         Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives, and not too long ago, I had one that I would like
    to share.
         This story began with a sailing trip. It's a story of pizza (比萨), sailing and being afraid of buying
    ice-cream with a US $20 bill.
         I was going to Marblehead, Massachusetts, with my Optimist (a sailboat) racing team for the New
    England Optimist Championship.
         The team was racing down the highway at 85mph (miles per hour) when we all realized we were hungry.
         Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I was very excited, because I had a new US $20 bill. I was so excited
    because I had never had that kind of money before. I had money I had saved, but spending it on food seemed
    like throwing it away.
         We all rushed into the pizza line. Finally I got a cheese pizza and drink, and walked to my table.
         About halfway through the meal, I realized I had not actually handed my money to the cashier (收银员). I
    had just walked out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
         My conscience (良知) opened its mouth and swallowed me. I couldn't get over it. I just couldn't go back
    to the cashier and pay for my stolen, half-eaten pizza. I would be more embarrassed than I ever had been.
          I was so sorry that I refused to give myself the pleasure of an ice-cream in fear that someone would say,
    "Hey, Jeff, why don't you use the change from the pizza instead of that nice, new US $20 bill?" I was not so
    proud of my money now.
         For the next two years, whenever I was reminded of (thought of) the "Pizza incident," I closed my eyes
    and said to myself, "Don't think about it. Don't think about it." I have learned two things from this experience.
    Maybe I was an unwise person for giving in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a free pizza.
    But I think the real lesson is that if you let being embarrassed get in the way of doing the right thing, then your
    conscience will catch up with you.
         I think this reflects the saying, "A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one." I was a coward
    and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a "hero" and gone back up to
    pay for the pizza, then I would have felt a little embarrassed about it only once, or maybe twice.
    1. Why didn't the boy buy ice-cream?
    A. He wanted to save the money.
    B. He didn't want to eat ice-cream then.
    C. He didn't have enough money for it.
    D. He was afraid that someone would find out the fact.
    2._________ pay for the pizza with his money at first.
    A. In order to keep the bill, he didn't
    B. He completely forgot to
    C. His teammates told him not to
    D. The cashier didn't ask him to
    3. The underlined word "embarrassed" in the passage means _________.
    A. happy and comfortable
    B. disturbed and silly
    C. uneasy and uncomfortable
    D. sad and angry
    4. Why did the writer think of the saying "A coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one"?
    A. He used to be a coward then but is not now.
    B. He had a long terrible time for his stolen pizza.
    C. He would have been a hero if he had paid for the pizza.
    D. He wanted to die once like a hero.

    Making sense of how the US shows humor
    Living in a new country gives me many surprises. The first surprise was the way that the US people speak
    One day I saw someone was having a public speech in a square. I thought it would be a serious speech. But I soon found it became a kind of entertainment show.
    The speaker told the audience to protect the environment with humorous words. Later he said some people’s behavior didn’t go with their words. He took the example of Taylor Swift’s song We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.[
    He said that since Swift doesn’t want to be with the boy any more, she doesn’t need to speak it aloud, she doesn’t need to sing unless she still keeps in touch with that guy. It sounds like she is a hypocrite.
    Then he sang the song in a funny way. The audience laughed out loudly. I felt a little angry because Swift is my favourite star. I couldn’t understand why they laughed at Swift.
    As time goes on, I find many US people make fun of others. But they don’t mean to hurt them. They do that to show closeness and humour. And people who are laughed at seldom get angry. Now I understand the speaker at the square. Now I’ve got used to the way the US people speak.
    It’s easy to find culture shock when you’re in a new place. But everyone should learn to understand different cultures and customs. 
    【小题1】The man in the square was _______________.

    A．teaching people how to give a speech
    B．calling on people to protect the environment
    C．giving a singing show in public
    D．criticizing the US government
    【小题2】What does the underlined word “hypocrite” in Paragraph 4 mean?
    A．会唱歌的人B．真诚的人C．虚伪的人D．爱护环境的人
    【小题3】From Paragraph 6, we learn that_________________.
    A．many US people like to laugh at others
    B．many US people are friendly and humorous
    C．the US people get angry at others easily
    D．the writer doesn’t like the way the US people speak
    【小题4】Which is Not suitable for the passage?
    A．The writer went to America and protect the environment.
    B．Americans show humour in a different way from China.
    C．It’s easy to find culture shock when you are in a new place.
    D．Tailor Swift is an American famous singer.
    【小题5】What does the article mainly talk about?
    A．Differences between the Chinese and the US people.
    B．In what way the US people speak in public.
    C．How to get used to life in the US.
    D．A Chinese girl’s culture shock experience in the US.
