26、My first week in the United States was a cultural shock. Everything felt new to me, including the style of conversation, the community I lived in and even the type of food people ate.
In our community back home, people eat mutton and chicken. Pork and beef are also common among other communities, but eating beef is taken as an illegal act. Unlike Nepal, eating beef is common in the West where most of the people follow religions other than Hinduism.
Food is just an example. When people move from one part of the world to another, they should adapt themselves to the new culture. For example, going to the bars or getting drunk is not acceptable in my community, but it is common in the US after a certain age.
I was raised in a traditional Hindu family in Nepal. We have a conservative opinion towards the marriage. Arranged marriages are common in which families decide whether the two should get married. Free love marriages are not allowed and are seldom seen. Same-sex marriage is also considered impossible.
To me, culture is a matter of habit. The culture is so deep-rooted in people's minds that most people are against changes. It is always easy for them to do what they have been doing throughout their life. It may be difficult for anyone to adapt to a new culture.
However, with travel being an unavoidable thing for modern people, one always conies across different cultures. In such cases, one should be respectful and adaptive to the culture other people follow. The world is always a better place to live in when we have spaces for people of all cultures.
【1】What does the Nepal law forbid people to eat?
A．Pork.
B．Beef.
C．Chicken.
D．Mutton.
【2】Which may be seen most in Nepal?
A．Open marriages.
B．Free love marriages.
C．Same-sex marriage.
D．Arranged marriages.
【3】What is the writer's attitude to different cultures?
A．Negative.
B．Respectful.
C．Conservative.
D．Indifferent.
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Most westerners believe in Hinduism.
B．Getting drunk in Nepal is acceptable.
C．Anyone can enter the bars in the US.
D．The writer came across a cultural shock.
27、Sam, I say to myself as I start across the bridge, you must stop these thoughts and start thinking about what to do now that you have lost your falcon, Frightful.
Life, my friend Ban do once said, is meeting problems and solving them whether you are an amoeba or a space traveller. I have a problem. I have to provide my younger sister Alice and myself with meat. Fish, nuts, and vegetables are good and necessary, but they don't provide enough fuel for the hard physical work we do. Although we have venison now, I can't always count on getting it. So far this year, our venison has been only road kill from in front of Mrs Strawberry's farm.
I decide to take the longest way home, down the flood plain of the West Branch of Delaware to Spillkill, my own name for a fast stream that cascades down the south face of the mountain range I'm on. I need time to think. Perhaps Alice and I should be like the early Eskimos. We should walk, camp and hunt, and when the seasons change, walk on to new food sources. But I love my tree and my mountaintop.
Another solution would be to become farmers, like the people of the Iroquois Confederacy who once lived here. They settled in villages and planted corm and squash, bush beans and berries. We already grow groundnuts in the damp soil and squash in the poor land. But the Iroquois also hunted game. I can't do that anymore.
I'm back where I started from.
Slowly I climb the Spillkill. As I hop from rock to rock beneath shady basswoods and hemlocks, I hear the cry of the red-tailed hawk who nests on the mountain crest. I am reminded of Frightful and my heart aches. I can almost hear her call my name, Cree, Cree, Cree, Car-ree.
Maybe I can get her back if I beg the man who is in charge of the peregrines at the university. “But it's the law,” he would say. I could write to the president of the United States and ask him to make an exception of Alice and me. That won't work. The president swore to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States when he took office.
I climb on. I must stop thinking about the impossible and solve the problem of what to do now. I must find a new way to provide for us. Frightful is going to be in good hands at the university, and she will have young.
I smile at the thought of little Frightfuls and lift my reluctant feet.
When I am far above the river, I take off my clothes and moccasins and bathe in a deep, clear pool until I am refreshed and thinking more clearly. Climbing up the bank, I dress and sit down. I breathe deeply of the mountain air and try to solve my problem more realistically.

29、Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don't know them as well their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends.
Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children's growing up, because friend can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.
However, parents often try to choose their children's friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of "choice" is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions: Who choose your friends? Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you? Have you got a good friend your parents don't like?

30、People often say that “failure is the mother of success”. This cliché might have some truth to it but it ________ tells us how to actually turn a loss into a win, says Emmanuel Manalo, a professor of educational psychology at Kyoto University in Japan. As a result, he says, “We know we shouldn’t give up when we fail - but ________ we do.”
Manalo and Manu Kapur, a professor of learning sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, put together a special issue of the journal Thinking Skills and Creativity last December on ________ failure. The issue’s 15 studies provide teachers and educational researchers with a guide for ________ success. One study reported, for example, that the sooner and more often students fail at a task such as building a robot, the sooner they can ________ and improve. Another confirmed that feedback on failures is most ________ when the giver comes across as caring, and the receiver is prepared to weather negative emotions.
Manalo and his co-authors also contributed their own study focused on overcoming one fundamental, everyday form of failure: not ________ a task. They asked 131 undergraduates to write an essay about their school experiences. Half of the students received ________for structuring their writing, and half were left to their own devices. All, however, were ________ before finishing. Afterward, the researchers found that those in the structured group were more motivated to complete their essays, compared with those who lacked guidance - even if the latter were ________ to being done. Knowing how to finish, ________, was more important than being close to finishing.
The researchers named this finding “the Hemingway effect” for the author’s self-reported ________ to stop writing only when he knew what would happen next in the story - so as to avoid writer’s block when he returned to the page. Manalo believes that leaning how to fail temporarily can help people avoid becoming ________ failures at many tasks, such as completing a dissertation, learning a language or inventing a new technology.
Demystifying failure and teaching students not to ________ it make goals more attainable, says Stephanie Couch, executive director of the Lemelson-MIT Program, a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and supporting inventors. Couch, whose work was also featured in the special issue, ________ that we “should really be thinking of failure as part of a process of iterating toward success.”
