Pigs care a great deal about friends and family and work hard to keep everyone in their life happy. Chinese people view the pig as
14、 a smart and prosperous animal. Western ideas tend to be a little more negative. When talking to a Westerner, however, you have to be a little careful when you talk about pigs. A pig in the West is seen as a dirty, lazy, and fat animal. If anyone ever called you a pig, you wouldn“t be smiling. When
15、a person doesn“t like someone,sometimes he will call that person a pig. If you ever meet a Westerner who was born in the year of the pig, don“t say, “Oh, you“re a pig!“ Most Westerners will be quite understanding. They will be sure that you made some kind of a mistake. However, don“t take any chance
16、s. You might just offend someone who does not share your positive ideas about pigs.（分数：15.00）(1).You have to be careful when you talk to a Westerner about pigs because _.（分数：3.00）A.they worship pigs best of allB.they consider pigs as bad animalsC.they aren“t used to talking about pigsD.they don“t li
17、ke the topic about pigs at all(2).According to the passage we can see that Chinese people think of the pig as a _ animal.（分数：3.00）A.cleverB.richC.goodD.all the above(3).A Westerner will call someone a pig if he _ that man.（分数：3.00）A.dislikesB.is afraid ofC.looks up toD.makes fun of(4).When you call
18、a Westerner a pig, who was born in the year of the pig, most of them _.（分数：3.00）A.will be angryB.will be very surprisedC.can forgiveD.may quarrel with you(5).From the passage we can conclude that _.（分数：3.00）A.different people have different ideas about the same thingB.Westerners culture is similar t
19、o our Chinese cultureC.in general, Westerners and the Chinese don“t like pigsD.all of the Chinese like pigs better than WesternersWhat is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观者), a leader, an active person. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then
20、you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. At least this is what psychologists (心理学家) tell us. They have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference (爱好), and the effect that colors have on human beings. The
21、y tell us that we don“t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one. On the other hand, black is de
22、pressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember that you will know your friends and your enemies better when
23、 you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don“t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.（分数：15.00）(1).According to this passage, _.（分数：3.00）A.one can choose his color preferenceB.one is born with his color preferenceC.one“s color pre

29、hools are cracking down (严惩) on students who bring guns to school,“ Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement. In March 1997, an 11-year old boy and a 13-year old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Arkansas. In October, two were killed and
30、seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14-year old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Kentucky.

37、om Uncle Sam. Before long, people called all things that came from the government “Uncle Sam“s“,“ Uncle Sam“ became a nickname for the US government.
