Their father went to a town far away. Before leaving, he said he would write to them as soon as he found a job there. But two months passed, they did not hear from him.

So one day the two brothers said goodbye to their friends and started to go. They got to the station and bought two tickets.They were afraid that they would be hungry in the train, so they went to the market to buy something to eat. They saw bananas for the first time. The seller told them the bananas were very delicious, so they bought five kilos and got on the train with them. After a while Bruce brought out a banana and bit(咬) a little. Just at that moment the train went into a tunnel(隧道) and it was dark in the train.

You may feel nervous about making language mistakes in front of a native English speaker.But remember, westerners living in Asia know how it feels to try to communicate in a foreign language. They have made many mistakes when speaking Chinese!So dont worry about speaking imperfect English. The important thing is just to communicate. Start talking, and make some foreign friends!Many westerners value(注重) their privacy(隐私). Dont be surprised if your new friend doesnt want to include you in everything he does. This may seem strange to Chinese who worry about that their friends will get lonely.Chinese people often expect their good friends to give advice and take care of them in many ways. If you expect this kind of care from westerners, you may be disappointed. Why? Because most westerners value independence. They feel insulted(侮辱的) if others think they cant take care of themselves. They will assume(假设) you feel the same way.Of course, these tips(小提示) are just rules of thumb(经验之谈) and may not apply(适用) to all westerners. Each person you meet will have his or her own ideas about friendship. When you get confused(不明白), dont be shy and worry to ask questions. Your new western friends may also have many questions about Chinese culture, and they may be hesitant(犹豫) to ask. So encourage them to ask questions, too.Be honest and open to your friends. Respect each others differences. The friendships you make can be lifelong treasure both for you and your new friends.( )31.Why do many Chinese people feel worried to speak to the foreigners?A.Being shy.B.Making a lot of language mistakes.C.Nothing to say.D.Cant speak a foreign language.( )32.What is the important thing to speak perfect English?A.Starting talking.B.Meeting foreigners.C.Communicating.D.Studying English.( )33.What do you think the foreigners may not be insulted with?A.Giving advice.B.Taking care of themselves.C.Getting care from good friends.D.Getting help.( )34.What does the underlined word “independence” mean?A.独立自主B.依靠C.失落感D.伤心( )35.What may help you to make lifelong friends?A.Be honest.B.Open to your friends.C.Respect each other.D.All of the above.(C)English is now the first language of about 400 million people, the mother language of 12 countries and the official language of thirty-three more countries.
