2．Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning，people may send the wrong signal （信號）.Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize （強調） the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.For example，business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.Even with people at work，it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk"，usually over a cup of tea，before they do any job.In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafés rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion；instead ，there was an uncomfortable silence.The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better，I realized that they thought I was talking too much.In my own culture，we express meaning mainly through words，but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe，cultural differences can cause serious problems.Certainly，English and German cultures share similar values；however，Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are rude.In fact，this is just because the culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values，and sometimes these values are quite against each other.However，if we can understand them better，a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
（1）In some countries，eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to.
A．develop closer relations
B．share the same culture
C．get to know each other
D．keep each other company
（2）The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that.
A．the English prefer to make long speeches
B．too many words are of no use
C．even talk and silence can be culturally different
D．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
（3）How can people from different cultures understand each other better？
A．By accepting different habits.
B．By recognizing different values.
C．By sharing different ways of life.
D．By speaking each other's language.
（4）What would be the best title for the text？
A．Multicultural Environment
B．Cross-cultural Differences
C．How to Understand Each Other
D．How to Build Up a Relationship組卷：3難度：0.5 -
3．Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur（創(chuàng)業(yè)者），who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy.By the time she was 13，her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids' teeth，instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad.On the outing，she was offered a candy bar.However，her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth.But Moore was sick of missing out on candies.So she desired to get round the warning，"Why can't I make a healthy candy that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it？"With that in mind，Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company.He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad's permission，she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth friendly.She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning.Consequently，she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners，which can reduce oral bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground.Afterwards，she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner，who finally agreed to sell Moore's product-CanCandy.
As CanCandy's success grows，so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur.Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created，and she's also positive about what the future might bring.She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.

My three children played peacefully in the back yard.This alone should have put me on alert ，but the setting was so pleasant that I hung our clothes to dry in the soft breeze and enjoyed the unseasonably warm September afternoon.Our home was nestled in a forest of the Northern California foothills，facing a shining lake，with just a few neighbors
It was a good place to raise our children：four-year-old Andre，two-and-a-half-year-old Yvonne，and fourteen-month-old Philippe.From the clothesline I had a clear view of the kids Philippe was so cute，wearing only a diaper as he was glued to a flower looking at a butterfly.He was always the curious one
Our dog Jessie was always present，a constant participant in all the family activities.She lay fast asleep，warming herself in the sun.She was really gentle and kind，and her only annoying trait was her tendency to leave the house when I wasn't looking.But this day，she was to prove her worth
Having hung a whole basket of clothes，I ventured a into the house to grab a pile of wet sheets from the washing machine.As I wasn't in the habit of leaving my children unattended，I returned quickly to my clothesline duty.Just then，I noticed that Jessie had moved away from where she was lying.I exclaimed angrily，That dog!She's off again，and we don't need any more puppies!Looking around for her but failing to find her，I continued my laundry responsibilities，took a quick survey of the kids and saw，to my horror，that Philippe was missing.To my knowledge，no car and no passers-by had passed the usual paths close to our home.I began to yell his name，trying to stay calm.
