We all know that language can sometimes get lost in translation. But do you know that some facial小題1:may also be小題2:in cross-cultural situations?
According to a study by Glasgow University, Europeans look小題3: a person's whole face 小題4:people from East Asia focus 小題5:on the eyes. Researchers recorded the eye movements of 13 Westerners and 13 Easterners as they observed pictures of expressive faces. They were asked to小題6:the pictures into the following categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral.
The team found East Asians focus much more attention on the eyes and also make a  小題7:number of mistakes. Different from Europeans, they小題8: to have a more difficult time  小題9: the difference between a face that looks fearful as opposed to surprised, and disgusted as opposed to angry.
"Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth小題10:, whereas Easterners小題11:the eyes and neglect the mouth," said researcher Rachael Jack. "This means that Easterners have小題12: in telling apart facial expressions that look similar around the eye region."
Jack said that the differences in eye movement reflected a cultural小題13:in the way people use their faces to express themselves. Easterners use the eyes more and the mouth 小題14: .
The difference in the use of text message "emoticons" (表情符號)小題15: the idea. Easterners use the eyes to小題16: emotion, for example "^-^" for happy and "┬_┬" for sad. Westerners,小題17:, use the mouth, for example ":-)" for happy and ":-(" for sad.
The researchers said their results showed communication between people is much more小題18: than previously thought. When it 小題19: communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners can find themselves小題20: in translation.

A
When I was young, I went looking for gold in California.I never found enough to make me rich.But I did discover a beautiful part of the country.It was called "the Stanislau".The Stanislau was like Heaven on Earth.It had bright green hills and deep forests where soft winds touched the trees.
Other men, also looking for gold, had reached the Stanislau hills of California many years before I did.They had built a town in the valley with sidewalks and stores, banks and schools.They had also built pretty little houses for their families.
At first, they found a lot of gold in the Stanislau hills.But their good luck did not last.After a few years, the gold disappeared.By the time I reached the Stanislau, all the people were gone, too.
Grass now grew in the streets.And the little houses were covered by wild rose bushes.Only the sound of insects filled the air as I walked through the empty town that summer day so long ago.Then, 1 realized I was not alone after all.
A man was smiling at me as he stood in front of one of the little houses.This house was not covered by wild rose bushes.A nice little garden in front of the house was full of blue and yellow flowers.White curtains hung from the windows and floated in the soft summer wind.
Still smiling, the man opened the door of his house and signed to me.1 went inside and could not believe my eyes.I had been living for weeks in rough mining camps with other gold miners.We slept on the hard ground, ate canned beans from cold metal plates and spent our days in the difficult search for gold.
Here in this little house, my spirit seemed to come to life again.
I saw a bright rug on the shining wooden floor.Pictures hung all around the room.And on little tables there were seashells, books and china vases full of flowers.A woman had made this house into a home.
The pleasure I felt in my heart must have shown on my face.The man read my thoughts."Yes," he smiled, "it is all her work.Everything in this room has felt the touch of her hand."
One of the pictures on the wall was not hanging straight.He noticed it and went to fix it.He stepped back several times to make sure the picture was really straight.Then he gave it a gentle touch with his hand.

