限时规范练 28(必修 5 Unit 14B ) 核心素养关键词 :培养学生人与社会、了解文化差异的能力意识 限时规范练第 56 页 一、阅读理解 A There are big cultural differences between the US and the UK,despite having many similarities.People talk differently,and not just in the accent or the words,but the general meaning. Americans are very friendly.They will talk to strangers in a store,laugh with someone at a bar,and help their neighbours as necessary.Many expats (移居海外者 ) have reported difficulty in making really close friends like they had in the UK.The friendliness is only on the surface. Many Americans are very family-centered.Family life includes endless school musicals,after-class sports,birthday parties and the like.Many new expats report exhaustion trying to keep up with all the things to do with the kids when they come to the US. Most Americans have never been abroad.The United States is a huge country.Go and look at a map of the US to get an idea.Many Americans feel they simply haven ’ t seen enough of their own 1 country to consider travelling abroad to see another country.In addition,many people just don ’ t get enough holiday time to make it worthwhile travelling abroad,with holiday or “vacation ”time often being as low as 7-10 days a year,and sometimes that includes sick days. Most Americans are proud of Scottish or Irish or German or Italian ancestry,even if it has been centuries since anyone in their family lived abroad.Many Americans like to remember this not because they like the old country but because they like to show that their family came from immigrants ( 移民 ) who dreamed of a better life in America.By pointing out that fact,many feel they are meeting their ancestors’ wishes and dreams. Making friends can be daunting.While for some in their 20s,they can reach out to those who are also just starting out and form some lifelong friendships;for some who are older,in their 30s and 40s,with kids and a family,meeting others can be difficult. 【篇章导读】本文是说明文。文章通过移居美国的英国人的 视角展示了英美文化之间的差别。 1.What do expats think of A
