Europeans have a lot in common but it is their difference, not their similarities, that attract the attention of sociologists(社会学家)and market researchers, and are more interesting. 35% of Germans live alone, but only 9%of Spaniards. Perhaps this explains why Spaniards lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe, and the Belgians least. So it cant just be the dark evenings. There are no figures on how many Britons go for a drink afterwards. If there were, they might be up at the top with Spain!The British think black cats are lucky. Every other European country regards them unlucky.The Dutch and Germans are greatest caravanners(活动房居住者), but the Germans like bigger beds in their caravans.The French are the most athletic Europeans. Next come the Dutch. But the Belgians, just over the border, play fewest sports.The Germans spend twice as much on heating as the Spaniards. Well, of course they do, its colder.Dutch husbands do the household shopping a lot more often than Italians or Spaniards.The French are the champion public transport commuters(经常往返者)of Europe. If you hate commuting, go and live in the Netherlands, where journeys to work are shorter than anywhere else.The amount of direct eye-contact between strangers is three times greater among Spaniards than it is among the British or Swedes. Sharing a lift is torture for both the British and the Swedish.No European countries really agree with any other about how to make good coffee. All of them are different.There are exceptions(例外)to all these rules. Deal with them in the spirit of my 8-year-old daughter. “If you dont understand each others language, you just laugh a lot, and eat, and point at things.”56. We can know from this passage that_.A. sociologists are most interested in the idea of European UnionB. most European countries are not willing to join the European UnionC. Europeans have more differences than similaritiesD. trade opportunities exist in the cultural differences in the European Union57. If you work or live in Belgium, you will_.A. have to change your living places oftenB. seldom see people playing sportsC. not get used to its cold weatherD. be invited to go for a drink frequently58. What does the underlined sentence “Sharing a lift is torture for both the British and the Swedish.” mean?A. The British and the Swedish care about their safety most.B. The British and the Swedish like to appear gentle and smart.C. The British and the Swedish hate to look at each other face to face.D. The British and the Swedish enjoy a richer life than others59. In the last paragraph, the author wants to express his idea that _.A. his daughter knows well how to understand foreigners in unfamiliar situationsB. Europeans actually share the same culture even if they have different languagesC. being a European, you will have no living trouble at all in the European UnionD. there are differences between European countries, but dont take it too seriouslyBTAIBEIIncreasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the islands “China rush”, seeking education on the Chinese mainland.According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate(研究生)programmes on the mainland totaled 461 in 1996, 928 in 1997 and 839 in 1998. Although no latest official numbers were available, Netbig.com said this number had risen between 30 to 50 percent annually in the past two years with well over 1000 entering mainland campuses last year.The Internet site, based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, provides education service and information on Chinese mainland colleges and universities . “Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job market”, Netbig.com vice-president Ingrid Huang said. “I believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field in the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people,” said Lydia Chang, a 19-year-old majoring in journalism at Shih Shin University. Chang plans to go on to get a masters degree in business administration in Shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such studies.A journalism graduate student, surnamed Lin, at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law on the Chinese mainland since “there will be better career prospects now that more Taiwanese companies are going there.”Some business executives were sending their children to study in the Chinese mainland. “They hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations,” said Yang Ching-yao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies. A Netbig.com survey showed the campuses favored by Taiwanese students included Beijing, Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing, and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou. The most popular studies were law, business and Chinese medicine.At present, Chinese Taibei doesnt recognize diplomas earned in the Chinese mainland nor help with any inquiries about studying there. But recognizing the trend, education authorities are giving a final form to a policy accepting certificates(证书)from selected universities.60. More Taiwanese students study on the Chinese mainland because_.A. Taiwan will reunite with the mainland sooner or laterB. the fees asked for are lower than those of TaiwanC. what they have learned on the mainland will bring them a bright futureD. there are many famous universities for them to choose61. Some business executives were sending their children to study in the Chinese mainland so that their children_.A. could receive better educationB. could learn more about the policy thereC. could do well in the business operationsD. could make more friends there62. The underlined word “it ”(para 3)refers to _.A. Netbig.comB. a Chinese education on the mainlandC. the Chinese job marketD. the university63. The author wrote the article to tell us_.A. more Taiwanese students are studying on the mainlandB. the number of Taiwanese students going to universities on the mainland had been increasing year after yearC. education on the mainland is more attractive compared with TaiwanD. Taiwan and the mainland should cooperate with each other in every fieldCA punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset(财产)as well as others. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he cannot get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.Failure to be punctual in keeping ones appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to do ones duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in chare of important tasks failed to be at their proper places at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.64. What does the author think is the main difference between a punctual person and an unpunctual person?A. A punctual person does everything ahead of time while an unpunctual person does everything behind schedule.B. A punctual person does everything at the right time while an unpunctual person seldom does anything at the correct time.C. A punctual person has a lot of appointments while an unpunctual person has few appointments.D. A punctual person has much time to do everything while an unpunctual person has little time to do anything.65. According to the passage, the main reason that a person is always unpunctual is that_.A. he has more work to do than other peopleB. he is always in a hurry when he worksC. he doesnt care much about timeD. he always mismanages and wastes his time66. According to the third paragraph, when you are invited to dinner, you should arrive there_.A. after other guests have arrivedB. before all other guestsC. at the appointed timeD. after the host has got things ready67. Which of the following statements best describes the harm of unpunctuality?A. If you are an unpunctual person, you cannot be in charge of any important task.B. If your friends know that you are unpunctual, they may not see you again.C. Unpunctuality may bring about heavy losses for both public and private affairs.D. Unpunctuality may make you miss a lot of appointments and lose friends. DSeveral times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are brought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet(节食)drink to last an entire evening.Tours abroad are difficult because hosts(主人)seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴会). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was arranged in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly baked over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast pig was her serving.Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favorite trick of talking with her host., King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.Reporters traveling with her have noted that the Queen will sometimes seem so carried away by a foreign leaders political chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork to swallow a mouthful, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.68. The main idea of the passage is about _.A. the Queens favorite foodB. the Queens tours abroad
