One important variable affecting communication across cultures is destiny (命運) and personal responsibility. This refers to the degree to which we feel ourselves the masters of our lives, contrary to the degree to which we see ourselves as subject to things outside our control. Another way to look at this is to ask how much we see ourselves able to change and act, to choose the course of our lives and relationships. Some have drawn a parallel between the personal responsibility in North American settings and the view itself. The North American view is vast, with large spaces of unpopulated land. The frontier attitude of “King” of the wilderness, and the expansiveness of the land reaching huge distances, may relate to generally high levels of confidence in the ability to shape and choose our destinies.

In this expansive land, many children grow up with a heroic sense of life, where ideas are big, and hope springs forever. When they experience temporary failures, they are encouraged to redouble their efforts, to “Try, try again.” Action, efficiency, and achievement are valued and expected. Free will is respected in laws and enforced by courts.

Now consider places in the world with much smaller land, whose history reflects wars and tough struggles: Northern Ireland, Mexico, Israel, Palestine. In these places, destiny’s role is more important in human life. In Mexico, there is a history of hard life, fighting over land, and loss of homes. Mexicans are more likely to see struggles as part of their life and unavoidable. Their passive attitude is expressed in their way of responding to failure or an accident by saying “ni modo” (“no way” or “tough lick”), meaning that the failure was destined.

This variable is important to understanding cultural conflicts. If someone believing in free will crosses paths with someone more passive, miscommunication is likely. The first person may expect action and responsibility. Failing to see it, he may conclude that the second is lazy, not cooperative, or dishonest. The second person will expect respect for the natural order of things. Failing to see it, he may conclude that the first is forcible, rude, or big headed in his ideas of what can be accomplished or changed.

1.The author thinks that one’s character is partly determined by ________.

A．physical senses                         B．general attitude

C．financial background                     D．geographic characteristics

2.According to the passage, Mexicans would think that Americans are ________.

A．impractical        B．dishonest          C．a(chǎn)mbitious         D．hesitant

3.The underlined word “subject” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

A．a(chǎn) topic of a discussion                    B．a(chǎn) branch of knowledge

C．a(chǎn) person being experimented on           D．a(chǎn) person under the power of others

4.The author would probably agree that ________.

A．vast land may lead to a more controllable desire

B．heroic sense of life roots deeply in a small country

C．living in limited space contributes to an accepting attitude

D．fighting over land helps people gain high levels of confidence

If your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, he’d better offer you more money to do so — or even double that depending on where you live now．That’s because Moscow has just been found to be the world’s most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting．

Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34．4 percent more expensive including the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment．

A two-bedroom flat in Moscow now costs $4,000 a month; a CD $24．83, and an international newspaper $6．30, according to Mercer．By comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger （漢堡包） is a steal at $4．80．

London takes the No．2 place, up from No．5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar．Mercer estimates （估算） London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days．Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of which are 22 percent more expensive than New York, while No．5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly．

Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the world’s most expensive cities．But both have fallen since last year’s study — New York came in 15th, down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year ago．San Francisco came in a distant third at No．54, down 20 places from a year earlier．

Toronto, meanwhile, is Canada’s most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide．In Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in and No．21 worldwide．

1.What do the underlined words “a steal” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．a(chǎn)n act of stealing   B．something delicious

C．something very cheap                     D．a(chǎn)n act of buying

2.London has become the second most expensive city because of ______．

A．the high cost of clothing

B．the stronger pound against the dollar

C．its expensive transportation

D．the high prices of fast food meals

3.Which city is the third most expensive on the list?

A．Tokyo．              B．Hong Kong．      C．Moscow．         D．Sydney．

4.Which city has dropped most on the list in North America?

