I was 16 when ne mrning my father tld me I culd drive him int a village, abut 18 miles away, n cnditin that I tk the car int a nearby garage t be serviced. Having just learnt t drive and hardly ever having the chance t use the car, I happily accepted. I drve Dad int the village and prmised t pick him up at 4 p.m., and then drve t a nearby garage. Because I had a few free hurs, I decided t catch a cuple f mvies at a theatre near the garage. When the last mvie had finished, it was six ’clck. I was tw hurs late!
I knew Dad wuld be angry if he fund ut I’d been watching mvies. I decided t tell him that the car needed sme repairs and that they had taken lnger than expected. I drve up t the place where we had appinted t meet and saw Dad waiting patiently. I said srry and tld him that I’d cme as quickly as I culd, but the car had needed sme repairs.
“I’m disappinted that yu feel yu have t lie t me, Jasn.”
“What d yu mean? I’m telling the truth.”
Dad lked at me. “When yu did nt shw up, I called the garage. They tld me that yu had nt yet picked up the car. S yu see, I knw there were n prblems with the car.”
I had t cnfess (承认) t my trip t the mvie theatre. Dad listened as a sadness passed thrugh him.
“I’m angry, nt with yu but with myself. I have failed because I have brught up a sn wh cannt even tell the truth t his wn father. I’m ging t walk hme nw and cnsider where I have gne wrng all these years.”
“But Dad, it’s 18 miles t ur hme. It’s dark. Yu can’t walk hme.” My wrds were useless. Dad began walking alng the rads, silently, thughtfully and painfully. Fr 18 miles I drve behind him.

When living r travelling internatinally, we ntice the differences between cultures befre seeing the similarities. At first, sme differences are easy t spt. Over time, hwever, there are sme curius similarities between hw peple in the UK and China cmmunicate. Indeed, internatinal residents in bth cuntries ften cmplain abut having t read what lcal peple really mean, because it ften differs frm what is said.
In the UK, utsiders ften get cnfused when they realise that a persn making rude cmments was actually shwing lve. In situatins like this, cntext is everything. Likewise, in China, utsiders must infer mst meaning frm cntext and frm what is nt said, rather than frm what is. Otherwise, misunderstandings happen.
The UK and China cntexts share further cultural features which greatly influence hw peple cmmunicate, including the cultural trait (特点) f nn-cnflict. The British will d everything t avid cnflict. They will prbably tell the waiter it was lvely even when served with pr quality fd. This cultural trait can cause majr misunderstandings. Fr example, a British business partner wh is deeply unhappy with yur prpsal will prbably say “there are just a cuple f small cncerns,” rather than telling yu that the entire prpsal is unsatisfactry.
Chinese cmmunicatin shws a very similar cnflict preventin. Often challenges, errrs, mistakes, r prblems remain cmpletely tabs (禁忌) as tpics f discussin, even thugh everyne knws f their existence. Instead, peple talk abut wrking twards further gals r bjectives, rather than directly admit that the current situatin is far frm satisfactry. Likewise, Chinese peple like t keep a sense f harmny within all envirnments, and s avid pen criticism f each ther. This is very similar t the way that a British persn might tell yu a clleague “is very cnfident” rather than that they are rude. In this sense, the British and Chinese can appreciate each ther fr harmny.
8. What des the authr suggest in Paragraph 2?
A. Plite cmments are encuraged.
B. Learning what is nt said is difficult.
C. Cntext is imprtant in cmmunicatin.
D. Misunderstandings ften happen amng utsiders.
9. What will the British and the Chinese prbably bth agree with?
A. Talking ver tabs in discussins.
B. Preventing misunderstandings in wrk.
C. Aviding discussing ne’s mistakes in public.
D. Making use f cultural traits in cmmunicatin.
10. Hw des the authr develp this passage?
A. By using figures.
B. By making cmparisn.
C. By listing reasns.
D. By making classificatins.
11. Which is the mst suitable title fr the passage?
A. Cultural Cntext
B. Cnflict Preventin
C. Cultural Differences
D. Cmmunicatin Puzzles

