         Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But many years ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, people
    never tried skating on wheels. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was
    making instruments. In his free time he liked to play the violin. Merlin was a man with many ideas and
    many dreams. People called him a dreamer.
        One day Merlin received an invitation to go to an important party. He was very pleased and a little
    excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think. He wanted to find a way to make a
    wonderful entrance at the party. Merlin had an idea. He thought that he would attract a lot of attention if
    he could skate into the room.
        Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each
    shoe. These were the first roller skate shoes. Merlin was very proud of them. He dreamed of arriving at
    the party and skating into the room while playing the violin. He was sure that everyone would be very
    surprised.
        On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing his violin. Everyone was really surprised
    to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skating. He rolled on,
    playing the violin. Then, with all eyes on him, Merlin hit into a huge mirror on the wall. The mirror broke
    into many pieces with a very loud noise.

         Different people use different languages. We Chinese speak Chinese, and, most of us are learning a
    foreign language. But there is another kind of language we need to know - the language of the body.
        All over the world, people "talk with their hand, with their heads and with their eyes." When Japanese
    people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and
    British do? Americans are more informal than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names,
    they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their
    chairs and make themselves comfortable. British people are more reserved(保守的). They take more
    time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask your name.
         When British or American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not
    usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men
    kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man, he just smiles, and says, "Hello."
    Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.

         If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers
    are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits . Most teenagers love food with
    a lot of fat, oil, salt, and sugar. People often call this kind of food "junk food".
          But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don't have
    breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don't have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent
    survey at one school, scientists found that over two-thirds of the students didn't follow a healthy diet. They didn't like vegetables, and many of  them didn't like to eat fruits. They would rather eat food with a lot of
    salt, sugar, or fat.
         Parents today also worry about their children's diet. Some doctors give the following advice:
         Teenagers shouldn't eat too much junk food.
         Teenagers shouldn't eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure in the future.
         Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil, and sugar.
         Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins
    and have little fat.
         Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones grow.
         Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day. This is good for their body and mind.

    1. "Junk food" contains a lot of ____________.

    A. milk an sugar                            
    B. fruits and sugar
    C. vegetables and salt                        
    D. fat, oil, salt and sugar

    2. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found many students liked _________.

    A. vegetables    
    B. unhealthy food    
    C. fruits      
    D. healthy food

    3. In this passage, doctors think that teenagers should eat more _____________.

    A. food with no vitamins    
    B. fat and sugar  
    C. vegetables and fruits    
    D. salt and oil

    4. The passage talks mainly about ______________.

                                   Dog Translation Products Coming to U. S.
         A Japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a gadget that translates dog barks into
    human language and plans to begin selling the gadget--under the name of Bowlingual--in U. S. pet stores
    and gift shops this summer.
          Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300, 000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold
    since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is forecasting far bigger sales once an English language
    translation for dogs comes to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs,
    more than six times the number in Japan.
         "We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we don't think they will mind spending
    $ 120 on this product, " the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products
    conference in Atlanta.
         Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by Time magazine, Bowlingual is made up of a
    3-inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console (控制台) that is connected to a database (数据库). The console divides each bark into six emotional
    types--happiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desire--and shows common phrases, such
    as "You're ticking me off," that fit the dog's emotional state.
         Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation(合作)with famous
    sound experts and animal behaviorists.
          One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely
    remain a dog's world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. "They are too
    unpredictable (反复无常) , " the marketing manager said.

    1. This passage mainly tells us that Bowlingual ___________.

    A. was invented in Japan      
    B. has developed quickly
    C. will be sold in America   
    D. sells well for its price

    2. The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to ___________.

    A. markets     
    B. products   
    C. plans
    D. cats

    3.  When was this passage most probably published?

    A. In the winter of 2002.     
    B. In the spring of 2003.
    C. In the summer of 2002.   
    D. In the autumn of 2003.

    4. From the passage, we can see that Takara Co. Ltd. is ___________ the sale of its new product.

    A. proud of
    B. satisfied with    
    C. confident of
    D. worried about

         America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close andreal, yet disappear
    soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a
    year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while - then no more. If the same two people meet again by
    chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to
    understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings,
    extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families. 
         Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life.
    They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
         Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly
    in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness  to us if it requires a great deal of time.
    This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time.
    Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may
    take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome
    usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily
    activities. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And
    they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full,
    warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
         For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to
    restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

    1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

    A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
    B. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
    C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
    D. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.

    2. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American
        friend, we will probably be ______.

    A. treated hospitably at his home      
    B. offered a ride to his home
    C. warmly welcomed at the airport
    D. treated to dinner in a restaurant

    3. The underlined words "generous with our time" in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.

    A. strict with time                  
    B. serious with time
    C. willing to spend time            
    D. careful with time

    4. A suitable title for this passage would probably be "______".

    A. Friendships between Chinese    
    B. Friendships between Americans
    C. Americans' hospitality        
    D. Americans' and Chinese's opinions of friendships
