People talk differently, and not just in the accent or the words, but the general meaning.Americans are very friendly. They will talk to strangers in a store, laugh with someone at a bar, and help their neighbours as necessary. Many expats (移居海外者) have reported difficulty in making really close friends like they had in the UK. The friendliness is only on the surface.Many Americans are very family-centered. Family life includes endless school musicals, after-class sports, birthday parties and the like. Many new expats report exhaustion trying to keep up with all the things to do with the kids when they come to the US.Most Americans have never been abroad. The United States is a huge country. Go and look at a map of the US to get an idea. Many Americans feel they simply havent seen enough of their own country to consider travelling abroad to see another country. In addition, many people just dont get enough holiday time to make it worthwhile (值得的) travelling abroad, with holiday or “vacation” time often being as low as 7-10 days a year, and sometimes that includes sick days.Most Americans are proud of Scottish or Irish or German or Italian ancestry (祖先), even if it has been centuries since anyone in their family lived abroad. Many Americans like to remember this not because they like the old country but because they like to show that their family came from immigrants (移民) who dreamed of a better life in America. By pointing out that fact, many feel they are meeting their ancestors wishes and dreams.Making friends can be daunting. While for some in their 20s, they can reach out to those who are also just starting out and form some lifelong friendships, for some who are older, in their 30s and 40s, with kids and a family, meeting others can be difficult. 19.

Why do most Americans seldom travel abroad?A. They have short holiday time.B. They are short of money for trips.C. They think it worthless to travel abroad.D.

They think their ancestors had made history.D. They think theyre realizing their ancestors dreams.22. What does the underlined word “daunting” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Discouraging. B. Interesting. C. Surprising. D. Exciting.CIs it important for teenagers to own the latest cell-phone models? There are different ways of looking at this question. First, why do teenagers need to have the latest models? Often its just to show off. The problem is that there are many teenagers who own the latest cell-phone models but dont even know how to use them properly. This is true. They just want one because their friends have similar ones, or because they take very good videos and photos. On the other hand, if they do know how to use them, the latest cell phones are really good. They not only help teens to stay in touch with friends and family, but also help them to access the Internet and download pictures, videos or music they need when studying. These new phones are so powerful that having one is almost like having a whole library in your pocket. Its an instant (即刻的) source of information that helps young people get the latest news. But many parents, thinking only of such positive sides, do not take into consideration the potential dangers. For example, children may constantly be distracted(分心) during class by sending and receiving text messages. Each young generation loves the new technologies available just think back to when you were a kid. But your job as a parent is to make sure your child gets the most out of this technology with the least possible harm. 23. According to the second paragraph, teenagers want to have the latest cell-phone models because _.A. they want to show they are fashionableB. they think the latest models help them a lot with StudyC. they think they can keep in touch with others more easily D. they want to learn how to use new technologies24. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author thinks _.A. a new generation always loves new thingsB. parents also liked technological products when they were youngC. parents should make sure children use the new technologies properlyD. parents shouldnt allow children to own a cell Phone25. What is the text mainly about? A. Different ways to deal with teenagers using the latest cell phones.B. That teenagers should not use the latest cell phones at school.C. Different views on teenagers using the latest cell phones.D. That the latest cell phone models are becoming very popular with teenagers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What does it really mean to be successful?26 .
