Section Lesson 2 & Lesson 3Pre-reading原文呈现When I first arrived in San Francisco, I had a difficult time understanding certain aspects of the American way of doing things. Once I went to visit an American friend. After a splendid evening, I finished my cocoa and got ready to leave. As soon as we said goodbye, my friend went back to his room closing the door behind him. It made me feel that I was not really welcome.Jin LiIve always been outgoing but since an embarrassing experience in a New York restaurant Ive been much more cautious. I was enjoying my dessert and talking to my American friend Janice at the table when I noticed people staring at us. I asked Janice what was wrong and she told me that I was talking too loudly. She said that to some American people, it sounded like I was shouting. I whispered for the rest of the evening.Wang Lei读文清障have a difficult time doing sth.做某事很艰难have difficulty/trouble/problems (in) doing sth.做某事有困难aspect/spekt/n.方面once adv.一次；曾经，一度splendid/splendId/adj.极佳的，非常好的；壮观的cocoa/kk/n.可可饮料，可可粉as soon as“一就”，引导时间状语从句。closing the door behind him是现在分词短语作伴随状语。outgoing/atI/adj.友好的，乐于交友的cautious/ks/adj.小心翼翼的，谨慎的be cautious about对谨慎dessert/dIzt/n.(正餐最后的)甜食，甜点心desert n沙漠；v.抛弃stare/ste/vi.盯着看，凝视stare at凝视Sb. be doing sth. when .某人正在做某事，这时notice sb. doing sth.“注意到某人在做某事”，staring at us为现在分词作宾语补足语。whisper/wIsp/vi.低语，耳语whisper to sb.低声跟某人说话in a whisper in whispers低声地金丽：刚到旧金山时，有一段时间我很难理解美国人的某些处事方式。一次，我去拜访一位美国朋友。过了一个美好的夜晚后，我喝完可可饮料，准备离开。我们刚互致完再见，我的朋友转身回到房间就关上了门。这使我感到自己确实不是很受欢迎。王蕾：我一直是一个外向的人，但是自从在纽约的一家饭店有过一次尴尬的经历后，我就更小心了。我和我的美国朋友贾尼丝正在餐桌前边吃甜点边聊天，突然我发现人们在注视着我们。我问贾尼丝出什么事了，她告诉我说是因为我说话声音太大了。她说，在某些美国人看来，我说话的声音听起来就像在大喊。那天晚上其余的时间，我一直小声说话。What did I learn about Chinese customs from my exciting exchange to China? Well, the Chinese are extremely welcoming. One evening, I was invited to a Chinese family dinner. I had a good appetite and the food was yummy. But my host kept on putting more food in my rice bowl. They didnt seem to hear me saying “No，thank you” in my poor spoken Chinese. This was a very special experience I had in China.

The Chinese are the friendliest people I have ever met. After my visit to a Chinese family, my friends grandfather wouldnt let me go to the bus station alone. He insisted on walking me to the station to see me off. I kept saying that I knew the way myself, but it just did not work. What he did was amazing. This will not happen in many other cultures, I guess.TomChinese people are very modest too. Last time, when I visited China, we saw the tour guide wearing a very pretty fur coat on the day we left. I told her the coat suited her, but she looked very embarrassed, saying that it was a cheap one she had bought a long time ago. I was surprised. In my culture, when people say nice things about us, we feel very happy and say thanks.Tinasimilar adj.类似的be similar to与相似be similar in在方面相似the last time起连词作用，引导时间状语从句。insist v坚持，坚决要求insist on doing sth.坚持做某事walk此处为及物动词，表示“陪走”。see . off给(某人)送行work vi.起作用，奏效；产生效果what引导主语从句，在从句中作did的宾语。wearing是现在分词作宾语补足语。fur/f/n.毛皮，浓密的软毛we left是定语从句，修饰先行词the day。suit vt.适合(指合乎需要、口味、性格、条件、地位、气候等)现在分词短语作伴随状语；that从句作saying的宾语；she had .是定语从句，修饰a cheap one。汤姆：我上次访问中国时有相似的经历。中国人是我所见到的最友好的人。一天，我拜访了一个中国家庭离开时，朋友的祖父不让我独自去车站，他坚持陪我走到车站为我送行。我反复说我认识路，但那不起作用。他的所作所为真令人惊异。我想，这样的事在许多别的国家是不会发生的。蒂娜：中国人还很谦虚。上次访问中国时，离开那天，我们看到导游穿着一件非常漂亮的毛皮大衣。我对她说，这件外套她穿很合身。但她看上去很不好意思，解释说这件外套是她很早以前买的，而且很便宜。这真让我吃惊。在我们国家，当人们称赞我们时，我们会感到很高兴，而且会马上道谢的。PrereadingPlease match the words with their proper meanings.1mannersA动作；活动2request B方面3indicate C低语，耳语4modest D小心翼翼的，谨慎的5movement E极好的，壮观的6curiously F谦虚的，适度的7familiar G伤害8aspect H请求9splendid I凝视，盯着看10cautious J指挥；实施11stare K礼貌12whisper L指示，表明13injure M熟悉的，常见的14conduct N好奇地15_610_1114_答案：15KHLFA610NMBED1114ICGJLeadinDecide which of the following behaviors are polite (P) or impolite (I) at a western dinner party.1Use the fork with your right hand._I_2Put your napkin (餐巾) on your lap._P_3Start eating as soon as your food is served in front of you._I_4Ask for a second bowl of soup._I_5Use your fingers when eating chicken._P_6Finish eating everything on your plate._P_7Talk loudly while eating._I_8Make other people drink more