根据以下内容回答题:
Expectations for personal relationships differ greatly across cultures.It is important to know that most AmericanS value close friendships,they also value privacy and independence.From an American perspective,to have privacy or to give someone privacy is considered posi-tive.Yet。when the word“privacy”is translated into other languages(e.g.Russian,Arabic,and Japanese).it has more of a negative meaning.(In these languages“privacy”means aloneness or loneliness.)Therefore,the American’s need for privacy is sometimes judged negatively by those who have not been raised with the value of individualism.some Americans are isolated from others because they have taken their independence and privacy to an extreme.Others simply like spending time alone or at least having the freedom to avoid socializing if they choose. In any true friendship,whatever the culture may be, a person is expected to show interest and concen in a friend’S serious problems.But how does one show this across cuhures?It is not possible to generalize about Americans because there are SO manv varieties of Americans.but it is possible to say that many foreigners or newcomers from different cultures have felt disappointed by Americans.A common occurrence is when an American does not Dhone or visit as much.as the foreigner expects.If someone from another culture is having a serious problem,Americans may say,“Let me know if there’s anything l.can do to help.”If the Americans do not receive.a specific request,they may feel that there’s nothing they can do.In this case.They may call every now and then to stay in touch.The friend from a different culture,on the other hand,may be expecting“sympathy calls or frequent visits,and may not hesitate to demon.strate a dependence on a friend.Many Americans arc uncomfortable whrn people become too dependent.
What do Americans lay emphasis on concerning expectations for personal relationships?
A.Close friendships.
B.Privacy.
C.Valuable culture.
D.Both A and B.

Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!
Differences between peoples do, of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.
Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are______.
A.distorted
B.normal
C.similar to each other
D.different from its own

The first and most obvious thing is that a dictionary will【23】you the spelling of a word. If you' re not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in alphabetical order--a, b, c, and so on .For example, on a dictionary page the word "poor" p, o, o, r--comes before "poverty"--p, o, v, e, r, t, y and the word "poverty" comes【24】the word "power'--p, o, w, e, r. The words are always given in alphabetical Order.
The second thing a dictionary will tell you is【25】. Most dictionaries give the pronunciation of a word in a special kind of alphabet. This special alphabet is called a phonetic, or sound alphabet. The phonetic spelling will tell you generally【26】a word is pronounced. There are a few different phonetic alphabets. Many dictionaries use the International Phonetic Alphabet to show pronunciation.
The【27】thing a dictionary will tell you is the meanings of words. You can【28】a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will ex plain all of the word' s meanings. For example, in English the common word" get" has over 20 different meanings. The meaning, of course,【29】the sentence in which the word' is used.
These three things--spelling, pronunciation, and meanings--are some of the important【30】that you learn from dictionaries.

Clay is important because it is used to make containers of all kinds.Workers add water to soften clay.This makes it.easier to form. into shapes by machine.Then it is heated to a very high temperature.The result is a container that.will last for many years. In many countries,clay was formed from volcanoes(火山>.This.kind of clay usually contains many minerals(矿物质).So the fires to make containers from volcanic clay must be hotter that those used for non—volcanic clay.The fires may be as hot,as 1400℃.The high temperature should not be reached too fast SO that the containers can be dried slowly.You can add some materials to clay to gain desired results.For example,you can add sand to prevent tiny breaks or lines from forming on the surface of the final product.But you should not use sand from the coasts of oceans.Instead,you should use sand from rivers or other areas. Clay often exists in fields covered with some water.The clay will be found about one meter below the ground..River banks often also have clay about one meter or less under the surface.Clay is very shiny when it is wet.You can also take some of the material and add enough water to it.Then press it in your.hands until it is about the size of an egg.It is probably clay if it holds together when you stop pressing. What’s the difference between volcanic clay and non-volcanic day?
A.Volcanic clay call be found in very few countries.
B.Non-volcanic clay can be dried more quickly.
C.Non-volcanic clay makes better containers.
D.Volcanic e]ay usually has more minerals.
