Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of ac
27、commodation gives a foreign visitor 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 was str
28、ange. 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 house where the sign outside said “VACABCUES”, which in English means there are free rooms. The
29、n my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels! We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in read
30、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. En
31、glish people have problems too 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,
32、 thank you.” 56. My Spanish friends wanted advice about _.A. learning EnglishB. finding places to stay in EnglandC. driving their car on English roadsD. going to England by car57.

37、ier Reef.

44、p a relationship.Different cultures emphasize（强调）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in small talk, usua
45、lly over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries - like the UK or France - people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Th
46、ailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express mea
47、ning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think
48、that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural enviro
49、nment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.66.

Within Northern Europe, there are no such things as cultural differences.C. There is no way to overcome cultural differences.D. Different cultures have difference in relationshi
53、p building.D Forgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably dont think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University,
54、on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. Thats why Professor Fred Luskin, founder
55、 of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression(抑郁)
56、. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.So it doesnt matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if its worth hurting yoursel
57、f by staying angry with someone else. Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say its OK. Instead, its a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past. 71. The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear_.A. by raising his own examplesB. bas
58、ed on his own experienceC. by mentioning some studies D. by mentioning some typical patients72. The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to_.A. support the viewpoint that anger and hatred harm physical and mental healthB. introduce a famous expertC. let the reader know the

Im so glad to hear that you want to know the way we go to school. According to my
68、 survey, three in five make use of public transportation - 35% by bus and one quarter by subway. One fifth of us go to school by private car and the rest ride a bike or walk to school. As far as Im concerned, I prefer going to school on foot for many reasons. To begin with, my home is two kilometers away from school. It only takes me about 20 minutes to get there. Second, walking to school is a kind of exercise, which is good for my health. Moreover, compared with other means of transport, its much safer to go to school on foot. Therefore, I prefer to walk to school.
