题目列表(包括答案和解析)
In people’s minds．Beijing women are taller, bold，and uninhibited，while Shanghai women are smaller in figure．and always speak in a soft voice．The image(形象)of Beijing women is usually bigger than Shanghai women’s． However, it turns out to be just the other way round after I have worked in Beijing for some time．
Everybody goes Dutch in Shanghai；even at a grand party，but in Beijing it's usually the men’s treat．It is impossible to invite a female friend who already has a boyfriend or a young married woman out, even if you promise to see her home that night．
The conditions of the men in Beijing are no better at a11．All their cells will ring one after another at 12 o’clock sharp at night．The voice on the other end is usually loud enough for anyone nearby to hear．“Where have you been! Do you remember that you’ve got a home? Now who’s with you?”and these three sentences are usually the main parts of the call．
Shanghai women could never understand this．If it’s a Shanghai woman who shouts in the phone，the Shanghai man on the other end must think that she is crazy(or drunk，perhaps)．The Shanghainese go Dutch in life，and they appreciate the independence in both economic and love affairs．
Many of my friend girls in Shanghai are office ladies with very high income．The tiredness of life cannot kill their pride in saying：“I don’t depend on any men．”Thus no men can command them，for example，to force them to come back home before 10 pm．Beijingers do not admire the Shanghai way of life，anyhow．How can a couple be addressed as“a couple”when they don’t know where the other has been last night? They wondered．

3．The conditions of Beijing men are no better because they____________.
A．often stay out late at night B．have women call them at midnight
C．are treated the same as Shanghai men D．enjoy no more freedom than the women
4．Shanghai women could never understand why_____________．
A．Beijing women behave like that B．Beijing men behave like that
C．Shanghai men think so differently D．Shanghai women don’t copy Beijing women

It was my first week in Kansas City, the USA. My friend, Sharon, asked me whether I'd like to try McDonald's for a 1 lunch. So, there we went. It has been quite popular in China, so I could easily pick something that I 2 have in Beijing － a Super burger, a coke and French fries. To my 3 , the burger was much bigger. I thought to myself, after all, most Americans are bigger than Chinese. They must need 4 for lunch.
With my lunch set in front of me, I wanted some tomato sauce to 5 with my French fries, so I went to the 6 and asked him for some tomato sauce.
“What?” he looked surprised. “Tomato sauce?”
I started to feel uncertain. I had studied English back home for six years. He 7 be able to understand me. Maybe, it was not 8 tomato sauce here.
“I'm not sure what you call that thing,” I tried again, “ 9 it's American food, and you put tomato sauce on everything. ”
“Sorry, Miss,” he said, “we don't have tomato sauce here.”
I walked back to Sharon. She smiled and asked me to 10 for a while. A few minutes later, she was back with several. So, they even used the same package. Oh, no, it's 11 right there － “Ketch-up”.
“Why? What's the 12 between this Ketch-up and the tomato sauce?” “I don't know why we call it 13 this name,” said Sharon．“Never think about that.”
Sharon's smile suddenly made me 14 that the difference between Ketch-up and tomato sauce lay not so much in the food itself as in our different 15 .

W：Learning to drive is usually a nervous experience for beginners．What do you think?

W：Yes, I suppose some people are much more nervous than others．
