I was walking down the road one day when my cellphone rang. I heard a little girl on the other end crying. “Dad, please come back soon. I miss you so much!” Because I just have a little son, I knew it was a wrong number. I angrily replied, “You’ve dialed the wrong number!” and then hung up quickly.

During the following days, I got the same call several times. But I did not give her an answer, she still dialed my number from time to time. At last, I unwillingly answered the phone. I heard a weak voice of that little girl, “Dad, please come back. I miss you so much! Dad, I’m in so much pain! Mom said you were too busy to take care of me. But, Dad, please kiss me again, OK?” The kind of request was difficult to refuse（拒绝）. I made a loud kiss on the phone and heard the weak voice say, “Thank you...Dad, I am so...happy...”

After that, I became interested in the girl. So I called back, and a woman answered, “Sorry, Sir. I am really sorry to trouble you. My daughter has suffered from bone cancer（骨癌）since she was born. And her father...died last week. I didn’t tell her the news. Poor baby! When she couldn’t stand the painful treatment（治疗）, she would cry for her dad, who always encouraged her. I really couldn’t make her sad, so I gave her a wrong phone number...”

“How is your daughter now?” I couldn’t wait to ask.

“She has gone. I believe you must kiss her on the phone, because she went with a smile,” she said, “and I’m glad that she gets rid of（摆脱）the pain and stays with her father forever.”

I couldn’t keep my tears back. I didn’t know what to say, so I slowly hung up my phone wishing her happiness and health there.

Everyone has got two personalities (性)—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control (控制) your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position (姿势) shows the real you. On a night, of course, people often change their positions. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.

If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You usually believe in people and you are easily influenced (影响) by new ideas. You don’t like to make people angry. So you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t quite sure of yourself.

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily unhappy. You always stick to your own opinions or judgment, but you don’t raise your hopes too much. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.

If you sleep curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive (有戒心的). You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.

If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You believe in yourself. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get sad. You always say what you think even if it makes people rather angry.

23. You usually show your secret personality when ________.

A．you are awake	B．you are asleep
C．you control your behavior	D．you change your sleeping position

24. What can you learn from the passage?

A．You usually like to be alone if you sleep curled up.

B．You are often open to others if you sleep on your side.

C．You often make others happy if you sleep on your stomach.

D．You always stick to your own ideas if you sleep on your back.

25. What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Two Personalities.	B．Proper Sleeping Positions.
C．Ways to Tell Your Real Personalities.	D．Sleeping Positions and Personalities.

Take a look at the children around. They are all dressing in baggy-pants (宽松裤) drinking soft drinks such as coke and reading Japanese cartoons. Whether you are in Beijing, Wuhan, Hong Kong, you will get the same impression (印象). But should we copy others or should we keep our differences?

It sounds convenient (方便的) that people around the world speak the same language, dress in the same style, eat the same food and play the same games. If the world was like this, you wouldn’t feel strange in any place of the world. But just imagine living in such a world. How colorless it would be!

Different kinds of food that people can taste, the colorful and fashionable clothes that we dress in and different languages we speak are all part of the different cultures that our ancestors (祖先) left us. These differences show their creativity (创造力) and talent. And we all enjoy different cultures in our daily lives. When you travel to other places, you want to see different things. When you talk to foreigners, you hope to listen to interesting stories. These differences in culture make our life colorful.

But with the development of globalization (全球化), the whole world is shrinking into a small village and many different cultures are disappearing. In most big cities around the world, people wear the same clothes. Fast food stores are everywhere. Hollywood movies are kicking traditional (传统的) arts out of our lives. The colors of our lives are disappearing.

There is a joke that even the panda and zebra want to live a colorful life. So let’s take action to protect our colorful culture before it becomes as simple as black and white.

It’s not difficult. We can learn different kinds of songs, try on traditional clothing and even eat food from different places instead of going to KFC. These can help. And we’re sure you will enjoy it.

26. The writer thinks that cultural differences ________.

A．make the world colorful	B．make communication difficult
C．will improve our creativity	D．will never disappear

27. The underlined word “shrinking” probably means ________.

A．becoming colorful

B．growing in size

C．becoming smaller

D．growing in number

28. Why does the writer write the passage?

A．To show us a strange world.	B．To tell us the future of globalization.
C．To explain cultural differences to us.	D．To encourage us to keep cultural differences.

A Bag of Cookies

Last year I got a part-time job working at the coffee shop near my home. I thought that the job would be easy, pleasant and relaxing. I pictured myself pouring (倒) the best coffees, making delicious cookies, and becoming close friends with the customers.

But I never thought about the women who complained the coffee was much too creamy, or the men who wanted their iced coffees remade again and again. There was always too much sugar, too little ice, and not enough milk. I couldn’t seem to please anyone, so I was a little sad.

One rainy afternoon, one of my customers, Hank, came in and looked unhappy. I asked what his trouble was. He just said he wanted to go back home and threw himself into bed. I knew truly how he felt. Before he left, I handed him a bag with his iced coffee. He looked at me questioningly because he hadn’t ordered anything but the coffee. He opened the bag and saw his favorite cookies.

“It’s on me, my treat (请客)” I told him. “Have a nice day.”

The next day the rain was still pouring down from the sky. I spent my afternoon working with the open windows, handing people their orders and waiting as they slowly paid for. I tried to smile as the customers complained about the weather, but it was difficult.

At about ten o’clock that morning, Hank drove up to the window. But he didn’t order anything, he handed me some flowers and a little note. With a friendly wave he drove away. I read the note:

Christine,

Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday. I was really moved by you. Please don’t change your ways because I truly believe that you can make the world warm. Have a great day! Hank

As time went on, I did meet more complaining customers. But anytime I was down, I thought of Hank and his kindness. Then I would smile, hold my head up high and ask politely, “How can I help you?”
