However, it is also in the smaller unnoticed matters that problems can develop.What I have in mind here is hospitality (好客) and generosity (慷慨).There was an occasion when I wanted to get something made as a present for my daughter andasked a very good Chinese friend for help. She had it made for me, but then, out of herown generosity, refused to let me pay her back for it. I am sure the sum involved was notgreat, and truly, I do appreciate ( 感激) her generosity. However, at the time, it felt asif the present for my daughter was no longer my present, which I found both impossible toexplain and also quite hard to accept.Then there are the friends and people I work with who are nearly impossible to take outto a meal. To them, I am a guest in China and it is their duty as the host to pay for themeal.I do not wish to sound critical of Chinese traditions of hospitality andgenerosity - farfrom it. Indeed, I worry that our Western traditions, which seem rather vague (模糊) incomparison, may give visitors to our country the impression that we are sorely lacking insuch matters. But for someone from a cultural background where you each pay your own round,it is nice not to be a guest the whole time.61.61.It is possible that the foreign guest to China is unappreciative and misunderstandsthe Chinese hosts generosity.TF62.62.The Chinese friendsform of generosityin terms of gift-givingmakes the authorfeelat ease.TF63.63.It is next to impossible for him to take his friends and people from work out for dinnerbecause they stick to their own way of treating guests.TF64.64.The author would like his Chinese friends to let him display the generosity of hisculture.TF65.65.The authors attitude towards Chinese hospitality and generosity is disapproving.TFPart 4 Skimming and Scanning (Short Asnwer)Part 4 Skimming and Scanning (Short Asnwer)(Each item: 1)Directions:Directions:Read the following passage.

It was a powerful country, and the people living there were wealthy.They created a highly developed way of life. They could control their water supply, andwere able to create volcanic eruptions ( 火山爆发). Yet their greatest development was inusing crystals ( 水晶) to collect energy from the sun,moon, and stars to produce power forthe country. But this highly developed civilization was destroyed by an earthquake and wasswallowed (淹没) up by the sea.The story of Atlantis was told by the Greek philosopher Plato in about 360 BC. His writingshold the only direct description we have of the country. But the story lives on and manypeople still search for the island.Dozens of historians and famous writers have, since Plato, written about the Atlantis theybelieve existed. They often claim to have found evidence to support their theories. Forexample, the island was even marked on ancient Greek maps studied by Christopher Columbusbefore he set sail in search of India.In the summer of 1973, some researchers announced that they had found evidence to provethe existence of Atlantis. They said they had found over 30 ruins (废墟), including pyramids,domes (圆屋顶), paved roads, and buildings, on the bed of the Atlantic Ocean in the exactplace described by Plato. But many people dont believe it. They think the Atlantis taleis make-believe and a myth that only existed inside Platos mind. They say there is no waysuch an advanced civil