Whenever we see a buttn, we are eager t press it because we knw smething will happen. This is true in mst cases, fr example n a drbell and n the “n / ff” n the TV. But sme buttns are actually fake, like the “clse” buttn n a lift.
Many peple are in the habit f pressing the “clse” buttn because they dn’t have the patience t wait fr the lift drs t shut. But lifts’ “clse” buttns are a cmplete scam, at least in the US — the drs will nt clse any faster n matter hw hard yu press.
It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed pen lng enugh s that peple with disabilities culd enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttns t speed up the dr-clsing prcess if they have a cde r special keys.
But t nrmal lift riders, the buttns aren’t cmpletely useless. Accrding t psychlgists, fake buttns can actually make yu feel better by ffering yu a sense f cntrl.
“Perceived (能够感知的) cntrl is very imprtant. It reduces stress and increase well-being,” Ellen J. Langer, a psychlgy prfessr, said, “Having a lack f cntrl is assciated with depressin.”
Experts have revealed that a lt f buttns that dn’t d anything exist in ur lives fr this same purpse. Fr example, many ffices in the US have fake thermstats (温度调节器) because peple tend t feel better when they think they can cntrl the temperature in their wrkspace.
But psychlgists fund it interesting that even when peple are aware f these little “white lies”, they still cntinue t push fake buttns because as lng as the drs eventually clse, it is cnsidered t be wrth the effrt.
“That habit is here t stay,” Jhn Kunis, a psychlgy prfessr, said, “Even thugh I have real dubts abut the traffic light buttns, I always press them. After all, I’ve gt nthing else t d while waiting. S why nt press the buttn in the hpe that this ne will wrk.”
12. What was the authr’s main purpse in writing the article?
A. T analyze the functins f fake buttns.
B. T describe sme different kinds f fake buttns.
C. T explain the advantages and disadvantages f fake buttns.
D. T explre peple’s different habits when it cmes t pushing buttns.
13. What des the underlined wrd “scam” mean?
A. Tl.B. Trick.C. Buttn.D. Scan.
14. In America, the “clse” buttns n lifts _________.
A. are fake fr the cnvenience f disabled peple
B. wrk nly when peple press them hard fr a while
C. were specially designed t give peple a sense f cntrl
D. cannt speed up the prcess f clsing the dr in any case
15. Accrding t Jhn Kunis, peple wh press fake buttns _________.
A. shuld give up this habitB. prbably d s t kill time
C. dn’t knw that what they press is fakeD. cnsider what they d t be meaningless

Having just learnt t drive and hardly ever having the chance t use the car, I happily accepted. I drve Dad int the village and prmised t pick him up at 4 p.m., and then drve t a nearby garage. Because I had a few free hurs, I decided t catch a cuple f mvies at a theatre near the garage. When the last mvie had finished, it was six ’clck. I was tw hurs late!
I knew Dad wuld be angry if he fund ut I’d been watching mvies. I decided t tell him that the car needed sme repairs and that they had taken lnger than expected. I drve up t the place where we had appinted t meet and saw Dad waiting patiently. I said srry and tld him that I’d cme as quickly as I culd, but the car had needed sme repairs.
“I’m disappinted that yu feel yu have t lie t me, Jasn.”

Dad lked at me. “When yu did nt shw up, I called the garage. They tld me that yu had nt yet picked up the car. S yu see, I knw there were n prblems with the car.”

