Once I had 40 a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both 41 , saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he 42 me back.

第三节：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一部分

A

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal（信号）. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.

Different cultures emphasize（强调）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job．In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.

Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand．I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled．After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.

Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.

People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

56．In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _______.

A．develop closer relations B．share the same culture

C．get to know each other D．keep each other company

57． The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _______.

A．the English prefer to make long speeches

B．too many words are of no use

C．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature

D．even talk and silence can be culturally different

58．According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?

A．By sharing different ways of life. B. By accepting different habits.

C．By recognizing different values. D. By speaking each other' s languages.

59．What would be the best title for the text?

A．Multicultural Environment. B．Cross-Cultural Differences.

C．How to Understand Each Other. D．How to Build Up a Relationship.

My parents taught me not to waste food. My mom always found ways to make leftovers (剩余物) taste good. I went to Ilan to learn about some of their special foods. As I was there, I learned about the food and the history of the area. I learned that they don't waste food, either, and they use leftovers!

Many years ago, there was not enough food for everyone. People learned to cook and eat almost everything. They had to think of ways to make special dishes. One of these dishes is kao zha. It's made with leftovers like meat, soup, oil and fat. That might not sound very good, but it does taste good. Today, kaozha is a special dish at big banquets.

Another famous dish is called zaobing. It's made with fruit, meat and other things. I really liked it! But I didn't want to eat too much. It has a lot of fat in it.

I smelled something burning and I saw smoke, so I found another special food of the Ilan area---duck meat. The duck meat is put in a big oven ( 炉子) to cook it. Smoke keeps the meet fresh. I don't usually eat meat, but this duck meat was delicious! It tasted sweet.

Ilan is a great place with delicious food. I hope I can come back again!
