This is an exciting moment, where the torch and torch relay route will be presented to the world.

Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary (周年纪念) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.
But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac's body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug (拥抱), Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.
The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn't stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys (调查) show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France's close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain's close links with the US.
Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of "doubtful friendship", they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here's one: What's the best thing about Britain's relationship with France? The English Channel.
161.For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is().
A.friendly
B.impolite
C.brotherly
D.a mixture of love and hate
162.The war in Iraq does() to the relationship between France and Britain.
A.good
B.harm
C.neither good nor harm
D.both good and harm
163.The British are not so friendly to() and the French are not so friendly to().
A.Germany; America
B.America; Germany
C.Germany; Germany
D.America; America
164.()are more interested in having holidays in().
A.American people … Britain
B.British people … Germany
C.French people … Britain
D.British people … France
165.What does the last sentence mean?()
A.As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain.
B.The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain.
C.France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them.
D.The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain.

Passage Two
A particular area in which assumptions and values differ between cultures is that of friendship. Friendships among Americans tend to be shorter and less intense than these among people from many other cultures. At least many observers from abroad have this impression.Because Americans are taught to be self-reliant,because they live in a very mobile society,and for many other reasons as well,they tend to avoid deep involvement with other people. Furthermore,Americans tend to“compartmentalize”their friendships,having their“friends at work”,“friends at school”,a“tennis friend”,and so on. Americans often seem very friendly even when you first meet them. This friendliness does not usually mean that the American is looking for a deeper relationship.
The result of these attitudes and behaviors is sometimes viewed by foreigners as an“inability to be friends”. Other times it is seen as a normal way to retain personal happiness in a mobile,ever-changing society.
People normally have in their minds stereotypes about people who are different from themselves. Stereotypes are based on limited and incomplete experience and information,but they shape people’s thoughts and expectations. Americans have many stereotypes about foreign students in general(for example,that they are very hard working intelligent,and rich that they do speak English well)and about particular categories of foreign students(Chinese are polite and good at mathematics,for example,or Italians are emotional). And foreign students have their own stereotypes of Americans,for example,that they are arrogant,rude,and generous.
There are two stereotypes that often affect male-female relationships involving U.S. and foreign students. The first is the idea,held by some foreign males,that American females are invariably willing,if not anxious to have sex. The second common stereotype,held by some American females,is that male foreign students have no interest in American females other than having with them. The existence of these and other stereotypes can give rise to considerable misunderstanding and can block the development of a mutually satisfactory relationship between particular individuals. Stereotypes seem unavoidable given the way the human mind seeks to categorize and classify information,so it is not realistic to suppose people can“forget their stereotypes”. But they can be aware of their stereotypes,and be ready to find exceptions to them.
36. Consuming friendship,Americans .
A. look for a deeper relationship in a close circle
B. avoid deep relationship with other people
C. are friendly at first but do not remain so later on
D. do not make good friends
