This passage is from a play. Words in italics are descriptions of the room and of things people are doing. Words in CAPITALS are names of characters. Everything else is something they say.
The back wall is covered with books. The rest of the room is bare : no tables, desks, or sofas, only two wooden chairs, and a large cast -iron stove.
A man in his fifties sits in one of the chairs. He is writing on a pile of papers that rests on his knees. A young man enters. He wears a large coat, which he does not take off.
DANIEL: Do you ever stop?
The PROFESSOR continues writing. DANIEL pulls a chair to the stove and sits.
DANIEL: You used to hate mornings.
PROFESSOR: It's too cold to sleep. I was going mad in bed ,so I had to get up. I don't seem to feel as cold when I’m sitting.
DANIEL: That's because your work distracts (分散注重力) you from the temperature--for the moment.
PROFESSOR: I think it's the position, too. Lying down one has less resistance to the cold--well, that's my impression in any case.
DANIEL: So what are you working on?
PROFESSOR: You'll laugh. I'm writing a--what shall I call it? A paper? Expose? Thoughts? --on the last chapter of The Observatory Ball(天文台).
DANIEL: The book by Blatek?
PROFESSOR: There's one by somebody else?
DANIEL: In all the years I've known you, I've only heard you say bad things about Blatek.
PROFESSOR: True, but how long have you lived with me?
DANIEL: Two months.

Did you ever think someone was scary (恐怖的)because they looked different or ate strange food? Well, they might think the same about you! One of the things we all need to do is to celebrate variety. We shouldn’t think badly of people from other cultures because they behave differently from us.
Sometimes we treat people from other countries unfairly, because one person from that culture did something bad. Well, has your class ever been punished just because a few kids were causing trouble? Has your whole family ever been blamed for something your little sister did? It doesn’t seem fair, does it? It’s just equally unfair to blame a whole culture for what two or three people have done.
So here are some things that you can do to help yourself understand other cultures:
① Find common ground!
Just remember that even though some people look different on the outside, that doesn’t change how they are on the inside. They still have the exact same feelings!
②________________
Because someone from another culture has been mean to you, you decide to avoid everyone from that culture. Well think about it. Why are you blaming them for something they didn’t have anything to do with? Put yourself in their shoes. How would you feel? Putting yourself inside someone else’s head can be a very powerful way to understand WHY they are acting the way they are.
③Try to make friends with people from other cultures!
You could ask them about their culture, or what it is like in their country, if they can remember, or if they have ever lived there. Try foods from their culture, or ask them about words in their language. You might be surprised at how interesting other cultures can be! You can join great discussion groups, participate in projects, and have lots of fun doing new things.
④Be aware that you’ve judged other people
If you know what you have done, it helps to make things better. Pay attention to what you think about other people. It helps.
53. What is mainly discussed in this passage?
A. Why there are differences between people B. What to do to understand other cultures
C. How people feel when they meet people from other cultures
D. The differences between people from different cultures
54. Which of the following can be put into the blank behind ②?
A. Avoid everyone from that culture! B. Put all responsibilities on others!
C. Consider oneself first! D. Don’t blame all because of one!
55. The underlined word “celebrate” most probably means “_______”.
A. feel proud of B. express ideas of C. praise and enjoy D. pay attention to
56. The following can be the better way to treat foreigners except_______.
A. join their discussion groups B. try foods from their culture
