(A)
Roger, a young man fr om China, has taught Chinese in a primary school in England for 3 years. A lot of children like his class and he enjoys teaching them very much. All the pupils are quite interested in what Roger teaches them. They learn quickly and do everything carefully.
One day he said to the children, “People in a lot of Asian countries wear white clothes at funerals(葬礼), but people in America and in Europe wear white in the weddings because white means purity and happiness. What colour does an English woman wear when she gets married?”
Mary said, “White, sir, because she is happy.”“That is good, Mary,” Roger said. “You are quite right. She wears white because she is happy.”
But then one boy in the class put up his hand. “Yes, Dick?” Roger said, “Do you have a question?”“Yes,”Dick said. “Why do men wear black in our country when they get married, sir?”

(B)
An office meeting starts at 10 a.m.. Hans, a German, is already waiting at 9:55. Nathan, an American, arrives right at 10 o'clock. In the next five minutes a few others hurry in. But Raul, the visitor from Brazil, walks in at 10:30. He doesn't even think he's late. How different the understanding of time is around the world! Germans like arriving early. Americans plan to arrive just on time. Brazilians think it OK to be half an hour late.
In 1884, a clock in Greenwich, England, set the standard(标准的) time around the world, which is known as GMT(Greenwich Mean Time). But it couldn't standardize(使标准化) when people will arrive for a 10 a.m. meeting.
As people have different understanding of time, all cultures(文化) can be put into
one of the two groups: time-oriented(导向的) and event-oriented. Time goes first in time-orient cultures. In event-orient culture, what happens is more important than when. Such knowledge is important for today's world travelers.
Not understanding these different ideas about time can sometimes bring trouble. For example, American students often quickly exchange "how are you?" and "fine" as they rush to make class on time. But event-orient students see this exchange as impolite. Before they can say anything more than "fine", the American student has already hurried past them.
What can the world traveler do to avoid(避免) such time-related trouble? Follow the age-old rule: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
( ) 6. If the school starts at 8:30 a.m., what time does your German friend probably arrive?
A. Around 8:25 a.m.
B. Right at 8:30 a.m.
C. Around 9:00 a.m.
D. After 9:00 a.m.
( ) 7. Which of the following does not belong to the time-oriented culture?
A. People care about time more than anything else.
B. People don't really mind whether they are late.
C. People often hurry past you with short greetings.
D. Everything usually takes place at the planned time.
( ) 8. What does the underlined sentence "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." mean in this passage?
A. You should do everything as the Romans do when you go to Rome.
B. You should do what the Romans tell you to if you are in Rome.
C. You should know the time-idea of the local people and do as they do.
D. You should do everything as the local people do when you are in a new place. ( ) 9. Which of the following is true?
A. People from different cultures have the same idea about time.
B. It's quite usual for a time-oriented person to be late.
C. Different understandings of time never bring any trouble.
D. An event-oriented person may feel uncomfortable in the USA.
( ) 10. Which of the following is the best title?
A. Greenwich Mean Time
B. How to Avoid Time-related Trouble
C. Different Cultures, Different Understandings of Time
D. Time-oriented Culture
(C)
Your computer has been playing music for years, one CD at a time. Now hundreds of songs can be stored in your PC if they' re in the MP3 format (格式).
What is it?
MP3 compressed(压缩) music into small computer files. You may download MP3 music several ways: Music can be downloaded from websites that have turned wide music libraries i nto MP3. Once MP3 music is on your PC’s hard drive, you can play it through your computer's speakers, "burn" it onto blank CDs or swap(交换) MP3 files with friends using e -mail.
How much?
Software needed to play and turn MP3 music is often free. Compact portable MP3 players start at around $ 40 and can hold hundreds of songs. A blank CD on which you can record music costs about a dollar.
Advantages (优点)
MP3 turns your home PC into a jukebox(自动唱机) . Small MP3 players are the size
of a deck of cards(一副牌), making it easy to take hundreds of songs with you. Disadvantages
You may find that some websites only allow you to listen but you can't down load music. Others let you download music but can't be copied to MP3 players. And a growing number
of new CDs make it impossible to copy songs to a computer.
( ) 11. How can you get MP3 music?
A. By turning your home PC into a jukebox.
B. By taking your own music or songs with you.
C. By copying songs to a PC through the speakers.
D. By downloading from websites, which have turned music libraries into MP3. ( ) 12. What is the closest meaning of the underlined word "burn"?
A. Copy.
B. Play.
C. Store.
D. Change.
( ) 13. Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. MP3 music is often free.
B. MP3 music can be "burned" onto blank CDs or be swapped with friends by e -mail.
C. MP3 music can be taken along while traveling.

A. Free.
B. At least 10 dollars.
C. About forty dollars.
