They listen to what people say and they try to do what they hear. They use a language and by talking in it all the time, they will learn it more quickly. It is also important to remember that we learn our own language by hearing people speak it, and by seeing what they write.

Kate was ill last month and missed one whole week's school lessons.At first,she only had a small
cough,but she thought it was nothing serious and kept eating cold ice cream after every meal.She also
liked wearing thin coats even on cold windy days.She spent most nights staying up to finish online
homework and watch short videos until midnight.
Three days later,her cough turned into a bad cold with high fever and sore throat.Her parents took her
to the hospital.The doctor checked her carefully and said her poor lifestyle caused her illness.The doctor
gave her some medicine and made three strict rules for her:stop all cold food,sleep before 22:00 every
night and take a 20-minute walk after dinner each day.
Kate followed the doctor's advice strictly.She gave up ice cream and junk food,ate more apples and

Emojis(表情符号)are a fun way to express ourselves while sending messages.But did you know that
the same emoji can mean very different things in different cultures?This can cause misunderstandings or
even trouble if you're not careful enough.Let's take a closer look at some emojis and their surprising
cultural meanings.
Let's start with the thumbs-up(竖大拇指)emoji..n many Western countries,people use it widely to
show agreement or to praise a job well done.However,in some parts of the Middle East,West Africa and
South America,people see it as rude,similar to giving someone the middle finger (
The OK hand sign also has many kinds of cultural meanings.In the US and Europe,it simply means
"everything is fine"or "perfect".However,people in Brazil and Turkiye think it is an impolite gesture
)Even more interestingly,in France,it stands for "zero"or "nothing".Clearly,this emoji's meaning
truly changes a lot across different cultures!
The folded hands emoji also carries different meanings.In Western cultures,many people take it as a
high-five-a gesture of celebration.But in most Asian cultures,it is a way to express thanks or greet others.
The crossed fingers emoji can also get you into trouble.In the UK,the US and Canada,crossing
fingers is a common way to wish someone good luck.However,in Vietnam,you'd better think twice before
using the gesture,as it has an unexpected negative meaning there.
Understanding these cultural differences can help avoid misunderstandings when communicating
across cultures.
1.In which part of the world do people think the thumbs-up is rude?
第3页
A.Asia.
B.The Middle East.
C.North America.
D.Australia.
2.Which of the following has the most meanings according to the article?
3.What should people avoid doing when meeting someone from Vietnam?
A.Using folded hands to say thanks.
B.Giving the thumbs-up to praise them.
C.Crossing fingers for good luck.
D.Making the OK sign for perfection.
4.What is the main purpose of this article?
A.To encourage people to use emojis widely
B.To suggest some new ways to use emojis.
C.To introduce the development of emojis.
D.To explain emojis'different cultural meanings
D
The world culture includes not only the customs of our society,its art,music,but also everyday
activities.Many people believe their traditional ways of life are under threat (and that something
should be done.Yet for some,the losing of culture is a natural result of globalization()and progress.
So is the globalization of culture a threat or a chance?
Those who see globalization as a threat argue that societies are losing special parts of their cultures.
For example,Omotik,a language spoken in East Africa,has only 50 live speakers.There are also
increasing fears in China,where the losing of musical and dance traditions,as well as traditional crafts,is
causing concern to many.Some argue that it is hard to find differences between London and Tokyo.Young
people,whose ideas are often influenced by Western or other popular cultures,often refuse or even give up
the traditions their parents grew up with.
共6页
Others focus on the advantages of globalization.They accept that Western culture is spreading,but
they also point to how Western countries and many other parts of the world are being shown to world
cultures.Young Americans enjoy Japanese comic magazines and watch Korean movies.Thai teenagers
enjoy pop music from Hong Kong.Many argue that there are advantages to these cross-cultural exchanges
and that they lead to better understandings between cultures.They say world traditions are celebrated more
widely because of these.Chinese New Year,now celebrated in most big cities around the world,is just one
of the many festivals that are accepted internationally.
Anyway,many local organizations and governments are trying to protect their cultures.One
successful example is Wales.There was a time when social pressures were killing off the Welsh language,
but after years of efforts,it is now an active part of Welsh life again.Around the world,similar efforts are
going on.
1.What is causing societies to lose their special parts of cultures?
A.Western culture.
B.Population growth.
C.Globalization and progress
D.Population decrease.
2.Why is it hard to tell the differences between London and Tokyo?
A.People in the UK love Japanese comic.
B.They are speaking the same language.
C.Both of them are influenced by Chinese and American culture.
D.They look similar because they may give up their own traditions.
3.What does the underlined word"they"in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Advantages.
B.Cross-cultural exchanges.
C.World traditions.
D.Better understandings.
4.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A.Culture Changes
B.Threats to Culture
C.Culture Protection
D.Exchanges of Cultures

Kate was ill last month and missed one whole week’s school lessons. At first, she only had a small cough, but she thought it was nothing serious and kept eating cold ice cream after every meal. She also liked wearing thin coats even on cold windy days. She spent most nights staying up to finish online homework and watch short videos until midnight.
Three days later, her cough turned into a bad cold with high fever and sore throat. Her parents took her to the hospital. The doctor checked her carefully and said her poor lifestyle caused her illness. The doctor gave her some medicine and made three strict rules for her: stop all cold food, sleep before 22:00 every night and take a 20-minute walk after dinner each day.
Kate followed the doctor’s advice strictly. She gave up ice cream and junk food, ate more apples and cabbages. One week later, her body got well little by little. Now she always tells her classmates: good daily habits are the cheapest medicine to keep away from sickness.

