11．My daughter and I collected the empty cans and bottles in our home this morning．We had 6full garbage bags later so I knew we would be spending a bit more of time at the recycling center．When we got there，a man and his kids were also doing the morning recycling and were using wo of the four machines to recycle their plastic and cans．Luckily，we were able to use the 2remaining machines．
Of course，there were others that came，but when they saw the two families with garbage bags full of recycled things，they quickly left．However，one woman came in with just 5cans and looked as if she was in a hurry．So I stopped what I was doing and let her in to recycle her cans．Of course，she was grateful，and it felt good to let her go ahead of me．But that was not the whole story．
My daughter and I continued to work through the bags，but the plastic recycling machine stopped working because it was full．My daughter was left with nothing to do．The other family was still using the other two plastic recycling machines，but it seemed that they were almost done．I just told my daughter we would have to wait until they were done．But the man of the other family came through with another act of kindness．He offered to let us go ahead of him．I was really surprised，because we had more than 5bottles，but he didn't seem to mind．I happily accepted it．
It was great to give and then to get an act of kindness in turn．It was small，I didn't expect it，but it surely brightened up my day．

2．Learning About Different Cultures
Most of us live in a multicultural surroundings these days．Culture can bring us together，but it can also be a cause of division．How does our own culture affect the way we view others？What steps can we take to minimize problems？
Once my friend，who is of Greek origin，went to Sweden on business．He was sent by the head office in the US to introduce a new computer program to their branch office in Sweden．This newly created software would cut production cost in half and speed up the time from planning to production by 30percent，as well as make the finished product look better．After presenting this program to the managers and directors，he waited for their feedback．At first it was quiet．Then，the general manager said，"Hmm，this looks good．"in a flat voice．"Hmm，I agree，"said another．My friend was in shock．Later on，when he told this to me，he said，"My mother used expressions such as‘Fabulous!'and‘Marvelous!'．These people were presented with a multibillion-dollar program，and all they could say was"Hmm．Good．I don't understand it!"
What was the problem？Culture．What is an acceptable way of expressing excitement and joy in one country is not the same in another．The Swedes were thrilled，and they thought it was a fantastic computer program．They just had a different way of showing it．
Another example：I remember my mother always telling me to look at her when she was talking to me，especially if it was something important．It was a way of showing that I was paying attention in a respectful way．Now，my friend from Nigeria told me that she never allows her children to look at her when she is talking．"I want them to respect me，"she says．Who is right？Both．That's the beauty of culture．There is no such thing as right or wrong，good or bad culture．
Of course，one has to take into consideration people living nearby．It is true that a person has to adjust to the country where he chooses to live．On the other hand，when people move into our country，we can make an effort to get to know their culture．Ask them about their country； ask them why they do certain things or wear different clothes．It can be quite interesting，actually．This doesn't mean we have to like it，or live our lives in their way．But knowledge can definitely lead to fewer disagreements and more understanding between people．
When culture is understood and used in an appropriate way，it can give a person a feeling of belonging and security．You know what to do in different situations．For example：at the time of birth and death．Let's give place to culture．Try to know and understand other people's culture，and also try to analyze our own．Let's choose our own way of life．Above all else---let's live in peace with all men!


Title：Learning About Different Cultures
Introduction●Culture can not only bring people together but also （71）divide/separate them．

（72）Examples		●A friend of Greek origin was （73）shocked/surprised when he received ordinary feedback from some Swedish people．
●In some countries，looking at somebody when he/she is speaking is a way of showing （74）respect/politeness，while in Nigeria，it is the （75）opposite．

Facts		●People of different cultures have a different way of expressing themselves．
●All Cultures are right and good．That is where the （76）beauty of culture lies．


Solutions		●A person should be （77）considerate/thoughtful/nice/kind to the people around and learn about the local culture．
●People should also learn about the culture of those who have newly arrived．
●Learning about others'culture can be of （78）interest and can help reduce （79）disagreements/misunderstanding（s） between people．
Summary●Understanding others'culture can help people live （80）peacefully．

19．Looking back on my childhood，I get to believe that naturalists are born and not made．Although we were all brought up in the same way，my brothers and sisters soon threw away their pressed flowers and insects． Unlike them，I had no ear for music and languages． I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic．
 Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary．I have only the unclear memory of the house we lived in，of my room and my toys．Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents，aunts，uncles and cousins who gathered next door．But I do have a clear memory of the dogs，the farm animals，the local birds and，above all，the insects．
 I am a naturalist，not a scientist．I have a strong love of the natural world，and my enthusiasm（熱情） has led me into varied investigations（調(diào)查）．I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people's observations and discoveries．Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind．Suddenly you wonder you see the answer to the riddle（迷），because it all seems to fit together．This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books，which some might honour with the title of scientific research．
 But curiosity，a keen eye，a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist； one of the outstanding qualities required is self-discipline，a quality I lack．A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training，determination and a goal．A scientist，up to a point，can be made．A naturalist is born．If you can combine the two，you get the best of both worlds．
32．The first paragraph tells us that the authorC．
A．was born to a naturalist's family       
B．lost his hearing when he was a child
C．didn't like his brothers and sisters      
D．was interested in flowers and insects

