in a business, or even open people"s mind to another culture or race.
People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. For example, most
American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard
storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults
understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own.
"Most local stories are based on a larger theme," American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, "Cinderella
(灰姑娘), or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost
every culture of the world."
Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages
of the stories. She works with prisoner too, helping them knowing who they are by telling stories that her
listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they don"t like the story they are living, they can rewrite
the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. "For
every advance in business," she says, "there is a greater need for communication." Storytelling can have a great
effect on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says.
Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday
life of the people there. The benefits of storytelling are found everywhere, she says.
"I learned how people used stories to spread their culture," she says, "What I do is to focus on the value
of the stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have
a story to tell. We tell everybody"s story."
B. They prefer to tell the stories from other cultures.
C. They learn their stories from the American natives.
D. They find storytelling useful for both children and adults.
B. settle down in another place
C. direct films
D. become good actors
B. 3
C. 4
D. 5
B. Storytelling is vital to the growth of business.
C. Storytelling is the best way to educate children in school.
D. Storytelling helps people understand themselves and others.

and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famous
Silk Road.
The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of citied and towns. It
started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It
was used from about 200 B, C, to about A, D, 1300, when sea travel offered new routes (路线) , It was
sometimes called the world"s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not
one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and
deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return
safe.
The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or
buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were much found
in the Middle East and Asia. Horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian
merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an
immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft
(嫁接) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including
the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide
business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web.

When Lewis and Clark stepped onto the Weippe Prairie in present-day Idaho in September 1805, they
met the Nez Perce Indians. In the following years, the white explorers (探险者) began to fight with the
Indians for their land. Some Nez Perce chiefs signed agreements with the U.S. government, selling part
of their lands. But the government always broke those agreements and demanded more land.
Other chiefs refused to go along with the government"s plans. The most famous was Chief Joseph,
whose people lived in the Wallowa Valley(present-day Oregon). "In order to have all people understand
how much land we owned," he once explained,"my father planted poles around it and said: "Inside is the
home of my people…It circled around the graves (坟墓) of our fathers, and we will never give up these
graves to any man. "
But in 1874, the U.S. government declared the valley open for white settlement and ordered the Nez
Perce onto a reservation (保留地). Seeing that resistance was useless, Chief Joseph agreed to move.
Later, fighting broke out between the Nez Perce and U.S. soldiers. Chief Joseph tried to lead his people
to Canada, winning several battles against the soldiers during their flight. But finally, he was forced to give
in.
B. Dug Bar.
C. Joseph Canyon Viewpoint.
D. Chief Looking Glass Camp.
B. They have become a historic site.
C. They have become much smaller.
D. They were limited to the Wallowa Valley.
B. keep their land

branch of the great Appalachian family, and can be seen to the west rising up to a noble height and towering
over the surrounding country. When the weather is fair and settled, they are clothed in blue and purple, and
print their beautiful shapes on the clear evening sky, but sometimes when it is cloudless, gray steam gathers
around the top of the mountains which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will shine and light up like a crown
of glory (华丽的皇冠).
At the foot of these mountains, a traveler may see light smoke going up from a village.
In that village, and in one of the houses (which, to tell the exact truth, was sadly time-worn and weather-
beaten), there lived many years ago, a simple, good-natured fellow by the name of Rip Van Winkle.
Rip"s great weakness was a natural dislike of all kinds of money-making labor. It could not be from lack
of diligence (勤劳), for he could sit all day on a wet rock and fish without saying a word, even though he
was not encouraged by a single bite. He would carry a gun on his shoulder for hours, walking through woods
and fields to shoot a few birds or squirrels. He would never refuse to help a neighbor, even in the roughest
work. The women of the village, too, used to employ him to do such little jobs as their less helpful husbands
would not do for them. In a word, Rip was ready to attend to everybody"s business but his own.
If left to himself, he would have whistled ( 吹口哨) life away in perfect satisfaction; but his wife was
always mad at him for his idleness (懒散). Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was endlessly going, so that
he was forced to escape to the outside of the house-the only side which, in truth, belongs to a henpecked
husband.
B. They are very high and beautiful in this area.
C. They can be seen from the Appalachian family.
D. They gather beautiful clouds in blue and purple.
B. idle and hates all kinds of jobs
C. simple, idle but very dutiful
D. gentle, helpful but a little idle
B. is afraid of hens
C. loves his wife
D. is afraid of his wife
B. A Mountain Village.
C. Rip Van Winkle.
D. A Dutiful Husband.
was 7:0 pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.
By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless.
Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some
food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads.
Jane and David left hungry and angry.
Their experience suggests that the words and the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone
reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:30-8:30pm means drinks
only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8:00 pm or 8:30 pm means possible dinner, but 9:30 pm and any time
thereafter means no food, oat beforehand, roll up late.
But this is not always the case. If asked to a students" party at 6:30 pm, it is normal for guests not to
appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive-looking eager-is social death.
When my mother is asked to a party for 6:30, she likes to be them, if not on lime, then no later than seven.
My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think we"re young,
we"re probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.
The accepted custom at present is confusing (混乱的), sometimes annoying, and it often means you
may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element (成分) of surprise.
B. crazy
C. curious
D. hopeless
B. party invitations can be confusing
C. people should ask for food at parties
D. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull
B. particularly thoughtful
C. friendly and polite
D. socially unacceptable
B. care little about the party time
C. haven" t really grown up yet
D. like surprises at parties
B. It" s wise to eat something before going to a party.
C. It" s important to follow social rules of party-going.
D. It" s necessary to read invitations carefully.
from its immigrant community, complete with dancing and other forms of amusement from their native
countries. "Toronto is truly multicultural (多元文化的)," he said in a newspaper interview. "It"s a city from
many places, and a multicultural marketplace will help Torontonians to understand and appreciate the rich
variety of cultural groups in our city."
Salvatori, aged 23, will soon complete his studies at the University of Toronto. He was eleven years old
when he came to Canada from Italy with his parents. "Most of Toronto"s immigrants are from lands where
the marketplace has always been part of daily life," he said.
Salvatori has been interested in getting an open-air market for Toronto for the last three years. This year,
with the help of two fellow students, he prepared a proposal on the subject and presented it to the city"s
Executive Committee, asking for their support. The proposal pointed out Toronto"s rich variety of national
groups, "whose customs include market shopping."
Under a Canadian government program for multiculturalism, the three students have received two thousand
dollars with which they will do a study to find out whether Toronto"s immigrant businessmen would support
and open-air market. They hope the merchants will support the plan strongly. "A study done earlier this year
showed that 90 percent of shoppers would be in favor of it," Salvatori said. "At first it would be an experiment.
But we think it will prove to be good business for the merchants, as well as a tourist attraction."
C. To inspire its immigrant community
B. To keep the cultural variety of the city
D. To satisfy its immigrant merchants
B. to start a marketplace
C. to perform a research
D. to operate a business
B. community service
C. travel industry
D. city planning
B. the plan of an open-air market
C. the request of merchants
D. the attitude of shoppers
