the standard phrases for greeting people; but as an american, i always found myself 1 to speak freely when it came to seeing guests off at the door. just a good-bye would not do, yet that was all i had ever learned from the 2 books. so i would smile and nod, bowing like a japanese and searching madly for words that would 3 over the visitors leaving and make them feel they would be 4 to come again. in my unease, i often hid behind the skirts of my chinese husbands kindness.then finally, listening to others, i began to pick up the phrases that 5 relationships and sent people off not only successfully but also skillfully. 6 for the chinese includes a lot of necessary habitual practice. although as a 7 ,im not expected to observe or even know all the rules, ive had to learn the expressions of politeness and 8 at a leaving-taking.the chinese feel they 9 see a guest off to the farthest possible point-down the flight of stairs to the street below or perhaps all the way to the 10 bus stop. ive sometimes waited half an hour or more for my husband to return from seeing a guest off, 11 hes gone to the bus stop and waited for the 12 bus to arrive.thats very well, but when im the guest being seen off, my protests are always 13 .my hostess or host, or both, insists on 14 me down the stairs and well on my way, with my repeating the “dont 15 to see me off at the every landing”.if i try to go fast to 16 them from following, they are simply out to the discomfort of having to run after me. better to accept the inevitable (不可避免的).besides, thats going against chinese 17 ,because haste (doing things quickly) is to be avoided. what do you say when you 18 someone？not “farewell or godspeed (祝福)”, 19 “go slowly”.to the chinese it means “take care” or“watch your 20 ”,or some such caution(谨慎),but translated literally (字面意思) it means “go slowly.”1. a. easyb. difficult c. unable d. effective2.a.useful b. terrible c. priceless d. proper3.a.smoothb. talk c. calm d.

big surprises. and one of them is the holiday inn hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.the holiday inn is where manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. a lot of them choose to eat in the brightly lit restaurant near the pool. and many of them will be served by ellen logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years .ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. she comes from nebraska, but shes planning one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. but in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the holiday inn.ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. your best friend has a good pair of shoes. she paid forty - five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. shes discovered something else too. you dont have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.“a lot of business people always stay here when they come to manhattan, ” she explains. “they like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. but some couples come for a night out together. they just want to be left alone. then there are people who cant make up their minds. they look down the menu and saywhat do you suggest?so i ask them how hungry they are. if they say, not very, i suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread, and a fruit plate. but if they say theyre very hungry, i suggest a kansas strip steak, with potatoes or rice. you get salad and bread as well. its very nice. real good value.”ellen may get tired feet sometimes, but at least shes learning too much about people . shell probably make a good animal doctor, but if she find she doesnt like it after all, she can always become a psychiatrist（心理医生）instead.”21a good title for this passage is_ .a. ellen logan at the holiday inn b. american holiday innc. a special holiday inn hotel in manhattan d. how to deal with people22the word“a veterinary surgeon” means_.a. an animal doctor. b. an animal trainerc. a hotel manager d. a food expert23from the passage we can infer that_.a. waitresses in the holiday inn are all studentsb. waitresses are required to buy a good pair of shoes before they go to workc. waitresses should be familiar with the food thered. it is more important for the waitresses to know much about people than food24according to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?a. the holiday inn hotel is one of the big surprises in manhattan.b. businessmen like to be recognized by the people and suggested what to eat.c. the couples like to be left alone.d. one of the reasons why people like to eat in the hotel is that it is full of a friendly atmosphere.bthe medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospital may play an important role in helping patients to get better.as part of a nationwide effort in britain to bring art out of the museums and into public places, some of the countrys best artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. of the 2500 national health service hospitals in britain, almost 100 now have very valuable collections of present art in passages, waiting areas and treatment rooms.these recent movements first started by one artist, peter senior, who set up his studio at a manchester hospital on northeastern england during the early 1970s.he felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.a common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5,000 visitors each week. what a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art! senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the outpatients waiting area of the manchester royal hospital in 1975. believed to be britains first hospital artist, senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.the effect is striking. now in the passages and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colours, playful images(形象) and restful courtyards.the quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. a study has shown that patients who had a view onto garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.25. some best artists have been gathered to _ .apull down older hospitals and build up new onesbmake the corners of the hospital building roundcbring art into hospitalsdhelp patients recover from illness26. from this text, weve learnt that _ .aartists in britain have completely lost their places in modern societybpatients should be encouraged to learn artchospitals in britain should be changed into art museumsdart is encouraged to be introduced into british hospitals27. after the improvement of the hospital environment, _ .apatients no longer need drugs to kill their painsbpatients neednt buy any expensive drugscpatients need fewer pain killers when they are getting better after illnessdpatients can take fewer pills each time28. it can be inferred from this text that _ .athe role of hospital environment is being recognizedbhospital artists have done a lot for patientscexhibitions