The hotel workers received him and telephoned the manager, for they had never seen a bicycle in the hotel hall before though they lived in “the kingdom of bicycles”.Robert Friedlander, an American, arrived in Xian on his bicycle trip across Asia which started last December in New Deli, India. When he was 11, he read the book Marco Polo and made up his mind to visit the Silk Road.

After a long trip by train and bus, we got on the ship called the “Privateer”. On our way to see the whales on that beautiful sunny day, I grew more and more excited. After a while we stopped, and everyone on the ship started to shout because wed seen a whale. It was very wonderful! While we were watching the whales, a guide was giving us information about them. She told us that we were seeing only two kinds of whales-50-foot whales (singing whales) and 70-foot whales (the second largest whales on earth). She also said we can easily know what kind of whale we were seeing by its tail, just as people have different fingerprints(指纹). They all have names, as well. On this ship, we saw “Salt” and “Pepper”, two whales named by a scientist and a fisherman. They swam together all the time. Sometimes whales came so close to the ship that we thought we could touch them. I took twenty-seven photos, but it was very hard to do so because they were so quick, and stayed on the surface of the ocean such a short time.

All of them.D Australia is a young and diverse(多种多样的) nation. It lies 1,920 km west of New Zealand, and 2000 km to the north of Antarctica. The Australian people come from many different cultural backgrounds. As you settle in and make friends here, youll find that there is no such a thing as a “typical(典型的)” Australian. Youll come across a wide range of social customs, habits and views of life, some of which may be very new to you. Here we want to present some of the different ways of greeting. First names are used more often in Australia than in many other countries. Australians often greet their friends, and even people they dont know (both male and female), with “Hey mate(同伴)” or “How is it going guys?” An Australian may encourage you to use his given name (eg. “Call me Susan”), to address him informally, or even to use his nickname. A nickname is most commonly used among friends, and is a sign of acceptance and friendship. The formal title or family name is only used in formal or other special situations, such as first meetings, or when speaking to someone like a professor. Titles like Mr., Mrs., Ms or Dr. are then used with the family name. In Australia one looks directly at someone when talking to show interest in what he or she is saying. Australians make direct eye contact regardless of social position, and children are taught to look directly at adults. It is not considered impolite to give someone something with your left hand.68. The passage is mainly about _. A. how to get along with others B. when to talk to people C. how to greet others in Australia D. where to stay in Australia69. If you use a persons nickname in Australia, it probably means that _. A. you are close friends B. you respect him a lot C. you dont like his real name D. you like using nicknames70. From the passage we learn that _. A. Australians are serious about how people address them B. Australians use given names when meeting anyone for the first time C. Australians use formal titles when talking to professors D. Australians show interest in what others say71. According to the passage, when talking to Australians, you should _. A. call their family names B. make direct eye contact C. use their formal titles D. show interest in them E Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York, in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough food to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be a farmer. He took a short business course(商业课程), and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for displaying goods to attract peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (零碎的东西) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1,000 stores in the U.S. and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always ran his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT. 72. Frank took a short business course in order to _. A. earn more money for his family B. learn something from a salesman C. get away from the farm D. get enough to eat.73. Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because _. A. he knew how to get people to buy his goods B. he cut down the price by halfC. he had been told to do so by his boss D. he had the sign well designed74. The price of the knives was cut down by half because _. A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day B. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory C. the knives were made in Germany, where labor was cheap D
