In the park，you see a group of people，all looking up at the sky． Without thinking about it， you look upwards， too． Why？ In the concert，someone begins to clap and suddenly the whole room joins in． You do， too． Why？
Sometimes we feel we are acting correctly when we do the same as others． The more people follow an idea， the better or truer we think the idea is． It's the social proof （社会认同感）that works．
The scientist Asch carried out an experiment． It shows how social proof can influence us． In a room， a man is shown Line 1，and next to it are three lines （A，B，C）． A is longer，C is shorter and B is as long as Line 1． He must tell which of the three lines is as long as Line 1． When the man is alone，he gives the correct answer B． Then， five other men enter the room， and each of them gives the answer C as they were told to． Now the man changes his idea and gives the answer C． Asch got the same result many times among different subjects （实验对象）．
Why do we act like this？Well，in the past， following others was a way to keep from danger．Suppose that 5000 years ago you were hunting （打猎） with friends．Suddenly，they all ran away．What would you have done？ Would you have stayed？ No，you would have run，too．We are descendants （后代） of those who copied others' action． It is so deeply planted in our mind that we still use it now．
Social proof has special power．The advertising industry，for example，often makes use of it．So be careful whenever a company says its product is "the most popular"．

D．people can study better if they are alone
（3）The underlined word "It" in Paragraph 4 refers to ．
A．running with others
B．hunting with friends
C．copying others' action
D．doing something different
（4）According to the passage，we can infer （推断）that ．
A．it's important to run with others anytime
B．products in the advertisement are the best
C．we mustn't copy others' action to keep safe
D．we need to think twice before following others

In the eyes of many foreigners，Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world．And western hosts sometimes look rude（粗鲁的）in the eyes of Chinese guests．It is because the guest﹣host relationship in China is quite different from that in some western countries．
In China，guests are almost like gods．Whenever I enter a Chinese friend's home，there is always fruit on the table for me，and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water．In the west，generally the guest is not a god．Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest．
My wife's mother，a very kind Chinese lady，doesn't smoke．When I see some of her guests smoking in her house，as a non﹣smoker，I feel unhappy．Usually，I want to stop them directly，but I must realize that in China，to be a good host，she must not do that．
In most North American homes，if you are a guest，and the hosts are not smokers，you should not smoke in their house．At the very least，you should ask，"Is it OK if I smoke？"But don't be surprised if they say，"No，you can't smoke．"In my culture，if you smoke in their house，you are a bad guest，but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house，they are not rude hosts．

People in different countries speak different languages． But is there a language that can be understood by everyone in the world？ Emojis might be the first truly universal（通用的） language．
Emojis are a kind of special language． Pictures are used to put meaning across． A group called the Unicode Consortium is in charge of choosing official（官方的）emojis It has added new emojis every year since 2014． These new emojis do not come out of nowhere． They come from what people think about， like and care about．
Emojis can be used to represent （代表） different groups of people． In 2015， emoji faces with different skin tones（肤色） were added． In 2016， different jobs were added，such as doctor， police officer and painter along with female versions of these jobs． This year， emojis of disabled people were added， including emojis of blind people and people in wheel chairs．
But there is also more to emojis． They can also refer to pop culture and new cultural trends．New emojis in 2019 have included several animals， such as sloths（树懒） and flamingos（火烈鸟）． These animals are not very common， but are known to many people． For example， sloths have become popular thanks to the 2016 film Zootopia（《疯狂动物城》）． Many fashion designers have included flamingos in their designs in recent years． This animal makes people feel like they' re on a tropical（热带） vacation．

Every night in Jinan University in Guangzhou，a group of students plays diabolo （空竹） as a crowd watches on in amazement．
Chen Zhelun，25， a Malaysian﹣Chinese started the diabolo club， which helps to increase the popularity of this traditional Chinese game． He is one of many students expressing their interest in the country's cultural heritage（遗产）by starting clubs．
The diabolo， which came from China， is popular among Chinese living in Malaysia．
"We played diabolo from primary school onward． I thought I could find someone to play with in China， but only a few students knew about it． So I started a club to develop it，"says Chen．
To Chen's surprise， the old game has interested a huge crowd﹣ more than 1，000 students have joined the club．
"It keeps your body strong and it's fun，" says Chen．
But some prefer quieter activities． Every weekend， one classroom in Shenzhen University is always crowded， but it's unusually silent． The members of Lanting Calligraphy Club are writing Chinese characters with traditional brushes．
Fan Dongling， 21， a student in Shenzhen University， says it's a shame that young people no longer enjoy the beauty of Chinese characters．
Although her club is quiet， Fan says it keeps members healthy， mentally and physically．
"Some students think traditional things are outdated． They like celebrating Western festivals like Christmas or Valentine's Day， but they seldom pay attention to traditional ones， "says Kong Yanquan， 21，a student in Guangxi University．
As head of the traditional Chinese local operas club， Kong plans to put modern elements （元素）into traditional culture to get students to join his club．

