31、e.The common goldfish is the most popular pet in the world.It also makes an ideal first pet because it is so undemanding,hardy,colourful and gentle.Goldfish introduce their owners to the responsibilities of caring for a living creature.They are also educational since this is a pet that lives in a to
32、tally different world to our own.People can relate to their goldfish,too;often“Goldie”becomes one of the family and can live to see a future generation of that family because with proper care the fish will live for 30 years.Every goldfish is an individual with its own characteristics.It can recognis
33、e its owner and will rise to be handfed.It is also the one pet that can be safely left when you go on holiday.It makes no noise,no mess,no smell and with a few simple rules will brighten any home as a living ornament.GOLDFISH ORIGINS Goldfish are carp,one of the Cyprinid family,which includes many c
34、oldwater fishes.A cousin to goldfish are the larger and colourful koi,but these fish should be kept in ponds.Goldfish have originated m pond fish,too,kept as pets by fish farmers over 1000 years ago in China.To this day,the finest examples of exotic goldfish are imported from China.HELP AND ADVICE M
35、anufacturers of aquariums,fish foods,accessories and remedies often offer a free back-up service to help aquarists with any problems.For example,the author of this article can supply a free brochure on goldfish keeping,plus help and advice on all aspects of the hobby.The addresses of the various gol
36、dfish societies are also available,just drop me a line at the Aquarian Advisory Service,Waltham Aquacentre,PO Box 5059,Melton Mowbray LE 14 4ZN.Don t forget to include your own name and address for the reply.Fishkeeping is fun and can be exciting,especially if you join the clubs.Tanks are decorative
37、 and can light any dark corner of a room.Fishkeeping is also therapeutic;gazing into their silent world actually slows your heart rate,so calming nerves.But it is also a responsibility-a goldfish is for life.57.Like other pets goldfish have to be looked after every day.58.Goldfish are attractive dec
38、orations for the home.59.Some goldfish imported from China are very expensive.60.Goldfish have their own personalities and they can recognise their owner.61.Goldfish can live to see a future generation of the family with proper care.62.Goldfish respond to attention from people.63.All varieties of go
39、ldfish will live happily in a simple bowl.Section C(7 points)Directions:In this section,you will read an article about communication.Choose from the list(A-H)the sentence which best summarises each part(64-70)of the article.There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.A American“openness
40、”can cause offence.B Some cultures communicate by using signals.C The commonest form of greeting is the kiss.D Using body language can say much more than words.E The international business community is busy learning languages.F The handshake is a universal form of greeting.G Jokes are often used to
41、ease the formality of a situation.H Greeting people with a kiss can create confusion.In other cultures,what you do may be more important than what you say.64 One of the most important aspects of doing business internationally is being able to speak other languages.For this reason,there is a current
42、boom in language learning for business people.But unless they can speak a foreign language really well,it is best to save it for socialising.65 But actions speak louder than words,and psychologists say that your body language is much more important than what you say.Doing the wrong thing,making eye
43、contact,touching,using peoples first names,even how you eat and drink-can all be hazardous for people who are unfamiliar with certain cultures.66 Cultures are divided into“low context”and“high context”.In low context cultures such as North America,Britain,Sweden and Germany,people say things very pl
44、ainly,and rely on clear verbal communication.High context cultures such as France,Japan,Spain,Saudi Arabia,China and South Korea often use silence or hand signals to communicate,and this can sometimes be as important as speaking.67 Shaking hands is often the most common form of greeting people,but e
45、ven this can create problems.In Japan,people bow to each other.In England,people shake hands firmly-but not very often-while in places like Italy and France people shake hands all the time but not as firmly as the English.The Germans and the Danish nod their heads while they shake hands,as a mark of
46、 respect,while people in Mediterranean countries sometimes lean their heads backwards while doing the same thing.68 People from“low context”cultures tend to look into other peoples eyes,but in“high context”cultures such as the Chinese and Japanese,this can be interpreted as aggressive behaviour.As a
47、 rule,though,close physical greetings such as kissing are not a good idea.For example,the British kiss each other once,on the right cheek,the French kiss each other twice,first on the left cheek and then on the right,but in some cultures,especially in the Middle East,they kiss up to four times and s
48、till shake hands!69 Trying to make people from other cultures feel comfortable can be confusing as well.Americans often use first names as a way of making instant friends,but this does not always work,especially with the Germans and the English.For although all three are“low context”cultures,the Bri
49、tish and Germans are not quite as“open”as the North Americans.70 One thing the British and Americans do share when meeting each other,however,is the desire to break the ice by making a joke.Some cultures,especially the“high context”ones,could find this rude or disrespectful.Cultures and peoples vary
50、 so much,though,that it is impossible to please all of the people all of the time.The best thing you can do under these confusing circumstances is to be polite to everyone you meet.Section D(10 points)Directions:In this section,there is one passage followed by 5 questions.Read the passage carefully,
