America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flow more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.

Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.

Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time.

Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.

B. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.

C. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.

D. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.

2.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.

A. offered a ride to his home

B. treated hospitably at his home

C. treated to dinner in a restaurant

D. warmly welcomed at the airport

3.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.

A. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships.

B. Friendships between Americans.

C. Friendships between Chinese.

D. Americans’ hospitality .

After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?

That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What’s worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.

However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part-time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.

In my room, Mom’s voice raced with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people’s challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.

True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child.

1.Why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital?

A. They all wanted to have a good rest.

B. The author didn’t do well in the exam.

C. What the doctor said made them worried.

D. They focused on the scenery along the road.

2.How did the author manage to get high marks?

A. By being confident.

B. By reading as many books as possible.

C. By getting help from his classmates.

D. By listening carefully.

3.We can learn from the text that ____________.

A. the author’s sight recovered finally

B. reading made the author more sensitive

C. the author’s mother didn’t work to look after him

D. reading made the author not worry about his sight

4.Which of the following could be the best title of the text?

Dogs and cats are not for students who live in the dormitory. Just think about the noise, the smell and all that wild behavior—chewing on whatever they can get their teeth on, or knocking over the trash can. But don’t feel sad. There are smaller and less destructive pets to make your dormitory life colorful.

Betta fish

They make great pets with their big personality and astonishing colors, ranging from bright red, dark blue to lemon yellow. Unlike many fish, most bettas react to their owner’s presence and become more active when they are nearby, which is unusual in the fish world.

Chinchillas

Without bad smell, about the size of a rabbit and with fur so dense that they can’t get pests such as fleas(跳蚤), the friendly creature originally from the Andes Mountains in South America makes an ideal indoor pet. Chinchillas are very social animals, so if you only have one, you will become its family. In cold winter days, in a glance at this fury pet in a dorm will bring you a lot of warmth.

Land hermit crabs

In a society where owners are often asked “Are they tasty?”, land hermit crabs are among the most unlucky animals commonly kept as pets. But they are easy to care for, inexpensive and fascinating to watch. And the fact that they don’t cause any allergic reactions makes them perfect for college dormitories.

Red-eared sliders

If you’re interested in a lifelong friend, a red-eared slider makes a wonderful pet. If well cared for, they can live for around 40 years. But there are a couple of things you should know. Red-eared can grow to an adult size of up to 30cm! So you may need a larger tank quickly. In addition, you will need to provide UV lighting, water heater, and a swimming area and a basking (晒太阳) area. Housing a red eared slider is not easy.

1.All the dormitory pets mentioned in the text are _____.

A. active and allergic B. quiet and peaceful

C. colorful and tasty D. small and smelly

2.Which of the following is not true about these creatures?

A. Bettas are active and rich in colors.

B. Chinchillas are originally mountain animals.

C. Land hermit crabs are allergic but tasty.

D. Red-eared sliders need more care from the owner.

3.If you want to keep the pet as long as possible, you’d better choose _____.

A. Betta fish B. Chinchillas

C. Land hermit crabs D. Red-eared sliders

4.The text is mainly to _____.

A. introduce the best way to keep pets

B. offer useful tips for choosing pets

C. inform students of lifestyle of pets

D. recommend some dormitory pets

You may never think a documentary film could have aroused so much public enthusiasm in Chinese history. Nowadays everybody is talking about a new 7-part documentary called A Bite of China which was recently broadcast late at night on CCTV I. The documentary describes various gourmet items across the vast Chinese culinary landscape.

According to Taobao, China’s biggest online retail website, just five days after the series began to air, nearly 6 million people went to the site in search of various local specialties, particularly those mentioned in the documentary. More than 7.2 million deals were concluded. A ham producer from Yunnan Province saw his sales grow 17-fold in five days.

However, one can’t help but believe that the documentary’s popularity is probably linked to the endless stream of terrible food security issues that have emerged in recent years. In one well-received article, a netizen wrote, “I wonder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film. Blue-vitriol watered chive, formaldehyde sprayed cabbage, Sudan Red colored salty eggs, restaurants using gutter oil. The list is long…”

How will a varied and ancient food culture that is famous worldwide and which should have made the Chinese proud end? Food is the most vital thing in people’s lives. Yet China’s food industry has made people a little worried due to some severe food safety crisis. The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for immoral businessmen; and the punishment is too light. Take the milk industry as an example. Although Sanlu, the company that sold the melamine-adulterated milk powder, was punished, thousands of other dairies didn’t work hard to improve the quality. Therefore, food safety problems should be an important concern of Chinese government so that our ancient food culture can be preserved.

As the documentary shows, people are attracted not to gourmet items like matsutake, a species of rare mushroom grown naturally in remote forests, but to common Chinese dishes like barley, lotus root or tofu. They are what meet our basic needs. This explains why people are so excited about A Bite of China---it is a reminder that there is still a world out there where food is excellent and safe.

1.The underlined word “gourmet items” probably means_______.

A. delicious food B. latest technology

C. beautiful clothes D. great inventions

2.The second paragraph mainly talks about_______.

A. the content of the documentary

B. the producer of the documentary

C. the popularity of the documentary

D. the history of Chinese gourmet

3.We can infer from what a netizen wrote in one well –received article that _______.

A. the price of food is too high for many common people

B. the documentary was made by a world-famous Chinese director

C. there is a huge contrast between the ancient food culture and the reality

D. none of the television viewers have a knowledge of the Chinese food culture

4.According to the passage, China’s food industry has a problem of faking and cheating because_______.

A. there are still so many poor people at the present time

B. the punishment for unscrupulous businessmen isn’t serious enough

C. the Chinese government encourages it to do so

D. the food technology is not so advanced as in developing countries
