sun was setting. catherine was on the beach, looking up at the bright ball. she was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. she could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.the atmosphere(氛围) relaxed her. after all she had been through, this was what she needed. its getting late, she thought, i must go home. my parents will be wondering where i am.she wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. she kept on walking. the road was deserted. she walked slowly and silently. just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house.it was really getting dark now. the sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold too. she wished she had her favorite sweater on: it kept her really warm. she imagined having it with her. this thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. it seemed different. nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. she was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now. it all seemed deserted. she couldnt understand what was going on.she entered the house. first, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. it said: dear ellen, there is some coffee ready. i went looking. ellen was her mother butwhere was she? on the right side of the hallway was her parents room. she went in. then she saw her. her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. her face looked so tired, as if she hadnt slept for days. she was really pale. catherine would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. so catherine just fell asleep beside her. when catherine woke up, something was differentshe wasnt in her mothers room and she wasnt wearing the

scared.59. three days later catherine came back home_ . a. at sunrise b. at midnight c. at sunset d. at midday60. what does the underlined phrase this thought (in para.2) most probably mean? a. the

outside, catherine felt home was the safest for her. dthe trip to the united stated opened my eyes to the fact that there are a lot of similarities as well as differences between american youth and french youth. the first difference is in appearance. going around in the u.s., i found that american youth do not really care about their appearance. in the morning, they choose something in their closet and wear it with another thing, often of different colors and styles, without wondering whether their choices make them look strange. the reason behind this is that they dont care what people look like, but are just interested in their ideas. i think its great, but it also causes problems. since they dont care about their appearance, they dont really care about their weight. often they get fat without realizing it.there are differences in relationships too. when the american youth fall in love, they dont really think of the future. also, there are differences in the rules concerning behavior that is allowed. in some respects, the french are more accepting. for example, in america it is generally unacceptable to make physical display of love. lovers, in theory, cant kiss or hold each other everywhere they want. people think that not showing love in public places is a way to respect others. on the contrary, the french youth can do almost everything they want.with regard to other types of relationships, there are also big differences. americans act differently from french people in front of unknown people. when an american girl, for example, arrives in front of people she has never met before, she will talk with them, trying to create a kind of bond between her and this new circle of people. the french girls will just think about rather than really do this kind of thing because they are too shy and lacking in self-confidence.to finish, i noticed that in american classes, when pupils want to say or ask something, they just do it. in general, they dont really care how the others will judge them. in france, its not the same case. if somebody wants to ask something, he/she will think about it before speaking up. i appreciate the freedom in americans behavior, ideas, and ways of expressing themselves.63. from the passage we can see that american young people _.a. care more about their weight b. are just interested in peoples clothes c. show more interest in peoples ideas d. are more concerned about appearance64. when american
