I think there is no other country that I have heard so many things about before I visited it. Burgers, big cars, fat people, good wine and fantastic cities. For sure the real experience was quite different. Although you can find all these things there, you will also find many other things to discover.In Los Angeles, I stayed at a place where they even produced home-made videos. I always thought in Hollywood only movies with lots of money are produced. But in this place, even parts of the living room were functioned (运作) into a scene. But anyway, this shows what you imagined about a place before arriving might be totally wrong. Now I started to understand the city is not only the place where the big movies are made, its also where people are crazy about movies, and always try to start a production even if they dont have lots of money. People there just really love movies, they are motivated (调动积极) to give their ideas a try and at least open up a channel online with their home-made stories.Of course, there are many other interesting places in Los Angeles. As I stayed only a few days, it was not enough time to see all. But I advise you to have two apps on your smart phone for traveling in America. First is Yelp to find the closest and best restaurant or coffee place. And the other is Uber because especially in Los Angeles, you wont find taxis and everything is so far. You can also drive but its wise to park your car close to a subway station and go to Hollywood by subway.（1）The writer has already known a lot about the U.S. before going there except the _.A . weatherB . foodC . peopleD . cities（2）Which of the following is WRONG about the place where the writer stayed?A . Some home-made videos are also made.B . Not only movies with lots of money are produced.C . Even parts of the living room were functioned into a scene.D . The place is almost the same as what the writer imagined.（3）The people in the place where the writer stayed _.A . are only crazy about big moviesB . usually dont have lots of moneyC . always try to start a productionD . may open up a channel online with others home-made stories（4）The writer gives us some advice about traveling in America NOT including _.A . how to find the best restaurantB . where to park our car if drivingC . whether to find taxis if its too farD . how to take a subway to Hollywood（5）The passage mainly talks about _.A . what Los Angeles is really likeB . how the writer travels in AmericaC . apps you can use on your smart phoneD . the writers travel feelings and some advice3. （10分）阅读理解CJoel and Sara are students from RussiaNow they are in the UK for their four-week studyJoel and Sara dont have many lessonsonly two in the morningIn the afternoon they work on their homework，go to interesting places or play different sportsIt is so much funJoel and Sara like talking to other studentsThey learn a lot about English culture and customs(文化和习俗)And their English is very good now,because they practice it every dayIn the evening，they sometimes go to the moviesThe best days for Joel and Sara are Saturday and Sunday，because they often go to London on the weekendThey like everything in London but they like the museums (博物馆)bestMadame Tussauds is their favorite museumThere are lots of wax figures of famous people(名人蜡像)thereFour weekstime is really shortJoel and Sara need to go home in two days.They have a great time here.Its difficult for them to say goodbye to their new friendsThey will write e-mails when they arrive home根据材料内容选择最佳答案。（1）How long is Joel and Saras study in the UK?A .

For example, there are differences in the way Chinese and Americans raise children.First, Chinese and American families have different attitudes towards independence (独立). Each Chinese child has been considered to be the apple of parents eyes. It is not surprising to see Chinese parents always helping their children with getting dressed, having meals, bathing, and other things. American parents, on the other hand, teach their children how to do things alone from childhood.Second, most Chinese parents often make their children have extra classes, such as piano, drawing, or singing lessons. Parents want their children to develop in an all-round way and be better students than other children. The problem is that their children may not be interested in these classes. American parents try to respect (尊重) their childrens interests and usually dont make them do what they dont like.Third, there is a difference in the way parents in China and American treat mistakes that children make. Many Chinese people believe in the saying, “Spare the rod, spoil the child (不打不成器).” When Chinese parents see their children make mistakes, they often get very angry, some even hit them instead of making them realize their mistakes. This affects the childrens growth and the forming of their character, and also makes the generations gap (代沟) wide. American parents think it is common for people to make mistakes because mistakes are a part of life. They often say, “Its OK to make mistakes. Making mistakes helps you learn.” They help their children deal with mistakes by giving them ideas about how to turn mistakes into learning opportunities (机会).Fa
