    Americans are obsessed (着迷的) with telling their life stories. This phenomenon isn’t simply the product of the technological world. 1. People are eager to tell stories and are fascinated by those of others. Even at preschool, “sharing time” is a common Monday-morning activity where the teenagers will sit in a circle and take turns telling a story about something they did over the weekend.

    2. In many Asian countries, talking about and drawing attention to oneself can be seen as socially inappropriate. People are often unwilling to share their life stories and do not encourage others to do so. But there are also times Asians do share their stories. 3. Asians believe that a person is largely decided by his or her social status and relationships, leaving little reason to broadcast detailed and revealing personal stories to establish a unique self.

    Ironically, the more unique Americans strive to be, the greater their need to feel connected with others. In their culture of individuality, relationships are highly mobile and can be easily formed or dissolved(破裂).

    Sharing personal stories brings them closer through the exchange of thoughts, feelings and desires. 4. But this motivation is not nearly as strong among Asians, for whom social relations are generally unconditional, obligatory(义不容辞的) and stable, and therefore require little maintenance(维护).

    5. American parents encourage children to share their stories and create opportunities to re-experience the past with children. Asian parents, by contrast, engage their children in telling personal stories less frequently. When they do talk about a child’s experiences, they are not particularly concerned with parent-child bonding but tend to focus on disciplining the child.

    A. They tend to focus more on outer facts than personal details.

    B. It helps them shape their “selves” and makes them who they are.

    C. Interestingly, this obsession is not necessarily shared in other cultures.

    D. Talking about personal stories is to cheer people on with positive feelings.

    E. It connects them like many different points, holding their society together.

    F. Sharing personal stories is also an essential part in everyday conversations.

    G. Parents in America and Asia differ in how they share memories with children.

    There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care .To water his flowers, he used two buckets(水桶) .One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old anddilapidatedone，which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.

    Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked (漏出) along the path.

    Sometimes the new bucket would say,“ See how capable I am ! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”

    And all that the old bucket could say was. “ I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best. I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”

    One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation .After watering the flowers as usual, he said , “You both have done your work very well .Now I am going to carry you back .I want you to look carefully along the path.”

    Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare（光秃秃的）earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.

    1.What was the old bucket ashamed of?

    A. His past. B. His aging.

    C. His manner. D. His leaking.

    2.What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?

    A. dirty B. dark

    C. worn-out D. ordinary-looking.

    3.The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to _________.

    A. take pity on the old one

    B. laugh at the old one

    C. show off its beautiful looks

    D. praise the gardener’s kindness

    4.Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?

    A. Because it was used to keep a balance

    B. Because it stayed in its best condition

    C. Because it had its own function

    D. Because it was taken as a treasure

    When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does.

    As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’ t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.

    When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.

    1.Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?

    A. He could not catch a fish.

    B. His father was not patient with him.

    C. His father did not teach him fishing.

    D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.

    2.According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.

    A. in deep water on sunny days

    B. in deep water on cloudy days

    C. in shallow water under sunlight

    D. in shallow water under waterside trees.

    3.After entering the business world, the author found _________.

    A. it easy to think like a customer

    B. his father’s fishing advice inspiring

    C. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable

    D. it difficult to sell services to poor people

    4.This passage most likely comes from _________.

    A. a fishing guide

    B. a popular sales book

    C. a novel on childhood

    D. a millionaire’s biography(自传）

    For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans. 1.Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today. Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.

    Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829. 2. He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business. This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention. After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.

    Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals. Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 3. When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners. These pants proved so popular

    that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.

    In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets (铆钉). This made the pants last a long time. Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent.4..

    By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion. 5.The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.

    A. As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.

    B. Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.

    C. He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.

    D. However, he did not get much business for those products.

    E. He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.

    F. Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.

    G. As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.

    Secret codes（密码）keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years.1.Code breaking never lags（落后）far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There are three main types of cryptography.2.For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 3.You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “135520135.”A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book.4.For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”5.However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.

    A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.

    B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.

    C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.

    D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.

    E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.

    F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.

    G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.
