As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let’s look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching mouse”, have negative meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive actions. For example, “You are a lucky dog.” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day.” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired” means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel.

科目:初中英語 來源:2010年甘肅省定西市畢業(yè)升學考試英語卷 題型:閱讀理解

 

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Someboy mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.

If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的順序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love :12+15+22+5=54, and luck : 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈禱)? They can’t , either.

Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(態(tài)度).Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100,a full mark.

Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the betterr after one has changed one’s attitude.

When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you.In the same way, if you take a positive(積極地)attitude towards failure(失敗),you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.

1.In the writer’s opinion , what is the most important things in a person’s life?

   A.Hard-work.           B.Knowledge.             C.Money.           D.Attitude.

2.According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to ___________.

   A. ask for helpf from others                        B.say your prayers to God

   C.change your attitude                            D.try maths-solving methods

3.From the passage we can learn that ______________.

   A.diffrent attitudes come from different courses of life.

   B.mathematics can solve every problem easily in our daily life

   C.failure sometimes can bring you good if you take a positive attitude

   D.none of the English words except “attitude” equals to 100 or more
