The Polish take great pride in their culture. Our culture has many different

3

B．learner D．winner

customs and traditions. I will discuss three of these traditions and customs.

The Polish will say “Dziekuje” (“thank you”) only after receiving their change. What I mean by this is that when you are in Poland, you should

wait to say “thank you” until after you have been given your change back. If you do not, you are telling cashiers (收银员) that they can “keep the change.” Often, people visiting Poland will feel that things are very expensive, until they learn that they are giving the store clerk permission to keep the money that would have been given back.

Polish people break “bread” with their families during their Christmas Eve meal. The Christmas Eve celebration starts with the breaking of the Oplatek, which is a thin piece of “bread”. In my family, the eldest in the family (my grandfather) takes the big Oplatek and breaks it into large pieces that he then hands down to each of his four children (my aunt, uncles, and father). Then, these family members break their pieces into smaller sizes and pass them out to their own children. Once the last piece is passed down to the youngest, we say a prayer (做祷告) and eat the piece of thin bread.

Polish people celebrate “Imieniny”， or Name's Day. This day is more important than one's birthday. They often name their children after a saint (圣徒) whose day is closest to the date that they were born on. Then their saint's day that they were named after becomes their “new” birthday. On Name's Day, families and friends gather together and enjoy a variety of food, drinking, and dancing.

As you can see, Poland has a few very unique (独特的) traditions and customs. I honor my Polish culture and will pass it on to my own children because it is important to know one's own culture.

语篇解读：本文是说明文。作者是波兰人，他讲述了波兰的三种传统习俗。 1．In Poland, if you say “Dziekuje” before getting your change，________. A．the store clerk will keep it B．the product will be changed

C．the store clerk will check the money D．the product will be returned to the store

解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的第一句和“If you do not, you are telling cashiers (收银员) that they can ‘keep the change.’”可知，在波兰，如果你在收银员给你找钱之前说“Dziekuje”，就等于让收银员留下零钱。

2．On Christmas Eve, the author will receive “bread” from ________.

4

A．his grandfather C．his aunt

B．his uncle D．his father

解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then, these family members break their pieces into smaller sizes and pass them out to their own children.”可知，在圣诞节前夜作者会得到他父亲切的面包。

3．A Polish person's Imieniny is ________. A．a day to visit families and friends B．more important than Name's Day C．near to his or her birthday D．a day to honor a saint

解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“They often name ... birthday.”可知，在波兰，孩子经常以某位圣徒名字命名，哪位圣徒的纪念日与孩子的生日最接近，人们就选哪位圣徒命名。故选C项。

4．What does the author think of Polish traditions and customs? A．He feels proud of them. B．He shows no interest in them. C．He is worried about them. D．He considers them very funny.

解析：选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I honor my Polish culture ... own culture.”可知，作者以自己国家的传统习俗为豪。
