Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks. The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the Woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means "yes".
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, "Do, you have cabbage today?" He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means no.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing~ He soon found out that his students did understand.

Think of somebody you really admire.You will probably find that their success didn't come easily.As "Father of Hybrid Rice（杂交水稻）"，Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life working to reduce world hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population.
Wu Mengchao，the "Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery（肝胆外科）"，focused on saving people's lives for nearly eighty years.He performed more than 16，000 operations during his life.Holding the surgeon' s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers .Wu once said， "It would my greatest happiness if I could work at the operating table until my dying day."
In1969，in order to solve the problem of treating malaria（疟疾），Tu Youyou，pharmacologist （药学家） took on the job as head of a research team.She and her teammates performed different kinds of experiments.However，the results were disappointing.Instead of giving up，they kept trying.Finally，in1972，they made it!In2015，at the age of 85，she received Nobel Prize.
Thomas Edison，the inventor of the light bulb believed that every failure was a step towards success.He once said， "If I find 10，000 ways something won't work，I haven't failed.I am not discouraged，because every wrong try is another step forward.
Sometimes，their success was a surprise，even to themselves.The famous scientist Alexander Fleming said， "When I woke up just after daybreak on 28th September，1928，I certainly didn't plan to revolutionize（变革） all medicine by discovering the world's' first antibiotic（抗生素）.But I guess that was exactly what I did.
Some people only became successful after their deaths.Not like Pablo Picasso who became famous and very rich during his lifetime，the artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend.But he kept painting and he painted more than 2，000 artworks in the following ten years.Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds.

My teacher said to a student： "Give me your phone．"
We all looked in surprise． Kyle， a student who I never saw text in class， gave the teacher his phone．
When the teacher left， two students who I often saw text in class started boastingabout how they sent text messages and never got caught．
"Kyle， you stupid! I put my phone under my desk so it looks like I'm looking at my textbooks，" one of them said．
"Isn't it funny that we always text and never get caught？" the other one laughed．
They must have thought they were smart， because they never got caught and Kyle did． But which situation is worse： getting caught， or getting away with it？ Rules are there for a reason．

People don't just break big rules and get thrown into jail（监狱） overnight． They take it one step at a time． Kyle might have gotten caught， but at least he learned a good lesson． He will not break the rules in the future， so he will learn more in class and stay out of trouble． It's smarter not to break small rules．

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was ______ for the father and the son.

You've been learning words since you were a tiny baby.At first，you learned them only by hearing other people talk.Now that you're a reader，you have another way to learn words.What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don't know what it means？（1） .
Say it
First sound it out.Then say it to yourself.（2） .Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don't know what it looks like in print.So if you match up what you know and what you read ﹣ you have the word!
Use context
If this doesn't work，take the next step：look at the context the other words and sentences around it.Read this sentence：When it rained，the dog looked for shelter in the doorway.（3） .Rain and in the doorway might give you helpful information.
（4）
If the context doesn't help，look at the parts of the word.Does it have any parts you know？These can help you understand what it means.If you don't know the meaning of miner，try looking at parts of the word.You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things.A lot of times， ﹣er at the end of a word means "a person who does something".So a miner might be someone who works in a mine.
Look it up
If the three steps above don't work，you can look it up.（5） ，either a book or online.
Nobody knows the meaning of every word，but good readers know how to understand words they don't know.
Choose five sentences out of the six in the box to complete the passage.Each choice should be used only once.
A.Use word parts
B.Look at the words
C.It might sound like a word you know
D.You can find the word in a dictionary

