21、As we are writing this book, we are in Venice, Italy, speaking at a meeting on cultural differences.

If we had never travelled to Italy, we would have been shocked by what we’d experienced. All cultures walk on the same side of the pavement as they drive on the road. This means if you’re British, Australian, South African or a New Zealander, you drive and walk to the left. What you’d find is that Italians sometimes bump into you as you walk on the pavement because, as they come near and you move to your left, they move to their right.

You’d also be shocked when you go to shake hands to say goodbye to an Italian but, instead, you get a kiss on both cheeks. “As I was leaving, the Italian man kissed me on both cheeks. I was tying my shoelaces（鞋带） at the time!” Woody Allen wrote in her article.

As you talk with local Italians, they seem to stand in your space, holding your arms, talking over the top of you, shouting in fact, and sounding angry about everything. But these things are a normal part of everyday friendly Italian communication. Not all things in all cultures mean the same things.

When they talk, Italians use their entire arms and body, while English people and Germans stand at attention. Italians keep their hands held high as a way to mean that they want to go on talking. Arm touching during an Italian conversation doesn’t show love or affection, but is nothing more than a way of stopping the listener from raising his hands and taking the turn to talk. To interrupt an Italian you must catch his hands in mid air and hold them down.

【1】Which of the following is true?

A．Italians drive and walk to the right.

B．Italians drive on the same side as the British.

C．Italians like to bump into others when they walk.

D．Italians do not walk on the same side as they drive.

【2】What does an Italian do to say goodbye?

A．To shake hands.

B．To tie the shoelaces.

C．To stand at attention.

D．To kiss on both cheeks.

【3】If you want to stop an Italian from talking, you’ll have to ________.

A．move your entire body

B．hold down his hands

C．look at the floor

D．raise his hands

【4】The passage mainly wants to tell the readers that ________.

A．all cultures drive and walk on the same side

B．if you walk in Italy, don’t bump into others

C．things do not mean the same in all cultures

D．if you travel to Italy, you will be shocked

22、

My mom and dad divorced (离婚) when I was 6 years old. I had to live with my mom. My mom was hard-working because she had to provide everything for both of us in the city. She worked hard to pay for our rent (房租), so there wasn't much money left for other things.

One day, my best friend Frank invited me to his birthday party. My mom just paid the rent and it would be some time until she would get her next paycheck (薪水), so she couldn't help me buy a gift. I brought just a birthday card to Frank. I was old enough to understand, but still felt embarrassed.

23、A boy named William Lindsay comes from Britain. When he was in primary school, he loved studying maps. The saw-tooth (锯齿般的) line in China caught his eye. He decided to visit the line, that is, the Great Wall of China. Driven by this dream, Lindsay set off on his Great Wall journey in 1984. However, he underestimated (低估) its difficulty. Only a few days later, he had to give up because of illness. After returning to Britain, he began to exercise more.

Nothing could stop a willing heart. A few days later, Lindsay continued his journey from Inner Mongolia (内蒙古). After many difficult days of hiking along the Great Wall, he was finally able to arrive at Shanhaiguan, a major pass at the eastern end of the Wall and the end of his great journey.
