When I was a high school student, I was faced with the world with the innocence (天真). I had always been attracted by the idea of learning a new language, but I had never truly understood the challenges involved. That was until one day, when I decided to take the risk and learn Spanish.
It all started when I visited my cousin in Spain, Watching her continuously communicate with locals in their native language, I was filled with envy (羡慕、嫉妒). Although I can speak English and a little French, I was still missing an important tool: a deep understanding of another major language.
So, I did what any determined teenager would do; I start to learn Spanish. I downloaded languagelearning apps, bought textbooks, and even signed up for private classes. Actually, it was not easy. The grammar rules were different, the vocabulary unfamiliar, and the pronunciation challenging.
But I refused to give up. I spent hours listening to Spanish music and watching Spanish language movies. I roleplayed with my teacher, speaking aloud and making mistakes. These learning experiences sharpened my Spanish skills. Gradually, the language started to feel more natural. Months passed, and my hard work began to pay off. My Spanish improved, and I felt confident enough to try speaking it in reallife situations. The first time I ordered a meal in Spanish in a restaurant, I felt like an explorer conquering a new land.
Now, when I look back on that version of myself, I can’t help but feel proud, It might have taken months of hard work and latenight study sessions, but in the end, the journey was more than worth it. It has given me a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me.

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other caregivers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
46. What does the author say about silence in conversations
A．It implies anger.
B．It promotes friendship.
C．It is culturespecific.
D．It is contentbased.
47. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought
A．The Chinese.
B．The French.
C．The Mexicans.
D．The Russians.
48. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence
A．Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B．Break it while treating patients.
C．Evaluate its harm to patients.
D．Make use of its healing effects.
49. What may silence mean in Asian culture
A．Agreement.
B．Following instructions.
C．Respect to classmates.
D．Respect to grandparents
50. What may be the best title for the text
A．Sound and Silence
B．What It Means to Be Silent
C．Silence to Native Americans
D．Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold

Dear Jenny,
I am really sorry to hear that you feel bad after entering the high school.
Don’t worry too much. It is common for new students to have such feelings. Here are some practical suggestions for you. First, you can invite your classmates to take part in some activities after school, which will help you make more friends. Besides, offer help to classmates when they are in trouble. In return, you can turn to them for help when you meet with difficulties. I believe you will get used to the new school life soon.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
