It was the yearbook day and we were given an hour to sign each other"s year-books in the cafeteria. I was
president of the class and I played sports. When I sat down at a table, people started to come over to get their
yearbooks signed and to sign 1 .

him. .
He came up and asked me nervously," Can you sign this?" I took his yearbook but I didn"t know 4 to
write. I saw that there was the name " Ricky Sanders" written on the front of it. So I wrote:

my yearbook was gone. I saw that Ricky had sat down with my yearbook. "What are you doing?" I asked
him. He looked up calmly (平静地) and 6 said "Sign!"
My friends broke into a loud laugh, and I saw that he was carefully trying to put a signature in my
yearbook. He hadn"t even finished the "R" yet. I thought for awhile and 7 to let him sign.
It took him nearly five minutes to sign and when I got my yearbook back, there was a very shaky
"RICKY". He hugged (紧抱) his yearbook and 8 . I couldn"thelp but smile back at him.
In that moment, my 9 changed completely.
I gave him a high five and suddenly everyone at my table wanted his signature. He was asked politely to
write in their yearbooks and the signature 10 of his yearbook were filled up. He was smiling so big that
it lit up the whole room.

people don"t usually wear their outdoor shoes in the house or in school, and a lot of buildings have places for
shoes. So her school has a special place for shoes. 1
Tina teaches English in the evening. One Friday, she went to school, and she put her shoes in the shoe box
as usual. Then she had an interesting spoken English class with her students. 2 But to her surprise, her
shoes weren"t in the box. There was only one pair of shoes there, and they weren"t her shoes! She had to get
home in a hurry. 3
On Monday, at her next English class, her shoes were in a shopping bag on her desk! There was a note
that said, "I"m so sorry. I took your shoes by mistake!" 4 Somebody felt a lot of shame ! | A. It"s a shoe box.

very 1 . Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was shouting and
2 the steering wheel（方向盘）with impatience.
At one point along an open highway , I came to a crossroads with a traffic light. I was alone on the road,
but as I got 3 the light, it turned red and I stopped. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car,
no 4 of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile
in any 5 .
I started wondering why I refused to run the red light. There was obviously no policeman around, and it
certainly would not have been 6 in going through it.
Later that night, after I had climbed into bed, the question of why I stopped for that light 7 back to me.
I did so because it"s part of a contract (协议) we all have with each other. It"s not only the law, but an
agreement we have, and we trust each other to 8 it.
It"s 9 that we ever trust each other to do the right things. It"s a good thing because the whole structure
of our society depends on trust. This whole thing we have going for us would fall apart if we didn"t trust each
other most of the time. We do 10 we say we"ll do; and we pay when we say we"ll pay. We trust each other
in these matters, and when we don"t do what we"ve 11 , others will be angry or disappointed with us because
we violate(亵渎) the 12 they have in us. I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night! | ( )1. A.fast

D. life | | 阅读理解。 | Huihua, a Chinese girl, and Mary, an American student who was studying Chinese in China, were on their
way to a bookstore. As they got to the bookstore, they saw a young man walking down the stairs. In his hurry,
he missed the last two steps, and fell to the ground. He tried hard to get back to his feet while people around
him laughed. Luckily, he seemed to be OK.
Mary was worried. She found Huihua smiling a little and was not comfortable about it. "Tell me, Huihua,
how could people laugh when someone felllike that? Do they care at all? Shouldn"t they go up and ask the
young man whether he was hurt?"
"They knew he wasn"t hurt too much." Huihua said.
"But I still don"t understand. A fall is a fall. In my culture, people would do anything but laugh!"
Chinese Perspective (观点)
This is an example in which the Chinese and the westemers explain a smile differently. Very often, the
Chinese people would also laugh or make a joke to ease the embarrassment (缓解尴尬) when they are caught
in the embarrassing situation. However, if someone gets hurt seriously, it will not be a laughing matter any
more. People will help him instead.
North American Perspective A westemer would explain laughter in such a situation as a sign of either
insensitivity (不关心) or, worse, pleasure that the person falling had hurt himself because that person was
disliked. A westemer"s reaction would have been to rush over, help the person up, and to ask him," Are you
OK"?" If a westemer fell, he, like a Chinese person, might probably make a joke out of the incident (事件)
if he was not hurt. If two close friends are walking together, and one trips but clearly isn"t hurt, a common
joke is to say "Have a nice trip". However, this joke would be made only between two people who knew each
other well. | 1. Did Huihua help the young man after he fell down in the bookstore?
________________________________________________________
2. How did Mary feel about Huihua"s attitude towards the young man?

3. In a westemer"s opinion, what does the laughter in an embarrassing situation show?