of art in hospital attract more audience than that in museumsd hospitals in britain look more beautiful than those in other countriescevery country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others, as they are similar to or different from it. and unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted(扭曲) one.here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. it is only by traveling in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. and how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! how often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different at all!differences between peoples do, of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. the world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. with the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as europe is concerned. however this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed (显示)to more people than ever before that the englishman or frenchman or german is not some different kind of animal from themselves.29.every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are _.a. distortedb. normalc similar to each otherd. different from its own 30.one who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will_.a. find out what its people are likeb. argue in favor of this country and the language c. know the country and its people betterd. like its inhabitants and their language31.the knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign country is often_.a. from second-hand informationb. gathered from other sources than (from) its inhabitantsc. gained from the arguments about the country d. different from what one had before the travel32.in this passage, the author wants to say _.a. differences between people will gradually disappear because of easy of travelb. differences between people do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alikec. differences between people will always continue to exist and the world will be a dull placed. differences between people will not exist as one hopesdbagram, afghanistan: a transport helicopter packed with us soldiers crashed near a military base just north of the capital, killing at least five of them and wounding seven others, the us military said yesterday.the cause of sundays crash, about 11 kilometers east of bagram air base, was not immediately known. the us military said it was investigating, and it refused to take journalists from the base to the crash site.but after a long search, reporters found the wreckage in a remote area yesterday afternoon. it was broken into three pieces, some of which had fallen into a mostly dry riverbed. about 15 us soldiers were guarding the site.a statement sent by email from central command, in tampa, florida,on sunday said,“early reports indicate seven service members were killed,” when the us military helicopter went down.at bagram air base yesterday morning, us military spokesman major richard sater said the plane was an mh-53 transport helicopter and confirmed that it was involved in all ongoing military operation, dubbed mountain resolve, taking place in the east of the country. he referred all other questions, including the numbers of casualties and the cause of the crash, to central command officials.bagram air base, just north of the capital, is home to most of the peacekeepers patrol kabul.in another development, three us soldiers were killed on sunday in iraq. gunmen in mosul shot two american soldiers driving through the city center, sending their vehicle crashing into a wall. about a dozen swarming teenagers dragged the men out of the wreckage and beat them with concrete blocks, witnesses said.in recent weeks, attacks against us troops and their iraqi alliessuch as policemen and politicians working for tile interim iraqi administrationhave increased in the region surrounding mosul.in baqouba, just

than 15 miles from each gallon (加仑) of gas. it travels about 10,000 miles each year. in that time, it uses about 650 gallons of gas. in all , automobiles use up some 70 billion gallons of gas a year. that comes out to be four-and-a-half million barrels a day. the importance of saving gas, then, cannot be stressed too much. lets say, the fuel used by each car could be cut back just 15 percent. this could be done by making fewer trips each day. it could be done by keeping the automobiles in good shape. it could be done through better driving habits. if these were done, the nations use of fuel would fall by close to two-thirds of a million barrels per day. everyone can help to save gas. one way is to ride buses. some could walk to work. others could ride their bikes. another way is to share a ride. people could share cars. about one-third of all cars are used for going to and from work. you can go shopping with a friend from time to time. if two people use a car instead of two, they all save. driving stress (紧张) would be less, too, with fewer cars on the road. the savings on gas around the nation would come to more than one-half million barrels a day. still another way to save is by cutting out trips one does not need to take. can you find one car trip per week that could be done by telephone? can you combine trips? if each car travelled 10 miles less each week, they could save three-and-a-half billion gallons of gas a year. this comes to nearly 5 percent of the total passenger cars demand for gas. the way people drive decides how much fuel they save. careful drivers may get 20 percent more miles per gallon than ordinary drivers. they obey the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit. if just one gallon of gas were saved each week for each car in the country, a total of five-and-a-half billion gallons could be saved a year.37. which of the following statements is true about an average car according to the passage?a. an ordinary car run a lot more than 10,000 miles with 650 gallons of gas.b. an ordinary car cannot run more than 15 miles with one gallon of gas.c. an ordinary car with ten gallons of gas can run more than 150 miles.d. an ordinary car can run 10,000 miles each year with 70 billion gallons of fuel.38. the passage mentions all of the following facts except that _ .a. keeping ones car in good shape helps one save gas b. riding buses instead of driving is helpful to gas savingc. sharing a ride or walking to work is another way to save gasd. driving stress can be greatly relieved by using less gas39. according to the passage, it is possible to save five percent of the total passenger cars demand for gas each year, if_.a. people all share car-riding instead of owning their own cars b. all the cars cut off one trip of 10 miles each weekc. two people go shopping in a car from time to timed. people use telephones instead of riding cars40. which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the text?a. drivers should change their driving habits and keep thei