spirits (烈酒) than they can take._I_WhilereadingFastreadingChoose the best answers according to the text.1Jin Li had a splendid evening, but she _.Awas not really welcomeBdidnt like her American friendCcouldnt understand her friends behaviourDwas unwilling to say goodbye2To some American people，Wang Leis behaviour at the table _.Asounded like he was quarrelling with his friendsBwas hard to understandCmade people interested in Chinese mannersDaimed to attract peoples attention3Martin thought Chinese people were _ from his experience of exchange to China.AmodestBhardworkingCbrave Dwelcoming4Why did Toms friends grandfather insist on walking him to the station to see him off?ABecause it was not safe for Tom to leave alone.BBecause Tom didnt know the way to the station.CBecause Tom didnt know which bus to take.DBecause it was a certain aspect of the Chinese way of doing things.5Tina would say “_” if her friend tells her that her dress is beautiful and suits her.AIts cheap.BThank you.CI bought it a long time ago.DYou make me embarrassed.答案：15CADDBCarefulreadingRead the text carefully and fill in the charts with the information in the text.SituationsRules for being polite in ChinaYour friend is going to leave your home.Say goodbye,1.walk the friend to the station, and 2.welcome him/her to visit you next time.Eat in a restaurant3.Talk happily and enjoy the food.4Keep_on putting more food in the guests bowl.You wear a beautiful dress and your friend says it is good on you.Be 5.shy and say it is cheap.SituationsIn American culture, people will .Jin Li was going to leave her friends home.Say goodbye，6.go_back to the room，and 7.close the door.Wang Lei ate in a restaurant.8.Whisper to each other.

In some countries, it is common for people to show affection (亲热) in public places. In the United States, for example, we often see couples hold hands, hug and kiss on the street, in the park, in the restaurant and even on trains and buses! But in some other countries, people never show affection in public places because their customs dont permit this. For example, in Korea (朝鲜) and China, customs usually dont permit people to show affection in public places. So, when Korean and Chinese people visit the United States, they sometimes feel very surprised when they see Americans hug and kiss on the street. In some countries, friends show physical affection to each other. In some South American countries, female friends walk arm in arm when they walk along the street together. In Italy and Russia, male friends often kiss each other on both cheeks when they greet. In most countries, men dont kiss or hug when they greet one another. They usually shake hands or pat each other on the back. People around the world are different in the amount, manner, and situation in which they touch each other.1. The main idea of this text is_.Athe customs in Korea and China are exactly the sameBKoreans and Americans can never understand each otherCSouth Americans are more friendly than North AmericansDdifferent countries permit different amounts of touching in public places解析：选D主旨大意题。本文主要谈论了不同国家在公共场合下不同的接触，体现了文化的不同。2Chinese and Korean people feel surprised when they see Americans hug and kiss on the street because _.Athey never hug or kiss themselvesBtheir own customs usually dont permit such conductCthey are politeDkissing each other is not allowed on the street解析：选B细节理解题。由原文中“.in Korea (朝鲜)and China, customs usually dont permit people to show affection in public places.”可知。3Which of the following is TRUE?AChinese people often kiss on the street.BIn all countries public affection is permitted.CIn many countries, men shake hands when they greet each other.DAmericans are not as polite as people in other countries.解析：选C细节判断题。由文中“In most countries, men dont kiss .on the back.”可知大部分国家的男士的见面问候方式以握手或互拍背部为主。4. Which of the following is NOT true?ASocial customs are different in different countries.BCustoms in the United States permit public affection.CCustoms in some countries dont allow people to show affection in public places.DWomen in South America never touch each other.解析：选D细节判断题。由原文知南美的女性朋友常常“walk arm in arm”。