8.Passage ThreeThe small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high price and the changing social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan, "DINKS", which means Double Income No Kids.In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $ 300,000 (though prices have fallen). For a fiat with one bedroom, one dining-room, a kitchen,and a bathroom, the couple will pay about $ 900 a month. What's more, if they want to have a child, the child's education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at a child, the child's education is very expensive~ For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $ 5,000 a year. In such a situation, it's difficult to afford children.The number of married women who want to continue working increases rapidly because they enjoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their job for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to gave up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both parents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed,women who want to continue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs.In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possibleTo buy a flat and send a child to kindergarten, how much will a couple pay each year?

13.Passage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay” accommodation when they study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit．Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time．But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say．There are three ways of doing it：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher；select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example．Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements．Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have．Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center．Even if you stay further out，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money， it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family．This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible． But if you plan to learn English，why not have your English classes in your host family． There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________ .

14.Passage Four　　Ideas about polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies, such as America and Australia,for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move house quite often. As a m result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only ma short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it's normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard aspersonal.　　On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example,will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.　　To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it's no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts ofquestions that you don't want to answer.　　Cross-cultural differences aren't just a problem for travelers, but also for people in daily life. Some societies have " universalist'' cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. "Particularist" ( 强调特性的)societies also have rules, but they are less important than the society's unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.Which of the following is true about the rules in "particularist" societies?