Do you like Physics or Chemistry？ Matter （物质） is always changing， either physically or chemically． If a material goes through a physical change， it is still the same material． During a chemical change， one kind of matter changes into another completely different kind of matter． For example， when we burn wood or cook fish， materials change． People use chemistry every day in the kitchen． The food we eat has many different natural chemicals． Many of the chemicals in food are necessary parts of a healthy diet．
Much of the food we eat has been changed in some way from its original form． The changes that food undergoes may be chemical or physical． If a change does not affect the food's chemical composition， we call it a physical change． For example， melted （溶解的） cheese has gone through a physical change． It gets softer when it is heated but it is still the same type of material． Any change that changes the chemicals in the food is a chemical change． Bread contains carbohydrates， which are chemicals made up of carbon， hydrogen， and oxygen． When bread is baked （烘焙）， the carbohydrates break down into black carbon and water． The carbon gives the bread a dark color and a crunchy texture （质地）． The water goes into the air．
To get a closer look at the chemistry of baking， let's watch how a carrot cake is made． The main steps of baking any cake are mixing the ingredients （材料） and baking them together． In the course of making cakes， the dry ingredients are mixed first． They are flour， sugar， salt， baking soda， baking powder and spices． Flour gives the cake structure． Sugar helps to make it sweet． Salt strengthens the cake batter． Baking powder and baking soda make the cake rise．
Next， the carrots may be added to the cake． These help give the carrot cake its flavor， texture， and color． The other ingredients in the carrot cake are oil and eggs． The oil makes the cake tender and moist． Eggs serve two purposes﹣the whites help the cake to rise， while the yolks （蛋黄） give it a creamy texture． All of these ingredients form a mixture． This mixture can be separated into its different components （成分） although it is very difficult． Once the cake mixture is formed， it's poured into a cake pan and baked in an oven． The heat from the oven has caused chemical changes to take place． The cake is finished and the ingredients cannot be separated．
（1）The material doesn't change when we ．
A． melt ice cream
B． burn paper
C． bake apple pies
D． cook beef
（2）What's the correct order of baking a carrot cake in the passage？
a． Carrots， oil and eggs are added．
b． The dry ingredients are mixed．
c． The mixture is baked in an oven．
d． Baking powder and soda make the cake rise．
e． Preparing some dry ingredients．
f． The heat from the oven causes chemical changes．
g． The ingredients cannot be separated．
h． The mixture is poured into a pan
A． b﹣a﹣h﹣f﹣g
B． b﹣h﹣c﹣d﹣f
C． e﹣d﹣c﹣a﹣g
D． e﹣c﹣a﹣g﹣d
（3）After reading the passage， we know that ．
A． water and carbon can give the cake a dark color and a crunchy texture
B． people can separate the mixture of eggs and oil into different components
C． chemicals in different kinds of food that people eat are bad for their health
D． sugar and salt can't be put into the mixture to make a cake at the same time
（4）The passage mainly helps us to ．
A． look at the steps of baking cakes closely
B． learn how to make carrot cakes at home
C． have a healthy diet with natural chemicals
D． understand physical and chemical changes
In life，everyone once struggles for a dream，whether it's successful or not．I still clearly remember one day when I was in high school，I saw on a website that China's Got Talent's mass﹣election （海选）for the best singers was going on．I was very excited and decided to go and try out．But it wasn't as easy as I had thought．When I got there，I saw at least 100 people already waiting in line．My hands started to sweat and shake as my turn got close．I got up and started singing，but I sang so badly that I stopped before I even finished the song．Afterwards I quickly said goodbye to my friends and walked home crying．I thought that I would never be able to show my face in public again．
However，after about a year，that terrible experience became a funny memory．I realized that I didn't need to care about losing that dream，because I made a new and more realistic one．I'm good at English，as well as other subjects．I made it my goal to get accepted into Columbia University．Columbia is hard to get into，and about 1，300 students from all over the world are accepted every year．Though it is hard to get into，I think my dream will come true someday by working hard!

It was a sunny Saturday in Oklahoma City． A proud father Bobby Lewis was taking his two boys to visit a museum． He walked up to the penson at the ticket office and said， "How much is it to gei in？"
The person replied， "3.00 for you and 3.00 for any kid who is older than six． We will let them in free if they are six or younger ，How old are they？"
