From different TV programs or books about ancient times,we can often hear titles like
guarzi and kaimo.In fact,they are so popular that people regard them as part of ancient
Chinese history and culture.What do these Chincse titles refer to?Have you ever wondered
what the stories behind these titles are?
Chinese people in the past or even sometimes today call their sons quarzi.When Chinese
parents use quarzi to refer to their sons,they are being modest().Although most parents
do think their children are successful,they try to belittle them in front of other people.This is
similar to how some rich Chinese people call their big houses hanshe,which means "my poor
home".
Although people are modest about themselves,they respect others a lot.They call their
own sons quarzi,but call others'sons linglang,a respectful way to say "your son".
In Chinese,kaimo means the "role model".Both of these Chinese characters have a
on their left side.People believe that kai and mo were two kinds of trees in ancient China.It
was said that there were many kai trees growing near Confucius'tomb ()The kai trees
were so straight that they made people think of Confucius'character-straight and honest.
People believed that the mo trees grew near the tomb of the Duke of Zhou.Similarly,the color
of the mo tree's leaves made the tree a symbol of integrity (H).
Since the kai and mo trees grew near the tombs of the two respected people,kaimo was
then used to refer to role models.
4.Ancient Chinese used the title to introduce their son to others in a modest way.
A.quanzi B.kaimo C.hanshe D.linglang
5.What does the underlined word "belittle"mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Push sb.to move quickly.B.Provide sb.with some advice.
C.Make sb.seem unimportant.
D.Give sb.some encouragement.
6.Which of the following about kaimo is NOT true?
初四英语期中质量检测第2页(共8页)
A.It refers to the role models.
B.It's from the kai and mo trees.
C.We can use it to describe honest people.
D.We see it as a symbol of modesty.
7.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The importance of ancient Chinese culture.

In English classes,we spend a large amount of time studying grammar and learning new
words.We work hard to improve our reading and listening skills.Few of us,however,pay
enough attention to body language.So body language is not important,is it?
The answer is,"Yes!"As the old saying goes,"Actions speak louder than words."
Sometimes,we can communicate things even without a single word.For example,
shrugging(our shoulders,and,without a word,we've just said,"I don't know."
Body language can help us stress what we are saying.It can help us express our true
inner feelings.Moreover,body language can help us find out if someone is lying.Often,
people who are lying do not make eye contact().They may turn away or raise their
shoulders because they are uncomfortable with the conversation.
Injob interviews,the interviewers can sometimes size up the interviewee before he or
she speaks.Body language is important in our personal lives,too.It can show if you really
carc about your friends.Leaning()forward into the conversation,for example,means
you are interested in what is being said.Listening without making eye contact means you are
not paying attention but are waiting for your turn to speak.
Scientists have been studying body language for a long time.They say more than 70 per
cent of our messages are delivered through body language.Sometimes,body language is more
exact than the words we use.
So it is very important for us to learn body language.By understanding body language,
we are less likely to be misunderstood.We will find it easier to get a job.We will also have
lasting friendships.

On the days when the weather is fine,Legerena Wagner drives 45 minutes to a water
station in Sweetwater,the Navajo Nation.She goes there to fill her water containers.Back
home,Wagner and her family usc the water carefully.
Wagner is one of more than two million
Americans who do not have running water at home.
Most of these people are local Americans.They don't
have the money to buy new water systems.
The Navajo Nation is the largest Local American
community in the United States.Water has long been
thought of as a luxury(著侈品)there.About300,000
people live in the Navajo Nation.One-third of them do
not have running water.They cannot use water at a
sink(水or flush toilets(抽水马桶)at home.
In Sweetwater,the spring water was famous for its natural taste.Now,many of the
springs have dried up.The local people say this is a result of climate change.Using oil and
natural gas has caused the Earth to become warmer.Rising temperatures could result in more
dry weather in some areas,such as the Navajo Nation.
Those without running water in the Navajo Nation have to drive long distances to a well
or a water station to get water.That water,however,might be unsafe.Some water sources
have been polluted.Sometimes,people buy bottled water from a store that is an hour's drive
away.
Wagner is worried that many people in other places are still wasting lots of water every
day."Water is life,"she said."We must not waste water,or water shortages will become more
and more serious."

pen to fight social unfaimess and gave voice to the poor.His works led to many important