A．he didn't live long with them          
B．he was fully busy observing nature      
C．the family was too large to remember   
D．he was too young when he lived with them
34． It can be inferred from the passage that the author wasD   
A．a(chǎn) naturalist but not a scientist          
B．more a good observer than a listener
C．no more than a born naturalist         
D．a(chǎn) scientist as well as a naturalist
35． The author says he's a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks heA．
A．lacks s ome of the qualities required of a scientist
B．he couldn't do mental arithmetic
C．he was brought up in a family of farmers
D．he was not knowledgeable enough．

3．Dear Cutie-Pie，
Recently，your mother and I were searching for an answer on Google．Half way through entering the question，Google returned a list of the most popular searches in the world．At the top of the list was"How to keep him interested．"
It surprised me a lot．I scanned several of the countless articles about how to be sexy and sexual，when to bring him a beer versus a sandwich，and the ways to make him feel smart and superior．
And I got angry．
Little One，it is not，has never been，and never will be your job to"keep him interested．"
Little One，your only task is to know deeply in your soul-in that unshakeable place that isn't upset by rejection and loss-that you are worthy of interest．
If you can trust your worth in this way，you will be attractive in the most important sense of the world：you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you．
Little One，I want to tell you about the boy who doesn't need to be kept interested，because he knows you are interesting．
I don't care if he can't play a bit of golf with me-as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you．I don't care if he doesn't follow his wallet-as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you．I don't care if he is strong-as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart．I couldn't care less how he votes-as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a place of respect in his heart．I don't care about the color of his skin．I don't care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no religion．
Little One，if you come across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common，we will have the most important thing in common：You．
Because in the end，Little One，the only thing you should have to do to"keep him interested"is to be you．
Your eternally interested guy，
Daddy
56．What shocked Daddy when he was surfing on the Internet？B
A．Girls'knowing nothing about trusting themselves．
B．Girls'giving priority to finding ways to please boys．
C．Girls'bringing foods and drinks to boys from time to time．
D．Girls'being upset by being rejected constantly．
57．Father thinks what is of primary importance to his daughter is toB．
A．keep the boy interested
B．know she deserves a boy's interest
C．a(chǎn)ttract a boy willing to invest all in her

3．The discovery of an ancient giant panda skull has confirmed its bamboo diet dates back more than 2 million years and may have played a key part in its survival．
A  Chinese-US research team reports its results today following studies on a fossil skull found in south China's Cuangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in 2001．
The six fossils unearthed in Jinyin Cave are dated between 2.4 and 2 million years ago，according to the report in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences，an influential US journal．
Jin Changzhu，of the chinese Academy of Sciences （CAS） and lead author of the paper，said the smaller fossil skull indicates the giant pandas were about a third smaller than today's pandas．
Researchers knew the panda reached its maximum size about 500，000 years ago，when it peaked，and then gradually became smaller．
Jin，a paleontologist （古生物學(xué)者） at the Institute of Vertebrate paleontology and Paleoanthropology （古人類學(xué)） attached to the CAS，said the size variation was a basic rule of evolution．
"A species tends to grow bigger when it reaches the peak of its population，but becomes smaller when numbers decline，"he said．
The dental remains of the skull，which is the oldest giant panda skull ever found，are similar to today's pandas，indicating the type of teeth that could munch （津津有味地嚼）mountains of bamboo．A panda can eat up to 40kg of bamboo per day．
Paleoanthropologist Russell Ciochon，the US co-author at the University of lowa，said the panda's focus on bamboo could have helped it survive all these years．
"Once an animal begins to rely on a common and stable food source，such as bamboo，it tends to evolve a larger body size，"he said．"As individuals of the evolving species grow bigger，they have a better chance not to be eaten by predators （肉食動(dòng)物） due to their larger body size．"
33．According to the research of the CAS，there were most pandas in the worldC．
A.2 million years ago
B．between 2.4 and 2 million years ago
C.500，000 years ago
D．Nowadays
34．The underlined word"variation"in para 6 meansB．
A．fall           B．change       C．increase       D．decrease
35．From the passage，we can learnB．
A．pandas began to eat bamboo 2 million years ago
B．a(chǎn) species tends to grow smaller when numbers decline
C．the giant pandas were about a third the size of today's pandas
D．pandas'bamboo has played an important role in its development．
