Task 1

There are many different cultures in the world, and in each of them the children must learn a great many things that are expected of everyone who participates effectively in that culture. These things are taken for granted by everyone who shares the culture. Indeed, the children begin to learn them before their linguistic skills are far enough developed to understand a verbal description for what they are learning. This kind of learning has sometimes been called “imitation”, but that is much too simple an explanation for the complex processes that go on when a child learns what is normal and expected in his own community. Most of the rules are communicated to the child non-verbally, and he adapts to them as if no other possibilities existed. They are as much a part of him as his own body, he would no more question them than he would question the fact that he has two hands and two feet, but only one head.

26. Children have to learn a large number of things which ______ in their culture.

A. are difficult for them to learn

B. are regarded as especially important for them

C. are taken as normal by everyone

A. using their linguistic skills

B. understanding what they are learning

C. communicating effectively

D. imitating what others are doing

28. The learning processes for the children are _____.

30. Which of the following statements is correct?

C. Children learn things faster than adults.

D. Children adapt to the communication rules naturally.

Task 2

Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?

Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings – battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed – took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in faraway countries on the same day they happen.

Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories and of course advertisements. There are all sorts of advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for their advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.

31. The habit of reading newspapers is ____.

A. widespread

B. found among a few families

C. not popular

D. uncommon

32. In the past, news was ____.

A. sent by telegraph

B. sent by letter

C. passed from one person to another

D. sent by telephone

33. The money spent on advertisements is ____.

A. worthwhile

B. not much

C. wasted

D. of no use to anyone

34. Which of the following statements is not true?

A. Five hundred years ago news did not take a long time to reach other countries.

B. Large companies put big advertisements on the newspapers to make their products known.

C. The news that we need in our newspapers is up-to-date.

D. Though the newspapers are sold a low price, their owners still gain profit.

35. The phrase “subscribe to” in the second sentence means ____.

A. contribute to

B. write to

C. pay for receiving

D. appreciate

Task 3

Few Americans remain in one position or one place for a lifetime. We move from town to city to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job elsewhere, from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan

to live in retirement. With each move we are forever making new friends, who become part of our new life at that time.

For many of us summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today millions of Americans vacation abroad, and they go not only to see new sights but also with the hope of meeting new people. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend, but the beginning of a friendship is possible.

The word “friend” ca n be applied to a wide range of relationships to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a fellow worker, to a childhood playmate, to a man or woman, to a trusted confidant.

36. Many Americans move from place to place for the following reasons except ______.

A. going to college

B. getting a better job

C. finding a place to live in retirement

D. saving money

37. Summer is a special time when many Americans ______.

C. travel to other countries

D. get a new job

38. When summer comes, many Americans ______.

A. hope to meet new people

B. expect to find some close friends

C. want to begin lasting friendships with new people

D. Both A and B

39. From the passage it can be seen that a “friend” can b e ______.
