The host pays the bill

I had just arrived in this Asian country for a one-year teaching position. One day, I took a subway to visit some ancient palaces and temples in the downtown. What happened to me next on the subway has taught me much about culture difference.
Since all the seats were taken, I stood. Suddenly, I felt someone pulling on my bag. Assuming I probably was in someone’s way, I moved over slightly. But in one quick motion, I felt my bag removed from my back, and in a flash, it was gone. I turned around to see who the thief was. I looked at the people standing behind me, but didn’t see my bag or anyone suspicious. My heart began to beat wildly and I began to panic.
I looked around, only to find directly across from me was an elderly lady, and sitting on her lap was my bag. I tried to get it back from her lap. But as I began to pull it up, she quickly took it back and held onto it. I looked around at the people standing beside me, and those sitting beside her, but no one took any notice of the situation. Trying not to cause a scene, I tried to negotiate through gestures. I used my hands as much as I could, but she ignored my requests for my bag and pointed to my back. She picked up my bag, showing how heavy it was. I finally began to understand. She was holding my bag to help me.
At the next stop, a middle-aged woman got on the crowded subway. Another elderly woman sitting down took her bag, setting it on her lap. They didn’t talk; yet this older woman was more than pleased to sit with this stranger’s bag on her lap throughout her journey.
As the subway pulled into the main downtown station and I was getting ready to
get off, the woman gently handed me back my bag. But before I had a chance to thank her, she had disappeared into the crowd.

A．The middle-aged woman and the elderly woman were good friends.
B．The passengers on the subway were very unfriendly.
C．Helping standing passengers with heavy bags was common on local subways. D．There were many thieves on the subway.
7．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To warn us of the potential risks in travelling abroad.B．To tell us a culture difference.
C．To recommend a travel destination.D．To give us some tips on taking a subway.

Imagine walking through an ancient city, then climbing a gate tower to take in a wonderful view of the city and its more than 600-year-old walls. You can hear the city’s heartbeat in the air. This is the Ancient City of Pingyao in Shanxi Province, a place that is most likely to be on your travel plan if you enjoy history or ancient architecture since its history can go back to more than 2,700 years ago.
Situated in the center of Shanxi Province, Pingyao is the hometown of Jin businessmen. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the city’s agriculture and manufacturing (制造)industries developed rapidly. Following China’s reform and opening-up in the 1980s, Pingyao struggled with the change from a
managed economy to the market-oriented economy(市场经济). During this time, the city government identified new ways to break through this economic bottleneck.
Finally in the winter of 1997, chances came knocking. Through the efforts of the city government, Pingyao earned its place on the UNESCO World Heritage list, which caused the entire world to take notice of the city.
Since the city’s fame has risen, locals in Pingyao have deepened their understanding of the efforts preserving the historical relics in their hometown. Meanwhile the city government has continued to upgrade itself
through a proposal that follows the centre of “entrepreneurship (创业), development and protection”.
Recently, the city is focused on establishing a sustainable (可持续发展) industry that will enable it to continue to grow while also protecting its relics and introducing them to the world.
8. What made Pingyao popular with tourists?
A. Its view and fresh air.
B. Its history and architecture.
C. Its weather and traditions.
D. Its tourist attractions and people.
9. What does “chances came knocking” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The city's name was replaced.
B. The economy of Ping Yao was rising.
C. Ping Yao became known by the world.
D. The architecture was rebuilt in the city.
10. What measure is taken to further develop the city?
A. Preserving more historical relics.
B. Learning from other cities in the world.
C. Connecting economy with cultural protection.
D. Introducing more overseas industries to the city.
11. How is the text developed?
A. By giving examples.
B. By raising
questions.
C. By listing reasons.
D. By following time order.

The Polish take great pride in their culture.Our culture has many different customs and traditions.I will discuss three of these traditions and customs.
The Polish will say “Dziekuje” (“thank you”) only after receiving their change.What I mean by this is that when you are in Poland，you should wait to say “thank you” until after you have been given your change back.If you do not，you are telling cashiers (收银员) that they can “keep the change”.Often，people visiting Poland will feel that things are very expensive，until they learn that they are giving the store clerk permission to keep the money that would have been given back.
Polish people break “bread” with their families during their Christmas Eve meal.The Christmas Eve celebration starts with the breaking of the Oplatek，which is a thin piece of “bread”．In my family，the eldest in the family (my grandfather) takes the big Oplatek and breaks it into large pieces that he then hands down to each of his four children (my aunt，uncles，and father)．Then，these family members break their pieces into smaller sizes and pass them out to their own children.Once the last piece is passed down to the youngest，we say a prayer (祷告) and eat the piece of thin bread.
Polish people celebrate “Imieniny”,or Name’s Day.This day is more important than one’s birthday.They often name their children after a saint (圣徒) whose day is closest to the date that they were born on.Then their saint’s day that they were named after becomes their “new” birthday.On Name’s Day，families and friends gather together and enjoy a variety of food，drinking，and dancing.
As you can see，Poland has a few very unique (独特的) traditions and customs.I honor my Polish culture and will pass it on to my own children because it is important to know one’s own culture.
12．In Poland，if you say “Dziekuje” before getting your change，___________ . A．the store clerk will keep it
B．the product will be changed
C．the store clerk will check the money
D．the product will be returned to the store
13．On Christmas Eve，the author will receive “bread” from ________ .
A．his grandfather B．his uncle
C．his aunt D．his father
14．A Polish person’s Imieniny is________ .
A．a day to visit families and friends
B．more important than Name’s Day
C．near to his or her birthday
D．a day to honor a saint
15．What does the author think of Polish traditions and customs?
A．He feels proud of them.
B．He shows no interest in them.
C．He is worried about them.
D．He considers them very funny.
