One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didnt want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I dont respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I dont show my feelings through words. By Jack1 .

As we got there，we saw a big sign that said, “Petting Zoo”. The kids jumped up and asked, “Daddy, can we go?” Both my wife and I were out of work. However, I said, “Sure, giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket. A petting zoo is made up of a hundred of little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure(围场)pleased with the little animals while their parents shop. A few minutes later, I saw Suzan walking along behind me, I was surprised and asked what was wrong. She said sadly, “Well, Daddy, a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter.” Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto(座右铭), which is “Love is Action!” I knew clearly no one loves little animals more than Suzan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say Love is Action!” for years, and now she had put it into her lifestyle. It had become part of her, because she knew the whole family motto. Its not only “Love is Action”; its “Love is SACRIFICAL(牺牲的)Action! Love always pays a price. I was moved. We went back to the Petting Zoo.

To have a friend，you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules：be honest；be generous；be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth，people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you havent been honest，you may lose the friends trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them，you help your friend know you better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and helping with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be the first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friends place so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends，you must practice honesty，generosity and understanding.1Some friendships dont last very long because _.Athere are too many people who want to make friendsBsome people receive friendship but dont give friendship backCthose who give others friendship receive friendship from othersDthey dont know friendship is something serious2According to the passage，honesty is_.Asomething countable Bthe base of friendshipCas important as money Dmore important than anything else3Which of the following isnt mentioned in the passage?AAlways tell your friends the truth.BSharing your mind with your friends is of great value.CDiscussing your problems with your friends often helps to solve the problem.DA friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.4The best title of this passage is _.AHonesty Is the Best Policy BA Friend in Need Is a Friend IndeedCHow to Be Friends DThree Important Points in Life5Whats the meaning of “count on” in this passage?A数，点(数) B认为，看作 C重视 D期待4Linda Evans was my best friendlike the sister I never had.

They did not give the dog up. They found him a very nice home before they moved. They would have let Sam accompany them, but they were afraid the dogs presence would make it difficult for them to rent a house when they reached their destination. The Green family lived in Colorado for less than a year. Before that, they had lived in the same neighborhood in California to which they returned. So Sam had been there before, but only for a short time when he was young. Several months after the Greens left Colorado, after they were comfortably settled back in California, they heard a scratch at the door. They couldnt imagine who might be there. It never occurred to them that it might be Sam, because they were sure he was happily set up with his new family back in Colorado. When they opened the door, the Greens saw a dirty, tired dog with very hurting feet. The animal looked a little bit like Sam, but no one could believe that Sam could have walked 840 miles on his own.

Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they dont have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again.
