                                               The way we do things round here
    Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank.I received a letter from the head of the Personnel
Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us." That "quite"
saddened me.I thought he was saying "we"re kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we
had hired someone else." Then I discovered that in American English "quite" sometimes means "very",
while in British English it means "fairly".
    So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don"t just
mean the words people speak.It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on.The way people do
things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures (文化).
Some of these differences may be only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may
be deeper and take longer to deal with.Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and
accepting them, like the climate (气候), while getting on with business.
     Some of the differences may be an improvement.People are more polite; the service is better;you
ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again.However, other differences can
be troubling, like punctuality (准时). If you invite people to a party at 7 o"clock your guests will consider
it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early
in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the
evening in Greece.I prefer not to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times
people arrive.It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.

1. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought________.

A. the American bank didn"t think much of him
B. the American bank might hire another person
C. it"s difficult to get used to American culture
D. it"s easy to misunderstand Americans

2. The word "highlights" in Paragraph 2 probably means______.

A. encourages 
B. helps to narrow
C. increases  
D. draws attention to

3. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?

A. Ask the native people for help.
B. Understand and accept them.
C. Do things in our own way.
D. Do indepth research.

4. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are________.

A. Italians  
B. Germans
C. Greeks  
D. the British

      Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball.
Shay asked, "Do you think they"ll let me play?" Shay"s father knew that most of the boys would not
want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son,mentally and
physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a muchneeded sense of belonging and
some confidence.
     Shay"s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting
much.The boy looked around and said,"We"re losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth
inning (局). I guess he can be on our team and we"ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning."
     Shay struggled over to the team"s bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had
a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart.The boys saw the father"s joy at his son being accepted.
     In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay"s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.In the
top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field.Even though no hits came his way, he
was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field.In the bottom of the final inning, Shay"s team
scored again.Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.Would they let Shay bat and give away their
chance to win the game?
     Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat.Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible.The first pitch (投) came and Shay missed.The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards
Shay.As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
     The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and
that would have been the end of the game.Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the
first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates.The audience and the players from both teams started
screaming," Shay, run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base,
wideeyed and shocked.
     Everyone shouted," Run to second !" Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second.By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher"s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman"s head.
     All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the way Shay." Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, "Shay, run to third." As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, "Shay, run home!" Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team.
    That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world.Shay didn"t make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!

1. Not expecting much, Shay"s father still asked the boy if Shay could play, mainly because the
     father ________.

A. noticed some of the boys on the field were hesitating
B. guessed his presence would affect the boys" decision
C. learned some of the boys on the field knew Shay well
D. understood Shay did need a feeling of being accepted

2. In the bottom of the final inning Shay was given the bat because the boys ________.

A. believed they were sure to win the game
B. would like to help Shay enjoy the game
C. found Shay was so eager to be a winner
D. felt forced to give Shay another chance

3. The smallest boy threw the ball high and far over the third baseman"s head, probably because
    that boy ________.

A. was obviously aware of the pitcher"s purpose
B. looked forward to winning the game for his team
C. failed to throw the ball to the second baseman
D. saw that Shay already reached second base

4. Which of the following has nothing to do with Shay"s becoming the hero for his team?

A. The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman.
B. The audience and the players from both teams cheered for him.
C. The opposing players failed to stop his running to home.
D. One of the opposing players ran to help him.
