One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didnt want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I dont respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I dont show my feelings through words.By Jack21. Jack brought the couple their food very fast because _.A. the manager asked him to do so B. he respected the elderlyC. the couple wanted him to do so D. he wanted more pay22.

In Jacks hometown, _.A. people dislike being called “old”B. people are proud of being oldC. many people reach the age of seventy or eightyD. the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants24. After this experience, Jack _.A. lost his job in the restaurantB. made friends with the coupleC. no longer respected the elderlyD. changed his way with older peopleB篇Dick lived in England. One day in January he said to his wife， Im going to fly to New York next week because Ive got some work there. Where are you going to stay there？ his wife asked. I dont know yet. Dick answered. Please send me your address from there in a telegram （电报）， his wife said. All right， Dick answered.He flew to New York on January 31st and found a nice hotel in the center of the city.

Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up(用完) or the river was dirty in one place, Man moved to another place.

Its bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air.Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused (引起) by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it.
