| Last night, I was waiting for a taxi. After 5 minutes, I was 1 . The driver seemed to be angry. I asked him what the 2 was. He said he had just come from the airport without a 3 , which was basically $70 in lost fare. Over the course of the ride, the anger 4 died down. He mentioned he had read an article saying the 5 people are the ones that give, so he hoped he'd have more 6 to give in his life. I was starting to 7 being with him! We continued talking about why 8 is so beneficial both to the giver and the receiver and different ways to 9 it. As we arrived at my destination, I 10 my fare. But I pulled out an extra $20 and said, "Since we've been talking about this whole time, I wanted to share that 11 with you. I've already paid my fare, but here's an extra little bit. You can 12 it, since you're already down $70 from the airport. But if you want to experience the 13 of the gift, then tell the next passenger in this taxi that their ride is a gift from another and they can 14 their gratitude (感激) in whatever way." The man turned toward me, tears in his eyes, and said, "Sir, I have a better 15 . You give that $20 to a 16 person around here and I'll treat the next passenger with a 17 ride myself. Wow. This man was 18 10 minutes ago. I got out and walked around trying to 19 someone who needed help before heading to my destination. It was an honor meeting that driver and 20 the lesson of how everyone is capable of giving. | ||||

| As a foreigner, I often hear the Chinese calling me "laowai". If I could not speak Chinese or if I had no understanding of Asian customs, I might be angry when I am called a "laowai". But having lived in the Philippines and China's Taiwan Province teaching English for several years, I have come to China with a different view from most other foreign teachers here. In such situations, I just answer back in standard Chinese:"Ni zenmo zhidao wo shi waiguoren? (How do you know I'm a foreigner? )" When I hear people shout out "hello" in a more impolite way and then laugh, I reply in Chinese with "Ni de yingyu bi wo de hao. (Your English is better than mine.)" Speaking Chinese is a way of living an easier life in China. As an English teacher at Hubei University in Wuhan, I was once invited by a student to spend the weekend with his family. Because I can speak Chinese quite freely, I was able to talk with my student's entire family. From my personal experience, I knew that the Chinese have a "gift" for making foreigners in China feel right at home. That fun-filled weekend I spent with my student's family in Caidian, a small suburb of Wuhan, just showed that my idea was right. It was an experience I will never forget. Americans have a saying: If you can't beat them, then join them.The secret to feeling at home with the Chinese people isn't to try to make them change over to Western ways. The secret is to become one of them. Just go with the flow, or don't take things too seriously. In this way you will surely feel at home in China. If you no longer emphasize (强调) our differences from the Chinese, you will be more willing to concentrate on what "big noses" and "small noses" have in common. |

| While all my classmates seem to be crazy about a one-way ticket to Mars (火星), I'd rather say Mars is totally unsuitable for human existence. People won't have enough food supplies there, and the terrible environment would make it impossible for them to live a long life. Besides, the journey won't be safe. Can anybody explain to me just why people would go to Mars, never to return? Steve Minear, UK Here are the things you can think of: the desire to explore a foreign and unique environment, the excitement of being the first humans to open up a new world, the expectation of fame and glory…For scientists there is another reason. Their observations and research will probably lead to great scientific achievements. Donal Trollop, Canada There are already too many people on the Earth. I think that sometime before the end of the century, there will be a human colony (殖民地) on Mars. It will happen when people finally realize that two-way trips to the red planet Mars are unnecessary. Most of the danger of space Flight is in the launches (发射) and landings. Cutting the trip home would therefore reduce the danger of accidents, save a lot of money, and open the way to building an everlasting human settlement on another world. Enough supplies can be sent on ahead. And every two years more supplies and more people will be needed, and Mars is far more pleasant than the other planets in the outer space. Paul Davies. USA |
| 1. The main purpose of Steve Minear's writing is _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. to report his classmates' discussion B. to invite an answer to his question C. to explain the natural state of Mars D. to show his agreement on going to Mars |
| 2. Which of the following best states Donal Trollop's idea? |
|
[ ] |
| A. There is a plan to send humans to Mars. B. There are many reasons for going to Mars. C. Scientists become famous by doing research on Mars. D. It is possible to build an Earth-like environment on Mars. |
| 3. Paul Davies points out that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. humans need only a one-way ticket to Mars B. two-way trips to Mars will be made safe soon C. it is easy to reduce the danger and cost of flights to Mars D. it is cheap to build an everlasting human settlement on Mars |
| 4. What does Paul Davies think of human existence on Mars? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Humans will have to bring all they need from the Earth. B. Humans will find Mars totally unsuitable for living. C. Humans can produce everything they need. D. Humans can live longer in the colony on Mars. |

| Like many other high school seniors, I eagerly anticipate life after graduation. In less than three months, my belongings will be packed up and shipped to the other side of the country. I had never imagined, in my wildest dreams, that I would attend college in Ithaca, New York. I had had my heart set on a university in California and of majoring in English. Nearly all of my friends are staying in state, and I remember thinking to myself, when one friend said she would be going to college in Virginia: Why would someone ever choose to move away from California? But by a twist of fate, I received a letter from Ithaca College, inviting me to apply for a program in communications. On a while, I decided to apply. What were the chances that I would be selected as a finalist? If I hadn't applied, I would have always regretted not trying. Yet secretly, I hoped that I wouldn't be chosen. But, as things turned out, I was offered one of the scholarships. I also received admission letters from the other colleges I had applied to, all of which were California schools. As I began to weigh my options, I wrote out a pro/con (利弊) list for each of my schools. I began to realize that my reasons for wanting to go to certain schools in California were based on considerations of comfort. It would be so reassuring to be close to my family and my home. Then I began to think about the expensive tuitions (学费) and class shortages in the California public school system. These issues were not likely to greatly improve in the next four years. Slowly, I came to the conclusion that Ithaca was the ideal choice for me-culturally, academically and financially. Fear of the unknown should not be a reason for shying away from opportunities. It might be difficult to adapt to my new situation, but I am confident I have made the right decision |