Coyotes(叢林狼) used to live only in wide-open spaces of western prairies and deserts. They avoided forests, where wolves, their enemies, lived. But as forests were cleared to make room for farms and communities, coyotes started spreading east and west into they newly open territories.
Most coyotes are afraid  of people, so those living in cities have learned how to avoid being seen. Street-smart coyotes hunt for food between dusk and dawn, when few people are around. During the day, the animals rest in out-of-the-way spots. ”They ‘a(chǎn)re trying to avoid people as best  as they can ,” says a scientist studying coyotes around Chicago, Illinois
City life suits coyotes in several ways. There are no enemies such as mountain lions ,wolves ,or hunters. City coyotes eat well, too. Parks yards and green spaces in cities provide habitat for a feast of favorite coyote foods ,including mice ,rats and  rabbits . Coyotes also eat lots of fruits , With plenty of natural food and no-predators (捕食性動物), coyotes in urban areas are healthier, live longer and raise larger families than their country cousins.
Unfortunately, some city coyotes lose their fear of humans. They find tasty garbage of pet food outside homes. They notice that people ignore them instead of chasing them away. Some humans even feed coyotes on purpose, thinking it’s an act of kindness. Actually, it’s a serious mistake.
Coyotes that become comfortable around people and learn to associate buildings and yards with food are the ones that get into trouble. Some coyotes attack pets in yards. Sometimes a coyote may even chase or bite in a human. An animal that behaves in these ways must be removed by wildlife officials.
It’s people that change coyotes’ behavior. But we’re also the ones who can help them be good neighbors. We can teach them by not providing food for them, and by making sure they know there are certain area they’re not allowed. Can coyotes and people live more safely together in cities?
68. The first paragraph is to show______________
A. where coyotes used to live
B. what coyotes’ enemies are
C. why coyotes began to live in cities
D  that forests are making room for humans
69. Why does city life suit coyotes?
A. People are nice to them
B. There are more green spaces
C. There is enough good and no enemies
D  They can hunt for food at dusk
70. Some city coyotes are not afraid of humans maybe because______________
A. they are being protected by wildlife officials
B. people chase them away when seeing them
C. some people provide them with food sometimes
D they are allowed to stay indoors.
71. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To introduce a kind of wolf-coyotes to readers.
B. To persuade people to move away from where Coyotes live
C. To enjoy the harmony between coyotes and humans,
D To call on people to live more safely with coyotes.

Every Christmas, we visit my parents who live nearly 400 miles away from us. It is always 9 to 10-hour drive, but we always try to make it because that’s the only time my parents get to see their grandchildren.
One year, I was the driver, my wife Adriana was in the passenger seat, my three kids----Jacob, Ethan and Caleb----sat in the back seat, and our dog Susie was placed by the kids’ feet.
That year, we traveled at night to avoid the heavy holiday traffic. We left the house at about 9:00 in the evening, so we could get to my parents’ house by about 6:00 the next morning.
The first three hours was fine. My wife and kids were all fast asleep, including Susie who was lying on Jacob’s lap. But by around 1 am, I was very sleepy. So I stopped at a small convenience store and tried to wake myself up with a cup of coffee. The coffee helped for several miles. But soon I was drifting in and out of sleep. I closed my eyes for what felt like a very short moment. What I didn’t know was that I was slowly driving towards the other lane and that a truck was coming quickly towards us.
I had fallen asleep at the wheel when Susie roughly woke me up by jumping onto my lap. When I opened my eyes, I saw the glaring headlights of the truck heading towards our car. I quickly drove the car back to our lane. I had narrowly missed hitting the truck and getting my family into what could have been a very serious accident.
I checked everyone to see if they were OK, and they were still fast asleep. I drove the rest of the distance very alert and awake. As soon as we got there, I told my wife, my kids and my parents what Susie had done and we could not have been more proud of our dog.
56. Why does the author visit his parents with his family every Christmas?
A. Because Christmas is the only time he can relax every year.
B. Because his parents don’t like the 400-mile travel.
C. Because he missed his parents very much.
D. Because his parents can only see their grandchildren at that time.
57. What did the author do to wake himself up during the journey?
A. He got off the car to breathe the fresh air.
B. He stopped to have a cup of coffee.
C. He talked with his wife and children.
D. He stopped every few miles.
58. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. the author’s wife and kids had no idea about the narrow escape during the journey
B. the author was so frightened by the truck that he could hardly drive for the rest of the
journey
C. no one but Susie kept awake for the whole journey
D. the author had never experienced a car accident before
59. The passage tells us a story about ______.
A. a poor driver’s first driving experience
B. how the author’s family spent their Christmas
C. how a dog saved a whole family
D. the disadvantages of driving at night

Crossroads International
1.How does Crossroads work?
Crossroads is a resource network.We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them.We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena (福利院) in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa.  71 
2.Who do we help?
  72 They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it.They can’t get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task.Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets.They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.
3.  73 
Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget.We do not buy the goods we send.They are donated.  74  Nobody in our organization receives a salary.Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis.
Those that donate goods and services:
●Factories             ●Manufacturers
●Hospitals             ●Hotels
●Educational Institutions      ●Householders
●Transport Companies   ●Offices
●Other Charities
  75 While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.
A.One resource that we are always in need of is people.
B.So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.
C.What can I do?
D.The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets.
E.How do we operate?
F.All volunteer work is done at our warehouse.
G.Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight (貨運), we ask transport companies to donate their services.

