nice to you.
The next stage is“the hostility stage(排斥期)”.In this stage,you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was.【2】Moreover,people don't treat you like a guest anymore.
Then you come to the third stage called“recovery”.In this stage,you start to feel more positive.【3】The whole situation starts to become more pleasant.Now you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.
The last stage of culture shock is called“adjustment".【4】You have learned enough about the new culture.The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand.Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable.
Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.【5】It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another.
A.You should communicate with people more often.
B.And you try to learn everything you don't understand.
C.You become tired of many things about the new culture.
D.Friends should help each other to deal with culture shock.
E.In addition,culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitors.
