They dont feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand .Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending（延伸）deeply into both families.There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take a day off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America. Americans cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality（好客）at home andenjoy your visit in America!54.

Luckily, you dont have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance(加强) your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding:Sit Quietly. The step of developing SQ begins in solitude （独处） and silence. To tune in to its whisper, you have to keep away from your busy, noisy, complicated life and make yourself do nothing at all. At home, for example, shut the door of your bedroom, take a few deep breaths and let them out very, very slowly.Step Outside. For many people, nature makes their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds floating overhead.Find An Activity You Enjoy. Its important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.Ask Questions Of Yourself. Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures (经文). Others ask open-ended (无确定答案的) questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices?” But dont expect an answer to arrive through some super-natural form of e-mail. Later that day youll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective (角度) you never considered before.Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut feelings (直觉) to warn us of danger, SQ usually nudges （渐渐推动） us, not away from, but toward some action that will lead to a greater good. 57. To enhance your SQ, you should first _.A. stand loneliness and silenceB. make your life simpler and less busyC. give up the daily things in your lifeD. listen more to your whisper58.The underlined phrase “tune in to your spirit” in the fifth paragraph probably means _.A. get your spirit relaxed B. keep up your spiritC. listen to your spirit D. change your spirit59.

When I had bought the medicine, she asked me to play some music. I thought for a moment and 40 to play David Lanzs Return to the Heart, 41 she had so much passion(热情)for and interest in music, and its one of my favourite songs.I played the song to the best of my ability(能力), putting as much emotion into it as possible. She 42 it. As I was about to step out of the door, I heard a weak voice calling, “Young man!”I 43 , and saw an old lady taking one little step at a time with the help of another woman. “I wanted to come out to thank you for the 44 song that you played. I have been very sick, and its very hard for me to get out of bed, but I really wanted to thank you for the song. It made me feel good.” she said. With that, she turned around and walked slowly back to her room.I was deeply touched by her 45 and felt a deeper understanding for the song.

Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawlings expert care, will produce a good crop（收成）of oranges this year.However, Ed has to guard against Floridas changeable winter weather. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Eds entire orange crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed is prepared for the frost(霜). When temperatures drop below freezing, Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer(层) of ice around the trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is taken in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level. Ed has effectively used this method to save many orange crops.But Ed still faces difficulties. The trees must be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity(数量)of water must be used. Too much water can form a thicker layer of ice that will break the trees branches(树枝). Another difficulty is that wind blows away the heat, so Ed has to worry about not only when but also how often his trees should be watered, and how much water should be used.Computer technology may help Ed with some of these worries. With equipment(设备), air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The information is fed into a computer which can calculate(计算) when the temperature will drop below freezing. The computer can correctly decide the quantity of water to be used and how frequently(经常地 ) the trees should be watered. Ed finds looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer, and, his customers will have the benefits(利益) of computerage oranges. 58. The passage is mainly about_.A. a farmer expert cares for his orange treesB. the different uses of computersC. growing oranges in Floridas changeable weatherD. different ways of frost protection59. Ed tries to protect his crop by_.A. using a wind machine to drive away the cold airB. equipping his orange trees with a computerC. watering it at the proper timeD. picking his fruit at the first sign of frost60. According to the passage, the computer technology_.A. removes the need for frost protectionB. prevents temperature from droppingC. tells farmers why outdoor temperatures changeD. helps the farmer get a better harvest 五、完形填空（平谷-共12分，每小题1分）Twelve-year-old Kitty ONeil asked her coach, “Let me try.” She was already on the swim team, but this was different.

Some examples of American fast food are hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, fried chicken, and so on. Some types of international fast foods might be German sausage and Schnitzel, Italian pizza, Japanese sushi and tempura, Chinese eggrolls and noodles and the like. The variety of fast foods all over the world is growing. Even so, this kind of style is becoming worldwide. Fast-food places usually prepare and serve the items quickly. Many are part of fast-food chains (eating places with the same name and company owner). For example, the biggest and most famous American fast-food chain serves hamburgers in nearly every part of the world. For several reasons, many people choose fast food. First, it is quick and convenient. Second, it is cheaper than special home-cooked meals or formal restaurant dinners. And third, it is easy to find every eating place with the same company name. The atmosphere and style of most fast-food places is casual, comfortable, and familiar. Why do other eaters stay away from this fast, easy kind of nourishment? The main reason is its low nutritional value. Fast food doesnt have large amounts of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and the like-elements necessary for good nutrition and health.

For example, will radiation from electronic equipment destroy the environment? Should medical scientists change gene structures to prevent genetic disease or to create “more perfect” human beings? While people are arguing about these and others, technology continues to influence our everyday livesthe home, health and education, entertainment and communication, and so on. Some people carry on active social lives with computers their own or the ones in public places like cafes, social centers, libraries, and so on. Communicating with others in chat rooms, computer users can get to know people they might never meet in traditional ways.
