I?m out with Benji again. It?s cold and rainy today, so we?re going fast. As I?m coming through the forest, it starts raining hard, so I run. Suddenly, I?m slipping and falling and, before I know it, I?m lying on my back. Ouch! That hurts.
Then there?s someone there and a voice says, “Are you all right? That was a bad fall.” I look up and see the boy again from yesterday.
“I?m OK, I think,” I say slowly and the boy helps me up. Benji arrives and the boy pats（拍）his head. “I haven?t seen you at school. Do you live near here?” I ask.
“No, I?m from Manchester,” he says. “Listen! I have to go. Are you OK to walk home? Do you need help?” “No, I?m fine. Thanks!” I say, as the boy walks away.
“Hey, I?m Grace. What?s your name?” I call, but he?s already gone.
Back home, Mum?s watching the news. “Hi, Grace. Have you heard about this boy, Mark?” she asks. “Boy, what boy?” I say.
“A boy from Manchester. He?s run away from home. Look! This is his dad.”

Nobody likes to be watched while they?re reading a book, but we?re willing to make an exception（例外）if it means getting to visit this very splendid new library in China, because the building structure has a big object in the middle that looks just like a big eye.
Located in the Binhai Cultural District in Tianjin, the five-storey library, which was designed by a Dutch design firm together with the Tianjin Urban Planning and Design Institute, has since been called “The Eye of Binhai”. It covers 34,000 square metres and can hold up to 1.2 million books.
But there?s a catch: its swirling（旋转的）bookshelves don?t actually hold thousands of books. Look closer and you?ll notice that the shelves are printed with digital book images. About 200,000 real books are available in other rooms of the library, but the main room is mainly designed for socialization and reading.
Taking just three years to complete, the library includes a reading area on the ground floor, lounge areas（公共休息区）in the middle sections and offices, meeting spaces, and computer/audio rooms at the top. Although we?re not sure how much studying we?d get done, we?d be far too busy appreciating the awesome architecture!

The world of flamenco（弗拉门柯舞）interests me greatly. That is why I decided to find out more about it, to discover more about where it comes from.
Flamenco is originally from Andalusia, a region in southern Spain. It was originally the dance of Spanish gypsies（吉普赛人）who came to southern Spain through Iran, Iraq, Greece and Turkey. The gypsies used all of these different cultures to create the flamenco dance and music.
The gypsies were very different from the Spaniards. They spoke their own language. Their clothes were also different, and for these reasons Spanish society tried not to accept them.
The gypsies used Moorish, Jewish and African influences to form flamenco. Flamenco music often sounds sorrowful, showing the hard lives of the gypsies who had to do labor work to get by. The roots of flamenco therefore lead us back to lives of hardship and sadness.
However, it was in Jerez de la Frontera that the gypsies managed to find their place. They managed to integrate（融合）into society and were more accepted by the Spaniards.
I spent a year in Cádiz, a city famous for its flamenco. There were so many opportunities to see flamenco shows. Their style of flamenco is known for having a more cheerful style, which I enjoyed.
What I really like about flamenco is the beautiful clothes the women wear. They are often red and flowing and the women often wear a red flower in their hair. The flamenco movements show lots of passion and energy, and I like the way the dancers? shoes make a ?clacking? sound on the floor as they dance. 32. What can we know about Spanish gypsies from the passage? A. They were influenced by different cultures. C. They made a living in Spain by doing music.
B. They refused to make any change in Spain. D. They were accepted by Spaniards immediately.
33. What does the underlined phrase “get by” most probably mean? A. Move abroad.
B. Manage to survive.
4
C. Dance around.
D. Become richer.
34. Which of the following will the author most probably agree with? A. Flamenco music was very joyful. B. Flamenco is famous for its clothes. C. Flamenco is a product of Spanish culture. D. Flamenco was rooted in gypsies? daily life. 35. What is this passage mainly about? A. The gypsies.
B. A special language. D. Famous Spanish cities.
C. A kind of dance.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is common to experience culture shock when living in a foreign country for the first few months. The food isn't what you?re used to; the people don?t make sense. You feel anxious and confused by all the things around you—the language, the music, the faces, and the smells. 36
Keep an open mind.
37 Also, if you are going to a country you know little, try to get a little background information. As you learn about the country in which you are going to stay, keeping an open mind is necessary.
Try hard to learn the local language.
Depending on where you come from and where you are now, you may or may not have trouble with the native language. 38 It cannot just improve your communication skills, but a way to understand more of the culture.
39
Of course, you?ll learn even more if you make local friends. They?re experts in their own culture and will be able to explain all the crazy little questions you have. And if they?re truly good friends, they?ll pull you aside and tell you if you?re doing something rude or strange.
Most importantly, have a sense of humor!
Don?t be too hard on yourself if you make a cultural mistake or don?t know what to do in a social situation. 40 Most people will admire your effort to understand their ways. A. Push yourself to make local friends. B. Teach others about your own culture.
C. Laugh at yourself and others will laugh with you.