The Worst Part
Mom is usually home on Sunday but this week she was going to a big golf game and I was all alone in the house. I was mad at Mom for divorcing Dad.
I kept looking at the telephone until I couldn’t stand it any longer. I picked up the receiver and dialed Dad’s number over in Bakersfield. I even remembered to dial 1 first because it was long distance. “You promised to phone me this week but you didn’t,” I said, feeling I had to talk to him.
“Take it easy, kid,” he said. “I just didn’t get around to it. I was going to call this evening. The week isn’t over yet.”
I thought about that.
“Something on your mind?” he asked.
“I hoped you would call, so I waited and waited.” Then I was sorry I said it.
“There was heavy snow in the morning,” he said, “I had to chain up on highway 80 and lost time.”
I know putting chains on eight big wheels in the snow is no fun. I felt a little better, as long as we were talking. “How is Bandit?” I asked.
There was a funny silence. For a minute I thought the line was dead. Then I knew something must have happened to my dog.
“Well, kid—”, he began. “My name is Leigh!” I almost yelled. “I’m not just some kid you met on the street!”
“Keep your shirt on, Leigh,” he said. “When I had to stop along with some other truckers to put on chains, I left Bandit out of the cab, I thought he would get back … I have sent out a call to CB radio, but I didn’t get an answer yet.” I was about to say I understood when there came the bad part, the really bad part. I heard a boy’s voice say, “Hey, Bill, Mom wants to know when we’re going out to get the pizza?”
41.From the story we know that______ .
       A.Leigh’s dad never had a rest on Sundays    B.Leigh was a deserted boy
       C.Leigh’s dad lived in another city          D.Leigh’s mother often went to golf games

       A.It was frozen to death.    B.It was let out of the cab and got lost
       C.It was killed by a truck.   D.It ran off Highway 80 and into the mountain.
43.The underlined sentence “Keep your shirt on” probably means “ ______ ”.
       A.Listen to reason        B.Stop talking  C.Calm down    D.Keep warm
44.The worst part in Leigh’s eyes may be that______ .

A new study has found that it may be possible to train people to be more intelligent, increasing the brainpower they had at birth.
Until now, it has been widely assumed that the kind of mental ability that allows us to solve new problems without having any relevant previous experience — what psychologists call fluid intelligence—is innate and cannot be taught(though people can raise their grades on tests of it by practicing).
But in the new study, researchers describe a method for improving this skill, along with experiments to prove it works.
The key, researchers found, was carefully structured training in working memory—the kind that allows memorization of a telephone number just long enough to dial it. This type of memory is closely related to fluid intelligence, so the researchers reasoned that improving it might lead to improvements in fluid intelligence.
First they measured the fluid intelligence of four groups of volunteers using standard tests. Then they trained each in a complicated memory task—the child’s card game, in which they had to recall a card they saw and heard. During the course, they needed to ignore irrelevant items, monitor ongoing performance, manage two tasks at the same time and connect related items to one another in space and time.
The four groups experienced a half-hour of training daily for 8, 12, 17 and 19 days, respectively. To make sure they were not just improving their test-taking skills, the researchers compared them with control groups that took the tests without the training.
The results, published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, were striking. Improvement in the trained groups was a lot greater. Moreover, the longer they trained, the higher their scores were. All performers, from the weakest to the strongest, showed significant improvement.
“Our results show you can increase your intelligence with proper training.” said Dr Jaeggi, a co-author of the paper. No one knows how long the gains will last after training stops, he added, and the experiment’s design did not allow the researchers to determine whether more training would continue to produce further gains.
64. The researchers thought the key to improving the intelligence was______.
A. memorizing telephone numbers                   B. improving working memory
C. training in concentration                               D. recalling a card
65. The following aspects of the training help increase intelligence Except_______.
A. ignoring irrelevant items                          B. monitoring ongoing performance
C. managing two tasks at the same time                D. using previous experience
66. When the experiment was conducted, the researchers ______.
A. trained the four groups for the same period of time
B. only made comparisons between the four groups
C. compared the four groups with control groups           D. trained the four groups together
67. By writing the article, the writer intends to_____.
A. inform the readers of a new study              
B. call on people to be trained to increase intelligence
C. prove one’s born brainpower can be improved
D. tell people the improved intelligence will last forever
