A
The American book Who Moved My Cheese（奶酪）has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don’t be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.
Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.
The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This
means finding different dreams. The li ttle people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing：to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.

Just like the United States, Britain is divided into different regions and areas. Britain is one of the most diverse nations in Europe with over 250 different languages being spoken in London alone. With such a varied culture, adapting to it can be a challenge for anyone. Following these steps should help you on your way.
Forget the stereotypes. Many of the long formed stereotypes simply have nothing to do with Britain today. Giving up pre-held ideas of people and culture will allow you to be more open-minded and readily able to understand the culture you find yourself in.
Understand the differences. Britain is made up of different countries （England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales） and large quantities of different regions that all have their very own and very different traditions, dialects and even languages. Understanding the culture in a highland village is not the same as that in a southern English spa town will help you to avoid making mistakes.
Get used to small spaces. The US is not only a huge country but we are used to bigger cars, houses and spaces. Like all European nations, Britain does not have the luxury of space. Houses, apartments, cars and appliances are all small, so become familiar with small areas.
Go to the pub. The pub is a very important part of British culture and nothing will appeal to you more than a cup of beer. Students, work colleagues, friends and family all meet in the pub and it is used as a focal point （焦点） of social contact.
Accept the jokes. One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humor. Making fun of someone in Britain isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Teasing someone is a common way to show affection. As one Brit put it, “You never make fun of someone you don’t like him.”
66. What’s the main idea of the text？
A. Cultural differences in Britain.
B. The British way of humor.
C. How to adapt to British culture.
D. How to communicate with British people.
67. The underlined word “stereotypes” probably means _______.
A. different understanding of people and culture
B. correct understanding of people and culture
C. general information of people and culture
D. pre-held ideas of people and culture
68. When you are in Britain, it’s likely that you _______.
A. enjoy the luxury of space
B. live in a small house
C. drive a big car
D. live in a small house but drive a big car
69. We can infer from the text that _______.
A. there is no such thing as cultural differences in Britain
B. you can have a good understanding of British culture in a pub
C. British culture and American culture are quite similar
D. British culture remains unchanged over time
70. According to the last paragraph, if someone makes fun of you in Britain, it means _______.
A. he is a closer friend of you
B. he wants to make the atmosphere less tense
C. he doesn’t like you
D. you don’t understand British culture
