Making sense of how the US shows humor
Living in a new country gives me many surprises. The first surprise was the way that the US people speak
One day I saw someone was having a public speech in a square. I thought it would be a serious speech. But I soon found it became a kind of entertainment show.
The speaker told the audience to protect the environment with humorous words. Later he said some people’s behavior didn’t go with their words. He took the example of Taylor Swift’s song We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.[
He said that since Swift doesn’t want to be with the boy any more, she doesn’t need to speak it aloud, she doesn’t need to sing unless she still keeps in touch with that guy. It sounds like she is a hypocrite.
Then he sang the song in a funny way. The audience laughed out loudly. I felt a little angry because Swift is my favourite star. I couldn’t understand why they laughed at Swift.
As time goes on, I find many US people make fun of others. But they don’t mean to hurt them. They do that to show closeness and humour. And people who are laughed at seldom get angry. Now I understand the speaker at the square. Now I’ve got used to the way the US people speak.
It’s easy to find culture shock when you’re in a new place. But everyone should learn to understand different cultures and customs. 
小題1:The man in the square was _______________.
A．teaching people how to give a speech
B．calling on people to protect the environment
C．giving a singing show in public
D．criticizing the US government
小題2:What does the underlined word “hypocrite” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．會唱歌的人B．真誠的人C．虛偽的人D．愛護(hù)環(huán)境的人
小題3:From Paragraph 6, we learn that_________________.
A．many US people like to laugh at others
B．many US people are friendly and humorous
C．the US people get angry at others easily
D．the writer doesn’t like the way the US people speak
小題4:Which is Not suitable for the passage?
A．The writer went to America and protect the environment.
B．Americans show humour in a different way from China.
C．It’s easy to find culture shock when you are in a new place.
D．Tailor Swift is an American famous singer.
小題5:What does the article mainly talk about?

A change to its population policy(人口政策）for the world's most populated country(人口最多的國家), that is where we start this new week on CNN (美國有線新聞網(wǎng)絡(luò)，以提供即時電視新聞報導(dǎo)而聞名)STUDENT NEWS.
China introduced(提出） its so-called one-child policy(獨生子女政策） in the late 1970s. It's been believed to help control China's population growth(控制人口增長). It's also been against for forcing(強(qiáng)迫) parents to make difficult personal choices(選擇）, or in some cases（某些情況） face huge fines（面臨巨額罰款).
The policy said that in big cities or towns, parents could only have one child, although（盡管) there were some exceptions(例外), for example, the famous director Zhang Yimou, who was ordered to pay the heavy fines for his three children.
The new rule(法規(guī)) says that if either parent(父母親一方) is an only child, then they are able to have two children of their own.
One reason for the change is economics(經(jīng)濟(jì)).
In China, many people care for their elderly relatives, so a single(單個的) child could not afford (能做)to look after his parents and grandparents. This new policy could help with that.
Another reason, China says it wants to improve human rights(改善人權(quán)).
小題1:Which may be the best title of the article?___________.
A．The one-child policyB．The population policy
C．The human rightsD．China's population growth

小題4:We can infer(推斷）from the article that the next paragraph（段落) is about ___________.
A．the population growthB．the population policy
C．the economic changeD．the human rights

Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.

Who is reading your blogs or checking out your information online? Two reports show that surfing the Internet and sending personal information to people you do not know could be a problem.
Most sites give users their own webspace where they can write their diaries or post their pictures. The sites encourage users to get their friends to look at their work and to comment（評論）on what are posted on the sites.
Teachers are worried that some children are posting their personal information on websites. This could put them at risk from those who plan to do harm to young people. Teachers are also worried some users think it is OK to use the websites in a way that could get others into trouble.
In a school in Illinois（伊利諾斯州）in the US where some popular sites are used wildly, the school would punish（懲罰）students who posted pictures or information about smoking , drinking and other illegal（違法的）activities on the websites.
The school is now going to encourage its 3,200 students to obey a new rule. The warning is clear. That is, be careful when posting information about yourself such as your age, sex, address and interests on a website that anyone can see.
Another warning about the Internet comes from a report. It shows searchers are leading users to websites that show them spam（垃圾短信）and other dangerous downloads.The words “ free screen savers” were found to be the most dangerous words that people search for.
