Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at bed and breakfast houses, because th
2、is kind of accommodation gives foreign visitors a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. We didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses they said, because we found that most families were away on holiday. I thought this
3、was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought VACANCIES meant holidays, because the Spanish word for holidays is vacaciones. So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said VACANCIES, which in English means there are free rooms. Then
4、my friends went to houses where the sign said NO VACANCIES , because they thought this meant the people who owned the houses were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels! We laughed at this and about the mistakes my friends made in read
5、ing other signs. In Spanish, the word DIVERSION means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word DIVERSION on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.Engli
6、sh people also haveproblems when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said Thank you in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that Thank you in French means No, thank

If you are invited to a wedding, baby shower or other celebrations, you will be expected to bring a gift. Unless you know the host very well, the gift should be modest in value, abo
10、ut $ 25 or so. For a wedding, the bride will have registered (登记) at one or two local department stores, indicating the items she prefers. You can buy the couple a gift that isnt listed, but most people buy something listed on the registry (记录簿). If you buy an item listed on the registry, be sure to
11、 tell the store that you are doing this, so that the couple doesnt receive duplicate (重复的)gifts. For a baby shower, bring a gift appropriate for a new born baby. If you wish to give a gift when you leave to return to your country, the best gift is something unique to your country. It does not need t
12、o be especially valuable or rare. Possibilities include a book about your country, an inexpensive piece of handicraft (手工艺品), or art, or something else that reflects your culture. If the children collect coins and stamps, they would be very pleased with a set of your country, coins or a selection of
13、 stamps from your country. If you owe a debt of deep gratitude to an American host family, a common way of repaying it is to take the family to a form of entertainment, such as a baseball, basketball, or a goodrestaurant. Gift giving is not as important in America as it is in other countries, so the

They can eat different foods and live in different types of houses. People probably speak different languages and have beliefs and customs very different from yours. Howe
18、ver, they can also be similar in ways of connecting with each other. We sometimes call these means of communication universal languages. Some legends hold that, thousands of years ago, there was a single language spoken by everyone on Earth. It is fun to think about a time when everyone may have bee
19、n able to communicate in the same language though historical evidence does not support this, of course. Today, there are thousands of languages spoken around the world. Yet, there are some means of communication that go beyond words and allow people of wildly different backgrounds to communicate and
20、 share emotions and feelings. For example, some people believe music is a universal language. There may be some scientific support for this idea, too. Experts have learnt that, across cultures, people can recognise three common emotions in music: happiness, sadness and fear. So what other types of u
21、niversal languages might there be? Some people believe dance is a universal language. Along with music, dancing seems to be a common interest shared by people all over the world. Do you think you could see a dance from another culture and make some reasonable guesses about the ideas and emotions beh
22、ind it? We bet you could! Another universal language that you might not have thought of is math! If you think about it now, though, it just makes sense. The value of pi is roughly 3.14159 no matter where you are on Earth, likewise, figuring out the value of something involves the same mathematical c

Drama in educationthe use of embodied make-believe has proved to be a highly effective teaching and learning tool, from ancient Greek times to the present day. Tell me and I will forget, the Confucian proverb goes. Show me and I will remember. Invol
27、ve me and I will understand. However, the status of drama on the curriculum (课程) at primary and post-primary level in Ireland has been in dispute for some years. Drama is an art form and also a powerful pedagogical (教育学的) tool. Yet its frequent use has made it difficult to define exactly what drama
28、in education means in a working classroom. At primary level, drama is a good way of learning feelings, knowledge and ideas, and in examining relationships, which would help students understand the world. The primary teacher should try to improve the childs ability of make-believe and use it into oth
29、er areas of knowledge. So creating drama is more important performance, exploring life through the creation of fiction rather than developing a piece of work for performance. The results include the development of social, personal and drama skills. The way in which the child acquires knowledge throu
30、gh drama is as important as the knowledge itself. Dympna Byrne, a primary teacher, uses drama in every subject she teaches. A lot of the focus in primary education is to encourage children to be active in their own learning, and drama is a brilliant tool for that, she says. Byrne says the benefits o
31、f drama as a teaching tool can be easily found in subjects such as English (it helps with writing) or history (it can bring old things to life), but it is the way in which this type of learning emerges (呈现) that is most important. Through competitions and performances, we can make the students inter
32、ested in drama outside the classroom, because what really excites students about drama is that it is fun, she says.1.The author of the passage uses the proverb to show that _.A.drama originated from ancient timesB.drama is difficult to understandC.drama is beneficial to studentsD.drama does harm to
33、pupils2.In which way will drama benefit the students?A.Make them more humorous.B.Help them have many more ideas.C.Let them experience many kinds of feelings.D.Show them what the world is like.3.According to Byrne, what is most important in learning?A.How the students learn knowledge.B.What knowledge

In the workplace, listening, communicating, working together and manners are important interpersonal skills
36、. An employee who falls short of any of these soft skills must work consciously to strengthen and develop them. _ Listen up. Active listening is a skill that must be learned and practiced._ The active listener provides feedback by focusing their full attention on the speaker and responding with verb
37、al and non-verbal clues that the speakers message is heard and understood. Avoid failure to communicate. Simply talking to people does not guarantee that your message is getting across. Common barriers to communication are lack of verbal clues, cultural differences, lack of interest, distractions, a
38、nd unfamiliar expressions. Expect such barriers and deal with them. Learn to think before you speak, and express yourself clearly and carefully._ Get it together. Working together is the key to working effectively,_ Create such an environment, rather than competition, and respect the opinions of oth
39、ers. Praise and thank co-workers for their contributions and treat all suggestions and opinions with respect._ The basics of these interpersonal skills are the rules of politeness and good manners. Respecting other cultures can strengthen a relationship. Be aware of what is happening in your co-work
40、ers lives and care for them. Stay cheerful and positive in the office.A.Mind your manners.B.Stay positive to infect others.C.Working successfully with others can make a career.D.It can avoid letting the speakers message disappear.E.Practice smiling in front of the mirror until you feel confident.F.O

54、ons (情绪) get the better of him. His parents were not quite able to keep theirs under control. They had driven their son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and studying. It was time to say goodbye for now at least. The family hugged and smiled through misty eyes
55、 and then laughed. The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder, and flashed a bright smile. I guess this is it, he said. Ill see you back home in a month, okay?
