Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. The following are six cultural differences between China and the US to help promote mutual understanding.

Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. They talk about topics such as ages, income or marital status, which Americans think is annoying and disturbing.

Family

In China, elders are traditionally treated with great respect while the young are cared for. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.

Friends

Chinese people have different meanings to define friends. Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends who feel it deeply necessary to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.

Money

As is well known,the Chinese like to save. They are always conservative when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the US, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts（对应面）

Education111]

Chinese people value education and career more than Americans, who in turn put more emphasis on good character and faith.

Team VS Individual

Basically China values the community and the US values the individual. If you achieve something in the US, it’s because you are great. While in China, if you achieve something it’s because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do gets attributed to the greater whole, while in America individual merits （功绩）are celebrated.

21. Which is the most appropriate word to show the first cultural difference ?

A. Privacy       B. Income      C. Age      D. Marriage

22. Which is true according to the passage?111]

A. American parents seldom live with their children.

B. There is no friendship between American people drinking together.

C. Chinese people are usually generous with money to spend.

D. Americans value good character and faith in terms of education.

23. Which one is similar to the underlined phrase?

A. is attached to     B. brings in        C. is promoted to       D. results in

    People used to say, “The hand that rocks (摇) the cradle (摇篮) rules the world.” and “Behind every successful man there is a woman.”

    Both these sayings mean the same thing. Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them.

    Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men.

    The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who didn’t want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.

    A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence in herself. If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.” she will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby!”

    This movement is quite new, and many American women don’t agree yet. But it has already made some important changes in women’s lives--- in men’s lives, too.

57. Which of the following is NOT true?

   A. Some American women want to work side by side with men and get the same pay for

     the same work.

   B. Most American women want to be more successful than men.

   C. Not every American woman wants to get a job.

   D. The American women’s liberation movement did make some changes in women’s lives.

58. “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go” means ______.

   A. I’m still going to work farther away from home

   B. I’m not going to work far away from home

   C. I’m not satisfied with what I’ve done

   D. What I have done is not far from success

59. The American women’s liberation movement ________.

   A. have still a long way to go          

B. is a failure

   C. was started by many successful women   

D. is a new thing not accepted by the writer

    I’m Li Hua, a student of Yucai Middle School.                                                                            

I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.

What I   36   most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we   37   ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to   38   his family as cold. When we got into the   39   to go home, his father suddenly appeared.   40   , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he is a caring man through the glass.

I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often  41   me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant   42  or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his   43  me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his   44   morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I   45   him.

When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt   46  . For example, I always return phone calls   47   and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the   48   : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger   49    as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I  50   and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was 51   at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be  52  . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.

Far too often, I ignored their  53   expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my  54   .Over the years, however, I’ve learned to   55    other persons’ love signs.
