阅读理解。     Although we may not realize it, when we talk with others we make ourselves understood not just by
words. We send messages to the people around us also by body movements. A smile and handshake (握手)
show welcome. Waving one"s hand is to say "Goodbye." Nodding (点头) the head means agreement, while
shaking it means disagreement. In China and some English-speaking countries, these body movements have
the same meanings. 　　
     But not all body languages mean the same things in different countries. For example, nodding the head in
some Asian countries means not "Yes.", but "No." 　　
     When we speak a foreign language, it"s important to know the meanings of the body movements in the
foreign countries. In Russia, France and some of South American countries men kiss (吻) each other when
they meet. Men don"t kiss each other in China or English-speaking countries. In England, older people usually
shake hands when they meet someone for the first time, however, young people don"t shake hands. In France,
people shake hands in the office every morning. French people kiss each other more often than English people
when they meet or leave. 根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。
(     )1. We talk with other people just by words. 　　
(     )2. Nodding the head doesn"t mean "Yes." in some Asian countries. 　　
(     )3. From this passage, we can know that men in Brazil usually kiss each other when they meet. 　　
(     )4. In France, men just kiss each other when they meet. 　　
(     )5. In China and some English-speaking countries, all the body movements have the same meanings.

      Every year in English-speaking countries, people list the most popular names. Here are some examples.
In the United States at the moment the three most popular names for girls are Emily, Emma and Madison.
For boys, they are Michael, Joshua and Mathew. In Britain a parent today might call their little girl Grace,
Jessica or Ruby. If they have a little boy they could call him Jack, Thomas or Oliver. 　　
     In China names have very clear meanings. If a girl is called Mei, her name means "beautiful". If a boy is
called Wu, his name means "like a soldier". Names in English-speaking countries are like this too. The girl"s
name Joy is probably partly chosen because the parents wish their daughter to be happy and bring joy to
others. If a girl is called Ruby, it may be because of the beautiful red precious (宝贵的) stone. 　　
     Parents often pick names that can be shortened (缩写). This can be confusing (困惑的) for Chinese
people. Parents might choose such names because they want to be able to speak to their kid in a personal
(私人的) way. 　　
     For example, a popular name is William. But William can be shortened to Will, Willy, Bill and Billy. The
same is true of the favorite old name for a girl, Elizabeth. Elizabeth can be shortened to Beth, Liza and Liz. 　　
     Another reason kids get the names they do is that parents want to name their boy or girl after someone
who is famous, such as an actor, pop star or sports personality. David is a popular name in Britain, partly
because of the fame (名气) of the footballer David Beckham.

1. The following are all popular names in U.S. at this moment EXCEPT . [ ]
A. Emily 　　　
B. Betty 　　　
C. Emma 　　　
D. Joshua 2. The name "Mei" in China means ______. [ ]

阅读理解。      Mother"s Day is a holiday for mothers. It is celebrated (庆祝) in the United States, India and other
countries. In a short time, it becomes widely celebrated. Mother"s Day is on the second Sunday in May.
On that day, many people send gifts of love to their mothers. Those whose mothers are still living often
wear a pink or red rose of carnation (康乃馨), while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one.
     The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. As a result of her
hard work, the celebration of the first American Mother"s Day was held in Philadelphia on May 10, 1908.
Soon the holiday became popular all over the country and around the world.
     In China, people do the same on the same day for mothers. And in some cities, people sometimes ask
a song to be broadcast (广播) for his or her mother only. This might cost a little money for some of them,
but, as it says, "Love is invaluable."
     On May 8, 1999, just the day before the Mother"s Day that year, a Chinese mother was killed in a
criminal bombing (罪恶暴行). Her name is Shao Yunhuan, a heroic mother. All the Chinese will remember
her for ever. 1. Mother"s Day _____.
