阅读理解。
As we know, there are many differences between Western culture and Chinese culture. We can see these differences in the way people use language, particularly when it comes to words about animals and plants.
In Chinese culture, most expressions (表达) about dogs often carry negative (负面的) meanings, like “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog”, and “a dog catching a mouse” all have negative meanings. However, in Western countries, people think dogs are honest and good friends of people, and often use the expressions about dogs to describe (描述) positive meanings. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means that you are a lucky person, while “every dog has its day” shows the idea that everyone has their moment of good luck. Despite (尽管) these differences, both cultures use the expression “dog-tired” to mean “very tired”.
Cats hold a special place in Chinese culture. They stand for good luck and richness, so people love cats very much. However, Western culture often uses the word “cat” to describe a woman who is rude or unkind. It shows the cultural differences in the use of language.
When it comes to plants, the rose is a symbol (符号) of love, peace, courage, and friendship in both China and some Western countries. It is also the national flower of England, America, and many other countries, showing that people all over the world like it very much.
In all, the words we use to describe animals and plants can be aoss cultures, with some expressions carrying positive meanings while others are negative. By studying how people use these words, we can get a better understanding of the cultural differences between different countries. This helps us become better at speaking different languages, and lets us learn more about different cultures.
1．What does “every dog has its day” mean in Paragraph 2
A．Everybody in the world is lucky.
B．Each person lives his own way of life.
C．If one works hard, he’s sure to be lucky.
D．Everybody has a time in life to be lucky.
2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Words show differences in culture.
B．Chinese people like dogs better than cats.
C．Western people think cats are good friends.
D．Rose is the national flower of all Western countries.
3．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Negative or positive expressions in life
B．Different countries have different cultures
C．The rose means the same in Chinese and English
D．What do ‘dog’ and ‘cat’ mean in English and Chinese
【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B
【导语】本文通过对比中西方文化中关于狗、猫和玫瑰的语言表达差异，说明语言能反映文化差异，学习这些表达有助于更好地理解不同文化。
1．第2段提到“‘every dog has its day’ shows the idea that everyone has their moment of good luck”，意思是每个人都有走运的时候。
2．文章开篇指出“there are many differences between Western culture and Chinese culture. We can see these differences in the way people use language”，说明语言能体现文化差异。
3．文章围绕中西方文化在动物和植物相关语言表达上的差异展开，核心是说明不同国家有不同文化，通过语言差异体现。
十、任务型阅读。
Different Relaxation Ways Around the World

A Party in Paris: What I Learned the Hard Way
Part 1: Read and Explore
When I first moved to Paris for work, I thought I had done my homework. I learned a few French phrases and read about famous landmarks. But nothing prepared me for the party that taught me what it really means to respect another culture.
My French colleague Claire invited me to her birthday dinner. "Come to my apartment at 8," she said. In my country, arriving exactly on time is polite. So I showed up at 7:55. Claire opened the door looking surprised. She was still in her kitchen, food everywhere, hair not done. "You're so early!" she said. I felt terrible. Later I learned that in France, it's normal to arrive 15 minutes late to a party. The host needs that extra time to get ready.
Then there was the gift. In my culture, bringing a gift to a birthday is expected. But I brought wine. Claire smiled politely and put it away. I noticed everyone else brought flowers. My French friend later explained: "Wine is nice, but flowers show you thought about the host personally. It's more meaningful."
The biggest mistake came during dinner. I wanted to be friendly, so I asked Claire about her family. "Are your parents still working Do you have brothers " The table went quiet. Claire changed the subject quickly. Afterwards, she told me gently: "In France, we don't ask personal questions unless we know someone very well. Family, money, age—these are private matters."
I felt so embarrassed. But instead of getting angry, Claire helped me understand. "You're learning," she said. "That's what matters."
By the end of the evening, I was using my few French words—"merci," "c'est délicieux." People smiled. It wasn't perfect French, but it showed I was trying.
Now I understand: respecting another culture isn't about knowing every rule. It's about being willing to learn, to make mistakes, and to keep trying. As Claire said, "We don't expect you to be French. We just want you to care enough to try."
Task 1: Multiple Choice
1. What time did the writer arrive at Claire's party
A. At 8:00 B. At 7:55 C. At 8:15
2. What gift did everyone else bring to the party
A. Wine B. Chocolates C. Flowers
3. Why did the table go quiet during dinner
A. Because the writer asked about Claire's family.
B. Because the writer didn't bring a gift.
C. Because the writer arrived too early.
4. What did Claire say at the end of the story
A. "You should go home."
B. "We don't expect you to be French. We just want you to care enough to try."
C. "Never come to my party again."
Task 2: Match the Advice
Match the situation on the left with the correct advice on the right.
Situation Advice
1. What time should I arrive a. Bring flowers, not wine.
2. What gift should I bring b. Use French words like "merci".

