CAMBRIDGE – A teenager is being hailed as a hero for saving his aunt from a fire at their house, but he lost his own life when he went back into the burning building to search for the family’s two cats, authorities say.

Seth A. DeShane, 14, pronounced dead late Thursday at the family home, which was destroyed in the fire.

“He really saved his aunt,” said the Rev. Kris Dietzen, pastor（牧师）at Cambridge Lutheran church. “He woke his aunt up and told her the Christmas tree was on fire.”

“He got her out of the house. She thought he （Seth） was behind her, but he went back inside.”

Dietzen said that when Seth’s aunt realized the boy had gone back inside, she tried to get back in herself, but by then the smoke was so thick and the fire so intense, she had to leave the house.

“She ran to a neighbor’s farm, and they proceeded（接着）to call 911,” Dietzen said.

The fire is being blamed on malfunctioning lights on the Christmas tree on the first floor, Chief Edward Bole of the Cambridge Fire Department, said. The front half of the two – story home was fully engulfed（吞没）when firefighters arrived.

36．Choose the best title for the story.

A．Teen dies trying to save cats from fire B．Teen saved his aunt.

C． A fire destroyed the building D．The boy hailed as a hero.

A．she delayed phoning the fire department B．she was at a loss in time of danger

C．she was selfish D．the fire was too fierce

" Culture consists of all shared products of human society" ( Robertson, 1981). This means not only such material things as cities, organizations and schools, but also non-material things such as ideas, customs, family patterns, languages. Putting it simply, culture refers to the entire way of life of a society, "the ways of a people".　　Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it. Some social scientists consider it the keystone of culture. Without language, the maintaining(延续) of culture would not be possible. On the other hand, language is influenced and shaped by culture, it reflects culture. In the broadest sense, language is the symbolic representation of a people, and it comprises(包含) their historical and cultural backgrounds, as well as their approach to life and their ways of living and thinking.　　We should not go further into the relationship between language and culture. What needs to be stressed here is that the two interact, and that understanding of one requires understanding of the other.　　Social scientists tell us that cultures differ from one another, that each culture is unique. As cultures are diverse, so languages are diverse. It is only natural then that with differences in cultures and differences in languages, difficulties often arise in communicating between cultures and across cultures. Understanding is not always easy.　　Learning a foreign language well means more than merely mastering the pronunciation, grammar, words and idioms. It means learning also to see the world as native speakers of that language see it, learning the ways in which their language reflects the ideas, customs, and behaviors of their society, learning to understand their "language of the mind". Learning a language, in fact, is inseparable from learning its culture.39. According to the first paragraph, the term "culture" refers to_________.　 A. things like cities, organizations and schools　 B. ideas, customs, family patterns, and languages　 C. all things produced by human race　 D.the total that constitute a society40. The second paragraph tells about_________. A. the role language plays in culture

B. the relationship between language and culture C. the influence culture has on language D. the representation of culture41. There will be no difficulty in communication if_________.　A .people from different countries can speak each other ' s languages　B. people from different countries can know each other ' s cultures　C.people from different countries can know each other ' s languages and cultures　D. there were no difference between the two cultures42. The last paragraph mainly talks about ______.

A. Learning social science through society itself.

B. Learning a language through its culture,

C. Learning a culture
