A)
Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunication were always possible, even over something as simple as 'yes' and 'no'.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks. The woman there didn't say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the Woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means 'yes'.
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, 'Do, you have cabbage today?' He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means no.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean 'yes' or 'no'.
51. These Americans who taught English in other countries found that they __________.
A. should go abroad for vacations B. needed to learn foreign languages
C. should often discuss their experiences D. had problems with communications

Green is an important color in
nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is the color of most growing plants, too.
Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe.
For example, a
greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in war (战争). By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today--a person who is new in a job.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb(拇指). The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds.
A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
56. According to the passage, a greenhorn means________ now.
A. a young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developed
B. a soldier who has not had any experience in war
C. a person who is new in a job D. a man who doesn’t have the skills to live in the country
57. The meaning of the underlined word “ripe” in the second paragraph is ________.
A. 未完成的 B. 成熟的 C. 青涩的 D. 老练的
A. If there weren’t the Green Revolution, we would have no rice to eat.
C. Because of the Green Revolution, we have more kinds of rice and other grains.
D. Agricultural scientists with green thumbs started the Green Revolution.
59. We can know from the passage that _______.
C. a person with a green thumb can make plants grow well
D. the expression “a green thumb” has a history of two hundred years
60. The main idea of the passage is ________.
A. a greenhorn B. a green thumb
C)
Here's one very simple but life-changing advice that I first heard from Brian Tracy. Cut down on the TV at night by just one hour. Instead, use that hour to read books that could improve your life.
If you're a salesman, google for the best and most useful books on improving your sales.
This applies (适用) to all fields, not just the work-related (与工作相关的) ones. Maybe you want to improve your health, become a more energetic person. Or maybe you want to improve your study, your relations or perhaps do some personal development.
One hour a day is not much. But if you read for one hour a day on weekdays, that's about 260 hours a year. That's a large number of books and a lot of useful advice.
If you follow the ideas, who knows what great things and feelings could come into your life. Also, all that information and advice will start to open up your mind. You will start to see more chances in your life.
Now, you might think something like this:
1. I really don't have the money...
Answer: Visit your public library or search the database (数据库). Or look for books that are used in places like amazon.com.
2. I really don't have the time...
Answer: Buy audio-books and listen to them in the car while driving to and from work. Or copy them to your MP3-player and listen while riding your bike /bus to work or school. Recently selling audio-books through MP3-downloads has become popular...