As we know, there are many differences between Western culture and Chinese culture. We can see these differences in the way people use language, particularly when it comes to words about animals and plants.
In Chinese culture, most expressions (表达) about dogs often carry negative (负面的) meanings, like “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog”, and “a dog catching a mouse” all have negative meanings. However, in Western countries, people think dogs are honest and good friends of people, and often use the expressions about dogs to describe (描述) positive meanings. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means that you are a lucky person, while “every dog has its day” shows the idea that everyone has their moment of good luck. Despite (尽管) these differences, both cultures use the expression “dog-tired” to mean “very tired”.
Cats hold a special place in Chinese culture. They stand for good luck and richness, so people love cats very much. However, Western culture often uses the word “cat” to describe a woman who is rude or unkind. It shows the cultural differences in the use of language.
When it comes to plants, the rose is a symbol (符号) of love, peace, courage, and friendship in both China and some Western countries. It is also the national flower of England, America, and many other countries, showing that people all over the world like it very much.
In all, the words we use to describe animals and plants can be aoss cultures, with some expressions carrying positive meanings while others are negative. By studying how people use these words, we can get a better understanding of the cultural differences between different countries. This helps us become better at speaking different languages, and lets us learn more about different cultures.

Different Relaxation Ways Around the World

In Mexico, family is very important. So on weekends, Mexican families usually have big gatherings. They eat delicious food, talk with each other, and play games together. It makes them feel close and happy.
In China, many old people enjoy gardening. My Chinese neighbor, Mr. Li, has been gardening for two years. He grows flowers and vegetables in his yard. He says gardening lets him get close to nature and relax after a busy day.

A Party in Paris: What I Learned the Hard Way
Part 1: Read and Explore
When I first moved to Paris for work, I thought I had done my homework. I learned a few French phrases and read about famous landmarks. But nothing prepared me for the party that taught me what it really means to respect another culture.
My French colleague Claire invited me to her birthday dinner. "Come to my apartment at 8," she said. In my country, arriving exactly on time is polite. So I showed up at 7:55. Claire opened the door looking surprised. She was still in her kitchen, food everywhere, hair not done. "You're so early!" she said. I felt terrible. Later I learned that in France, it's normal to arrive 15 minutes late to a party. The host needs that extra time to get ready.
Then there was the gift. In my culture, bringing a gift to a birthday is expected. But I brought wine. Claire smiled politely and put it away. I noticed everyone else brought flowers. My French friend later explained: "Wine is nice, but flowers show you thought about the host personally. It's more meaningful."
The biggest mistake came during dinner. I wanted to be friendly, so I asked Claire about her family. "Are your parents still working Do you have brothers " The table went quiet. Claire changed the subject quickly. Afterwards, she told me gently: "In France, we don't ask personal questions unless we know someone very well. Family, money, age—these are private matters."
I felt so embarrassed. But instead of getting angry, Claire helped me understand. "You're learning," she said. "That's what matters."
By the end of the evening, I was using my few French words—"merci," "c'est délicieux." People smiled. It wasn't perfect French, but it showed I was trying.
Now I understand: respecting another culture isn't about knowing every rule. It's about being willing to learn, to make mistakes, and to keep trying. As Claire said, "We don't expect you to be French. We just want you to care enough to try."
Task 1: Multiple Choice
1. What time did the writer arrive at Claire's party
A. At 8:00 B. At 7:55 C. At 8:15
2. What gift did everyone else bring to the party
A. Wine B. Chocolates C. Flowers
3. Why did the table go quiet during dinner
A. Because the writer asked about Claire's family.
B. Because the writer didn't bring a gift.
C. Because the writer arrived too early.
4. What did Claire say at the end of the story
A. "You should go home."
B. "We don't expect you to be French. We just want you to care enough to try."
