When I took him my shoes, he at first told me, “I havent time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street. Hell fix them for you right away.But I had my eyes on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman(手艺人). “No. I replied, “The other fellow cant do it well.“The other fellow was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap(鞋带), you might as well just throw away the pair.My man saw I wouldnt give in, and he smiled. He wiped hands on his blue apron(围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week.I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.“See what I can do? he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange dusty felt hat, his funny accent and his pride in his craft.These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption rather than a way to realize their abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.41. Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools.B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais.C. He was proud of his skills.D. He was a native Parisian.42. The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend implies that _. A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him B. it was difficult to communicate with this man C. the man was very strange D. the man was too old43. According to the author, many people work just to _. A. realize their abilities B. gain happiness C. make money D. gain respect44. This story wants to tell us that _. A. craftsmen make a lot of money B. whatever you do, do it well C. craftsmen need self-respect D. people are born equalBIf you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the earlier people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London(UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals(通两种语言的人), who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language, said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible, he said, “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the earlier they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world, explained the scientists.45. What does the underlined part “grey matter (in Paragraph 2) refer to?A. Grey hair. B. Material of the brain.C. Intelligence. D. Difficult situations.46. The experience of learning a second language can _.A. change ones brain completely B. improve ones maths skillsC. make one smarter than others D. increase the ability to learn47. We can learn from the passage that _.A. the researchers from UCL did another study in ItalyB. a similar study was done on native Italian speakers who learn English as a second languageC. the research done on the Italians showed a totally different resultD. it will be easier for one to travel around the world by learning a second language48. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Learning a second language can help improve your brain power.B. You should learn a second language that is not your native language.C. If you want to learn a second language, you should do it at a certain age.D. The research done by the researchers from UCL is very successful.CIdeas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies, such as America and Australia, for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move houses quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So its normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies where longterm relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, its no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you dont want to answer.Cross-cultural differences arent just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.Some societies have “universalist cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. “Particularist societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the societys unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.This difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a universalist culture. The Indian traveler has too much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family. He expects that the checkin official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him. The checkin official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldnt be fair to the other passengers. But the traveler thinks this is unfair, because the other passengers dont have his problem.49. Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians _.A. like traveling betterB. easy to communicate withC. difficult to make real friendsD. have a longterm relationship with their neighbors50. People like Malaysians prefer to associate with those _.A. who will tell them everythi
