3.Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships.For example,in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure.Yet it also has other uses.A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.A smile may show love or politeness.It can also hide true feelings.It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures.For example,many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough.In Southeast Asian culture,a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions (情感),but we should not attempt to"read"people from another culture as we would"read"someone from our own culture.The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather,there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted.For example,in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do.When with friends,Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States.People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others.The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different.If we judge according to our own cultural habits,we may make the mistake of"reading"the other person incorrectly.

A.Love.
B.Politeness.
C.Joy.
D.Thankfulness.
50.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile canB.
A.show friendliness to strangers
B.be used to hide true feelings
C.be used in the wrong places
D.show personal habits
51.What should we do before attempting to"read"people?B
A.Learn about their relations with others.
B.Understand their cultural backgrounds.
C.Find out about their past experience.
D.Figure out what they will do next.
52.What would be the best title for the test?C
A.Cultural Differences
B.Smiles and Relationship
C.Facial Expressiveness
D.Habits and Emotions.

15.BEIJING--The Chinese economy has shown positive signs of stabilizing (穩(wěn)定),but it's hard to judge what it will be next year,governor of China's central bank said Thursday.
Zhou Xiaochuan,governor of the People's Bank of China,made the remarks on a discussion with delegates from the financial field to the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,which opened here Thursday morning.
China's economic momentum (沖力)will depend on not only domestic conditions,but also changes brought by the global financial crisis,said Zhou,who is also a CPC delegate to the national congress.
"It has become increasingly clear that the Chinese economy is now moving towards a better direction,"he said.
Due to the impact of the debt crisis in Europe,China's economy began slowing this year.The Chinese economy expanded only 7.4 percent year-on-year in the third quarter of 2012,marking a downturn for seven straight quarters,the National Bureau of Statistics said.
As the government adopted a series of fiscal and monetary (財政和貨幣的) measures and speeded up the approvals of investment projects to spur the slowing economy,the domestic economy has stabilized since September with better indicators,Zhou said.
He said it's hard to judge how the global financial crisis will continue to affect the Chinese economy,because the spreading of the European debt crisis and the so-called"fiscal cliff",problem in the United States have increased uncertainties of the world economy.
"We need to monitor the effect on our economy of the monetary easing policies launched recently by the United States and the European Union,"he said.
China is likely to maintain the policy continuity"to some extent"in 2013,but will leave"enough room"to make the policy targeted and flexible.

43.Wliat is the attitude of Zhou Xiaochuan towards the Chinese economy at present?C
A.Doubtful.
B.Negative.
C.Optimistic.
D.Unknown.
44.The underlined word"spur"in the sixth paragraph probably meansD
A.cause
B.expand
C.decrease
D.encourage
45.What caused China's economy slowing in 2012?B
A.Global financial crisis.
B.Debt crisis,in Europe,
C."Fiscal cliff'problem in the US.
D.The Chinese economy policy.
46.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A
A.The People's Bank of China launched the economy statistics of China.
B.The Chinese economy policy will have a chance of flexibility in 2013.
C.The world economy is uncertain.
D.The global financial crisis has a great effect on Chinese economy.

12.Situated at the gate to the Tianjin Children's Welfare Institute,a government-run orphanage,the baby hatch---also known as a babies'safety island---allows desperate parents to leave unwanted newborns,press an alarm button,and depart anonymously.After a delay of about five minutes,someone from the institute will arrive to get the child.
But facilities(設(shè)施) such as this have been under fire recently.While some people have approved of the idea,saying it protects the lives of unwanted children; critics argue that it encourages the immoral to abandon such babies,which is illegal in China.
It's difficult to obtain statistics about the number of abandoned children in China,but the 2010 China Child Welfare Policy Report,released by the China Philanthropy Research Institute,estimated that 100,000 babies are abandoned every year,most of them with disabilities and illnesses.In July,2013,when the Ministry of Civil Affairs launched a pilot project to set up baby hatches across China,Tianjin was one of the first cities to launch a facility and there were 24 baby hatches in 10 provinces,municipalities and autonomous regions(地區(qū)).A further 18 regions are preparing to open facilities by the end of this year,according to the China Center for Children's Welfare and Adoption.
"The baby hatch guards an unwanted baby from harm and increases its chances of survival,"said Xu Shuming,who is in charge of the reception of unwanted children and their following adoption at the Tianjin Children's Welfare Institute,is also in favor of the project."Before the baby hatch came into use,the babies we took in were usually brought by the police.They had been found at bus stations,public rest rooms,or parks; it could be anywhere.One baby we received last year was almost frozen to death,"she said."For our part,we hope parents will leave more information with their unwanted babies,such as medical records so that we can understand the real situation,avoid repeated medical checkups,and save time,"Xu said.
36.A baby hatch is a place whereB.
A.parents can leave their baby for some time               
B.unwanted newborns can be left.
C.unhealthy babies can be treated free of charge
D.the chances of babies'survival can be increased
37.The underlined phrase"under fire"in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning toB.
A.ignored       B.a(chǎn)ttacked           C.supported     D.discussed
38.Why some people are against the baby hatch?A
A.Because it encourages parents to abandon the unwanted babies.
B.Because it is illegal to abandon a baby in China.
C.Because it wastes an amount of money.
D.Because it protects unwanted babies.
39.According to passage,we knowC
A.All the people approve of the baby hatch.
B.It's easy to figure out exactly the number of abandoned children in China
C.Most of the unwanted babies are in poor condition
D.There will be 42 baby hatches in China at the end of this year
40.We can infer from the passageD.
A.Parents usually leave little information in case that they are found out.
B.Less and less unwanted babies are abandoned in China
C.The police used to take charge of attending abandoned babies
D.The information left by parents may be of great help to protect unwanted babies.
