So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish. Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the countrys second most important export. Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.

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 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 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. 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. The writer of this passage must be _.A. an American B. a ChineseC. a professor 2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.B. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.C. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.3. 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. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably at his home 4. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean _. A. willing to spend time B. serious with timeC. careful with time 5. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”. A. Americans and Chineses views of friendshipsB. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans hospitality Task 2: Read the passage and fill in the blanks with no more than 3 words from 6 to 10. 阅读下文，完成文后方框中的填空，每空不超过3个单词。In the summer heat, its easy to develop the embarrassing problem of body odor if youre not careful. Bacteria live all over our skin, and their waste is what causes body odor.Follow these simple tips to keep the bacteria away:1. Use antibacterial body soap.Antibacterial soaps kill the odor-causing bacteria on the body. If you havent been using one, chances of the bacteria levels on your body are quite high, so get their numbers under control by bathing with your new soap twice a day for two weeks. After levels are back to normal, once a day is enough to keep them in check.2. Change clothes and bath towels frequently.Any worn clothing or used bath towel will produce bacteria. Change your clothes daily, especially socks and underwear, unless you want yesterdays bacteria joining forces with todays. Also, keep in mind that cotton clothes are better at hiding body odor, as they absorb smelly sweat rather than letting it evaporate into the air.3. Eat light.Greasy, spicy and salty food add toxins to the body. Therefore, change to healthier, lighter diet. Also, regular steam baths or saunas can help to sweat the toxins out. Just be sure to shower afterward.The 6 of Bacteria causes body odor.You can get the bacteria under control by bathing with your soaps 7 for two weeks.Any worn or used clothing or 8 will produce bacteria. 9 absorb smelly sweat easily and therefore are better at hiding boy odor.Try to eat light and avoid greasy, 10 and salty foods because they add toxins to the body.Task 3: You are required to find the English items equivalent to those given in Chinese in the box below, numbered 11 through 15. 为方框中的中
