21、There is a large percentage of Asian people in the US. They’re hard working, respectful but strange sometimes. If you don’t understand the culture, you will get some problems with them. Asian people are different from any other cultures if you think you know them, you might want to think again.
How are they different? When it comes to most Asian culture, respect is everything. You can do anything you want but don't disrespect an Asian man. You will get some real consequences afterward and especially if he is your boss. It’s something called “face saving” in the Asian culture. It’s ridiculous sometimes but it’s their culture. Sometimes their culture can come in between their relationship at work. Asian people might expect a lot of respect from their co-workers when their co-workers just see them as an equal.
Americans are very different from Asian people. If you’re Asian, you might want to understand the American culture and even adapt to their culture if you work with them. It will be easier for you since you’re in their countries. Imagine an American working in China, expecting Chinese co-workers to get along with him when he criticizes them straight out on every single matter in front of everyone. I think they will take him outside and take care of him. It just doesn’t work that way with Asian people.
If you’re an American boss giving your Asian employee a review, you will see that they will have a problem with your negative remarks. They will think that you don’t like them, disrespectful, and want to get rid of them; when in fact, you’re just doing your job. Of course, it’s not fair for you as an American boss but just expect that it can be something that is on your Asian employee’s mind.
【1】The Americans can’t get along well with the Asians probably because______.
A. their cultures are different
B. they don’t like each other
C. both of them are too proud
D. they have different political views
【2】The underlined phrase “face saving” in Paragraph 2 probably means_____.
A. saving some money for later use
B. making faces to please your boss
C. showing some respect to somebody
D. helping somebody out of trouble
【3】 From the third paragraph we can know that it is difficult_________.
A. for the Asians to accept the culture in America
B. for the Americans to adapt to the culture in China
C. for people to learn the culture in a foreign country
D. for people to follow the culture in their own country
【4】The negative remarks an American boss gives on your work probably mean he/she ____________________.
A. doesn’t like you any longer

22、 As a child, Obaida Omar fled the enemy's invasion of her native Afghanistan, walking for weeks through the mountains.
"During the day we had to hide in the villages because of the bombing," said Omar, now a mother of three and Islamic Center of Rochester board member. "I walked on dead bodies. And up till today, it still troubles me a lot when I think back."
Omar, who moved to the U.S. around 13, provided first﹣hand experience last Saturday of what it means to be a child displaced by war as the keynote speaker at the "Dinner for Peace," hosted by the Student Association for the Development of Arab Cultural Awareness.
About 250 guests attended the dinner, the proceeds of which will go to education for children affected by the Middle Eastern refugee crisis.
"Children did not create this conflict, but they are its greatest victims," said Alanoud Alzaid,the group's president, who gave the opening address at the dinner.
Junior Deema Abdo, co﹣founder of the non﹣profit Education for a Peaceful Middle East, helped explain the impact this dinner would have in the context of the Syrian refugee crisis.
"Tonight we have raised roughly ﹩3,000 in profit, which means over 1,000 children can get the education they deserve," she said. "Without you, tonight would not have been possible."
The Yellow Jackets kicked the night off with a selection of lively songs, designed to entertain their audience.
The Sihir belly dancing group﹣an Arabic dance also performed, with pride and authority in their costumes of shining gold and bright coral colors.
"We've been planning this for two months now. It feels wonderful to see such an amazing turnout," said Alzaid. "It reminds me that there is still humanity in each and every one of us."
On the whole, the dinner was a success. The audience was also full of praise.
"It's putting faces to the things we always hear about," sophomore Gabby Stillman said. "It brings back that human element and makes you remember that we're all the same."

