13．Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships．For example，in American culture，the smile is in general an expression of pleasure．Yet it also has other uses．A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child．A smile may show love or politeness．It can also hide true feelings．It often causes confusion across cultures．For example，many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper．Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places （although this is less common in big cities）．Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places； some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough．In Southeast Asian culture，a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings．Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile．
Our faces show emotions，but we should not attempt to"read"people from another culture as we would"read"someone from our own culture．The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions．Rather，there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted．For example，in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do．When with friends，Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly．
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States．People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others．The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different．If we judge according to our own cultural habits，we may make the mistake of"reading"the other person incorrectly．
25．What does the smile usually mean in the U．S？C
A．Love      
B．Politeness        
C．Joy       
D．Thankfulness
26．The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile canB．
A．show friendliness to strangers            
B．be used to hide true feelings
C．be used in the wrong places              
D．show personal habits
27．What should we do before attempting to"read"people？B
A．Learn about their relations with others       
B．Understand their cultural backgrounds
C．Find out about their past experience         
D．Figure out what they will do next
28．What would be the best title for the test？C
A．Cultural Differences                   
B．Smiles and Relationship
C．Facial Expressiveness                    
D．Habits and Emotions．

14．The best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy．His son or daughter whom he has brought up with loving care may prove ungrateful．Those who are nearest and dearest to us，those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name，may become traitors to our faith．The money that a man has he may lose．It flies away from him，perhaps when he needs it most．A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action．The people，who bend themselves to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us，may be the first to throw the stone of anger when failure settles its cloud upon our heads．
The one absolute，unselfish friend a man may have in this world，the one that never deserts him，the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous，is his dog．
A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty，in health and in sickness．It will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely，if only it can be near its master．It will kiss the hand that has no food to offer．It will lick the wounds and sores that caused by the roughness of the world．It guards the sleep of its pauper master as if he were a prince．When all other friends desert，the dog remains．When riches take wings and fame falls to pieces，the dog is as constant in its love as the sun in its journeys through the heavens．
If fate drives the master to be outcast，friendless and homeless，the faithful dog asks for no higher privilege than that of accompanying its master to guard him against danger，and to fight against his enemies．And when the last scene comes and death takes its master，the noble dog will be found lying by its master's cold body．No matter if all other friends of its master's pursue their own way，the noble dog will be found lying by its master's graveside，its head between its paws，its eyes sad，but open in alert watchfulness，and faithful even in death．

24．Which is true according to the passage？D
A．Our loved ones may abandon us when we are halfway to success
B．Those we ignored before may betray us now
C．What we lost will be returned when we make a name
D．Those who favored us may turn their back on us when we become losers
25．What can we learn from the passage？C
A．If only owners treat dogs lovingly dogs won't betray owners
B．Dogs kept by rich families show more loyalty to them
C．Dogs remain loyal to their owners unconditionally
D．A man's dog serves the owner more devotedly when he is in sickness
26．What does the underlined word probably mean in paragraph 3？B
A．patient       
B．beg      
C．millionaire       
D．employee
27．What method does the writer use to present his eulogy（禮贊）to dogs？A

9．The world moves so quickly nowadays．With so many daily responsibilities，some of us can hardly keep our heads above water．Should we make time for studying  or appreciating the arts？Many people would say the arts are nice，but not necessary．In school，students should focus on languages，math and science．Painting，drama and music are frills． After graduation，listening to Mozart won't lead you to a better-paying job．
     In truth，spending time learning to appreciate the arts may be more worthwhile than you think．A recent British study examined the salaries and jobs of people who spent time enjoying the arts when growing up．The researchers found those who enjoyed the arts from an early age had better jobs and higher salaries than those who didn't．What's the link？How could visiting a museum，enjoying a symphony，or honing painting skills lead to career success？It turns out that the arts help us develop many useful skills．
      Other students have found students studying the arts exercise their reasoning ability．The skill helps with problem-solving．Creative and critical-thinking abilities are also developed through art study．Moreover，those who enjoy the arts have more motivation（動機）to achieve．Students who practice an art experience the rewards that come from persistence and goal-setting．These benefits also extend to those who make time to appreciate the arts beyond their school years．The best kind of art stirs our imagination and makes us think．Paintings aren't just pretty pictures．They tell stories about the lives of the subjects or about the experience of the painter．See Michelangelo's art and you'll taste the power of his faith in God．Look at the world from Picasso's point of view，and you see everyday life in new ways．Those who appreciate the arts also gain a broader perspective on the world．The arts reveal and explain the world beyond our own personal knowledge which can help us better communicate and cooperate with other people．
      If you want to better yourself，go and enjoy the arts．Check out an art gallery or a museum．Take in a play．You won't regret it and it will do you more good than you can imagine．
32．The underlined word"frills"in paragraph 1 probably meansA．
A．decorations    B．necessities   C．fillings      D．possessions
33．The benefits of enjoying arts are all of the following EXCEPTB．
A．communicating skills              
B．high positions
C．problem-solving  abilities            
D．creation and imagination
34．How is the passage developed？A
A．By providing examples             
B．By analyzing causes
C．By listing the facts                 
D．By comparing the facts
35．What is the author's attitude towards art appreciation？D

