When he went out , he began to read his book . He hadnt gone far _25_ he run into a big cow and fell down. In the fall, he had lost his glasses, without which he couldnt see anything.

As soon as he had _28_ , he realized his mistake.Soon he was fixing his mind on his book _29_ and paid no attention to anything else.

This is particularly true _21_ women, and even more so if the inquirer is a man.However, it is very _22_ to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind _23_ either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to _24_ their age, especially if they feel they look young for their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a（n） _25_question like “How old are you？”. If elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily bring up the topic themselves, and ask the other person to _26_ how old they are. For such a question, it is quite acceptable to discuss age freely . They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than _27_ that they look very old！Although Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not _28_ that they are interested to know how old other people are. They may ask someone else _29_ the information, or else they may try to approach the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational background and the number of years of working experience may provide some _30_ ,but this is not always the case.21. A. on B. for C. in D. of22.

In some states only one house in five has people living in it who have been there for more than five years. One may be born in one city, and go to school in another. He may finish his middle school education in two or three cities and attend a college far across the country. And when he has entered business, he may possibly move from job to job. Moving from job to job, or job- hopping, is a very common practice in the United States.This practice is not good by and large. Yet every chance to change a job offers the worker an opportunity to move up to a higher position and to get better wages. And job-hopping also gives employersthe bosses, the managers thechance to benefit from the new ideas and skills that different people bring to their firms or factories. Then, most Americans love traveling. People often drive their automobiles 120 to 160 kilometers just to have dinner with a friend or even fly to Europe and back just for watching a football match. It is because of thisthe fact that Americans are in constant motion and, in this way, it is also easy for you to become friends with Americans. And the friendship can be close and strong for a while, but then disappears as soon as the individuals move away from each other. But if these people should meet again, even years later, they would be delighted to continue the friendship. So dont be unhappy when you fail to find lifetime friendships or relationships in the United States. “Job-hopping” means _.A. moving from place to place B. looking for workC. hoping to get a job D. moving from job to jobWhy do Americans change their jobs so frequently?
