22、   My name is Jack. I’m a Chinese student living in the United States. When my family moved to America in 2016 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our bags, but also our village rules and culture. One of the rules is that young people should respect(尊敬) the elderly. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment(窘迫) in the United States.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. At one time, when I was serving food to an old couple(夫妇), the wife asked me how I could serve the food so quickly. I told her that I tried to get their food quickly because I respected the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and told me about how sensitive Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and said sorry to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that cultural differences caused the problem, so they laughed and were no longer angry.

In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to their seventies or eighties, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is too weak to work or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that respected the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they were not able to stay young. I told them something they didn’t want to hear.

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more, I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.

【1】After this experience in the Chinese restaurant, Jack ________.

A.no longer respected the elderly B.changed his way with older people

C.lost his job in the restaurant D.made friends with the couple

【2】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.

B.From this experience, Jack learnt more about American culture.

C.The manager went back to the table and said sorry to the couple.

D.Jack wanted to show his feeling through words after his experience.

【3】The word “sensitive” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________ ”.

A.respecting people deeply B.taking nothing seriously

C.getting upset easily D.treating others nicely

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To show that we should act differently with different people and culture.

B.To tell the readers that we should always follow rules of our hometown.

C.To introduce Americans and Chinese different ideas on “being old”.

D.To explain why most Americans don’t like to be called “old”.

23、

24、The label (标签), Made in China, is one that is becoming increasing common in shopping centers all over the world.

In the United States, shoppers at Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest retailer (零售商), have a wide selection (选择) of products mostly produced in China. The large amount of Chinese imports (进口) have created a large selection of goods in other countries as people begin to buy more and more products made in China. These goods are even widely available in other Asian nations, where Chinese-made goods are quite popular. Chinese brand names are also becoming more well-known outside China.

When Chinese Americans visit family and friends in their homeland, gifts from the U.S. are a must. But TVs and fashionable clothes aren’t rare any more, and anything ‘Made in China’ shouldn’t be considered in any case.

“When I decide to visit my family members in China, I will have a big headache. What should I buy for them? They may not all speak English, but everyone in China knows those three words,” a Chinese American said. “When they see the label ‘Made in China’, they will think, ‘Why do you send me this?’ ”

The development of China has surprised the world with its growth. As a result, the other countries are beginning to try to reduce Chinese goods with the use of taxes (税) and import restrictions (限制). However, the development on the Chinese economy (经济) still affects (影响) the world in many ways.

【1】Around the world, the products made in China are ________ in the shopping malls.

A．unwelcome

B．expensive

C．popular

D．cheap

【2】Why do Chinese Americans usually have a headache if they come back to China?

A．Because their Chinese friends can not speak English.

B．Because their friends will be unhappy if the gifts are made in China.

C．Because they should give their friends expensive gifts.

D．Because they should give their friends fashionable gifts.

【3】How do other countries try to reduce the Chinese goods in their own countries?

A．By developing the qualities of their own products.

B．By telling their shoppers not to buy Chinese goods.

C．By importing more Chinese goods.

D．By using taxes and import restrictions.

B．TVs and fashionable clothes are ideal gifts for Chinese people

25、Nanjing is in the south of China; it is the capital of Jiangsu Province. In the p【1】, Nanjing wasn't a comfortable place. It used to have narrow roads, low buildings and small markets. But during the recent years, it has c【2】 a lot. People there are walking on the w【3】 roads and living in tall buildings.
