Gina was surprised to find that it was not raining in London. She stepped down from the train that had brought her from Dover to Victoria Station and put her heavy suitcase on the platform(站台). People were hurrying everywhere: through the entrances and exits, up and down the steps, along the other platforms and over to the ticket counters(柜台) where there were already queues forming. The porters(行李员) seemed to be busy helping other passengers. In Milan everyone told her that it was always raining in England. Today, however, they were wrong. It was warm and dusty just like at home. She could even hear someone speaking her native language somewhere near the station bookstore. She walked slowly towards the gate at the end of the platform where a railway official was collecting the tickets. She handed him her tickets and walked through. She looked up the station clock. Its hands were pointing to 3:15 p.m.
A young woman was sitting on a bench reading an English magazine. She looked friendly so Gina went up to her.
“Excuse me.” she said. The young woman glanced(瞥一眼) up with a smile. “Can you tell me the way to circus?”
“The circus?” The young woman looked puzzled. “What circus do you mean?”
Gina shook her head. “I’m sorry. I have just arrived from Italy to attend a school for foreign students in London. It is near the circus. “
“Do you have a letter with the school’s address on it?”
“Oh, yes. Now I remember.” Gina opened her handbag and found a postcard with a British stamp on it. “Ah,” said the young woman. “It’s Oxford Circus that you want. It’s the name of an area in the middle of London. You must go down these steps and take the Tube(地铁). Follow the colors. That’s the easiest way. ” She showed Gina on the colored map of the underground railway the route from Victoria to Oxford Circus. “Good luck,” she said. “And by the way, I come from Italy, too.”

We talked with June Galloway about her book Get off on the Right Foot: Don’t Let the Wrong Gesture (手势) Ruin Your Day.
English is an international language. But in your book, communication without words is paid more attention to. ▲
June:Well, gestures and other body languages have different meanings in different places. Something that you think is friendly or polite could be considered to be very impolite in another culture. I’ve described many of these customs and cultural differences, so my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot when they meet people from places where the culture is different from their own.
Can greeting someone the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding?
June:In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects may seem quite impolite in other places. And a light handshake—which is usual in some countries—may seem unfriendly to a North American.
What other gestures can cause misunderstanding?
June:Take the gesture for “Come here” for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm(掌心) up. Well, in southern Europe, that gesture means “goodbye”. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude. Instead, people there gesture with the palm down.
Surely, there must be some gestures used everywhere, right? What about the thumb-up(翘拇指)gesture for “great”?
June:Sorry. That’s very rude in Australia and the Middle East. That is why it’s important to know about body language and cultural differences.
5.Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?
A.How is it going? B.Why is that so important?
C.Can you give us some examples? D.Could it make readers interested?
6.What does June mean by saying “my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot”?
A.Her readers won’t hurt others. B.Her readers won’t have a bad start.
C.Her readers won’t know how to walk. D.Her readers will always know where to go.
7.Which gesture should you use if you want to say “goodbye” in southern Europe?
A. B. C. D.
8.According to the passage, which is NOT mentioned in June’s book?
A.Some common gestures. B.Different meanings of a gesture.
C.The importance of body language. D.The development of body language.
9.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.A light handshake is quite polite in North America.
B.June mainly talks about the English language in her book.
C.The book is helpful to those who often travel around the world.
D.If you want to say “great” to an Australian, just make a thumb-up gesture.

The special walkways can protect them from danger.

Living in a culture that is different from your own can be a both exciting and challenging experience. You have to learn different cultural practices and try to fit in with them.
Privacy—Chinese people don’t have the same idea of privacy as Americans do. Chinese people often talk about ages, income or marriage, but Americans think it’s impolite to talk about them.
Family—It’s a tradition in China to show great respect to the elders and give love and care to the young. American families usually try to encourage independence, especially the independence of children. Unlike the Chinese, old Americans don’t like to live with their children.
Friends—Chinese people and Americans have different opinions about friends. For the Chinese, just hanging out together from time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends. They feel deeply honest to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call all the people they meet “friends”, so the meaning of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.
Money—As is well known, the Chinese like to save. They are always clever to spend little when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for future use or education.
Education—Chinese people usually think education is very important in life. Well, Americans pay more attention to good character and faith (信仰).
Collectivism vs. Individualism (集体主义与个人主义)—If you achieve something in the US, it’s because you are great and have the ability. While in China, if you achieve something, it’s because the team or the family is great.

【答案】15.C 16.B 17.A 18.B 19.D

Unit 3 Could you please tell me where the restrooms are
【A卷·提升卷】
一、阅读理解(每小题2分,共48分)
Gina was surprised to find that it was not raining in London. She stepped down from the train that had brought her from Dover to Victoria Station and put her heavy suitcase on the platform(站台). People were hurrying everywhere: through the entrances and exits, up and down the steps, along the other platforms and over to the ticket counters(柜台) where there were already queues forming. The porters(行李员) seemed to be busy helping other passengers. In Milan everyone told her that it was always raining in England. Today, however, they were wrong. It was warm and dusty just like at home. She could even hear someone speaking her native language somewhere near the station bookstore. She walked slowly towards the gate at the end of the platform where a railway official was collecting the tickets. She handed him her tickets and walked through. She looked up the station clock. Its hands were pointing to 3:15 p.m.
A young woman was sitting on a bench reading an English magazine. She looked friendly so Gina went up to her.
“Excuse me.” she said. The young woman glanced(瞥一眼) up with a smile. “Can you tell me the way to circus?”
“The circus?” The young woman looked puzzled. “What circus do you mean?”
Gina shook her head. “I’m sorry. I have just arrived from Italy to attend a school for foreign students in London. It is near the circus. “
“Do you have a letter with the school’s address on it?”
“Oh, yes. Now I remember.” Gina opened her handbag and found a postcard with a British stamp on it. “Ah,” said the young woman. “It’s Oxford Circus that you want. It’s the name of an area in the middle of London. You must go down these steps and take the Tube(地铁). Follow the colors. That’s the easiest way. ” She showed Gina on the colored map of the underground railway the route from Victoria to Oxford Circus. “Good luck,” she said. “And by the way, I come from Italy, too.”

