In some countries, Teachers’ Day is celebrated on working days. However, in other countries, it is celebrated on holidays. Here we are giving you a list of countries that celebrate Teachers’ Day on holidays. China Teachers’ Day was proposed (提议) at National Central University in 1931.

B Every year on July 18, schoolchildren gather on Nelson Mandela’s doorstep to sing him “Happy birthday.” And every year, Mandela lights up with his famous, gentle smile and hugs each child, thanking him or her for the song. In 2008, Mandela enjoyed his 90th birthday at home in Qunu, South Africa. He received many gifts from around the world. But Mandela didn’t need a large celebration. He used this time to spread his messages of peace, freedom, equality and service. “There are many rich people in South Africa who can share their riches with the poor.” South Africans call Mandela “Madiba”. It’s an honorary title. South Africans love and respect Mandela because he helped bring the nation together after years of racism (种族主义) and segregation (种族隔离). Under South Africa’s laws, white people were separated from non-white people. Mandela fought hard to get rid of the laws and wanted South Africa to be a nation that treated all people equally. In 1944, Mandela co-founded the youth league of the African National Congress. It’s a group that fought for equality. In 1962, he went to prison. But he continued to fight for what he believed in and helped put an end to the unjust laws there. Mandela was freed from prison in 1990 and elected (选举) president in 1994. After serving a five-year term, Mandela stepped down as president. Across South Africa, organizations held celebrations in Mandela’s honor. In Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city, children gathered at the Nelson Mandela Foundation, which Mandela set up to help to realize social justice. The children enjoyed a very big birthday cake. ( ) 46. Why do children go to Mandela’s home on July 18 every year? A. To share Mandela’s big birthday cake. B. To see Mandela’s famous, gentle smile.

Age is a very sensitive (敏感的) subject for many Americans, especially women over age 30. The last question they want to be asked is “How old are you exactly?” Weight. This is one of the touchiest subjects. In America, it is desirable to be thin but it is a huge embarrassment to be overweight. Americans mind their weight very much. They don’t like to be asked about it------even if they are thin and in great shape. Income (收入). You should never ask how much others earn every month/year. However, it’s suitable to ask about their job titles or what they do for a living. This information will give you some ideas about how much they make a year. Matters of the Heart. Sometimes you’ll run into people who don’t want to pour their hearts out to you. The general rule is not to get too personal or too fast. Don’t make others think that you are looking into their lives. Therefore, try not to ask questions about someone’s love life, marriage and family until you have a deep friendship with the person. Is It Real? Many Americans stand for the all-natural look. But how many truly obey this rule? With products like colored contact lens (有色隐形眼镜), hair coloring, acrylic nails, etc, being seen, the answer would be: not many. Although the artificial (人造的) things appear to be real, they are not. So never say such words------“Hey, I love your eye color. Is it real?” All of the above are Americans’ taboo (禁忌的) subjects. It seems difficult to always keep away from conversation landmines (地雷). So, watch your steps and try not to open a can of worms. ( ) 51. What is the passage mainly about? A. Americans’ bad characters B. Americans’ common favorites C. Americans’ good habits D. Americans’ taboo subjects ( ) 52. According to the text, how can we have a general idea about an American’s income? A. By asking the person himself/herself. B. By asking the person’s workmates. C. By asking the person’s job title. D. By doing a survey secretly. ( ) 53. From the passage, we can know that ___________. A. American men don’t mind if we ask about their ages B. thin Americans don’t mind being asked about their weight C. rich Americans don’t mind when we ask them about their income D. Americans don’t mind being asked a personal question by close friends ( ) 54. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________. A. many Americans use artificial things to appear more beautiful B. using artificial things can make others think they are very rich C. Americans think that colored contact lens are very natural D. asking whether an American girl’s hair is real is suggested ( ) 55. What does the underlined phrase “watch your steps” probably mean in the passage? A. Walk slowly. B. Take care. C. Take it easy. D. Pay attention to your feet. 第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
