16、was a man who thought very much about the food he ate. He was born in Yorkshire， England , in September 1910. And he died in November 2005, at the age of 95. That is a very great age. Watson explained that it was because he never ate any food from animals.When he was a boy, Watson stayed on a farm.
17、.He loved to see the animals. He said that they gave so much to people. And all the animals were so friendly. Then , one day , he saw a man killing a pig . He was very sad. . From then on, Watson decided that he would never again eat meat .Twenty years later he decided that he wouldnt eat anything f
18、rom animals, such as milk, cheese or eggs. He became a vegan.Watson formed a group called “The Vegan Society”. In its newspaper, The Vegan Society thought it was terrible and wrong to eat food from animals. At first, there were not many people who agreed with him. They thought it was crazy to do it
19、.Most people thought it was too difficult and unhealthy. However, over time , more and more people began to agree with Watson and The Vegan Society.People become vegans for many reasons. Watson and his friend stopped eating because they loved animals. They believed that it was wrong to hurt another
20、living thing.Now, people also become vegans for environmental reasons. Keeping animals takes a lot of resources， including water and food. Also, in some places, people are cutting down trees to create more land for cows. By avoiding food from animals, vegans hope to protect these forest areas.Finall
21、y, just like Watson, some people believe that being a vegan is healthier. They believe that food from animals causes heart problems, a high body weight and many other health problems.34.

22、ems. C. because of environmental reasons D. because keeping animals needed lots of resources35. The underlined word “vegan” in paragraph 2 refers to a person_.

The Vegan Society：a special group D. Healthy eating habitsCFacial expressions carry meaning that is determined
24、by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also hasother uses. A womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also
25、 hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Am
26、ericans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile. Our faces show emotions, but we should not attempt to “r
27、ead” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial e
28、xpressionspermitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to showtheir emotions similarly. It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of
29、personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits,
30、we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly. 38. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.? A. Love. B. Politeness.C. Joy. D. Thankfulness39.
