They stood outside the door – two children in shabby outgrown coats.
“Any old papers, lady?”
I was busy, I wanted to say no – until I saw the snow on their clothes. And their thin little sandals (凉鞋) were also covered with snow.
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
There was no conversation. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and toast with jam to strengthen them against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household.
The silence in the front room got me to look inside. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”
“Am I rich? Mercy, no! ”
I looked at my shabby sofa. The girl put her cup back in its saucer (茶杯托，茶碟) carefully.
“Your cups match your saucers.”
Her voice was old, which made me think she had been hungry for months. They left then, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said thank you. They didn’t need to. They had done more than that. Plain blue cups and saucers. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and looked at the meat. Potatoes and meat, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job – these things matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and tidied the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. I let them be. I want them there in case I ever forget again how very rich I am.

Heroic Teenager Receives Award
Seventeen – year – old teenager, John Janson, was honored at the Lifesaver Awards last night in Rivertown for carrying out lifesaving first aid on his neighbor after a shocking knife attack.
John was presented with his award at a ceremony which recognized the bravery of ten people who had saved the life of another.

They discovered that Ann Slade, mother of three, had been stabbed (猛刺) repeatedly with a knife. She was lying in her front garden bleeding very heavily. Her hands had almost been cut off.
It was John’s quick action and knowledge of first aid that saved Ms Slade’s life. He immediately asked a number of nearby people for bandages, but when nobody could put their hands on any, his father got some tea towels and tape from their house.

As the basic building materials of communication, words communicate meaning, but as we have seen, the meanings of words are very much influenced by culture. Meaning is in the person, not in the word, as each person is the product of a particular culture which passes on shared and appropriate meanings. Thus, if we want to learn to communicate well in a foreign language, we must understand the culture that gives that language meaning. Culture gives meaning and provides the context for communication, and the ability to communicate allows us to act out our cultural values and to share our language and our culture.
But our own native language and culture are so much a part of us that we take them for granted. When we travel to another country, it’s as if we carry along with our passports. We view the new environment using our own culture as the standard, and although not purposely, our ways of thinking and acting often get in the way of our understanding other languages and cultures. The ability and willingness to change lenses (视角) when we look at a different culture is both the cure and the prevention for such cultural blindness. Studying a new language provides us the opportunities to practise changing lenses when we also learn the context or the culture to which it belongs.
57．The main idea of the first paragraph is that .
A．words are the basic building materials of communication
B．we have to study its culture before we learn a foreign language
C．each person has a different meaning when using the same word
D．the meaning of words are very much influenced by culture
58．The underlined word “it” in the last sentence refers to .
A．the context B．the culture C．the language D．the opportunity
59．In this passage the author mainly discusses .
A．the basic building materials of communication
B．the importance of understanding a person in communication
C．how to communicate well in a foreign language
D．the relationship between communication and culture
60．What can we learn from this passage?
A．You have to forget your culture to prevent cultural blindness.
B．The meanings of words are not very important in language learning.
C．Culture is a must for learners of foreign languages.
D．One has to live in the country to learn its language well.

Dear Morley,
You asked about sports in China in your letter. Now I’ll tell you what I know.
Having sports is quite common in China, as more and more people have come to realize its importance, believing it is one of the best ways of keeping healthy.
People of different ages have various choices in sports. Most of the old people would like to get up early in the morning and practise Qigong in groups in the park, Quite a few middle – aged prefer to dance together in squares in the evening, while young people’s favorite is to go swimming in summer and skating in winter.
Ball games such as basketball, volleyball, football and badminton are popular among people, but table tennis is a favorite for people of all ages.
What about sports in your country?
Best regards.
Yours,
Li Hua
