         If American customs seem strange, remember that Americans feel the same way when they visit
    another country, people living in different cultures do many daily things differently from one another.
    What a dull(not interesting or boring) the world would be if this were not true!
         Some differences are small, and one soon becomes used to them. For example, many people find
    it strange that Americans move from place to place so often. Born in one city, they may attend school
    in a second, enter business in a third, and perhaps move several times during their lives. Today, most
    Americans fully expect and accept the fact that they will move frequently.
         However, houses are of great interest to Americans. They spend a lot of time thinking, reading and
    talking about their homes and how to improve them. They also enjoy looking at other people's houses,
    since they would enjoy visiting and examining a house in another country, they may suppose that you
    will probably have the same desire(strong wish) when you visit the United States. So do not be
    surprised when you visit an American family and are shown every room in the house besides the
    bathroom and kitchen.
    1. The first paragraph suggests that ___.    
    A. customs are different from country to country
    B. Americans feel uneasy when they visit another country
    C. only American customs prove to be strange
    D. customs are different in different times
    2. According to the passage, the world would be terribly dull if___.  
    A. the people all over the world spoke the same language
    B. most of the world people did daily things differently from one another
    C. people livin I in different countries did a lot of thing I in the same way
    D. people living in various regions in the world did a few daily things in the same way
    3.Most Americans think it normal that___.  
    A. they do many daily things differently from one another
    B. customs are different from country to country
    C. the world is not dull
    D. they will move frequently
    4. Which of the following statement is NOT true?  
    A. It takes Americans much time to think, read and talk about their houses and how to perfect them
    B.You are showing all the rooms in the houses except the bathroom when you visit an American family
    C. Americans perhaps move several times during their lives
    D. Americans enjoy visiting others' houses

         There was a story many years ago of a school teacher-Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the
    first day that she loved them all the same,. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy
    named Teddy Stoddard. He didn't play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She
    did not like him.
         Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death  of his
    mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students,
    Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother's perfume (香水).
         Teddy said,"Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to." After the children  left she
    cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she
    began to teach children.
         Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy's mind seemed to come alive. The more
    she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the
    smartest children in the class.
         Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third
    in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went  to college. Mrs.
    Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D.(医学
    博士).
         The story doesn't end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson's ear,
    "Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important  and showed me that I
    could make a difference."
         Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, "Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the
    one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn't know how to teach until I met you."
    1. What did Mrs. Thompson do on the first day of school?
    A. She changed Teddy's seat to the front row.
    B. She told the class something untrue about herself.
    C. She made Teddy feel ashamed.  
    D. She asked the children to play with Teddy.
    2.What did Mrs. Thompson find out about Teddy?
    A. He needed motherly care.          
    B. He enjoyed playing with others.
    C. He often told lies.              
    D. He was good at math.
    3. In what way did Mrs. Thompson change?
    A. She no longer liked her job as a teacher.    
    B. She cared more about educating students.
    C. She taught fewer school subjects.        
    D. She became stricter with her students.
    4. Why did Teddy thank Mrs. Thompson at his wedding?
    A. She had sent him Christmas presents.        
    B. She had taught him how to judge people.
    C. She had kept in touch with him.    
    D. She had given him encouragement.

                                                                Heroes of Our Time
         A good heart
         Dikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa among great poverty and disease. He came to Georgetown
    University on a scholarship (奖学金) to study medicine - but Coach (教练) John Thompson got a look
    at Dikembe and had a different idea. Dikembe became a star in the NBA, and a citizen of the United
    States. But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. He built a
    new hospital in his old hometown in the Congo. A friend has said of this good-hearted man: "Mutombo
    believes that God has given him this chance to do great things."
         Success and kindness
         After her daughter was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for ways to share her love of music and art
    with her child. So she borrowed some equipment, and began filming children's videos (录象) in her own
    house. The Baby Einstein Company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20
    million in sales. And she is using her success to help others - producing child safety videos with John
    Walsh of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Julie says of her new program: "I
    believe it's the most important thing that I have ever done. I believe that children have the right to live in a
    world that is safe."
          Bravery and courage
         A few weeks ago, Wesley Autrey was waiting at a Harlem subway station with his two little girls
    when he saw a man fall into the path of a train. With seconds to act, Wesley jumped onto the tracks,
    pulled the man into the space between the rails (铁轨), and held him as the train passed right above their
    heads. He insists he's not a hero. He says: "We have got to show each other some love."
    1. What was Mutombo praised for?
    A. His work in the church.
    B. His willingness to help the needy.
    C. Being a star in the NBA.

         I love charity (慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of
    them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to
    electric goods,all at very good prices. You can get things you won't find in the shops anymore. The thing
    I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of
    profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted
    goods.
         The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity's appeal to aid postwar
    Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations (捐赠物). They decided do set up a
    shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity
    shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find
    children's books, all 10 or 20 pence each.
         Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who
    gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see
    bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don't encourage this, rather ask people
    to bring things in when the shop is open.
         The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than £100 million a year, funding (帮助) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children,
    homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get
    something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and
    tread lightly on the environment.
    1.The first charity shop in the UK was set up to        .
    A. raise money for patients
    B. help a foreign country
    C. sell cheap products
    D. deal with unwanted things
    2. Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops?
    A. 90% of the donations are second-hand.
    B. They are open twenty-four hours a day.
    C. The operating costs are very low.
    D. The staff are usually well paid.
    3. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
    A. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.
    B. The Public's Concem about Charity Shops.
    C. What to Buy at Charity Shops.
    D. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.

         A good relationship (关系) with a teacher may help you learn better. But what should you do if you
    find it difficult to get along well with your teachers? Here are some tips.
         If you're having problems with a teacher, try to find out why.     1      Or do you like the subject but
    just dislike the teacher?
         If you don't like the subject, it can affect (影响) your relationship with the teacher. You should try to
    find the practical value in classes you don't like. You may hate math.    2    
         If you find a subject hard, talk to your teacher to be given more help.      3  
         It may help you raise your grade gradually.
             4   Show an interest in the subject, which may change your attitude towards your teacher. You
    can also talk to your teacher when he or she is free. Use this time to get extra help, ask questions, or talk
    about your progress in class. You may be surprised to learn that your teacher is a bit more relaxed and
    friendly than when lecturing in front of the whole class.
         If you don't agree with your teacher, do not quarrel with him or her.   5   Just as teachers need to
    be fair and treat everyone equally, students have responsibilities too. You don't have to like your teacher
    or agree with what he or she says, but it is necessary to be polite.
    A. What if you just don't like the teacher?
    B. Any teacher will give you some useful advice.
    C. Do you dislike the subject?
    D. What is your opinion about it?
    E. But learning it well can help you in everything from sports to leaving a tip(小费).
    F. And it's impossible to like everyone all the time.
    G. Common respect is a basic requirement of any relationship
