Mike is a 16-year-old boy from England and he has studied in China for about 5 years. He finds that there
are a lot of differences between China and Britain. One cultural difference is that people do different things during
lunchtime. In China, people usually have longer lunch breaks than people in Britain. Therefore, Chinese people
usually use lunchtime to have a short nap (小睡). Office workers may just sit against their chairs, close their eyes
and cover their bodies with coats. Then they will have a short nap. Students at school usually come back to the
classroom after lunch and then they fall asleep with their heads on the desks. It seems that everyone in China
needs a short nap. Because they believe they will be energetic (精力充沛的) after napping. But in Britain, taking a
nap is quite uncommon.
They usually spend their lunchtime doing sports, going shopping or talking with friends. Because of the
short lunchtime, sometimes people in Britain just finish their lunch at their office desks.

3．Why do Chinese people need a short nap? (不超过10 个词)
【答案】1．For about 5 years. 2．They usually have a short nap. 3．Because they believe they will be

Last year, I went to a summer camp in Italy. Before going, I was worried about the customs—I didn’t want
to make mistakes. So I asked my Italian teacher for advice.
She told me that Italians are friendly, but there are some things to remember. For example, it’s polite to kiss
on both cheeks when meeting friends, but not for strangers. Also, you shouldn’t ask personal questions like “How
much money do you make?”
During the camp, I stayed with a host family. The first day, the mother cooked pasta for me. I wanted to say
it was delicious, so I said “Buonissimo!” (Very good). She smiled and gave me more food.
One evening, we went to a restaurant. I noticed that people didn’t rush to eat—they talked and laughed for
hours. I learned that Italians enjoy taking time to eat with family.
I also found that Italians love their culture. They are proud of their food, art, and history. When I asked
about famous paintings, the father talked for a long time and even took me to a local museum.
By the end of the camp, I had made many friends. I learned that as long as you are respectful and open
minded, you can get along with people from any culture.

“The taste of tea is soft, but it can reach far.” This special idea into Chinese tea culture comes from Ngoc, a
student from Vietnam. Now as a college student at Yunnan University, she has been in Kunming, Yunnan, for three
years.
During her time in China, Ngoc likes Chinese tea culture because of her strong interest in Chinese history
and culture. “I was trying to connect with Chinese society through observation (观察) and study to learn about
modern China,” she said.
As an agricultural country, Vietnam has been growing tea for more than 3,000 years. Drinking tea is a bigcustom in the country. Usually, Ngoc likes to drink tea while chatting with friends. Over the years, she gradually
learned the differences in tea culture between China and Vietnam. “People usually drink Pu’er tea in Yunnan, but
in Vietnam, dark tea and black tea are more popular,” she said. Ngoc also found that in China, people like to drink
tea in nice tea shops. But in Vietnam, people often just drink tea on the street. It’s quite casual (随意的).
For her, tasting a pot of good tea, just like tasting life, is both bitter (苦涩的) and sweet. “The tea tastes
bitter at first, but when the bitterness goes away, the sweetness comes. I also hope that my life is like tea, after the
bitter comes the sweet,” she said.
1．What is Ngoc according to the passage?
2．Why does Ngoc like Chinese tea culture?
3．How long has Vietnam been growing tea?
4．Where do people like to drink tea in China?
5．What does Ngoc hope?
【答案】1．She is a student from Vietnam. 2．Because of her strong interest in Chinese history and culture.
3．For more than 3,000 years. 4．In nice tea shops. 5．She hopes her life is like tea—bitter first, then
sweet.

阅读短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
An old saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” I learned its true meaning during my six-
month exchange study in Russia last year.
One day, I invited Chinese friends to a local restaurant in Moscow. Excited after visiting Red Square, we
chatted loudly to liven up the mood. But the waiter came over three times, asking us to speak softly. In China,
hosts usually create lively atmospheres at meals, but in Russia, people keep quiet in public eateries to show
politeness to others. That was my first taste of culture shock.
Later, more shocks followed: I often felt homesick for Chinese food, missing the spicy taste that was
nowhere to be found in Moscow; school life was different too—Russian classmates preferred independent study,
while we Chinese students liked group discussions.
These experiences taught me that cultural differences are part of life. Instead of feeling confused, we should
face them with an open mind. After all, understanding different cultures makes our world richer.
1．How long did the exchange study last?
2．Where did the writer invite his Chinese friends?
3．How many culture shocks did the writer meet during his exchange study?
4．Do you think it’s important to learn about different cultures? Why or why not? (Write 30words or more)
【答案】1．For six months./Six months./For 6 months./6 months./For half a year./Half a year./It lasted for six
months. 2．To a local restaurant in Moscow. 3．Three./3. 4．Yes, I think it’s important. Learning
about different cultures can help us get on well with others. Besides, it can avoid misunderstandings when
communicating with people from other countries. Finally, it also enriches our knowledge and makes the world
more connected.

根据短文回答问题。(不超过10个词)
In the eyes of many foreigners, the Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world. And
Western hosts sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests. It is because the guest-host relationship (关系)
in China is quite different from that in some western countries.
In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese friend’s home, there is always fruit on
the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a
god. Acting according to (根据) the host’s way of doing things is usual behaviour for a guest.
My wife’s mother, a very kind Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her
house, as a non-smoker I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be
a good host, she must not do that.
In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in
their houses. At the very least, you should ask “Is it OK if I smoke?” But don’t be surprised if they say, “No, you
can’t smoke.” In my culture, if you smoke in their houses, you are a bad guest, but if they don’t allow you tosmoke in their houses, they are not rude hosts.
In a word, no matter where you are, the best way to be a good guest is to adapt to (适应) the local customs.
Just as the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
1．To many foreigners, who are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world?
2．What is usual behaviour for a guest in the west?
3．How does the writer feel when he sees some guests smoking in his wife’s mother’s home?
4．If a guest wants to smoke in an American host’s home, what question should he ask?
5．What do you think is impolite for a guest to do? (Please write your own sentence to answer)
【答案】1．The Chinese. 2．Acting according to the host’s way. 3．He feels unhappy. 4．Is it OK
if I smoke? 5．Smoke in a non-smoking host’s home.
【导语】本文通过对比中西方对待客之道的差异，指出中国人待客热情如待“神”，而西方更强调客人
尊重主人习惯。作者提醒人们应入乡随俗，才能成为好客人。
1．根据第一段“In the eyes of many foreigners, the Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the
world.”可知，在许多外国人眼中，中国人是世界上最好的主人，也是世界上最差的客人。故填The
Chinese.
2．根据第二段“Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is usual behaviour for a guest.”可知，按照
主人的方式行事是客人通常的行为。故填Acting according to the host’s way.
3．根据第三段“My wife’s mother, a very kind Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests
smoking in her house, as a non-smoker I feel unhappy.” 可知，作者的岳母是一位非常善良的中国女士，她不
抽烟，所以当作者看到她的一些客人在她的房子里吸烟时，作为一个不吸烟的人，他感到不高兴。故填
He feels unhappy.
4．根据第四段“you should ask ‘Is it OK if I smoke?’”可知，如果客人想在美国主人家里抽烟，他应该询问
“我可以抽烟吗”。故填Is it OK if I smoke?
5．通读全文，本文通过对比中西方对待客之道的差异，指出中国人待客热情如待“神”，而西方更强调
客人尊重主人习惯。作者提醒人们应入乡随俗，才能成为好客人，则关于“你认为客人做什么是不礼貌
的”的这个问题的回答可表达为“在不吸烟的主人家吸烟(是不礼貌的)”。故填Smoke in a non-smokinghost’s home.