The word culture includes not only the customs of our society， its art， music， but also everyday activities． Cultures give us a sense of belonging in society． So the losing of one's culture is， for many， alarming． Many people believe their traditional ways of life are under threat （威胁）and that something should be done． Yet for some， the losing of culture is a natural result of globalization （全球化）and progress． So is the globalization of culture a threat or a chance？
Those who see globalization as a threat argue that societies are losing special parts of their cultures． For example， Omotik ， a language spoken in east Africa， has only 50 live speakers． There are also increasing fears in China， where the losing of musical and dance traditions， as well as traditional crafts， is causing concern to many． Some argue that it is hard to find differences between London and Tokyo． Young people， whose ideas are often influenced by Western or other popular cultures， often refuse or even give up the traditions their parents grew up with．
Others focus on the advantages of globalization． They accept that Western culture is spreading， but they also point to how Western countries and many other parts of the world are being shown to world cultures． Young Americans enjoy Japanese comic magazines and watch Korean movies． Thai teenagers enjoy pop music from Hong Kong． Many argue that there are advantages to these cross﹣cultural exchanges and that they lead to better understandings between cultures． They say world traditions are celebrated more widely because of these． Chinese New Year， now celebrated in most big cities around the world， is just one of the many festivals that are accepted internationally．
Anyway， many grass﹣roots organizations and governments are making efforts（努力）to protect their cultures． One successful example is Wales． There was a time when social pressures were killing off the Welsh language， but after years of efforts， it is now an active part of Welsh life again． Around the world， similar efforts are going on．

Every 14 days， another language dies． There are many reasons for this． Some people think more common languages have more economic（经济的） power． Because of this， young people choose to learn a common language as they think it is more useful． Another reason is that some languages aren't written down． Guujaaw is a leader of the Haida Nation， whose people have lived on the Queen Charlotte Islands， Canada， for more than 10，000 years． Their language is endangered． Traditionally， it wasn't written down， and， as a result， some people are worried that it will die one day． Guujaaw replies to this，" We talk to each other，listen， visit， and believe in the spoken word． Expressing yourself without writing is natural．" However， if Guujaaw's language and others like it are going to stay alive， writing may have to become part of their lives．
When a language dies， a lot of knowledge dies with it． To begin with， language is a huge part of the culture of the people who speak it． Language allows speakers to say certain things： words that describe a cultural idea may not translate exactly into another language． Furthermore， many endangered languages have rich spoken cultures． Stories， songs and histories are passed on from older people to younger generations （一代）． Elizabeth Lindsey， a language researcher， emphasizes（强调）this．" When an elder dies， a library is burned，" she says．
Also， language death affects our knowledge about nature． Local people often have a deep understanding of plants， animals， and the relationship between them． David Harrison， a researcher on endangered languages， reflects，"80% of plant and animal species（物种） have been undiscovered by science． But that doesn't mean they're unknown to humans．"
Many languages are endangered． However， it's not too late． Children often grow up speaking two languages．"No one…becomes richer by giving up…one language to learn another， "Harrison said． If children feel both languages are important， they will use both．
So， it is necessary that children realize how useful their local language is．
（1）How many reasons are mentioned for endangered languages in Paragraph 1？
A．2．
B．3．
C．4．
D．5．
（2）In Paragraph 2， the writer mainly tells us ．
A． how cultures are passed on
B． how cultures are discovered
C． why languages are written down
D． why languages are important to cultures
（3）The underlined word" affects" in the passage means" "．
A． waits for
B． depends on
C． is different from
D． has an influence on
（4）Which of the following is the writer's opinion ．
A． People need to use common languages more often．
B． The spoken word is more important than the written word．
C． Children are the hope to stop the local language from dying．
D． Many animals and plants are in danger because of dying languages．
There is a popular Chinese saying that "Fair skin（皮肤） will make up for three flaws（缺陷）"． This mentions the fact that in Chinese culture， it is believed that people who have fair skin are more beautiful． In Western culture， however， the opposite is true ﹣ many Westerners think tanned skin is prettier． The example shows that different cultures have different ideas of what they think is beautiful． These cultural meanings of the beauty， however， are no longer important． As more and more people travel overseas， ideas about beauty are being shared among cultures． The Internet has also made it easier for people to share different types of beauty since people are always posting pictures on social media． The result is an ever﹣changing idea of what is considered beautiful．
The cultural practice of ear piercings， for example， has become a part of modern day culture．
In Kenya， it is a tradition among Masai men and women to pierce and then make their ear
lobes（耳垂） longer using ivory and wood or stones． They then wear colorful things on their ear lobes． This is a common practice since longer ear lobes are seen as a sigh of beauty． This tradition has now found its way into present﹣day culture． Nowadays， this might still seem unusual to some， but with more and more well﹣known actors and film stars showing off their longer ear lobes， it will finally become more fashionable．
It is understood that different cultures around the world have different ways of showing beauty． However， since we now live in a worldwide society， people's views about beauty are always changing． With the help of the Internet， people are now able to easily borrow ideas from other cultures to help them stand out． So what new fashions can we expect to see in the future？
（1）What has made it easier for people to share ideas about beauty ？
A．The development of technology．
B．The popularity of the latest fashions．
C．The unchanged cultural traditions．
D．The world's growing population．
（2）What can be learned about the Masai people from the passage ？
A．Longer ear lobes are their new fashion．
B．Only women make their ear lobes longer．
C．They think longer ear lobes look beautiful．
D．They make actors and film stars famous．
（3）The underlined word "them" in the last paragraph refers to ．
A． people
B． ideas
C． cultures
D． fashions
（4）What is the passage mainly about ？
A．People in Asian countries like fair skin better．
B．Beauty is considered important in many cultures．
C．Different cultures have different ideas about beauty．
D．People's ideas about beauty are changing all the time．

The biggest problem is that the children are all hungry for the love from their parents． Many of them can just get a call or a letter from their parents half a year， a year or even several years． So some children can't remember what their parents look like． When they meet their own troubles， they have no one to talk with． Nobody gives them enough care．