We talked with June Galloway about her book Get off on the Right Foot: Don’t Let the Wrong Gesture (手势) Ruin Your Day.
English is an international language. But in your book, communication without words is paid more attention to. ▲
June:Well, gestures and other body languages have different meanings in different places. Something that you think is friendly or polite could be considered to be very impolite in another culture. I’ve described many of these customs and cultural differences, so my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot when they meet people from places where the culture is different from their own.
Can greeting someone the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding?
June:In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects may seem quite impolite in other places. And a light handshake—which is usual in some countries—may seem unfriendly to a North American.
What other gestures can cause misunderstanding?
June:Take the gesture for “Come here” for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm(掌心) up. Well, in southern Europe, that gesture means “goodbye”. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude. Instead, people there gesture with the palm down.
Surely, there must be some gestures used everywhere, right? What about the thumb-up(翘拇指)gesture for “great”?
June:Sorry. That’s very rude in Australia and the Middle East. That is why it’s important to know about body language and cultural differences.
5.Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?
A.How is it going? B.Why is that so important?
C.Can you give us some examples? D.Could it make readers interested?
6.What does June mean by saying “my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot”?
A.Her readers won’t hurt others. B.Her readers won’t have a bad start.
C.Her readers won’t know how to walk. D.Her readers will always know where to go.
7.Which gesture should you use if you want to say “goodbye” in southern Europe?
A. B. C. D.
8.According to the passage, which is NOT mentioned in June’s book?
A.Some common gestures. B.Different meanings of a gesture.
C.The importance of body language. D.The development of body language.
9.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.A light handshake is quite polite in North America.
B.June mainly talks about the English language in her book.
C.The book is helpful to those who often travel around the world.
D.If you want to say “great” to an Australian, just make a thumb-up gesture.
In Xi’an, there are special sidewalks for the phubbers (低头族). Different people have different opinions on it.
Li Minyi, 14, Beijing
This special walkway can keep people who are always looking at their phones safe and protect them from accidents. People might feel much freer when using this walkway, because they used to knock into someone else on a crowded one.
Huang Xi, 15, Jiangsu
It just encourages people to keep looking at their phones. Just imagine if everyone only paid attention to their mobile phones while walking, walkways like this would be useless and accidents would still happen.
Chen Yecheng, 14, Hubei
Mobile phones have made a big difference in our lives. It seems that many people can’t live without them. Every year, many people get injured or lose their lives because they are playing on their mobile phones while walking. So why not create a better environment for them? The special walkways can protect them from danger.
Sun Run, 14, Zhejiang
Smart phones are making a difference to our lives too much. They keep us away from reality and the beauty around us. A special walkway for those is indulgence (纵容). Can’t people put their phones down for a while and enjoy a beautiful day? This is what we should encourage.
10.The underlined word “one” refers to “________”.
A.sidewalk B.phone C.an accident D.a person looking down at the phone
11.What does the underlined phrase “get injured” mean in Chinese?
A.补偿 B.受伤 C.损失 D.逃避
12.According to Sun Run, we should encourage people ________.
A.to walk on the special sidewalk B.not to use mobile phones in life
C.to spend more time on work D.to play with the phone less and enjoy life more
13.Who think(s) it a good idea to have such a sidewalk for the phubbers?
①Li Minyi ②Huang Xi ③Chen Yecheng ④Sun Run
A.①③ B.③④ C.①③④ D.①②③④
14.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Don’t be a phubber. B.Good service in Xi’an
C.Special walkways for the phubbers. D.Should we look down at our phone while walking?
Living in a culture that is different from your own can be a both exciting and challenging experience. You have to learn different cultural practices and try to fit in with them.
Privacy—Chinese people don’t have the same idea of privacy as Americans do. Chinese people often talk about ages, income or marriage, but Americans think it’s impolite to talk about them.
Family—It’s a tradition in China to show great respect to the elders and give love and care to the young. American families usually try to encourage independence, especially the independence of children. Unlike the Chinese, old Americans don’t like to live with their children.
Friends—Chinese people and Americans have different opinions about friends. For the Chinese, just hanging out together from time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends. They feel deeply honest to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call all the people they meet “friends”, so the meaning of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.
Money—As is well known, the Chinese like to save. They are always clever to spend little when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for future use or education.
Education—Chinese people usually think education is very important in life. Well, Americans pay more attention to good character and faith (信仰).
Collectivism vs. Individualism (集体主义与个人主义)—If you achieve something in the US, it’s because you are great and have the ability. While in China, if you achieve something, it’s because the team or the family is great.
15.What does the underlined word “Privacy” mean in the passage?
A.梦想 B.自由 C.隐私 D.个性

A.save money B.spend money C.make friends D.live alone
18.What’s more important in American education?
A.Education and future. B.Good character and faith.

19.What can we learn from the passage?

22 You can say, “I’ve got too much work at that time.” If you are in another city at that time, you could say, “I’m not in town on that day.”
Finally, give another time to meet. For example, if your friend asks you to go out for a drink on Friday, you could say, “I’m afraid I can’t make it on Friday. 23 ”
The event may not be important to you, but the invitation shows the host would like to share it with you. 24 Make sure everything goes well when you need to refuse an invitation.
