Different Cultures

The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish themselves from each other a lot. 【小题1】.

The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries:China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Indus River in India. 【小题2】

When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture,another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian plain(美索不达米亚平原)一the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greek.【小题3】 Like the Chinese culture,the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America,their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't distinguish itself from the European culture a lot.

【小题4】 Take the language system for example. In the East,most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race differences count as well. But what's more,due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West,the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference(干预)from the other.

The differences are everywhere. 【小题5】 But different cultures make the world in the 21st century more varied. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human beings. It ought to be the motivation for our going farther.

A.Let us work together to keep a variety of cultures.
B.One important thing is to learn about the other's culture.
C.And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.
D.This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
E.They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
F.They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.
G.At the same time,some other differences add to the cultural differences.

   As is known to all, nowadays many students are interested in studying abroad.

Attending schools abroad has many advantages. First, by looking at our own country from outside, we can best see the strong points and weak points of our nation and therefore broaden our minds. Second, while studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely, visiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people. Third, we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in that language may be improved quickly. But the most important is to learn advanced(先进的) science and technology. For all these advantages, it is really worthwhile to go abroad for education.

However, as everything has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university. The most serious problem is the language barrier(障碍). Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not prepare themselves well for the new language environment. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying in class. Besides, for not knowing about the customs and way of life of the local people, they may run into trouble in dealing with various situations. Therefore, misunderstandings foten arise. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-time jobs in order to help support themselves. Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and some students may even fail in their courses and learn little.

Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider the factors carefully before making up his mind. On the one hand, it is a good thing to go and study abroad. But on the other hand, one must not neglect(忽视) the disadvantages.

【小题1】According to the passage, the following are all advantages of studying abroad EXCEPT __________.

C.visiting well-known places of interest
D.learning very modern science and technology
【小题2】The underlined word "instructors" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to "__________".
A.neighborsB.teachers
C.strangersD.classmates
【小题3】According to the passage, why do some students find part-time jobs?
A.Because they want to learn more skills in a different country.
B.Because they want to make full use of their time.
C.Because they are not interested in studying.
D.Because they have to support themselves.
【小题4】The passage mainly tells us that __________.
A.studying abroad is a good way to learn more
B.everything has two sides
C.people should think twice before going abroad

What is American Sign Language?

American Sign Language (ASL)is a complete, complex language that employs signs made by moving the hands combined with facial expressions and postures of the body. 【小题1】 It is also one of several communication options used by people who are  deaf or hard of hearing.

Is sign language the same in other countries?

No one form of sign language is universal. 【小题2】 For example, British Sign Language(BSL)is a different language from ASL, and Americans who know ASL may not understand BSL.

【小题3】

The exact beginnings of ASL are not clear, but some suggest that it arose more than 200 years ago from the intermixing of local sign languages and French Sign Language (LSF). Today's ASL includes some parts of LSF plus the original local sign languages , which over the years have combined and changed into a rich,complex, and mature language. Modern ASL and modern LSF are distinct languages. 【小题4】

How does ASL compare with spoken language?

【小题5】 But for people who are deaf (particularly those who are profoundly deaf), the sounds of speech are often not heard, and only some speech sounds can be seen on the lips. Sign languages are based on the idea that vision is the most useful tool a deaf person has to communicate and receive information.

A.Where did ASL come from?
B.How do most children learn ASL?
C.Different sign languages are used in different countries or regions.
D.It is the primary language of many North Americans who are deaf.
E.In spoken language, words are produced by using the mouth and voice to make sounds.
F.Parents should introduce a child who is deaf or hard of hearing to language as soon as possible.
G.While they still contain some similar signs, they can no longer be understood by each other’s users.
