While you are studying or working abroad,sharing an apartment with people from other cultures is a great way of getting the most out of a period from the beginning.This is a situation to which it will take some time to adapt.Here are some tips to make the process go smoother.

Start by being aware of your own culture,values and attitudes.Understand that people who have not grown up in the same country or context as you can sometimes translate some of your behavior in the wrong way.To avoid this,seek advice from your friends and family to find out more about what type of person you are and what you might come across when it comes to people who don’t know you.You might also consider conducting a little research about what type of stereotypes(成见) other cultures might hold about the people of your own country.

Be understanding and patient.Now that you know that people are all different,be understanding when you get to know them.Try to be open-minded so that you can start off on the right foot.This will promote communication with them.To get to know each other better,plan to spend some time doing what each of you likes to do in your spare time.You can cook meals together,go out to the town,listen to music,take a weekend trip and plan some board games.Moreover,the other person might be from a place where people do not usually do these activities.The opportunities to learn from each other are endless,but sometimes it can take some initiative(主动性) to actually make it happen.

People are more similar than you think most of the time.We grow up in such a large world with so much information everywhere and sometimes we can be misled into thinking something that we should not believe,but we have the opportunity to make up our own minds.So be kind.You don’t know where people come from and what their story is.

4.Why does the author suggest being aware of your own culture?

A.To learn to behave well.

B.To build the sense of independence.

C.To prevent yourself being misunderstood.

D.To gain an insight into other cultures.

5.What can you do for a better understanding of each other?

A.Mind your own business in spare time.

B.Suggest some activities to do together.

C.Involve your roommate in what you like.

D.Team up with your roommate in video games.

6.What does the author intend to express in the last paragraph?

A.The world is so large and people are different.

B.Being friendly is good for cross-cultural communication.

C.People from different cultures should learn from each other.

D.Go to the Internet to get more information about different cultures.

The British poet Matthew Byrne moved to Beijing in 2013 and felt that the capital city’s poetry scene was lacking.His obsession(痴迷)for starting poetry events led to the foundation of the Spittoon Collective in May 2015.“At that time,the literary activity in Beijing was The Bookworm based in Sanlitun” Byrne says.

While some of Beijing’s literary institutions would go on to close in the fall of 2019,Spittoon would continue to grow as a community for poets and writers,as well as musicians and others in the creative scene.

Byrne describes the Spittoon Collective as a platform for people to share ideas,from literary works to different forms of art,with projects developing from the creative energy within the community.

Spittoon originally started as a poetry night at the Mado Bar in Dongcheng District’s Baochao Hutong.Byrne says,“In Beijing,you have these wonderful hutongs,ancient structures where you can walk down and visit cool bars,so I thought it would be good to have a poetry event as it seemed like poetry belonged naturally to this area.”

He adds,“The objective now is to discover Chinese voices and broadcast them to the rest of the world.We create a kind of theme park-like atmosphere where every Thursday is occupied by a different literary style or art form.”

The readings would mainly be in English,but with an international community,a new section called “Poetry-in-Translation” was started,which featured works in Chinese,French,Arabic,Russian,Spanish and other languages.

Joining organized activities like Spittoon can be a major help for those caught up in a boring life.And it’s especially important for the people who have moved to China as they need to build new relationships while living in a different country.

8.What can we know about the Spittoon Collective?

A.It was closed in 2019.

B.It was set up in 2013 in Beijing.

C.It’s popular with literature lovers.

D.It’s a community just for foreigners.

9.Why did Byrne start the Spittoon Collective in Baochao Hutong?

A.To attract students’ love of poetry.

B.To expand China’s literature globally.

C.To make Beijing’s hutongs famous.

D.To combine poetry with the hutongs.

10.What effect would the Spittoon Collective have on Chinese culture?

A.Beneficial. B.Negative.

C.Challenging. D.Controversial.

11.What is the author’s attitude to the Spittoon Collective?

A.Unclear. B.Intolerant.

C.Doubtful. D.Favorable.

4.C　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Understand that people who have not grown up in the same country or context as you can sometimes translate some of your behavior in the wrong way.”可知,别人可能会误解你。根据第二段第三句中的“To avoid this”和“find out more about what type of person you are”可知,为了避免这种情况的发生,作者建议要了解你是什么样的人,即从了解自己的文化开始,所以C项正确。

5.B　细节理解题。由第三段第五句“To get to know each other better,plan to spend some time doing what each of you likes to do in your spare time.”可知,可以计划在空闲时间做一些彼此都喜欢的事以增进了解,所以B项正确。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍的是英国诗人马修·伯恩在北京成立的名为Spittoon Collective的读书组织。

8.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“While some of Beijing’s literary institutions would go on to close in the fall of 2019,Spittoon would continue to grow as a community for poets and writers,as well as musicians and others in the creative scene.”可知,尽管北京的一些文学机构将在2019年秋季关闭,但Spittoon将继续发展,成为一个诗人、作家、音乐家和其他创作领域的社区。由此可知,Spittoon Collective很受文学爱好者的欢迎,故选C项。

10.A　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The readings would mainly be in English...which featured works in Chinese,French,Arabic,Russian,Spanish and other languages.”可知,读书会主要用英语进行,但在国际社会的帮助下,一个名为“翻译中的诗歌”的新栏目开始了,其中有中文、法语、阿拉伯语、俄语、西班牙语和其他语言的作品。由此可知,Spittoon Collective对中国文化是有好处的,故选A项。

11.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Joining organized activities like Spittoon ...to build new relationships while living in a different country.”可知,参加像Spittoon这样有组织的活动对那些陷入无聊生活的人来说是一个很大的帮助。对于移居中国的人来说,这尤其重要,因为他们需要在不同的国家建立新的关系。由此可知,作者对于Spittoon Collective的态度是赞许的,即favorable,故选D项。
