In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn't much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don't want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.
So they move out of the cities. Some don't go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities. Other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don't make so much money and there isn't much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren't always very friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights," they say.
26. Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China?
A．The countryside is much poorer than the city.
B．People in the countryside have nothing to eat.
C．People in the countryside don't have much work to do there.
D．Services in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside.
27. Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside?
A．Because they will find good jobs.
B．Because they are tired of living in the city.
C．Because they can make more money there.
D．Because they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields.
28. After moving to the countryside, some people in Europe feel unhappy because
___________
A．they can't make much money
B．there isn't much work for them to do in the countryside
C．some people in the countryside aren't always very friendly to them
D．A, B and C
29. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows __________
A．they are happy to move back to the city
B．they miss their friends in the countryside
C．they still want to move to the countryside
D．they are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city
30. The best title of this passage may be “__________”
A．A happy life! B．Living in the city!
C．Moving out or moving back ? D．Living in the countryside!
C
We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.
Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like "he went pale and begin to tremble" suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, "he opened his eyes wide" is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it me ans surprise. In Chinese "surprise" can be described in a phrase like 'they stretched out their tongues!' Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.
Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people's faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.
31. According to the passage, __________.
A. we can hardly understand what people's gestures mean
B. we can not often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in
words or gestures
C. words can be better understood by older people
D. gestures can be understood by most of the people while words can not
32. People's facial expressions may be misunderstood because __________.
A. people of different ages may have different understanding
B. people have different cultures
C. people of different sex may understand a gesture in a different way
D. people of different countries speak different languages
33. In the same culture, __________.
A. people have different ability to understand and express feelings
B. people have the same understanding of something
C. people never fail to understand each other
D. people are equally intelligent
34. From this passage, we can conclude __________.
A. words are used as frequently as gestures
B. words are often found difficult to understand
C. words and gestures are both used in expressing feelings
D. gestures are more efficiently used than words
35. The best title for this passage may be __________.
A. Words and Feelings
B. Words, Gestures and Feelings
C. Gestures and Feelings
D. Culture and Understanding

Nowadays, with the growing popularity of computers, teachers, students and their parents is playing less and less attention to handwriting. According to the recent survey, about 85.5 percent of middle school students think that their handwriting is poor. Yet for various reason, many students don’t want to improve our handwriting.
51.5 percent of the students think there is no need to waste time improve their handwriting, and 32.8 percent believe that they are busy with the study that they do not have time to practice. 10.9 percent think that practicing handwriting is useless. As the saying goes, that handwriting shows the man. Beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial, especial for middle school students. Therefore, in my opinion, much emphasis should be placed in this aspect in the future.