23、 When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder, she was alone on the island. The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn’t yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around. “Hello?” she called. “Celia? Marie?” There was no response.
The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it “Forgotten Island “because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didn’t know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends-her, Celia, and Marie. But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault.
“Come on, Lina,let Marie row the boat.” Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. That’s why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie’s side, as she always did. Lina exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.
A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina’s mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn’t become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill down her back.
Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie’s dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.
In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out. She smiled weakly at Marie’s dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn’t seem to mind becoming wet.
【1】What is special about the island?
A.It is very near the ocean.
B.It is a popular place for boating.
C.It is surrounded by thick forest.
D.It has never been reached by others.
【2】Why did Lina get angry?
A.Lina was left alone on the island.
B.Marie would not help row the boat.
C.Marie didn't know how to row the boat.
D.Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.
【3】What caused Lina to feel scared?
A.Her shame about the unnecessary argument.
B.The first raindrop of the approaching storm.
C.The idea that no one would come to save her.
D.The drop in temperature as the sun went down.
【4】What can we infer about the three girls?
A.All of them could swim well.
B.They had an adventurous spirit.
C.They lived far away from the island.
D.They quarreled with one another badly.
24、 What’s the deadliest animal? Trick question. Sure, the shark in Jaws is terrifying — but you’re way more likely to be killed by the animals you see every day. That’s according to a study published in February in the journal Wilderness & Environmental Medicine.
Don’t Sweat the Scary Stuff
The study looked at mortality data in the United States from 2008 to 2015 and compared the number of deaths caused by animals to a 2012 study that looked at the same elements in prior years. In this new study, researchers found a total of 1,610 animal-related deaths in the U.S., including deaths as a result of bites, contact, attack, or envenomation (venom injection). The majority of those deaths were related to nonvenomous animals, coming out to about 2.8 deaths per million people.
Surprisingly, most of the fatalities they found weren’t related to wild animal attacks: The largest proportion of animal deaths were caused by large mammals, especially horses and cattle. According to a press release, other studies have found that most of these deaths occur on the farm, and accidents with horses and cattle account for a whopping 90 percent of farm accidents.
The next largest group of animal-related fatalities were caused by a group called Hymenoptera, or hornets, wasps, and bees, accounting for just under 30 percent of the reported fatalities. According to the press release, “Africanized” honeybees, which are found most often in the southern and western U.S., can be particularly lethal when they swarm.
The third largest group? Man’s best friend: dog﹣related fatalities occurred at a rate of about 4.6 deaths per 10 million people. The study showed that young children are most vulnerable: The rate of children under age four killed by dogs was twice as high as the next most vulnerable age group, people older than 65, and four times as high as other age groups.
“The most common animal﹣related fatalities are from large mammals, like cattle or horses, but when you’re looking at attacks from wild animals only, the most common cause of death are due to venomous animals, like wasps or bees,” lead investigator Dr. Jared A. Forrester told CNN in an interview about the 2012 study. “I think people have in their mind that the most dangerous animals are cougars, bears or alligators, but a bee is more dangerous if a person is sensitive to its poisoning components.”
Protect Yourself
So how can you minimize your risk? Part of it may be due to your location and age group: the 2012 study found that people in the South experienced about 47 percent of all animal-related attacks in the U.S., Dr. Christopher Holstege, one of the authors, told CNN. In addition, infants and young children up to four years of age are most vulnerable, he said—especially when it comes to dog bites.
Researchers recommend more public health initiatives and awareness to help prevent farm fatalities. As for bees and hornets, it helps to be aware of your allergies, carry an EpiPen, and try to avoid provoking bees. As far as dogs go, your best bet is to not leave them alone with the very young or the very old.
But still, there isn’t too much reason to worry. “In many ways, the data is pretty reassuring,” Forrester told CNN. “The most common cause of death are not the scariest things, necessarily, but they are the most common interactions we have with farm animals and they are preventable.”

A.To attract readers’ attention and introduce the topic.
B.To explain to readers the danger of sharks.
C.To compare sharks with animals that are dangerous around our daily life.
D.To highlight the unnoticed danger of animals in everyday life.
【2】What’s the underlined word “venomous” mean?

【3】What can we learn from the article?
A.Bees are the most dangerous insects you may ever encounter.
B.People who are allergic to bees can hardly survive if they’re not treated immediately.
C.There is no worry about the danger of daily animals.
D.People in the South experienced nearly half of animal attacks in the U.S.
【4】What may be the best title of the article?
A.The deadliest animal in your life. B.The danger of small insects.
C.The ignored killers. D.New risk of being killed by small animals.
25、 There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the ____ that drama evolved from ritual( 宗教仪式). The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings ____ the natural forces of the world -even the seasonal changes-as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to ____ these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to ____ the desired results were then kept and repeated until they changed into ____ rituals. ____ stories arose which explained or masked the mysteries of the rituals. As times passed, some rituals were ____, but the stories, later called myths, continued to exist and provided material for art and drama.