When living r travelling internatinally, we ntice the differences between cultures befre seeing the similarities. At first, sme differences are easy t spt. Over time, hwever, there are sme curius similarities between hw peple in the UK and China cmmunicate. Indeed, internatinal residents in bth cuntries ften cmplain abut having t read what lcal peple really mean, because it ften differs frm what is said.
In the UK, utsiders ften get cnfused when they realise that a persn making rude cmments was actually shwing lve. In situatins like this, cntext is everything. Likewise, in China, utsiders must infer mst meaning frm cntext and frm what is nt said, rather than frm what is. Otherwise, misunderstandings happen.
The UK and China cntexts share further cultural features which greatly influence hw peple cmmunicate, including the cultural trait (特点) f nn-cnflict. The British will d everything t avid cnflict. They will prbably tell the waiter it was lvely even when served with pr quality fd. This cultural trait can cause majr misunderstandings. Fr example, a British business partner wh is deeply unhappy with yur prpsal will prbably say “there are just a cuple f small cncerns,” rather than telling yu that the entire prpsal is unsatisfactry.
Chinese cmmunicatin shws a very similar cnflict preventin. Often challenges, errrs, mistakes, r prblems remain cmpletely tabs (禁忌) as tpics f discussin, even thugh everyne knws f their existence. Instead, peple talk abut wrking twards further gals r bjectives, rather than directly admit that the current situatin is far frm satisfactry. Likewise, Chinese peple like t keep a sense f harmny within all envirnments, and s avid pen criticism f each ther. This is very similar t the way that a British persn might tell yu a clleague “is very cnfident” rather than that they are rude. In this sense, the British and Chinese can appreciate each ther fr harmny.
8. What des the authr suggest in Paragraph 2?
A. Plite cmments are encuraged.
B. Learning what is nt said is difficult.
C. Cntext is imprtant in cmmunicatin.
D. Misunderstandings ften happen amng utsiders.
9. What will the British and the Chinese prbably bth agree with?
A. Talking ver tabs in discussins.
B. Preventing misunderstandings in wrk.
C. Aviding discussing ne’s mistakes in public.
D. Making use f cultural traits in cmmunicatin.
10. Hw des the authr develp this passage?
A. By using figures.
B. By making cmparisn.
C. By listing reasns.
D. By making classificatins.
11. Which is the mst suitable title fr the passage?
A. Cultural Cntext
B. Cnflict Preventin
C. Cultural Differences
D. Cmmunicatin Puzzles

Whenever we see a buttn, we are eager t press it because we knw smething will happen. This is true in mst cases, fr example n a drbell and n the “n / ff” n the TV. But sme buttns are actually fake, like the “clse” buttn n a lift.
Many peple are in the habit f pressing the “clse” buttn because they dn’t have the patience t wait fr the lift drs t shut. But lifts’ “clse” buttns are a cmplete scam, at least in the US — the drs will nt clse any faster n matter hw hard yu press.
It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed pen lng enugh s that peple with disabilities culd enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttns t speed up the dr-clsing prcess if they have a cde r special keys.
But t nrmal lift riders, the buttns aren’t cmpletely useless. Accrding t psychlgists, fake buttns can actually make yu feel better by ffering yu a sense f cntrl.
“Perceived (能够感知的) cntrl is very imprtant. It reduces stress and increase well-being,” Ellen J. Langer, a psychlgy prfessr, said, “Having a lack f cntrl is assciated with depressin.”
Experts have revealed that a lt f buttns that dn’t d anything exist in ur lives fr this same purpse. Fr example, many ffices in the US have fake thermstats (温度调节器) because peple tend t feel better when they think they can cntrl the temperature in their wrkspace.
But psychlgists fund it interesting that even when peple are aware f these little “white lies”, they still cntinue t push fake buttns because as lng as the drs eventually clse, it is cnsidered t be wrth the effrt.
“That habit is here t stay,” Jhn Kunis, a psychlgy prfessr, said, “Even thugh I have real dubts abut the traffic light buttns, I always press them. After all, I’ve gt nthing else t d while waiting. S why nt press the buttn in the hpe that this ne will wrk.”
12. What was the authr’s main purpse in writing the article?
A. T analyze the functins f fake buttns.
B. T describe sme different kinds f fake buttns.
C. T explain the advantages and disadvantages f fake buttns.
D. T explre peple’s different habits when it cmes t pushing buttns.
13. What des the underlined wrd “scam” mean?
A. Tl.B. Trick.C. Buttn.D. Scan.
14. In America, the “clse” buttns n lifts _________.
A. are fake fr the cnvenience f disabled peple
B. wrk nly when peple press them hard fr a while
C. were specially designed t give peple a sense f cntrl
D. cannt speed up the prcess f clsing the dr in any case
15. Accrding t Jhn Kunis, peple wh press fake buttns _________.
A. shuld give up this habitB. prbably d s t kill time
C. dn’t knw that what they press is fakeD. cnsider what they d t be meaningless
