阅读理解。     People often say that the Englishman"s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important
and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their
homes. This means that they can make them individual (个体的); they can paint them, and change them
in any way they like. Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually
loved. The house and the garden are the private (私人的) space of the individual.
     People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you
marked the space around yourself as your? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag
on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
     Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table
between us.The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he
owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out
of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped (瞪出)
out of his head. I had invaded (侵犯) his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in
order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that
he just wanted to be helpful to me!
     If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don"t have any private space. Hotel rooms
look much the same in every country in the world. All day long,you share public spaces with o their
people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and "outside". Local people
can create their private spaces by talking about things you don"t know about.And you even feel that
they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the
difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you.Haven"t you enjoyed being part

阅读理解。     When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me
about China. One day the topic turned to saying "I love you". I was shocked to learn that not one of my
students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them."Does your mom love you?"
"Of course," they answered.
     "How do you know?" was my logical question. They responded that their moms cooked and always
told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned.So mom"s cooking and
criticizing read out as "I love you". "Then how do you say "I love you" to her?" They agreed that getting
good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.
     I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes
over time. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments
with their moms. One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from
university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but
her mom said, "Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers
and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you."
     In my family we all say "I love you" a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having
great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little
words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last
words we say to or hear from those we love. 1. The foreign teacher _____. [     ]
A. comes from America
B. is a young woman
C. is expressive enough
D. knows much about China 2. Chinese people prefer to show love by _____.[     ]
A. saying "I love you"
B. cooking
C. getting good grades
D. doing something helpful 3. In paragraph 4, what"s the real meaning of the mom"s hugging? [     ]
A. She is meeting her daughter at the door.
B. She loves her daughter and misses her.
C. She is glad that she has more time to herself
D. She finds it interesting to hug her daughter. 4. What"s the main idea of the passage? [     ]
A. Say "I love you" more to your family.
B. Say "I love you" a lot to Chinese people.
C. Say "I love you" as a greeting to others.
D. Say "I love you" without great depth of feelings.