BThe British have been historically known for their stiff (僵硬的) upper lip and “blitz spirit” as shown during the German bombings of World War . This grinandbearit attitude in the face of adversity (逆境) or embarrassment lives on today.As a nation, the British tend not to appear terribly lively when they speak. This does not mean that they do not have strong emotions; merely that they do not choose to put them on public display. They generally dont show their feelings very openly, and, unless you know someone well, they may not appreciate it if you put your arm around their shoulder. Kissing is most often for family members in the privacy of home, rather than in public. Youll see that the British prefer to maintain a few feet of distance between themselves and the person to whom they are speaking. If you have insulted (冒犯) someone, their facial expression may not change.The British will not necessarily give you a tour of their home and, in fact, may keep most doors closed. They expect others to respect their privacy. This extends to not asking personal questions. The question “Where are you from？” may be viewed as an attempt to “place” the person on the social or class scale. Even close friends do not ask pointedly personal questions, particularly concerning ones financial situation or relationships.The British are a bit calmer in their body language and hand gestures while speaking. They are generally more distant than North and South Americans and Southern Europeans, and may not appear to be as open or friendly at the beginning. Friendships take longer to build; however, once established they tend to be deep and may last over time and distance.语篇解读：本文为说明文。英国人以矜持和情感不外露而出名，因此在跟他们交往时，也要注意尊重他们的隐私。5When you do something rude to the British, the will _.Afight backBgive a smileCremain calm Dlook at you angrily解析：选C细节理解题。由第二段“If you have insulted (冒犯) someone, their facial expression may not change.”可知，即使受到挑衅，英国人的面部表情也不会发生变化。6Which of the following is TRUE about the British?AThey use a lot of body language.BThey value their privacy greatly.CThey dont have strong emotions.DThey are not good at making friends.解析：选B细节理解题。由第三段“They expect others to respect their privacy.”可知，英国人很注重隐私。7What can be the best title for the text?AThe stiff upper lip of the BritishBPrivacy of the BritishCThe British attitude in adversityDThe British way of communication解析：选A标题归纳题。文章主要说明英国人的矜持和不动声色，因此用“英国人紧绷的上嘴唇”最能体现文章主题。CThe Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive a car and youll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas where they live.When you are on a bicycle, you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to catch sight of an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.There are many choices of hiring (租) a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章介绍了澳大利亚黄金海岸的旅游景点的一些相关信息。在这样一个明媚的地方，骑着自行车徜徉在海边是作者推崇备至的美事。8Youd better not drive a car on Gold Coast because _.Ayou will break the traffic rulesByou will cause much noiseCyou cant enjoy the beautiful sights wellDyou cant drive into some parks解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句可知，在澳大利亚有很多旅游景点。但是如果你开车去的话，可能会错过一些景点。9The following advantages of hiring bikes are mentioned EXCEPT that _.Ayou can take photos of animalsBit is a cheap way of travelingCyou can get a clearer sight of animalsDit is a good way to do sunbathing解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话可知，骑自行车游览和单纯的日光浴以及开车经过是完全不一样的经历，而D项把骑自行车等同于日光浴，是错误的，所以选择D项。10What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?AHow to hire bikes on Gold Coast.BWhat kinds of bikes there are in stores.CWhat kinds of bikes are the most popular.DWho can hire bikes on Gold Coast.解析：选B段落大意题。根据第四段第一句话可知，使用当地的自行车的方式有很多，其余三句话也都是围绕着自行车展开，所以本段介绍的是自行车的类型。11Whats the authors attitude towards a bike hire on Gold Coast?AHe supports it very much.BHe thinks its a personal choice.CHe doesnt like this way of traveling.DHe thinks its only good for adults.解析：选A推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话可知，作者极力推荐去旅游的人们要尝试骑自行车旅行。因而可判断出作者非常支持这一行为。.阅读七选五Time is the most valuable thing that mankind has. _1_ Many people try to manage their time.
