题目列表(包括答案和解析)

Letter A

Dear Rose,

I like your programmes very much. I’m now writing to ask you something about American social customs (社交习惯). My American friends want me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy and have decided to go, but I’m a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, so I’m afraid of making mistakes.

Should I bring a present, such as sweets or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork (叉子) or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?

                        Wang Lin

Letter B

Dear Wang Lin,

It’s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) if you know that your friends drink it.

You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you’re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.

Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don’t know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you.

If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a thank-you card the day after.

  Passage E

Sending E-cards on the Internet

  The Internet has changed our habits, including our habit of sending greeting cards. There are many e-card websites that make it so easy to find the right greeting cards. They have greatly changed the way we send greetings to each other.

  Our lives have become so busy that we have limited personal time . These e-card websites have allowed everyone to easily share their feelings and emotions(感情) with the people they love. They contain (包括)plenty of greeting cards that can be used immediately. The users can choose any card they like, from festival greetings to birthday wishes. In fact, e-cards are perfect for any event. That's why more and more people like to send e-cards. If the users are interested in making their own greeting cards on the Internet, they can create a card within only a few minutes.

  Another benefit(好处) of e-card websites is that they have made it possible for us to send top quality cards to our beloved(心爱的) ones and surprise them with cheerful greetings. They allow us to send our greetings on a specific(特定的) date. So we can plan for the occasion(场合) when we want to send the card. For example, we can send our e-card on a certain day and then visit the person with some flowers the next day. This will surely create a good impression(印象) on the person we love.

  We have never forgotten the importance of saying sorry to our beloved ones. But sometimes we fail to do so because, we are not brave enough to face those we hurt. Some e-cards on these websites allow us to express our feelings in a more thoughtful way.

  Although some people still would rather buy traditional cards in the shops for the persons they love, especially when they want the cards to last a long time, more and more people are choosing to send greetings on the Internet.
