         After twenty years of shaving himself every morning, a man in a small Southern town thought he had
    enough. He told his wife that he wanted to let the barber shave him every day. He put on his hat and coat
    and went to the barber shop.
        The barber's wife Grace was working that day, so she performed the task. Grace shaved him and said,
    "That will be $20." The man was surprised, but he paid the bill and went to work.
        The next morning, the man looked in the mirror and his face was as smooth as it had been when he left
    the barber shop the day before. "Not bad," he thought. "At least I don't need to get a shave every day."
        The next morning, the man's face was still smooth! Two weeks later, the man was still unable to find
    any trace of whiskers on his face. It was more than he could take and he was frightened, so he returned
    to the barber shop.
         "I thought $20 was too high for a shave, but now I think $20 is too little," he told the barber's wife.
    "You must have done a good job. It's been two weeks and my whiskers still haven't started growing back."

    always shaved."

    Luggage

    the bus.
    Seat Arrangements (安排)
         Special needs for particular seats can be made on most bus breaks when booking, but since arrangements

    you will be offered the best seats we have on the bus at that time.
    Travel Documents 
         When you have paid your deposit (订金), we will send you all the necessary documents, so that you

    Special Diets
         If you need a special diet, you must tell us at the time of booking and provide us with a copy of the diet.
    This will be passed on to the hotel or hotels on your bus break. However, on certain bus breaks, the hotels
    used are tourist class and they may not be able to prepare special diets. Any extra costs must be paid to the

         Is learning a foreign language ever easy? Yes. If you are five and move to another country, you will
    quickly pick up the language. But what about for the rest of us who are no longer five, and need to be
    polite when traveling for business or for pleasure? I think that answer is also yes. Language learning can
    be easy if you don't want or need to learn too much. 
        The key to successful language learning in my mind is not to set the goal too high. It is rather like
    running. Even if you run twice a week, you don't necessarily want to be able to run a marathon. You
    might just want to maintain a level of fitness. I think the same can be true for language learning.
         Let's get back to the goal. If you decide to learn ten words in a foreign language before visiting the
    country, you know that you will manage to do this. However, if you decide to attain conversational
    fluency, unless you are an exceptionally talented individual, you will probably fail and give up in disgust.
         It is also far easier to start learning a foreign language than to finish. In other words, the better you
    are, the slower it can be to improve, because you will get stuck with grammar, making sentences,
    learning less common words, etc. If you are only trying to learn a few foreign words and phrases, you
    will enjoy faster progress, have more fun, and won't have to spend too much time. 
        The idea of learning only a few hundred words in a language, and then stopping, isn't the usual
    approach to language learning, but it can be a very rewarding and entertaining activity.
    1. In the writer's opinion, it is easy for adults to learn English if _____.
    [     ]
    A. they are especially talented individuals
    B. they don't want or need to learn too much
    C. they have to spend a lot of time on it
    D. they have a chance to go abroad
    2. The writer intends to express that learning only a few hundred words in a language, and then
        stopping, _____.
    [     ]
    A. is the usual method of learning a language
    B. is of no use for learning a language
    C. may cause a lot of mistakes while traveling
    D. can be rewarding and entertaining
    3. The writer believes that if you want to be good at a foreign language, you will probably _____.
    [     ]
    A. forget your own goals
    B. become a gifted language learner
    C. get tired of learning it
    D. reach your learning goal in advance
    4. The best title of this passage would be _____.
    [     ]
    A. Easy Language Learning
    B. Hard Language Learning
    C. Fluency in a Foreign Language
    D. A Method of Language Learning

         A mother, surnamed Wang, wondered why her daughter's junior middle school had not held a parents'
    meeting over the course of two terms, so she phoned the school. The teacher told her the school had been
    meeting with parents every month.
         Faced with her mother's discovery, the daughter, Ping Ping, a 13-year-old Grade-One middle school
    student, admitted (承认) that she had hired the aunt of a classmate to play the role of her mother. She paid
    the woman 50 yuan per meeting.
         Wang was very angry and slapped her daughter in the face.
         However, the girl appeared not to feel guilty (内疚) and stood her ground.
         "It is not my fault. Your bad behavior and dress style made me lose face," she said.
         Ping Ping complained that as far back as primary school, her mother had attended the parents' meeting
    in the same black and white suit and acted as what the daughter described.
         When teachers invited parents to say a few words at the meeting, Wang often spoke with a very strong
    local dialect (方言) while the other parents spoke fluent Mandarin and made brief speeches.
         Fearing that her mother would become a laughing stock (笑柄), Ping Ping decided to prevent her from
    coming to parents' meeting.
         She hired her classmate's aunt to attend the parents' meeting in her mother's place.
         Mrs. Zhang, a psychologist, said it was common for young people to feel that other people's parents
    were more attractive and educated than their own. The incident helps make people realize misunderstanding
    can occur between parents and young children when they do not talk to one another. 
         "Teachers should help students understand the hardships parents face and organize more group activities
    for parents and children," Zhang said. 
        "Parents also need to communicate with their children regularly and try to behave themselves to become
    role models.
