AI work with Volunteers for Wildlife，a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley．Trying to help injured，displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking； survival is never certain．However，when it works，it is simply beautiful．I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown．She had found a young owl （猫头鹰） on the ground．When I arrived，I saw an owl of 2-3 months old．It had already been placed in a carrier for safety．I examined the chick（雏鸟） and it seemed fine．If I could locate the nest，I might have been able to put it back，but no luck．My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree．The homeowner was very helpful．A wire basket was found．I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and fortable．I placed the chick in the nest，and it quickly calmed down．Now all that was needed were the parents，but they were absent．I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks．These advertise the presence of chicks to adults； they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well．I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring．A nervous night to be sure，but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all!The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings．I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active．And it was acpanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all﹣LUNCH！The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so．21.What is unavoidable in the author's rescue work according to paragraph 1？ A．Efforts made in vain．B．Getting injured in his work．C．Feeling uncertain about his future．D．Creatures forced out of their homes．22.Why was the author called to Muttontown？ A．To rescue a woman．B．To take care of a woman．C．To look at a baby owl．D．To cure a young owl．23.What made the chick calm down？ A．A new nest．B．Some food．C．A recording．D．Its parents．BA young painter had just pleted a beautiful painting. To get people's opinions about his painting skills, he put his painting at a crossing on a busy street and put up a board that read," Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. Since I'm new, I might have made some mistakes in my work. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake. ”When he came back in the evening, he was pletely shocked to see that the whole painting was filled with crosses. He ran to his master and said to him, "I’m useless and if this is what I have learned to paint, I'm not worth teaching.”The master smiled and said, "I'll let you know that you are a great artist. Now go to paint the same painting again and give it to me.” Then they went to the same street the next morning and put the same painting exactly at the same place. Now the master took out another board which read, "Gentlemen, I have painted this piece . I might have made some mistakes in my painting. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. If you see a mistake, pick up the brush and correct it. " Two days later, they came back to the place. The young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction.If you want to help people improve their behavior, you’d better learn how to help people change their behavior, attitudes and skills. Also, always remember not to judge yourself by someone else’s criticism(批评), because you are the best judge to judge yourself.24. Why did the young painter put his painting on a busy street?A. To let others know he was skillful B. To make money by selling his paintingC. To get others' ideas about his painting skills.D. To let his teacher know he was a good student25 .

By teaching the student more painting skills.B. By asking people not to put any crosses on the paintingC. By painting a different painting himself and putting it on the street.D. By putting up a board with different words beside the same painting. 27 . What is the best title for the text?A. Be proud of yourself B. Learn how to helpC. don't judge other people D. Never give others crossesCMeeting people from another culture can be difficult． From the beginning， people may send the wrong signal（信号）． Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship．Different cultures emphasize （强调） the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree． For example， business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust． Even with people at work， it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk"， usually over a glass of tea， before they do any job．In many European countries——like the UK or France—— people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office．Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures． I once made a speech in Thailand．I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion； instead there was an unfortable silence． The people present just stared at me and smiled．After getting to know their ways better， I realized that they thought I was talking too much． In my own culture， we express meaning mainly through words， but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary．Even within Northern Europe， cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly， English and German cultures share similar values； however， Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly． We think that they are rude． In fact， this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly．People from different parts of the world have different values， and sometimes these values are quite against each other． However， if we can understand them better， a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other．28.In some countries， eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to ．A．develop closer relationsB．share the same cultureC．get to know each otherD．keep each other pany29.The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that ．A．the English prefer to make long speechesB．too many words are of no useC．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD．even talk and silence can be culturally different30.According to the text， how can people from different cultures understand each other better？ A. By sharing different ways of life．B. By accepting different habits．C. By recognizing different values．D. By speaking each other' s languages．31. What would be the best title for the text？ A. Multicultural Environment．B. Cross﹣Cultural Differences．C. How to Understand Each Other．D. How to Build Up a Relationship．DKnowing how to municate well needs very personal attention between you and another human being. Is there a better way to learn how to municate effectively?