Emojis (表情符号) are a fun way to express ourselves while sending messages. But did you know that the same emoji can mean very different things in different cultures? This can cause misunderstandings or even trouble if you’re not careful enough. Let’s take a closer look at some emojis and their surprising cultural meanings.
Let’s start with the thumbs-up (竖大拇指) emoji. In many Western countries, people use it widely to show agreement or to praise a job well done. However, in some parts of the Middle East, West Africa and South America, people see it as rude, similar to giving someone the middle finger (手指).
The OK hand sign also has many kinds of cultural meanings. In the US and Europe, it simply means “everything is fine” or “perfect”. However, people in Brazil and Türkiye think it is an impolite gesture (手势). Even more interestingly, in France, it stands for “zero” or “nothing”. Clearly, this emoji’s meaning truly changes a lot across different cultures!
The folded hands emoji also carries different meanings. In Western cultures, many people take it as a high-five—a gesture of celebration. But in most Asian cultures, it is a way to express thanks or greet others.
The crossed fingers emoji can also get you into trouble. In the UK, the US and Canada, crossing fingers is a common way to wish someone good luck. However, in Vietnam, you’d better think twice before using the gesture, as it has an unexpected negative meaning there.
Understanding these cultural differences can help avoid misunderstandings when communicating across cultures.
1.In which part of the world do people think the thumbs-up is rude?
A.Asia. B.The Middle East.
C.North America. D.Australia.
2.Which of the following has the most meanings according to the article?
A. B. C. D.
3.What should people avoid doing when meeting someone from Vietnam?
A.Using folded hands to say thanks.
B.Giving the thumbs-up to praise them.
C.Crossing fingers for good luck.
D.Making the OK sign for perfection.
4.What is the main purpose of this article?
A.To encourage people to use emojis widely.
B.To suggest some new ways to use emojis.
C.To introduce the development of emojis.
D.To explain emojis’ different cultural meanings.
D
The world culture includes not only the customs of our society, its art, music, but also everyday activities. Many people believe their traditional ways of life are under threat(威胁)and that something should be done. Yet for some, the losing of culture is a natural result of globalization(全球化)and progress. So is the globalization of culture a threat or a chance?
Those who see globalization as a threat argue that societies are losing special parts of their cultures. For example, Omotik, a language spoken in East Africa, has only 50 live speakers. There are also increasing fears in China, where the losing of musical and dance traditions, as well as traditional crafts, is causing concern to many. Some argue that it is hard to find differences between London and Tokyo. Young people, whose ideas are often influenced by Western or other popular cultures, often refuse or even give up the traditions their parents grew up with.
Others focus on the advantages of globalization. They accept that Western culture is spreading, but they also point to how Western countries and many other parts of the world are being shown to world cultures. Young Americans enjoy Japanese comic magazines and watch Korean movies. Thai teenagers enjoy pop music from Hong Kong. Many argue that there are advantages to these cross-cultural exchanges and that they lead to better understandings between cultures. They say world traditions are celebrated more widely because of these. Chinese New Year, now celebrated in most big cities around the world, is just one of the many festivals that are accepted internationally.
Anyway, many local organizations and governments are trying to protect their cultures. One successful example is Wales. There was a time when social pressures were killing off the Welsh language, but after years of efforts, it is now an active part of Welsh life again. Around the world, similar efforts are going on.
1.What is causing societies to lose their special parts of cultures?
A.Western culture. B.Population growth.
C.Globalization and progress. D.Population decrease.
2.Why is it hard to tell the differences between London and Tokyo?
A.People in the UK love Japanese comic.
B.They are speaking the same language.
C.Both of them are influenced by Chinese and American culture.
D.They look similar because they may give up their own traditions.
3.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Advantages. B.Cross-cultural exchanges.
C.World traditions. D.Better understandings.
4.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A.Culture Changes B.Threats to Culture
C.Culture Protection D.Exchanges of Cultures

April 20 is the United Nations Chinese Language Day. It is a day to celebrate the beauty of the Chinese language and help more people around the world learn about Chinese culture. Many foreign students take part in activities like writing calligraphy, learning Chinese folk songs, and making paper cuttings on this day.
For example, a 16-year-old British girl named Lily joined a Chinese calligraphy competition last year. She wrote the characters “Ping An” (Peace and Safety) on a red paper fan. She said, “I learned Chinese because I want to talk with my pen pal in Shanghai. At first, I found the characters hard to write, but as soon as I kept practicing every day, I made great progress. I also learned that red means good luck in China, so I chose a red fan for my work.”
Teachers at the event said, “We hope students can understand that learning a language is not just about words. It’s also about the culture behind them. If they respect different cultures, they will find it easier to communicate with people from all over the world.”

One possible version:
Dear Jack,
I am glad to hear that you are going to study in China as an exchange student this year.
To help you get ready, let me tell you about some Chinese customs first. People usually shake hands when meeting, and we eat meals with chopsticks. It's polite to wait for elders to start eating at the table. For Chinese learning, you can talk with local students as much as possible, listen to Chinese songs, and watch short Chinese videos to practise listening. Don't worry too much. I believe you will fall in love with life in China soon, and I'm always here to help you with any problem.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Yours,
Li Hua
