We used to visit each other and go out together sometimes.

Since it was _34_ time, we had a cookout, _35_ most of his American friends and relatives were known to me, but there were others I had never met before.

It was hard to explain my embarrassment to the other _38_. When one of them turned around and said, What nice clothes! Whats the occasion? I felt my _39_ burning hot. I didnt _40_ at all. If she knew how _41_ I already felt, she wouldnt have said that to me. Maybe she didnt _42_ to make me feel uncomfortable, but my reaction had to do with the way I already felt. Many times I thought of going home and _43_ but I knew they would _44_. It would be even _45_ for me because I knew they would quickly think that I felt out of _46_. So I wanted to pretend that I was _47_. I have already realized their _48_ are different from mine.

Your difficulties may appear small compared to those of April Alvarez. Doctors said she had a memory problem and severe learning disability. They said she would never learn to read or write. She was diagnosed with a growth hormone problem at age 3. Later she had to endure years of doctors visits and daily shots. But she never gave up hope. April expresses her attitude this way: Even if its dark sometimes, in my mind the stars are there. April refuses to let learning challenges hold her back. She receives special education services. But she also worked her way into advanced classes at Hawaiis Kahuku High School. With persistence and the help of others, she has learned to develop her memory and become a topstudent. I rarely get things the first time, she says. But she keeps trying and often ends up with a better understanding than other students. For being such a good example, April was featured as an All-Star Kid in the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper. Art and design are like therapy for April. One of her watercolor designs won the grand prize in a national Christmas card contest. She also enjoys designing clothing, handbags and other items. April hopes to develop this talent into a career. Her plan is to study at the Fashion institute of Technology in New York. In a major step toward this goal, she received $ 27,500 in scholarships from state and national awards last year. She won these awards in recognition of her academic success. April isnt content with just improving herself. She tries to help others, too. With her church, she has collected food for the poor and done chores for the elderly. She organized a Christmas event where poor children receive donated gifts. Does she have advice for others? You can do anything if you put your heart into it and try really hard. she says. Her story certainly inspires people to try hard and never give up.53. We can know from the passage that April _. A. has a better understanding than other students B. has put up with doctors visits and daily shots for 20 years C. inspires other people to try hard and stop doing it D. donates $ 27,500 to the church and the elderly54. From the passage we know that I rarely get things the first time refers to A. I cant accept things the first time I see them B. I cant understand the first things C. I always learn my subjects well at the beginning D. I seldom understand and learn things well at the very beginning55. According to the passage, the best way to learn from April is _. A. to put your heart into your work and never give up B. to suffer from an illness resembling hers C. to collect food for the poor and do chores for the elderly D. to inspire people so that you can receive much money in scholarships56. What characteristics does April have? A. Strong in character, hard-working and quick in learning things. B. Strong in character, hard-working and willing to help others. C. Good at winning awards and willing to help others. D. Selfish, strong in character and outgoing.C Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite Why, thank you, but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) reflect about your personal qualities? Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy -the ability to put yourself into someone elses head and heart. Were all able to do this; in fact, were born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced(加强)by our parents, teachers, and friends. When it isnt, were not able to understand other peoples feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional qualities. Think back to the presents youve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know. We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Ignoring the tradition wont make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time.57. According to the passage, when you received a gift that is not to your taste, you would _. A. throw it away B. hate the person who gave it to you C. think it had been handed to you by mistake D. pretend you liked it58. The underlined expression you had missed the mark means you had failed to _.A. make her feel better B. keep your friendshipC. get the expected effect D. receive a present in return59. Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Natural empathy needs to be reinforced. B. Emotional changes influence ones choice of gifts. C. Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with. D. Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers.60. The best possible title for this passage is _. A. Ways of Choosing Gifts B. An Important Tradition C. Exchanging Presents D. Message in a GiftD America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while-then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably. For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!61. The writer of this passage must be _.A. an American B. a Chinese C. a professor D. a student62. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break. B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives. C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy. D. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.63. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be _.A. offered a ride to his home
