Another was a loud and rude 15-year-old girl cursing at her teachers. But back home British people were laughing thinking “Yes! Thats exactly what were like!”A laugh is a laugh in any language but the reasons for it can be very different. Britons and Americans speak the same language but humor does not always translate.The Office, a UK TV series(连续剧), was changed for the US. Both the US and UK series are set in a boring workplace in a boring town. But David Brent the boss of the UK office is not a nice guy like Michael Scott in the US version. “We had to make Michael Scott a slightly nicer guy.” wrote series creator Ricky Gervais. “He couldnt be too mean.”Gervais said British people are different from Americans because “ Britons make fun of people we like or dislike”. He believes the differences between the American and British senses of humor come from different education background. “Americans are brought up to believe they can be the next president of the United States” he wrote. “ Britons are told It wont happen to you.”Things usually turn out fine at the end of every US Office episode(集). But in David Brents office - and in lots of UK comedies -the last scene is often sad. You are often left with the feeling that things just couldnt get worse. Cultural differences are no laughing matter. But comic differences can be a window into a Culture.6 . What is the purpose of the first paragraph?ATo show that British humor is not funny at all.BTo show that American people dont understand British people.CTo show that Britain and America have different stereotypes.DTo show how humor may mean different things in different cultures.7 .

What is the authors opinion of comic differences?AThey are slight differences that can be ignored.BThey can partly show cultural differences.CThey show stereotypes of different cultures.DThey help people communicate with each other.9 . How does the writer explain his opinion?AAnswering questionsBMaking surveysCGiving examplesDTelling stories.If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Little Prince小王子. Its a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言). Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film.The book tells the story of a pilot(飞行员), called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击)into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly, the Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are finished with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to a surprising world where anything is possible.China is the first country in the world to see the film in two languages-in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girls life and tells The Little Princes story at the same time in a beautiful way.Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most grown-ups in this stressed-out society.“The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince, and its a pity that this good nature goes away as time flies,” he says.10 .

Students love it and they usually take an active part in it.Last week our school had an English Week. We did everything in English. The Students Union organized (组织) many activities. Each class put up a special wallpaper outside their classroom. There was an English speech contest on how to be a good student in the new century. Many students and teachers enjoyed it. There were also a lot of English riddles on the walls of the school gym. I got three prizes because I guessed many riddles.On the last day, all the teachers and students gathered (聚集) in the school hall. We had the closing ceremony of the English Week there. We also invited some students from an American School. First, our headmaster made a closing speech in English. Then we watched some performances by some students and teachers. There were short plays, dances, piano-playing group sing, etc. This was really wonderful closing ceremony. We enjoyed every minute of it. We are all looking forward to the next English Week.15 .

We are lucky to live now, because there are lots of medicines to make people better.The most common illness in the world is the cold. It often begins with a sore throat. Then you sneeze and your nose runs. You usually have a headache too. Often you cough later. Its not a very bad illness, but you can feel quite ill. There isnt a cure (治愈方法) for a cold, but you can take medicines to make you feel better. For instance, aspirin (阿斯匹林) can stop your headache. It is good to rest, and to drink a lot of water too. A doctor once said to me, “With the proper medicine, a cold will continue for seven days. With no medicine, it will continue for a whole week!”Where does our medicine come from? A long time ago, people knew that some plants made them feel better. They ate the leaves, the roots, the fruit, or the seeds of plants. For instance, the juice of lemons makes a sore throat feel better. In modern times, scientists have looked at these plants, and found out which chemicals are in them. Many of our medicines today are made from those chemicals.There are some illnesses which we cant cure yet. And nobody has found a cure for old age. But because of modern medicines, most people now live longer than their grandparents_1题完成句子；2-3题简略回答问题；4题找出并写下全文的主题句；5题将文中画线句子译成汉语。35 . When a person catches a cold, he can _ to feel better.36 .
