When you hear Westerners（西方人）say “ Drop in anytime”（随时来玩）or “Come and see me soon” , you should realize that it doesn’t mean you are welcome to come over to their house anytime. It’s wise to telephone before visiting someone.
Never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I may not be able to come.” If you are unable to come after accepting the invitation, be sure to tell those who invite you in advance（提前）that you will not be there.
When you have accepted the invitation to a party or a dinner, it is polite to bring small gifts with you, such as bottles of drink, flowers and chocolate. Sometimes Westerners may take you out to dinner in a restaurant and it does not necessarily mean that he is going to pay the bill at the end of the meal. He might want you to “go Dutch”, which means each person pays his own bill.

解析试题分析：这篇短文主要介绍了西方人的邀请文化。在西方如果主人邀请你随时来玩也要在拜访前打电话通知，在面对邀请时，确定能参加的就可以答应，如果没有计划去，就要委婉的拒绝。在去参加聚会时最好带个小礼物，如果到餐馆吃饭那可不意味着邀请者会付钱，他们可能想AA制。

【小题2】细节理解题。根据第一段you should realize that it doesn’t mean you are welcome to come over to their house anytime. It’s wise to telephone before visiting someone.描述，可知当人们说随时来玩时，你应该知道那不意味着你能随时拜访他们的家，在拜访之前最好打电话。故选B。
【小题3】细节理解题。根据第二段Never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I may not be able to come描述，除非你真的计划去否则不要接受邀请。你可以通过说谢谢邀请，但是我可能不能来表示拒绝。故选A。

Are you a gourmand(美食主义者)? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program?“A Bite of China(舌尖上的中国)” is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by Chinese central television. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:
Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures, and China is no exception(例外). The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new. After a baby is born, parents may hold a "red egg and ginger party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child, for example, an even number(1,3,5,---) for a girl, and an odd number(2,4,6---) if a boy has been born.
Noodles are a symbol of longlife in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last, pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan.
The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements(元素),such as eating habits and the quality of eating.
【小题1】A bite of China is _______________.
| A．a book | B．a documentary |
| C．a guide book | D．a newspaper |
| A．two | B．three |
| C．four | D．five |
| A．two eggs | B．none |
| C．three eggs | D．six eggs |
| A．We can cut birthday noodles off in China if we think they are too long. |
| B．It is impolite to server a whole fish last at a party in China. |
| C．The program lasts for one hour. |
| D．There are many kinds of Zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival. |
| A．The writer thinks the program is too long. |
| B．The writer thinks the program has more meanings inside than the story itself. |
| C．The writer thinks everyone can have a good eating habit after watching the program. |
| D．The writer thinks the program has brought many kinds of delicious food to us. |

We may know that there are four basic periods(时期) for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country. This process helps you deal with culture shock（冲击）.
Culture shock begins with the "honeymoon period". This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new cu1ture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy.
Unluckily, the second period can be more difficu1t. After you have got used to your new life, you can become very tired and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. Al1 the little prob1ems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly.
The third period is called the "adjustment period". This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by 1earning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor.
The fourth period can be cal1ed "at ease at last". Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have prob1ems with language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland.
