The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two ______ systems on the whole.
The ______ of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are gestated(孕育) by rivers. In China, the mother river is the Yellow River _____ the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own _____. Then in Dang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture _____ went overseas to Japan, _____ into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same ______.
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another famous culture was ______ on the Mesopotamian Plain ---- the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known ______ the base of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European one also ______ waters. When the colonists of England _____ in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't _______ from the European one a lot.
At the same time, the difference of the language systems _______ the cultural differences. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language (see the picture below) while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system, for example, the one I’m using to write this paper.
Other factors like human race difference counts as well. But what’s more, ______ the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no ______ from the other.

Research has shown that two-thirds of human conversation is taken up not with discussion of the cultural or political problems of the day, not heated debates about films we've just watched or books we've just finished reading, but plain and simple ____.
Language is our greatest treasure as a species, and what do we ____ do with it? We gossip. About others' behaviour and private lives, such as who's doing what with whom, who's in and who's out-and why; how to deal with difficult ____ situations involving children, lovers, and colleagues.
So why are we keen on gossiping? Are we just natural ____, of both time and words? Or do we talk a lot about nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the really important issues of life? It's not the case according to Professor Robin Dunbar. In fact, in his latest book, Grooming, Gossip and the Evolution of Language, the psychologist says gossip is one of these really____issues.
Dunbar ____ the traditional view that language was developed by the men at the early stage of social development in order to organize their manly hunting activities more effectively, or even to promote the exchange of poetic stories about their origins and the supernatural. Instead he suggests that language evolved among women. We don't spend two-thirds of our time gossiping just because we can talk, argues Dunbar—____, he goes on to say, language evolved specifically to allow us to gossip.
Dunbar arrived at his cheery theory by studying the ____ of the higher primates(靈長類動物)like monkeys. By means of grooming--cleaning the fur by brushing it, monkeys form groups with other individuals on whom they can rely for support in the event of some kind of conflict within the group or____ from outside it.
As we human beings evolve from a particular branch of the primate family, Dunbar ____ that at one time in our history we did much the same. Grouping together made sense because the bigger the group, the greater the ____ it provided; on the other hand, the bigger the group, the greater the stresses of living close to others. Grooming helped to ____ the pressure and calm everybody down.
But as the groups got bigger and bigger, the amount of time spent in grooming activities also had to be ____ to maintain its effectiveness. Clearly, a more ____ kind of grooming was needed, and thus language evolved as a kind of vocal(有聲的)grooming which allowed humans to develop relationship with ever-larger groups by exchanging information over a wider network of individuals than would be possible by one-to-one ____ contact.

【小題1】 
A.claim B.description C.gossip D.language 
 
【小題2】 
A.occasionally B.habitually C.independently D.originally

A.confirms B.rejects C.outlines D.broadens 
 
【小題7】 
A.for instance B.in addition C.on the contrary D.a(chǎn)s a result 
 
【小題8】 
A.motivation B.a(chǎn)ppearance C.emotion D.behaviour 
 
【小題9】

Flood damage cleanup is an unforgettable experience for me.

I have always felt      for the families that have become victims of flooding however I couldn’t imagine what they were      because I have never experienced flooding or flood damage cleanup at first      until two years back.
My      experience happened when I woke up early one morning because of the     of water. As I started to get out of bed to turn on the light, I felt cold muddy water at my     . I then realized that the power was     . This probably happened due to the heavy      and strong wind that were brought by a hurricane during the     .
As the rains stopped, I decided to do my flood damage cleanup     . Because I had only moved in the house and had only      a few belongings, the amount of damage was     . It involved only washing shoes and bags      soap and water.
It was a good thing that most of my things were      inside plastic buckets and most of the furniture that I bought was made of      and plastic. This made my flood damage cleanup a lot easier. My cleanup work only      the removal of mud from the apartment floors. It was  also a good thing that the      had hardwood floors.

In my profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that    1   AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been       in my life. They have taught me so many things, but I have        learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler.
Tyler was born      with HIV. From the        beginning of his life, he was       on medications to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a     surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he        in a small backpack on his back. Medications were hooked up to this pump and were        supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his      .
Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this        disease. It was not       to find him playing and racing around his backyard. Tyler's mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in       . That way, when she looked out of the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly        him.
This dreaded disease        wore down Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately,      did his HIV-infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn't going to survive, Tyler's mom talked to him about death. She       him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon     .
A few days before his death, Tyler asked me to his hospital bed and      , "I might die soon. I'm not scared. When I die, please       me in red. Mom promised she's coming to heaven, too. I'll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me."
