         Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at school. When I made my first visit to the
    United States, I was sure I could have a nice and easy holiday without any language problem. But how
    wrong I was!
         At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to tell my friend Danny that I had arrived.
    An American asked if he could help me. "Yes," I said, "I want to give my friend a ring."
         "Well, that's nice. Are you getting married?" he asked. "No," I replied, "I just want to tell him I have
    arrived." "Oh," he said, "there is a phone downstairs on the first floor." "But we're on the first floor now,"
    I said.
         "Well, I don't know what you are talking about Maybe you aren't feeling too well after your journey,"
    he said."Just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better." And he went off, leaving me wondering where
    on earth I was: At home we wash up after a meal to get the cups and plates clean. How can I wash up at an
    airport?
         At last we did meet. Danny explained the misunderstanding: Americans say "to give someone a call", but
    we English say "to give somebody a ring". When we say "to wash your hands", they say "to wash up". And
    Englishmen start numbering from the ground floor so the first floor is the second for Americans.
    1. The writer went to America by ______.
    A. plane

    C. bus
    D. train
    2. The writer went to America for ______.

    A. after dinner
    B. after a journey
    C. when they are tired

         Children are children after all, and most of them speak their mind. When they are just toddlers (幼儿),
    they are all lovely and lively. And it's so interesting to watch them speak like a grown-up. But as they grow,
    these same kids seem annoying and ill-mannered if they try to be a grown-up.
         Conflicts (矛盾) go between parents and children. It's hard to tell who are right and who are wrong. A
    child of 7-8 always finds some reasons to have a conflict with it's parents. Whether it is about some toy,
    studies, a party or a company, there is always a difference between them. And it becomes worse when they
    answer you back. Scientists tell us that children should be treated with care. Yes, sure they should respect
    their elders.
         We are partly responsible (有责任的) for this. At an early age we encourage children to behave like adults,
    just because we find it funny. The kids on the other hand consider this same behavior as normal and get used
    to it. And when it is not funny for us any more, we expect them to stop it, but by then it is already too late.
    Only when they reach a certain maturity will the children realize that answering back and being rude are not
    acceptable (可接受的). Until then, most of the time their behavior is difficult to change, unless by force
    (暴力). And use of force is against the every good idea, as it weakens the child's confidence.
          So it is one thing to bring a child into this world but quite another to make them into well mannered
    citizens. The best way is to be a good example ourselves, as our children are the mirrors of us adults.
    1. _______ are all lovely and lively.
    A. Children
    B. Toddlers
    C. Kids
    D. Grown-ups
    2. There are many conflicts between _______.
    A. fathers and mothers
    B. parents and children
    C. parents and toddlers
    D. parents and parents
    3. The underlined word "maturity" means _______.
    A. 学期
    B. 阶梯
    C. 知识
    D. 成熟
    4. Which is acceptable according to the passage?
    A. Answering back.
    B. Being rude.
    C. Using force.
    D. Respecting elders.
    5. Which of the following is true?
    A. Children often copy what their parents do.
    B. Children can not change their behavior.
    C. Children's behavior develops in their own way.
    D. Children's behavior is not acceptable.
    6. The writer wrote the passage _______.
    A. to show the importance of good examples
    B. to give examples on educating children
    C. to show the growth of children
    D. to show the behavior of children
