• 2．An unpleasant smell floated into my nose as the bowl of fried stinky tofu （臭豆腐） settled on to my grandmother's dinner table.I immediately sat back.The smell ruined my appetite，and I pushed the dish away.
     "It's supposed to stink.Just give it a try!" my grandmother said.
     Holding my breath，I unwillingly took a bite.To my surprise，the tofu beneath the fried skin was warm，soft，and mouth-watering.Since then，whenever I visited my grandmother's house，I would rush to the kitchen for the stinky tofu with excitement.Thus，stinky tofu became more than a household tradjye.aiion.It became my favorite dish.
     Along with the stinky tofu，I would meet my Uncle Chan on every visit.As an immature boy，I never understood my uncle's condition of Down syndrome （唐氏综合征）.
     He was an unfriendly and terrible creature in my eyes.He constantly walked around the house，talking to himself.Whenever he appeared，I would run away in fear.
     However，one day，my view about my uncle suddenly changed.I was just getting out of my bed when I heard soft steps approaching.It was my uncle.My muscles froze.He slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently，as am other would stroke （抚摸） a baby.A wide smile emerged from his blank expression.How beautiful his smile was!I could not help but smile back.My fear disappeared gradually，and my muscles relaxed.For the first time，I could see softness and warmth in his eyes.
     My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu.Stinky tofu smells unpleasant on the outside，yet feels warm and soft in the inside.Like stinky tofu，my uncle's Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first.Yet，I learned that deep inside，he is harmless and has a loving nature.
     Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a regular life.As I was unable to see through the outer surface of the tofu，these people are unable to see through the surface of prejudice （偏见）.As a result，they judge the disabled with one glance.
     The outside and inside of the stinky tofu exist as two extremely different worlds.Perhaps that is what makes it such a tasty dish.Not only is it delicious，stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson：never judge people at first glance，for true beauty comes from the inside.
  
  （1）Why did stinky tofu become the author's favorite dish？

  
  A．It was related to family tradition.
  B．His appetite for food had increased.
  C．Grandma encouraged him to try it.
  D．It turned out to be quite delicious.

  B．He was a strange creature.

  （3）The comparison between stinky tofu and the author's uncle serves to

  .
  A．describe a childhood memory
  B．analyze the family relationship

• 3．Whether for special holiday，as a way of showing gratitude or just a way of letting someone know you care，gift giving is a universal custom.Though the purpose may be similar from place to place，traditions vary widely from one country to the next.A behavior that shows respect in one place might be considered offensive somewhere else.Take a look at unique gifting traditions from around the world.
     Here in the US，a set of kitchen knives seems like the perfect gift idea for a wedding.However，in certain European countries like Germany，people believe that a knife presented as a gift will cut off your friendship.There is a way to break it：Tie a coin to the knife or giftbox.The receiver then returns the coin to you as a payment to remove the bad luck.
     There's a well-known Italian wedding tradition where the groom's（新郎）tie is cut into a number of tiny pieces.Wedding guests can then "buy" these tie pieces in exchange for cash.It's a fun way to give money to the new couple that leaves guests with a wedding Souvenir.
     As left hands are considered unclean in Indian culture，behaviors such as touching，passing money，or giving gifts are to be done with the right hand.Different from other cultures，an odd number（奇数）of things or currency represents good luck.For example， £11 should be given rather than £10.
     In Zimbabwe，it is common to directly ask for a gift.When you receive a gift without asking for it，even if the giver's family is poor，it's the worst way to reject the offering.Also，expressing thanks with actions is better than giving thanks orally （口头地）.These may include jumping up and down，dancing，or whistling.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "offensive" in paragraph 1 refer to？

  
  A．Rude.
  B．Creative.
  C．Suitable.
  D．Caring.
  （2）How do people prevent friendship breaking down when giving gifts like knives？

  
  A．The guests cut the groom's tie into pieces.
  B．The receiver returns the coin to the giver.

  D．The receiver expresses thanks by dancing.
  （3）What can we learn about the gift giving in Zimbabwe？

  
  A．It is not proper to ask for a gift directly.
  B．It's better to reject a gift from a poor family.
  C．One can express thanks by writing letters.
  D．Showing gratitude with actions is better than words.
