But I do know that fish heads are delicious. The head is the 62 part of fish; in 63 only the important guest can have the 64 of enjoying it. Another 65 thing is: the American friends often said to me“ 66 ”as they 67 home fruits or other things. According to Chinese tradition I would simply smile in answer to their kindness 68 actually helping myself to any of the food. 69 , I said “help yourself” to them whenever I brought home fruits.

It just shows how badly she wanted off the swimming team.”“Wanted off the swimming team?” said Papa. “She never said anything about that to me.”“Of course she didnt,” said Mama. “She was afraid youd blow your top. You already had her getting a swimming scholarship to college and winning gold medals at the Olympics. Can you imagine how much pressure she must have felt? For her, being on the team couldnt have been much fun.”“Oh, my gosh!” Papa said, clapping a hand to his forehead. “Ive been so stupid! I just thought shed want to be a champion swimmer because shes so good at it.”“Its like anything else, dear,” said Mama. “No matter how good at it you are, if it stops being fun, you wont want to do it anymore.”Papa put his head in his hands.“She must be really mad at me,” he mumbled. “Maybe I should say sorry to her.”Sisters footsteps could be heard on the stairs. She came into the kitchen and looked hopefully up at her parents.“Honey,” said Mama with a smile, “your papa and I have decided that theres no reason for you to be on the swimming team if you dont want to.”Sisters face lit up like a Christmas tree. “Yippee!” she cried.“And,” added Papa, “theres no need for any more drills. Im sure youll bring your grades back up all by yourself.”Sister ran to Papa and jumped into his arms. She gave him a big hug. “Im going to go play cards with Lizzy!” she said. “See you later!”From the kitchen window, Mama and Papa watched their daughter run down the sunny road toward Lizzys house.“Its good to see her happy again,” said Mama.“It sure is,” Papa agreed. “As for the swimming team, theres always next year.”“If?” Mama prompted him.“Oh, right,” said Papa. “If she wants to.”Mama smiled. “At least youre learning, dear,” she said.

Better Late Than NeverD. Something Is Better Than Nothing BIf English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.75. The main subject talked about in this passage is _.A. science on learning a second language B. mans ability of learning a second language C. that language can help brain power D. language learning and maths study76. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _. A. a researcher on language learningB. a second language learner C. a person who can speak two languagesD. an active language learner77. We may know from the scientific findings that _. A. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is B. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesnt know a second languageC. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on peoples brainD. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time78. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that _.A. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjectsC. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language D. youd better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second languageCDecision-making can be extremely difficult. Decision-making styles are significantly different in different cultures. In any approach to a problem and in any negotiations, the Western world turns to the “I to you” approach while Japan，the “you to you” approach. The former means both sides present their arguments openly from their own point of view. Naturally, often comes a confrontation (冲突) situation, which Westerners are very skillful in dealing with. The latter is based on each side trying to understand the other persons point of view. Thus, the direction of the meeting is a mutual (相互的) attempt to reduce confrontation and achieve harmony. Besides, Western decision-making goes mostly from top management (管理人员) and often does not consult middle management or the worker. However, in Japan great consideration is given to the thoughts and opinions of everyone at all levels. Based on “bottom-up direction”, ideas can be created at the lowest levels, travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decision. Difference in decision-making also comes from different communication styles. The Japanese business person works to achieve harmony, even if the deal falls through, and will spend whatever time is necessary to determine a “you to you” approach, communicating personal views only indirectly. They put a thorough job above the Western deadline approach. So the Japanese are thorough in their meetings. Thus Americans are often annoyed by the many meetings in many Japanese businesses. But where the American is pressing for a specific decision, the Japanese is trying to think up a rather broad direction. On the other hand, once a given agreement is made, it is the Japanese who sometimes wonder at the slow pace in which Westerners carry out the decision. The Japanese are eager to move forward and Westerners, perhaps, lag (落后) behind as they take the time for in-depth planning.79. A Japanese business bases its decision .A. on top-down direction B. on nothing but its workers viewsC. on bottom-up direction D. only on its top leaders opinions 80. The text mainly tells us that Japan and the Western world .A. face great difficulty in making decisions B. are different in decision-making styles C. have all members contribute to a decision D. have two approaches: “I to you” and “you to I”81. Which of the following is TRUE of the Westerners?A. They carry out the decision once it is made. B. There are many meetings in their businesses.C. They work to achieve harmony in doing business. D. They are good at handling confrontation situation.82. The authors
