ut to have less of an influence on crime and delinquency rates than did the soft skills, which are associated with emotional(情緒的) intelligence. Soft skills might include teaching kids to work cooperatively in a group or teaching them how to think about the longterm consequences when they make a decision.

Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day. I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries(記錄片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood. In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe. American culture is a part of Spanish life now. It39。s certain that many things from America are as much a part of people39。s lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I39。ve known about Coca Cola for my whole life. However, it39。s different with Western fast food. For example, I don39。t think McDonald39。s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people, The Spanish people normally eat at home. On the other hand, maybe McDonald39。s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It39。s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald39。s, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, it39。s obvious that American culture is being more and more a part of our lives every day. (1)From the first paragraph we can know that . A.the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhere.B.most Spanish people don39。t like to listen to their own music,C.fast food spreads from Spain to the United States.D.some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills.(2)What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain? A.American novels.B.Hollywood movies.C.McDonald.D.American music.(3)Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain? A.To protect foreign culture in Spain.B.To earn more money from Spanish films.C.To limit the number of foreign movie.D.To unite European Communities.(4)What do you think Spanish tapas might be? A.The name of a drink.