B

South Korea has offered about 10,000 tons of corn to North Korea, in what would be the first official aid to its hungry neighbor for almost two years．The South also offered 20 tons of milk powder and medicine for children, pregnant women and other vulnerable people, its unification ministry said．The proposed shipmen would be through the Red Cross．It would be the first official one since a conservative government came to power in Seoul in February 2008．The South Korean administration of President Lee Myung-bak has linked major assistance to progress on denuclearisation．

However, after months of bitter hostility, the communist North began making peace overtures（提議，提案） to the South in recent months．Persistent media reports have also said the two sides have held preliminary talks about a possible summit．

The amount of food aid on offer is tiny relative to the needs in what the United Nations recently described as the famine-hit North．A third of North Korean women and young children are malnourished（營養(yǎng)不良的） and the country will run short of almost 1．8 million tons of food this year, the United Nations World Food Program said in a report last month．The unification ministry admitted it was far less than needed but said the North must mend relations before shipments could be increased．

"We cannot say 10,000 tons is sufficient in view of North Korea's food shortage and other conditions," said ministry spokeswoman Lee Jong-Joo．"We are providing purely humanitarian aid," she said．

"There is no change in our position that massive food aid depends on how relations between the two Koreas develop," she said．North Korea has yet to respond to the latest offer, made through the Red Cross．But Yonhap news agency said it was likely co-ordinated in advance before the announcement．

Last year the South offered 50,000 tons of corn, but the North rejected the shipment amid high tensions．

North Korea has relied on food aid from China, South Korea and aid agencies to feed millions of its people since a famine in the 1990s resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands．

50．How would North Korea be offered about 10,000 tons of corn from South Korea?

A．North Korea would buy corn from South Korea．

B．North Korea would exchange with South Korea．

C．The offer would be through the Red Sea．．

D．The offer would be through an international organization

51．About whether South Korea would go on offering assistance, we can infer from the passage that________________．

A．they would go on without any condition

B．they would go on if there was a famine in North Korea

C．it depended on how their relation would develop

D．it depended on whether North Korea needed it

52．How did North Korea survive since a famine in the 1990s?

A．They depended on the international aid from all other countries

B．They developed their agriculture to increase the production

C．They expanded the agricultural land

D．They relied on food aid from China, South Korea and aid agencies

53．What is the main idea of the passage?

A． It’s about the aid to South Korea from North Korea

B．It tells about the help between South Korea and North Korea

C．It’s about the help to the Poor

D．It tells about an action of the Red Cross

World Wrestling Entertainment is the largest professional wrestling organization in North America. It was called World Wrestling Federation until it changed its name because of a legal dispute. Its more than one hundred wrestlers fight each other in competitive matches that are written and practiced before they are performed.

Professional wrestlers are athletes but act as entertainers. They are not seeking athletic records, but instead want to excite an audience. To do this, they use unusual names and wear special clothing during wrestling matches. These wrestlers include the Stone Cold Stunner and the Undertaker.

Most professional wrestling matches are between two men or two women. They fight inside an area called a ring that is separated from the audience by ropes. Each match continues until one wrestler forces the other's shoulders to the floor and holds them there for a count of three. Most World Wrestling Entertainment matches continue for only about four to seven minutes.

An organization official called a promoter decides before the match who will win. But who wins and who loses is not the important thing in professional wrestling. The important thing is that the audience enjoys the pretend fight. Some wrestlers rarely win, but continue to be popular.

Not all wrestling matches are between two people. Some are called tag team matches and involve teams of two, three or four wrestlers. Another kind of match is called a battle royal. It involves thirty to sixty wrestlers competing against each other. A wrestler loses when he or she is thrown out of the ring. The winner is the last wrestler still standing.

1.Why did World Wrestling Federation change its name?

A．Because audience didn’t like it.

B．Because maybe there was another name similar to it.

C．Because they wanted their name more unusual.

D．Because the name was out of date.

2. Professional wrestlers’ main aim is to _______.

A．excite the audience

B．make a record

C．win a prize

D．win the match

3. As a whole, the third paragraph is _______.

A．entertaining

B．descriptive

C．instructive

D．persuasive

4. Which of the following statements is right according to the passage?

A．All professional wrestling matches are between two men or two women.

B．The wrestler who loses the match will lose popularity.

C．Wrestlers usually wear special clothing to look funny.

D．A wrestler who is thrown out of the ring will lose the match in all wrestling matches.
