Suppose you meet a person for the first time who comes from a distant country but is fluent in your language.Would you adapt the tone of your voice,or the spacing of pauses in your speech?Would you adjust your body language and facial expressions,depending on the background of the person in front of you?
   These are just a handful of the shifts in behavior that can contribute to what is known as your "cultural intelligence",or CQ. "The number one predictor of your success in today's borderless world is not your IQ,or not even your expertise (專長), " writes social scientist David Livermore in his book The Cultural Intelligence Difference. "It's your CQ. "
   Typically CQ is measured through a series of questions that assess four distinct components.The first is "CQ Drive"-the motivation to learn about other cultures.Then there is "CQ Knowledge",which is an understanding of some of the general cultural differences you may face. "CQ Strategy" examines how you make sense of those difficult conflicts and learn from them,while "CQ Action" involves your behavioral flexibility-whether you are able to adapt your conduct like a cultural chameleon.
   "While understanding a specific culture can be useful,it may not predict at all your ability to engage effectively in a new place," says Livermore. "In fact,our research finds that individuals who have lived in multiple locations for extended time are more likely to have higher CQ Knowledge than those who have lived multiple decades in one overseas setting. "
   Someone with low CQ might have a tendency to judge everyone else's behavior by his own cultural standards.If he comes from a more sociable environment,for instance,and notices that his Japanese colleagues are very quiet in a meeting,he may assume that they are being unfriendly or bored.A person at the top of the scale,meanwhile,might realize that silence is a sign of respect and that feedback won't be given unless it is explicitly required.As a result,he'll make sure to offer suitable opportunities within the meeting for others to provide their opinions.

(1)Which of the following best describes "a cultural chameleon"?
C
C

A.Learning from other cultures to have a high CQ.
B.Taking action to overcome the communication barrier.
C.Changing behavior according to the cultural background.
D.Getting along well with others despite cultural differences.
(2)What is the best way to get high CQ Knowledge?
A
A

A.Experiencing a variety of different cultures.
B.Spending a long time in a specific culture.
C.Talking with people from a distant country.
D.Living with people in another culture.
(3)What kind of people do the "Japanese colleagues" represent?
C
C

A.People with low CQ.
B.People with high CQ.
C.People from a different culture.
D.People from a sociable environment.
(4)Whom is the text mainly intended for?
D
D

A.Those who are going to be a social scientist.
B.Those who want to learn about CQ Knowledge.
C.Those who conduct some research on CQ and IQ.
D.Those who interact with people from different cultures.

  • 1.When did you last stop to look at a tree?Really look at it ,not merely notice it.Trees play such an important role in our lives and yet day to day we often don' t even notice them;we often take them for granted.Yet if you are looking to strengthen your grounds ,reduce pollution around your school ,improve your children's health and wellbeing and develop your science subject ,then planting trees is certainly the way forward.
       The first and most obvious benefit of starting a tree -planting program is the environmental impact.Children are enthusiastic,and often highly knowledgeable about climate change and the main causes of it.They are also interested in projects that can make a difference to their community' s carbon footprints.Planting trees is an easy and long-lasting way to involve pupils and to have a positive impact on the climate.
       A tee-planting program also offers teachers the opportunity to discuss biodiversity (生物多樣性) and gives pupils the chance to get involved in an actual example.It' s a real-life science experiment and will provide children with amazing habitats to study in science lessons for years to come.
       Planting trees can also have a positive impact on children' s mental health.One in four people in the UK will experience mental health issues at some point in their lives and one in 10 children aged 5-1 6 have a diagnosable (可診斷的) mental health condition ,according to The Children' s Society.Mental health is a complex issue with many causal factors and no simple solutions.However ,according to the Mental Health Foundation ,the opportunity to play and learn in outdoor environments has been quoted in research studies as a significantly positive influence.
       Being active will also improve children' s general health and wellbeing,as well as increasing engagement more generally by providing an enjoyable context for learning.Parents and the community ,o,will enjoy the improved beauty of the school grounds.

    A.Outdoor activities can benefit children' s mental health.
    B.Children' s playtime is reducing gradually in recent years.

  • 2.    Have you learned a lot of English words?Well,many more are being created right now!
        Neologisms appear all the time,especially linked to new technology.This not only represents more work for you but also annoys some native speakers of English.
       Every age has its purists.Tom Chatfield,author of Netymology:A Linguistic Celebration of the Digital World,says that in the16th Century,many people disliked neologisms with foreign influences.The poet Richard Willies said that they were"smelling too much of the Latin".
       In the19th Century,the English poet William Barnes suggested that the word"photograph"should be replaced by"sun print"in order to achieve proper "Englishness".It didn't catch on.
       Now the debate about speech and writing is livelier than ever,says Mr.Chatfield.He thinks the Digital Revolution is as significant as the Industrial Revolution,and there are many inventions and processes which have to be named.
       From text messages and email to chat rooms and video games,technology has over the past few decades brought about an extraordinary new area of verbal exchange.It is not so much about foreign influence but informality and abbreviation.The Oxford English Dictionary acknowledged in 2011 the use of initials such as"oh my God"(OMG),"laughs out loud"(LOL) and"for your information"(FYI).
       We are moving away from spoken words and towards the act of typing on to a screen.We've already grown so used to saying phrases like dotcom out loud that we forget we are speaking punctuation marks.And punctuation took a life of its own with emotions.
       The speed of communication today is matched by the speed with which new words are taken up.Bicycles,automobiles and telephones took decades to become a part of daily life as words and objects.With online offerings,new words are adopted in a matter of months.The verb"to google"has become a part of dozens of languages across the world.
       Where habit leads,language follows.Only time will tell what lasts.Meanwhile,as a student of the English language,you've got a lot of catching up to do.

    (1)What does the underlined word"Neologisms"in Paragraph 2 refer to?

    A.New words.
    B.Old words.
    C.Strange words.
    D.Technological words.
    (2)How does the author prove his opinion?

    A.By experimenting.
    B.By giving examples.
    C.By asking and answering.
    D.By telling stories.
    (3)What's the author's attitude to the new words?

    A.Disappointed.
    B.Concerned.
    C.Subjective.
    D.Objective.
    (4)Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

    A.How to Learn New Words
    B.How to Invent New Words
    C.New Words,Good or Bad
