People say that the British always play safe⑥ with what they eat. Not true! I went to a summer school in Manchester and my English teacher was called Maggie. One day,a different teacher took our class. He told us that Maggie couldn’t teach that day COZ she had a frog in her throat⑦. Poor Maggie—but why did she try to eat such a big frog?

主从复合句,其中“People say that”相当于“Do is said that...”。“that the British...eat”为that引导的宾语从句,作say的宾语;“what they eat”为what引导的宾语从句,作介词with的宾语。
画线部分为that引导的宾语从句;“COZ...throat”为COZ(=because)引导的原因状语从句。

⑥play safe 谨慎行事,避免冒险
⑦have a frog in one’s throat (尤因喉咙痛)说话困难
frog n.[C]蛙,青蛙
throat n.[C]喉咙

人们说英国人吃东西总是很谨慎。才不是呢!我在曼彻斯特参加过一个暑期培训班,我的英语老师叫玛吉。有一天,另外一个老师来给我们代课。他告诉我们玛吉老师那天没法来上课,因为她的喉咙里卡了一只青蛙。可怜的玛吉老师——可是她为什么要试图吃那么大的青蛙呢?

When I first visited New York,I went to a downtown⑧ shopping centre to buy some winter boots⑨. At the information desk at the entrance, I asked a lady where the shoe section was. She said that it was on the first floo. So I went up to the first floor,but couldn’t find any shoes. I decided to leave. When I was looking for the exit,I saw that shoes were actually sold downstairs on the ground floor,not the first floor. Why did she give me the wrong information? X-(

I’ve got an English penfriend,who I finally got to meet in London this summer. He had told me that his grandfather was “really wicked”. But when I met his grandfather, I liked him a lot. I found it very odd. Why did my friend use a negative word about such a nice man?

The British must have really high standards. I was part of a student exchange programme between a university in England and my university in China.I spent days preparing and writing my first English paper. I knew I had done a good job and was looking forward to getting a positive comment. When I got the paper back,I found my teacher had written the comment “Not bad!” Not bad? But there weren’t any errors in my paper.∶-(

该句使用了“spend...(in)doing sth.”结构,preparing和writing是两个并列的v.-ing形式。
⑳standard n.[C,U](品质的)标准,水平,规格,规范
high standards 高标准
meet/reach a standard 达到标准
㉑a student exchange programme 交换生项目
exchange student 交换生
㉒paper 熟词生义 n.[C](学生的)研究报告,论文
㉓error/ˈerə/n.[C,U]错误,谬误
human error 人为错误
in error (=by mistake)错误地
郑旭
英国人的标准一定很高很高。我在中国上的大学和英国一所大学有一个交换项目,我作为交换生到英国学习。我的第一篇英语论文,从准备到写作花了若干天时间,我知道自己写得很好,也期待着得到一个积极的评价。可是当我拿回论文时,我发现老师写的评语竟然是“不算差!”。不算差?可是我的论文里什么错误也没有呀。∶-(

Ⅲ.阅读理解
English language learning and teaching involve more factors than language rules and phonetic (语音的) development.Language learners who pay no attention to the cultural elements seem to meet many difficulties in understanding what native speakers mean.Cultural education makes language learners know cultural backgrounds easily.
Though culture has always been an element in English language learning,it was during the 1960s when linguists began to place cultural education at the forefront of language learning.And most experts believed that cultural education should focus on learning the culture of the target language.In 1974,teachers started to introduce it into the English language learning classroom.In the 1990s,Michael Byram and Carol Morgan published a report,which showed the importance of knowing the learners’ cultural backgrounds when teachers taught their students to study a foreign language.
For a student whose cultural tradition involves mostly spoken story-telling,reading a text may be a little bit difficult.If the language teacher is unfamiliar with the cultural tradition of this student,he or she may consider the student’s reading trouble as a learning problem. However, it’s actually the result of cultural differences.
There are many cultural differences affecting English language learning.The most obvious one is the native language itself.A student who follows basic language and grammar rules from his or her native language will have trouble learning English.Because English may not be translated into his or her native language directly.Another cultural influence is learning or teaching style.All of these may cause different learning results.
Cultural education is the most important step in reducing cultural conflicts that may arise in the English language classroom.Teachers should be educated in many kinds of instructions that could respond to any student’s needs.Classroom time should focus on understandable cultural education; lessons about body language,eye contact,academic language and conversational language also should be the most important elements of the curriculum (课程).
