(1)Before I came to Italy, I had different ideas about Italian culture. People seem to be very friendly. However, after staying here for a year, I find t hat’s not always the case. Men and women will get quite different traveling experiences in Italy.If you are a woman traveler, don’t be surprised if you get a lot of attention. When you walk alone in the street, you may meet a guy who will help you with your luggage (行李) and sometimes even offer you a ride. However, there is a small chance this thing happens to men.And if another man is around women, things are even worse. One day, two female friends and I took a taxi in Rome. When these two young ladies got into the taxi, the driver was very happy. He didn’t even notice I opened the side door in the front. But when he finally saw me, the driver was silent. He didn’t even turn on the taximeter (计程表) and wanted to overcharge me.It seems like Italian men feel they must make women, whatever their age or how they look, feel confident. Some men love to fight for a woman’s attention.One reason could be that most Italians live in small communities. And mothers are the head of the home. For an Italian man, his mother is the No 1 woman in his world. The environment is likely another reason for Italian men’s passion (热情) and romance (浪漫). There is sunshine everywhere. Couples walk down quiet streets on nights. No wonder romance comes to life here.64. From the first two paragraphs, we learn that _____.A. women are treated well by men in Italy.B.

And it was the cheapest in the shop. “I’d like a kilogram of this kind of fruit, please.” he said to the shop keeper. After the keeper gave him the fruit, he began to eat. “Oh, my God!” he shouted. His eyes watered; his mouth watered; his eyes and head was burning; and his face became red. As he coughed, he jumped up and down.But he still kept eating the fruit! Some people looked at him and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies (辣椒)! You can’t eat so many; they’re not good for you! People use them as a condiment, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can’t just eat them like that. They’re not fruit!” But the man said, “No, I can’t stop! I pay money for them. It’s my money!”Sometimes we do a lot of things like that. We still continue just be cause we’ve put money, time, effort and love into it even though we suffer from it.56.From the first paragraph, we can infer (推断) that the man ________.A. knew India very wellB. liked traveling with his friendsC. didn’t know much about India befo reD. wanted to make friends with some of the Indians57.
