How is your personality shaped? Most people believe that it is shaped by both nature and the environment. Nature Environment Some aspects (方面) of your personalities are passed on to you by your parents, for example, liveliness and impatience. That is why people say “like father, like son”. Sometimes, these personalities do not change and remain the same throughout your life. Parents are models for their children. Careful or careless, open or shy, patient or impatient, children will follow them. The roles of children in the family and the way of family education greatly change children’s personalities. School Society As students, children spend more time at school than at home. They study with their teachers and classmates. They meet so many people with different types of personalities. How they get along with each other and how the teachers treat their students may greatly influence students’ personalities. When people take a job, they change their personalities to fit their jobs. For example, scientists should be strict; doctors should be very patient and warm-hearted while artists should be active and creative. These special personalities are shaped during their long period of work. 1. What is the article about? A. Nature. B. Society. C. Personality. 2. Peter is an impatient person. His son is also an impatient person. Which saying can be used to describe their personality? A. Like father, like son. B. Easier said than done. C. Good minds think alike. 3. What may greatly influence students’ personalities at school? A. How the teachers treat them. B. How much time they spend on study. C. How long they get along with friends. 4. Why do people change their personalities when they get a job? A. To get a good education. B. To get along with others. C. To fit their jobs. 5. Which part of the newspaper can we read the text from? A Health. B. Education. C. Fashion. B I was sitting in a Beijing cafe drinking a coffee with my friend. We were at a table looking out a window into a hutong. Many people were walking past us, but one Chinese couple stopped and stared. I smiled and waved back. Then, to my surprise, they took a photo of us! The lady even came up to the window and posed in front of us for another photo. It was very funny and we were all laughing. A few weeks later I was visiting the beautiful coastal city of Xiapu with two friends. People stared at us and wanted to say hello everywhere we went. It was like we were famous people! So why were we getting so much attention? I think it’s because even though there are many foreigners, like me, living in China today, they are still kind of “rare (罕见的)”. This is especially true in smaller cities, where there are fewer foreigners. This is probably why we were so popular in Xiapu, but didn’t get as much attention in Beijing. But China is not the only place this happens. I have traveled to India, Brazil, Peru and even the United States and been treated differently, too. Brazilians and US people always want to talk with you, but Indians are by far the most curious (有好奇心的). When I visited, children and adults were always staring and taking pictures. The best way to deal with it is just to smile, laugh and enjoy it! 6. What did the writer do when the couple first stared at him in Beijing? A. He looked at other people. B. He smiled and waved to them. C. He posed for another photo. 7. What happened when the writer visited Xiapu? A. He became famous. B. He said sorry to everyone. C. He caught the attention of many people. 8. Why did the writer think they were more popular in Xiapu than Beijing? A. Because Xiapu sees fewer foreigners. B. Because people in Xiapu are more friendly. C. Because many foreigners work in coastal cities like Xiapu. 9. When the writer traveled to the US, people there enjoyed ______. A. talking with him B. staring at him C. laughing at him 10. What’s the best title of this passage? A. Traveling in China B. A Foreigner’s Experience in China C. A Foreign Traveler’s Feelings C “You pretty, he ugly. You swan, he frog!” Foreign people just love this funny English sentence going around the Chinese Internet. It all started when a foreign girl named Kris posted a sad photo online. It looked like her boyfriend made her cry. Some nice Chinese people tried to cheer her up. They asked her to find someone better. Some made funny Chinglish to make her feel happy, such as “You swan, he frog.” This became a hit with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures with it. “I need Chinese netizens (网友) in my life to call the people that have hurt me frogs,” said a foreign Internet user, showing her love for the expression. Some of them wanted to know why Chinese people use “swan” and “frog” to describe this couple. After looking into it, they learned that it came from the famous old Chinese story of the beautiful swan and the ugly toad (癞蛤蟆), and got interested in the Chinese stories behind Chinglish. In the past, people often corrected those who spoke Chinglish because it was full of grammar mistakes. However, with globalization (全球化), people from different countries can now share their ideas more often. Different styles of speaking English are becoming common and even accepted. English with local touches can also be popular. For example, the well-known “add oil” has now appeared in the Oxford dictionary and people use it widely. The phrase shows Chinese culture. “Once I understood the full meaning, it became much funnier,” said Cody, a young man from New Zealand, when asked about “you swan, he frog”. “It’s great that more Chinese culture is being shared with the rest of the world,” he told China Daily. 11. Why did the sentence “You swan, he frog” become popular among foreigners? A. They found it funny and cool. B. They found it easy to remember. C. It shows that Chinese people are friendly. 12. What did some foreigners want to know about the sentence “You swan, he frog”? A. The grammar rules behind it. B. The reasons Chinese people love it. C. The old Chinese stories behind it. 13. How has globalization changed the way we use English? A. Made English grammar stricter. B. Made fewer grammar mistakes. C. Allowed more ways to speak English. 14. What does the underlined word “touches” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. examples B. styles C. people 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. Foreigners love Chinglish expressions about animals. B. Chinglish expressions are becoming popular among foreigners. C. Chinese people are getting better at speaking English. 第二节：短文还原（共5小题，每小题1分，共5分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容，将下面的句子还原到文章中，使短文内容完整。每个选项仅使用一次，有一个多余选项。请将答案标号涂卡。 China is a great country with more than 5,000 years of history. ____16____ They attract millions of tourists from all over the world every year.
