My friend took his colleague to see an art exhibition in north London.
The show was basically piles of breeze blocks (煤渣磚) forming armchair and sofa shapes, painted in primary colors.
Seeing these, the colleague said, “You brought me all the way out here to see this pile of junk when we could have been having a nice lunch?” He continued his rant about the work all the way back to the office.
When they got there my friend said, “You said you don’t like the work, but you haven’t stopped talking about it since you first saw it.”
Whether he liked it or not, he could not forget it.
If the artwork is fresh and new, you can’t expect to like it straightaway, because you have nothing to compare it with.
The effort of coming to terms with things you do not understand makes them all the more valuable to you when you do grasp them.
Good art speaks for itself. That doesn’t mean you have to like it.
So the next time you go to an art show, or look at anything for that matter, observe what effect it has on you and try to form your own opinion.
That way, you become the critic and not a mouthpiece for someone else’s opinions.
What does the colleague think about the art exhibition?
A. He feels it a waste of time going to the exhibition.
B. He is very interested in the work shown on the exhibition.
C. He is disappointed that art is abused on the exhibition.
D. He thinks his understanding about art is far better than the author of the work on the show.
The underlined word ‘rant’ means ________.
A. praise B. hatred C. complaint D. misunderstanding
Which of the following does NOT represent the author’s opinion about art?
A. Good art speaks for itself.
B. Good art doesn’t mean you have to like it.
C. It matters more what impression a piece of art work leaves on you.
D. Learn to be a mouthpiece for someone’s opinion matters more.
What suggestion does the author give for going to an art show?
A. Like it whether it is good or not.
B. Don’t compare it with anything.
C. Observe its effect and form your own opinion .

It can’t be true that when in Rome do as the Romans do. So here’s some necessary information for you on what you can talk with the local people in France, Australia and Switzerland, and different customs of these countries.
In France
You’ll find that conversations often turn into heated debates. Give opinions on subjects that you are knowledgeable about. There is rarely a moment of silence, except when the topic under discussion has been exhausting, and nothing new has been introduced.
Food, art ,music and current events or history are welcome topics. The French believe in freedom. You can criticize anyone, but not Napoleon, who is a symbol of French spirit, and never use the standard U.S. opening remark “ What do you do?”
In Australia
Australians tend to be enthusiastic debaters. A wide range of topics may be open to discussion, including religion and politics. The best policy, however, is to wait for Australian companions to bring up subjects: be prepared to hear their arguments.
Sport is a common topic of conversation in Australian and Australians tend to use sporting comparison. Australian like to criticize themselves, but they can’t stand criticism from others.
Don’t talk big. Australians prefer to judge your competence and abilities through your actions. People who show off their education in conversation may be subject to tease.
In Switzerland
The Swiss may seem cold. Once you get close to them, however , you’ll find that they are honest and responsible people, who will be loyal to your interests.
They are good listeners and will remember practically everything you say to them. Sometimes they will even go so far as to take notes while you speak. The Swiss are very private people, so you should avoid asking personal questions. They can be rather serious, so it is advisable to avoid making jokes on them.
1.According to the passage, when talking you are advised_______.
A. to discuss the heated issue with the French

A. Australians may not show off their education before others
B. Australians like to criticize other people

3.What is the theme of the passage?
A. How to adapt to the life abroad.
B. What to argue about with foreigners.
C. How to find better topics.
