Every day he went out with his brushes and painted from morning to evening. When it got dark, he went back to the farm and had a good dinner before he went to bed.At the end of the holiday, he wanted to pay the farmer. But the farmer said, “ No, I dont want any money, but give me one of your pictures. What is money? In a week it will all be finished, but your painting will still be here.”The artist was very pleased and thanked the farmer for saying such kind things about his paintings.The farmer smiled and answered, “ It is not that, I have a son in London. He wants to become an artist. When he comes here next month, I will show him your picture. And then he will not want to be an artist any more, I think.”41 .

But they would do well to remember that a new choice is available micro-homes.Fondly called “tiny houses,” these houses have all living necessities in a small package, including kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Generally under 50 square meters, most tiny houses can hold just one or two people though some say they have the space for more. Whats lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite modern in design.Besides an attractive appearance, tiny houses can also have practical features(特点). Making the best of urban space, the 72-to-122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw, the worlds narrowest home, filled in an alley(小巷). The house uses solar power, wind power and rainwater collection to make its owner live practically anywhere. Although micro-homes are attractive, there are a few disadvantages to consider before getting comfortable on a minicouch. Moving into a tiny house, you should throw away unnecessary things. It is also mostly impossible to invite guests. And finally, a micro-home is likely a temporary(暂时的) living choice for most people since they will probably start families and own more things.Though the limitation will scare some, there is usually a benefit. A small size results in low prices and small bills, making tiny houses easier to afford. And though you wont have many things around the house, it makes it easy and simple to keep it clean. Micro-homes are also eco-friendly, which cant be matched by other homes. They probably arent for everyone or forever, but when it comes to your next (or first) home, they could be just what you need.45 . What can be learnt about micro-homes from Paragraph 2?APeople cant take a package into the tiny houses.BAll of the houses can hold more than two people.CThese houses are convenient though tiny in size.DSuch houses are poorly designed because of the small size.46 . The author develops Paragraph 3 mainly_.Aby examplesBby comparisonsCby order in spaceDby causes and effects47 . Micro-homes are especially suitable for _.Aa young person who has many thingsBa person who doesnt have much moneyCa couple who want to protect environmentDa family hoping to settle down in a city48 . What can be the best title for the text?AEast or west, home is the best.BMicro-homes more than tiny!CHome-hunting no easy matter!DTiny or large, this is a choice.四、根据首字母、中文提示填空根据句意及首字母提示，补全单词，完成句子。49 .

Culture shock is the uncomfortable feeling of uncertainty that many people experience when they live in other surroundings. It is a quite natural part of being used to a new environment.Some good ways to successfully reduce and overcome(克服) culture shock are to read about the place where you will be staying and the things you will be doing, also, if possible, speak with someone who has already lived in the new environment.Once you are there, keep in mind that people and customs may be very different from what you are used to. If you have realized the difficulties and misunderstandings that may happen to you, you will keep a cool head, and keeping an open mind will allow you to find ways of dealing with those problems that may appear.If it is possible, try your best to talk with the local people and ask them questions. Dont try to isolate(孤立) yourself, even if it is within a group of people from your own country. Local people will generally be pleased to introduce you to their culture and willing to answer questions. Dont be afraid of making mistakes. When you want to learn something from local people, they are usually willing to share their culture with you and learn from you in turn.Most importantly, keep a sense of humor! Dont be too hard on yourself if you dont know what to do in a social situation. Laugh at yourself and others will laugh with you. Most people will admire your wisdom and effort to understand their ways, especially if you have no idea of small cultural differences.
