Lingling is going to introduce Chinese culture to them. She wants to talk about the following things.In
13、 China, the tea drinking habit started from Tang Dynasty (618-907AD). It became a national tradition. Over the centuries, writers and artists wrote many wonderful articles in order to show their love to tea and Chinese tea culture.One of the best-known writers is Lu Yu. Traditional Chinese Medicine
14、(also known as TCM) includes a lot of traditional medical methods beginning in China. TCM methods include treatments such as herbalmedicine ( 中 草 药 ). Traditional Chinese medicine is veryscientific through careful study of nature and the human body.In China, a whole fish means richness. At a party,
15、it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last, pointed towards the most important guest. Fish also has a special meaning because Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word forrichness.The Chinese zodiac, known as Shengxiao, as follows a twelve-year cycle.

18、e same office with me. Beside him stood another young man. Philip introduced me to the young man, named Stephen. He told me that Stephen would take one of my classes Introduction to American History. Stephen asked if my class was going to be hard. I felt he was worried about failing before the openi
19、ng day of classes. We talked about what the class would cover and I saw Stephens eyes getting big with fear.Then I remembered a classical dialogue: Question: “How do you eat an elephant?” Answer: “One bite at a time.”I told him to deal with his work that way to do all his assignment (作业) and to hand
20、 them in on time. I added that most successful students I knew made a timetable in order to plan their study well.As time went on, I learned more of Stephens story. He had difficulty in study when he was in the middle school. Family members, including his mother, kept telling him that he was a failu
21、re. He told me that before coming to our college no one had believed he had much potential (潜力).Stephen didnt become an “A” student. Still, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignment on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized part
22、s. By passing course after course he began to build up bit of self-respect.Every time I saw him, he would brighten up and say, “One bite at a time.” He told his friends that he was succeeding when he was supposed to be failing. His secret, he said, was that he was practising what I taught him before
23、 classes ever started: “Take it one bite at a time.”24What is the relationship between the writer and Stephen?AFather and son. BTeacher and student.CClassmates. DColleagues.25To plan their study well, most successful students .Amade a timetable Bchose many coursesCasked teachers questions Dtook note
24、s carefully26Stephens story mainly tells us that .Ait is hard to pass courses in college Bwe all need good luck to make a successCbad things can turn out to be good sometimes Dtaking one bite at a time can help students succeed Before I studied psychology ( 心 理 学 ), I used to think that funny things
25、 make people laugh. While I was right about that, I discovered that there are lots of other psychological factors ( 因 素 ) that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh and the more reasons th
26、ere are, the more powerful the joke will beIf your joke supports the opinions of a person, he will laugh more.I was attending a talk show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of the way pedestrians (行人) cross the streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people stro
27、ngly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed the streets carelessly. The joke wasnt only funny, it also made people feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the
28、 happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they gotThe better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you are jealous (嫉妒) of a friend, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the
29、same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then most probably you will laugh at it louder than if you werent jealous of himIn short, we dont laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in t
30、he joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling (贬低) someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a persons emotions in any possible way, he will certainly like it a lot. You can do this in a better way by supporting their opinions without
31、 making fun of anyone in a funny way to make them laugh.27Before studying psychology, the writer thought .Aonly good jokes made people laugh Bmany factors led to people laughingCfunny things could make people laugh Dlaughing could make people healthy28Why did people laugh loud at the pedestrians in paragraph 2?ABecause they played a joke on the pedestrians.BBecause the pedestrians behaved in a funny way.CBecause they could feel the pedestrians happiness.DBecause their emotions were supported by the show.29What is the writer
