Many children act in TV shows. They work several hours every day, so they can not go to regular school. How do they get an education?

In Hollywood many TV shows are made. About forty teachers give lessons to the children in the shows. They teach wherever their pupils are working. The teachers’ job is very important. They are responsible(负责) for making sure that the children work only the permitted(允许) hours each week. They are also responsible for making sure that children learn the required subjects. They make sure, too, that the children get enough rest and play, along with their education.

Child actors are required to attend classes twenty hours each week. California law says they must be taught from September to June. If they do not make much progress in school, they are not permitted to continue working in TV shows. TV children are usually good pupils, and most of their teachers like this special kind of work. Their classes are held in some wonderful places. Sometimes the “classroom” is a Mississippi riverboat, sometimes it is the inside of a spaceship. Often the pupils become famous TV or movie stars.

What shaking the head means is not always the same in different countries. Maybe some visitors would be surprised when they first come to India. When they talk to an Indian, they would find he would often shake his head. The visitors might think that the Indian doesn’t like what they say. But in fact, they would be completely wrong.

Indians always shake their heads when they talk to others. It doesn’t mean “No”. If someone wants to visit India, he should know this, or he will be in trouble.

One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired a car and asked an Indian to drive him. When he told his driver to take him to his office, the Indian shook his head at once. The officer said again and the driver shook his head again. At last the officer, of course, got angry.

“How dare you refuse my order?” he shouted, “Drive me to my office at once!”

The driver answered in quite a loud voice, too. “Yes, sir!” But to the officer’s surprise, the driver shook his head at the same time.

The car started and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word. He thought about it for a while, and then he nodded with a smile, “‘No’ means ‘Yes’ here!”

(   )41.What does shaking one’s head mean all over the world?

A.Yes. B.No. C.Glad.  D.Yes or No.

(   )42.What should you do in India if you agree with somebody?

A.Shake your head. B.Nod your head.

C.Speak in a loud voice. D.Say it again and again.

(   )43.Why did the officer go to India?

A.He went there to visit his friend B.He went there to buy a car.

C.He went there to learn driving. D.He went there because of his job.

(   )44.Why did the officer get angry?

A.Because the driver didn’t understand him.

B.Because the driver still shook his head after he said again.

C.Because the driver didn’t like the officer.

D.Because the driver didn’t answer in a loud voice.

(   )45.What can we learn from the story?

A.When you are in India, you should always shake your head.

B.You shouldn’t shake your head if you’re a driver.

C.Shaking head will make others get angry.

D.Different countries have different customs.

(C)

Every country has its own customs. Customs are the ways people use to do something. For example, it is the custom in America to shake hands when you meet someone. In some countries, people may kiss when they meet someone. We also have different food customs from other countries.

A girl from the Philippine (菲律宾的) Islands thought we had a lot of cold food—cold milk, cold juice and cold fruit. A girl from Uruguay (乌拉圭) thought it was strange that we ate so early in the evening. In Uruguay they usually have supper at about ten o’clock in the evening . A girl from Sweden was surprised that we could buy so many different kinds of food in restaurants.

There are a lot of kinds of folk music in China, because China has 56 nationalities and every group has its own style of music. There is a lot of poetry(诗意) in Chinese folk songs, including ideas, feelings and images. But in pop songs, there is no poetry. Each Chinese folk song has its own personality, for example,“Jasmine(茉莉花)”, “Dancing of Youth(青春舞曲)”  or  “My youth has gone away like a bird and never comes back.”

Folk songs are from the people. Folk songs are like a way of serving the people, although folk songs express the feelings of the people. Chinese folk songs express the feelings, the emotions(感受) and the hopes of people about being in love or how hard it is.

“The more national, the more international.”In order to spread Chinese folk music, a forum(论坛) of folk songs called“Nanning International Festival of Folk Songs Art”is held every year. Chinese and overseas art groups and artists often perform at the opening ceremony, such as Chinese minority singers—Han Hong, Teng Ge’er and A’Lilangs. The more widely it spreads, the more attention the music attracts.
