6 / 6 UNIT 2 课时跟踪检测(一) 阅读理解专项练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A While I was working at a French school, I was often preparing my work in the staff room.Sometimes I would hear the school secretary talking.At first I thought she was talking to me, as there was no one else in the room except me, so I tried to respond to her.However, I soon realized that in fact, she was talking to herself.I noticed a lot of people do this in France.In the UK, people might think you're a bit strange if you talk to yourself at work, but there it seemed quite normal.It really did confuse me at times, because I was not sure whether people were talking to me or just talking to themselves. Another area of confusion involved the French language.In French, there are two ways to say “you”： “tu” is the informal form while “vous” is the formal form.This is an aspect of French which, even now, I do not really understand.When I learnt French, I was taught to call everyone “vous” unless they were my family or friends.So I was surprised that virtually everyone in France used the informal “tu” all the time.School children used “tu” when they stayed with their teachers and all the staff called the head teacher “tu”．But I continued to use “vous” because I didn't want people to think I was impolite. As you might know, school children in the UK traditionally wear school uniforms but in France pupils do not wear a uniform.It was a culture shock for me to see children wear Spiderman T­shirts and baggy (宽松的) blue jeans in the classroom. I found the differences puzzling at times, but I couldn't deny what a great opportunity it was to live and work in another country.The UK and France are only separated by a small channel of the sea, but there are many differences between the two countries. 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。在法国，作者经历了不同的文化，其中有好多事使作者感到非常困惑，包括职场交际、语言特色和学生着装等。尽管如此，作者仍为体验到不同的文化而感到庆幸。 1．In the staff room, the school secretary ________.
