Friendships between Americans can be close and real, 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 whilethen 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 dont 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 routine (常规). 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!21.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.B. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their family.C. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives. D. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.22.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be _. A. warmly welcomed at the airport B. treated hospitably at his home C. offered a ride to his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant23.From the underlined sentence, we can know the Chinese people_. A. are strict with time B. are willing to spend time for friends C. dont know how to use time D. dont take time seriously 24.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”. A. Friendships between Chinese B. Americans and Chineses views of friendship C. Americans hospitality D. Friendships between Americans BHave you thought about the idea of using positive energy to overcome health problems, stress and maybe even disease? Dealing with stress and illness can have a negative impact on more than just your physical self, burning to a deep emotional space. Entire families and circles of friends feel worried about someone when they are dealing with a tough situation. But what if positive thinking could have the power to turn things around？ Going way back, when I was working with my husband to start our business, times were tough. Not only had we poured every part of our savings into building our dream, but we were working around the clock to make it happen. Our friends and family were our business partners. We were all tired and stressed but determined. Especially during that time, we did not surround ourselves with anyone who wasnt positive and encouraging in our effort. Think great thoughts and embrace the idea that you are sure to succeed. In business and in our personal lives, we are challenged at some point with unexpected hurdles. Wrapping yourself in positive energy by surrounding yourself with good people, good habits and love can be the perfect way to use optimism to overcome a challenge.Just recently, I was curious if a positive attitude has been proved to help patients who are suffering from illness or disease to overcome and heal. What I found delighted me. “Positive thinking helps with stress management and can even improve your health.” By accepting an optimistic approach attitude, your ability to deal with challenges may increase. I have certainly heard many stories about people who have used a great attitude to overcome life-changing obstacles, and I am a total believer. I have seen the power of positive energy work for me when I believe, I can handle anything that life sends my way.25. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Stopping Worrying about Others B. Getting Prepared for Obstacles C. Taking Charge of Your Attitude D. Dealing with the Tough Situations26. What led the author and her husbands success? A. They got financial support from friends and family. B. They kept a positive and determined attitude. C. They used all their savings to realize their dream. D. They were full of courage and strength.27. The underlined word “hurdles” in Paragraph 3 means “_”. A. Opportunities B. Disease C. Obstacles D. Assistance28. The author has discovered recently that _. A. Positive people can face any difficulty. B. She has more power of positive energy C. Stress management meas good healthD. The positive attitude benefits the patients C On October 24, 1929 “Black Thursday”a wave of panic selling of stocks（股票）swept the New York Stock Exchange. The Great Depression began. By 1932, thousands of banks and businesses had failed. Industrial production was cut in half, farm income had fallen by more than half, wages had decreased 60 percent, new investment was down 90 percent and one out of every four workers was unemployed.The Republican president, Herbert Hoover was unable to take measures to deal with the economic collapse. So in the 1932 election, he was defeated by Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, who promised “a New Deal for the American people”.Within the “Hundred Days”, Roosevelt rushed through Congress a number of laws to aid the recovery of the economy. The Civilian Conservation Corps put young men to work in reforestation and flood.The Federal Emergency Relief Administration aided state and local relief funds. The Agricultural Adjustment Administration paid farmers to reduce production, thus raising crop prices. The Tennessee Valley Authority built a network of dams in the Tennessee River area to generate electricity and control floods. The National Recovery Administration regulated fair competition among businesses and minimum wages for workers.The Work Progress Administration (WPA) was one of the most effective of the New Deal measures. Financed by taxes collected by the federal government, the WPA created millions of jobs by undertaking the construction of roads, bridges, airports and other public buildings. It kept workers in the job, thus preserving their skills and their self-respect.The New Deal programs did not end the Depression. But the economy improved as a result of this program of government intervention (介入).29. According to the passage, “Black Thursday” refers to the day when _.
