Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at bed and br
2、eakfast houses, because this kind of accommodation gives foreign visitors a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. We didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses they said, because we found that most families were away o
3、n holiday. I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought VACANCIES meant holidays, because the Spanish word for holidays is vacaciones. So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said VACANCIES, which in English means t
4、here are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sign said NO VACANCIES , because they thought this meant the people who owned the houses were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels! We laughed at this and about the mistak
5、es my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word DIVERSION means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word DIVERSION on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road e
6、nded in a large hole. English people also have problems when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said Thank you in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that Thank yo
7、u in French means No, thank you. . 1. Why did the author suggest his friends staying at bed and breakfast houses? - 2 - A.It would be much cheaper than staying in hotels. B.It would be convenient for them to have dinner together. C.They would be able to practise their English. D.There would be no pr
8、oblem about finding accommodation there. 2.If you see a road sign that says DIVERSION in London, you will _. A.fall into a large hole B.find the road blocked by people C.have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself D.have to take a different road 3.What did the author really mean when the coffee pot was tak
9、en away? A.He would finish drinking his coffee. B.He was expecting another cup of coffee. C.He meant that he didnt want any more. D.He has already had enough coffee. 2. If you are invited to a wedding, baby shower or other celebrations, you will be expected to bring a gift. Unless you know the host
10、very well, the gift should be modest in value, about $ 25 or so. For a wedding, the bride will have registered (登记) at one or two local department stores, indicating the items she prefers. You can buy the couple a gift that isnt listed, but most people buy something listed on the registry (记录簿). If
11、you buy an item listed on the registry, be sure to tell the store that you are doing this, so that the couple doesnt receive duplicate (重复的)gifts. For a baby shower, bring a gift appropriate for a new born baby. If you wish to give a gift when you leave to return to your country, the best gift is so
12、mething unique to your country. It does not need to be especially valuable or rare. Possibilities include a book about your country, an inexpensive piece of handicraft (手工艺品), or art, or something else that reflects your culture. If the children collect coins and stamps, they would be very pleased w
13、ith a set of your country, coins or a selection of stamps from your country. If you owe a debt of deep gratitude to an American host family, a common way of repaying it is to take the family to a form of entertainment, such as a baseball, basketball, or a good restaurant. Gift giving is not as impor
14、tant in America as it is in other countries, so there is nothing wrong - 3 - with not giving a gift. If you need help, talk to a sales, person at a department store. Tell them about the person who will be receiving the gift and the reason for the gift, and they will help you find something appropria

Other cultures can be different from ours in many aspects! They can eat different foods and live in different types of houses. People probably speak di
18、fferent languages and have beliefs and customs very different from yours. However, they can also be similar in ways of connecting with each other. We sometimes call these means of communication universal languages. Some legends hold that, thousands of years ago, there was a single language spoken by
19、 everyone on Earth. It is fun to think about a time when everyone may have been able to communicate in the same language though historical evidence does not support this, of course. Today, there are thousands of languages spoken around the world. Yet, there are some means of communication that go be
20、yond words and allow people of wildly different backgrounds to communicate and share emotions and feelings. For example, some people believe music is a universal language. There may be some scientific support for this idea, too. Experts have learnt that, across cultures, people can recognise three c
21、ommon emotions in music: happiness, sadness and fear. So what other types of universal languages might there be? Some people believe dance is a universal language. Along with music, dancing seems to be a common interest shared by people all - 4 - over the world. Do you think you could see a dance fr
22、om another culture and make some reasonable guesses about the ideas and emotions behind it? We bet you could! Another universal language that you might not have thought of is math! If you think about it now, though, it just makes sense. The value of pi is roughly 3.14159 no matter where you are on E
23、arth, likewise, figuring out the value of something involves the same mathematical calculations, regardless of whether youre counting in dollars, pesos or coconuts. 1.What does the underlined word this in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A.The view that people only used one language. B.The fact that t
24、here used to be many languages. C.The evidence that proves old languages funny. D.The doubt that people didnt understand each other. 2.Why is music regarded as a universal language?

C.History, culture and music. D.Emotion, pi and music. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Various
26、 Differences Between Cultures B.Music Helps People Show Feelings C.Universal Languages Connect Different Cultures D.Cross-cultural Communication History 4. Drama in educationthe use of embodied make-believe has proved to be a highly effective teaching and learning tool, from ancient Greek times to t
27、he present day. Tell me and I will forget, the Confucian proverb goes. Show me and I will remember. Involve me and I will understand. However, the status of drama on the curriculum (课程) at primary and post-primary level in Ireland has been in dispute for some years. Drama is an art form and also a p
28、owerful pedagogical (教 - 5 - 育学的) tool. Yet its frequent use has made it difficult to define exactly what drama in education means in a working classroom. At primary level, drama is a good way of learning feelings, knowledge and ideas, and in examining relationships, which would help students unders
29、tand the world. The primary teacher should try to improve the childs ability of make-believe and use it into other areas of knowledge. So creating drama is more important performance, exploring life through the creation of fiction rather than developing a piece of work for performance. The results i
30、nclude the development of social, personal and drama skills. The way in which the child acquires knowledge through drama is as important as the knowledge itself. Dympna Byrne, a primary teacher, uses drama in every subject she teaches. A lot of the focus in primary education is to encourage children
31、 to be active in their own learning, and drama is a brilliant tool for that, she says. Byrne says the benefits of drama as a teaching tool can be easily found in subjects such as English (it helps with writing) or history (it can bring old things to life), but it is the way in which this type of lea
32、rning emerges (呈现) that is most important. Through competitions and performances, we can make the students interested in drama outside the classroom, because what really excites students about drama is that it is fun, she says. 1.The author of the passage uses the proverb to show that _. A.drama ori
33、ginated from ancient times B.drama is difficult to understand C.drama is beneficial to students D.drama does harm to pupils 2.In which way will drama benefit the students? A.Make them more humorous. B.Help them have many more ideas. C.Let them experience many kinds of feelings. D.Show them what the
34、world is like. 3.According to Byrne, what is most important in learning? A.How the students learn knowledge. B.What knowledge the students learn. C.Which subject can help with writing. D.When the student study the old things. 4.What could be the best title for the passage? A.Drama in the Classroom i
35、s a Primary Concern B.How Teachers Teach Students to Make Drama C.How Teachers Improve the Childs Ability D.How Teachers Make Lessons Fun with Drama 二、七选五 How to Develop Interpersonal Skills - 6 - People use interpersonal skills dailysocially as well as professionallyand usually without even being c
36、onscious of their effectiveness. In the workplace, listening, communicating, working together and manners are important interpersonal skills. An employee who falls short of any of these soft skills must work consciously to strengthen and develop them. _ Listen up. Active listening is a skill that mu
37、st be learned and practiced. _ The active listener provides feedback by focusing their full attention on the speaker and responding with verbal and non-verbal clues that the speakers message is heard and understood. Avoid failure to communicate. Simply talking to people does not guarantee that your
38、message is getting across. Common barriers to communication are lack of verbal clues, cultural differences, lack of interest, distractions, and unfamiliar expressions. Expect such barriers and deal with them. Learn to think before you speak, and express yourself clearly and carefully. _ Get it toget
39、her. Working together is the key to working effectively, _ Create such an environment, rather than competition, and respect the opinions of others. Praise and thank co-workers for their contributions and treat all suggestions and opinions with respect. _ The basics of these interpersonal skills are
