cup surprised different stop but smoke feel have gift tell country
In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese people are the best hosts and the worst guests. And Western hosts
sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests too. That’s because the guest-host relationship in
China is ____1____ from that in some Western countries.

not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are non-smokers, you should notsmoke in their house. At the very least, you should ask, “Is it OK if I smoke here?” But, don’t be ____6____ if
they say, “No, you can’t smoke here,” In our culture, if you smoke in the host’s house, you are a bad guest. But if
the hosts don’t allow you ____7____ in their house, it doesn’t mean they are rude hosts.
Guests in China also ____8____ special habits. Some Western people may not adapt to (适应) these habits
very soon. Thankfully, my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family, she ____9____ me to buy the
host a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my _____10_____. So, if you invite
international guests to your house, don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a(n) _____11_____.
In a word, no matter where you are, the best way to be a good guest is to adapt to the habits of your hosts.

Holmes said, ”Somebody sent a letter with five pips (桔核) in it from India, and arrived seven weeks later to
kill John’s uncle. Then they sent five pips from Scotland and arrived three days later to kill John’s father. Now
they have sent five pips to John from London!”
“The letters are all from sea ports. The writer was on a ship when he wrote the letters,” I replied.
‘‘Very good, Watson! And John’s enemy is in London already!”
“Well, I hope they won’t kill young John,” I said.
But they did. The next morning, we read in the newspaper that a policeman found him die near Waterloo
Station. Holmes was very angry about it.
“He came to me for help and those men murdered him! I’m going to find them, if it’s the last thing I do!” he
said to me, and he hurried out of the house.
At night, when he came back, he was tired, but pleased. He said, “I know the names of John’s enemies! And
now I’m going to send them a surprise! This will frighten them!” He took five pips from an orange put them in an
envelope. On it he wrote “S. H. for J. C.”
“I’m sending the pips to captain James Calhoun. His ship is called the Star. He and his men are sailing back
to Georgia, USA.”
“ How did you find him, Holmes?” I asked.
“Ship’s papers,” he said, “I’ve looked at hundreds of them today. Only one ship, the Star, was in the three
ports at the right times. This morning the Star left London to sail back to Georgia. I found out that the captain and
two of his men, all Americans, weren’t on the ship last night, so I’m sure they killed John. When they arrive in
America, they’ll get the pips and then the police will catch them!”

The International Space Station (ISS) became human’s first “home” in space in 2000. It welcomed its first
worker that year, making the way for 20 years of future research.
“ We should know that we’re all citizens(公民) of not a country, but of the planet,” NASA astronaut Scott
Kelly said while talking about working in the ISS.
Over the past 20 years, the ISS has mainly been used as a science lab, hosting 241 people from 19 countries,
according to NASA. They’ve gone on spacewalks, done research on how space affects the human body, and even
grown different plants in space.
The station’s development has also been good for people on Earth. For example, the station’s water
purification technology has been used in poor areas to provide clean water drinking water. The station also plays
a role in warning us of natural disasters(灾难).
However, after working for over 7,000 days, the station is starting to get old. It has leaked(泄露) air a few
times. Scientists think that the station can keep working until 2024. After that, they’ll bring it down to Earth. It’s
believed the Earth’s atmosphere(大气层) will burn up most of the station. The rest of it will fall into the Pacific
Ocean.
In the future, space will be home to more stations like the ISS. NASA is building a space station that is
smaller than the ISS near the moon. Also, China’s space station will be put into use in 2022.

1. Which of the following things haven’t the astronauts from the ISS done?
A. Going on spacewalks. B. Growing different plants.

Every language learner always faces a problem: you’re talking to someone in a language you haven’t
mastered yet, and all of the sudden you can’t remember a word—or you realize that you haven’t even learned it
yet! The conversation stops, your mind goes blank(空白). We all forget words (even in our mother tongues), but
that doesn’t need to shut us up. Follow these tips, and you’ll never be left speechless again.
Just guess
Over 30% of English vocabularies were taken in from French, so if you’re speaking French to someone and
you suddenly draw a blank, there’s a good chance that what you say will at least be similar to a real French word.
This skill also works for the other Romance languages(罗曼斯语).
Make up words
This is especially easy to do with languages like German. If you want to say glove, but don’t know how, just
take two probable words (hand + shoe) and stick them together. Even if your clever made - up word is totally not a
real word, your conversation partner will find it much easier to guess what you mean.
Use your body
Seriously, pay more attention to the power of body language. So put up your hands, make sound effects, turn
over your body, stamp your foot if you need to, try anything!
Say it in your mother tongue
This should only be your last way, use it only for those instances(场合) where tips one through three have
failed. Saying the word in your own language is not ideal(理想的), but it’s still better than saying nothing.
根据材料内容，选择最佳答案。
1. What’s the question every language learner always faces?
A. Your mind goes blank. B. Don’t know each other well.
C. Forgetting a word while talking. D. Don’t master a foreign language.
2. How many English vocabularies come from French?
A. More than 30 percent. B. Less than 30 percent.
C. More than 70 percent. D. Leas than 70 percent.
3. Which word can you use to express the meaning of the word “hat”?
A. hand + shoe B. head + shoe C. shoe + head D. shoe + hand4. Which is your last way when you can’t remember a word?
A. Just guess. B. Use your body.
C. Make up words. D. Say it in your mother tongue.
5. Which one is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Your mind may go blank when you forget a word while talking.
B. Making up words may be a good way while talking to others.
C. Body language plays an important role in your conversation.
D. Saying it in your mother tongue is better than saying something.