6．We have a strange and strong belief in the idea of perfection．Driven by our culture，we struggle for an unattainable ideal：If I have the perfect parents，perfect grades，perfect…，then I would be happy．We seek what we can't have without remembering that we don't actually need to be perfect．Imperfection allows us to be human．
Parents，teachers and other high-achieving peers will have us believe that we must be perfect if we wish to remain competitive．However，what job or school requires you to develop a cure for some form of cancer by the age of 18？Although these grades would be admirable achievements，are they worth losing sleep over？We feel like we need the perfect grades to get into the perfect college that will provide us with the perfect education necessary to obtain the perfect job．Making use of our thirst for perfection，the whole college and career industries have emerged claiming to help us reach our goals．
Truth is，you only need to be good enough to get into the conversation．It is what you do afterwards that sets you apart．Focus more on your passions．Don't worry about anything secondary to your passions．You don't become an expert at anything if you spent your time trying to succeed in everything you do．You only become an expert when you devote your time to that one project that truly brings you joy．
As members of this society，we have a responsibility to be excellent in what we do，not perfect．Although perfection can be a goal，it should not be the only goal．We only have 24 hours in a day and seven days in a week．Thus，we need to plan what we want to do and cut out the activities we cannot do．
With everything，though，make sure you're doing enough．Pursuing your passions is not enough of a reason to completely give up on everything else．Try as hard as you can and let your future worry about itself．Worry about your task at hand and you will be successful in achieving your dreams．Most of all，remember that you're going to be okay．
8．It is implied in Paragraph 1 that there is a culture whereB．
A．Students are driven to learn concepts
B．great importance is attached to perfection
C．imperfect people aren't happy at all
D．perfect grades result from remembering facts
9．We can infer from the second paragraph thatD．
A．a(chǎn) perfect grade is worth losing sleep over
B．the whole college and career industries are perfect
C．some schools ask students to invent some medicine
D．someone is profiting from our search for perfection
10．According to the author，we shouldB．
A．see becoming perfect as our responsibility
B．deal with what we hope to do first
C．set a goal of perfection in our life
D．worry about our future dreams
11．What might be the most suitable title for the passage？B

3．Researchers from France and Italy discovered that Canadian parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy．
"Our most important finding was the difference between Canadians and the others，"said Professor Michel Claes，the lead author of the study．"Canadians focus on independence and negotiation．On the other hand，Italians，for example，exercise more control．We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict．"
Claes said Canada，F(xiàn)rance and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors．"We chose FrenchCanadians because they share the same language as France，and originally came from France and share certain values．Italy was included because it was considered to have similar，strong and important family values，"he explained．
The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1，256students aged 11to 19years old．
Canadian students reported less control and more free actions，according to the study．Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle．
Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada，F(xiàn)rance and Italy．
"North America has its own educational values，which promote individualization．Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged．Italy，on the other hand，promotes respect of authority，control，and the need for permission．"he said．
Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative．Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers，and reported high levels of emotional ties．But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold．
"We were surprised by this，"Claes admitted．"It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time，while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness，which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries．"
21．Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada，F(xiàn)rance and ItalyB．
A．have the same family spirit
B．have some similar cultural traditions
C．have experienced some similar social changes
D．have experienced similar cultural developments
22．How did the researchers carry out the study？B
A．By collecting answers of parents from Canada，F(xiàn)rance and Italy．
B．By collecting answers of children from Canada，F(xiàn)rance and Italy．
C．By questioning parents and their children from Italian Canadian families．
D．By  questioning  children  from  FrenchCanadian families．
23．According to Michel Claes，what mainly leads to the differences in parentchildren
relationships among Canada，F(xiàn)rance and Italy？C
A．Educational opportunities．
B．Traditional ideas．
C．Educational values．
D．Historical events．
