7、It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005．While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work．On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does．After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone．

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport．Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family．And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品雜貨），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live．

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story．Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help．One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up．Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job．It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before．

People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so．This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole． And it has influenced（影響）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others．No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares．And the results can be everlasting．

1．Why was the bike so important to the couple?

A． The man’s job was bike racing．                B． It was their only possession．

C． It was a nice Kona 18 speed．                   D． They used it for work and daily life．

2．We can infer from the text that ____________．

A． the couple worked 60 hours a week．        B． people were busy before Christmas

C． the stranger brought over the bike               D． life was hard for the young family．

3．How did people get to know the couple’s problem?

A． From radio broadcasts．                          B． From a newspaper．

C． From TV news．                                  D． From a stranger．

4．What do the couple learn from their experience?

A． Strangers are usually of little help．            B． One should take care of their bike．

C． News reports make people famous．          D． An act of kindness can mean a lot．

6、When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs. Kim．By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese．Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names． President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohn Myong Suk．Therefore, she should be addressed （稱謂）as Mrs. Sohn．

       President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears．His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan．

       In addition to Koreans．Some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names．This practice often puzzles（使困惑）English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents．They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name．Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures．

       Mexican naming customs are different as well．When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word de （of）．This affects （影響）how they fill in forms in the United States．When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name．But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother．This often causes puzzlement．

      Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations：don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name．Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed （顛倒）．Ask which name a person would prefer to use．If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly．

1．The story of Bill Clinton is used to             ．

A． improve US-Korean relations                 B． introduce the topic of the text

A． action plans                                              B． naming customs

C． travel maps                                              D． thinking patterns

3．When a woman marries in Korea, she             ．

A． continues to use her family name

B． uses her husband’s given name

C． shares her husband’s family name

D． adds her husband’s given name to hers

4．To address a married woman properly, you’d better             ．

A． use her middle name                                 B． use her husband’s first name

C． ask her which name she likes                    D． change the order of her names

5、Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’s War and Peace, is more than once described as having “fat little hands．”Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse．”He is said to be “undersized,” with “short legs” and a “round stomach”．The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description—it seems not that far off from historical accounts—but his choice of facts：other things that could be said of the man are not said．We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman．Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose—and that is the point．

     It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character．And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man．In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar（沙皇）,who has come with peace terms．Napoleon is very angry：doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms．He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped．“That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!” he shouts．And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon “walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly．”

Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner．“He raised his hand to the Russian’s．．．face,” Tolstoy writes, and “taking him by the ear pulled it gently．．．” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court．“Well, well, why don’t you say anything?” said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon．

Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own．
