23、项。Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We dont always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes

24、friends dont get along well, which doesnt mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new

25、friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We thi

26、nk of these people when we go to these places.Theres more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those dont have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if som

30、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

31、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 holid

32、ays, 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 requir

33、es 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,

34、 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 arriv

35、e 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!55. The wr

36、iter of this passage must be _.A. an American B. a Chinese C. a professor D. a student56. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be _.A. warmly welcomed at the airport B. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably a

37、t his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant57. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean _. A. strict with time B. serious with time C. careful with time D. willing to spend time58. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”. A. Friendships between C

38、hinese B. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans hospitality D. Americans and Chineses views of friendshipsCCan you remember the day when you spoke your first word? If you can, you are unusual. Try to imagine what first few months of your life were like. I am sure you just spent most of your time

39、 eating, sleeping and crying. As you grow older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more time to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened curiously. You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things. Then you began to try making the sounds

40、you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing. On that day you came to understand the secret of language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is no good as a word unless everybody agrees on its mean

41、ing. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, can they understand each other. Then, and only then do these people have a LANGUAGE. After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as BOOKS, CHAIRS and SHOES. Some words meant doi

42、ng things, such as GO and SWIM. And other words describe things, such as GOOD and DIRTY. Soon you learned to put words together to express ones idea, such as 1 want to go out and play with my friends. This is language. By means of language people can communicate. So we say languages are means of com

43、munication.59. When you were a little baby, you_. A. made sounds to let people know that you wanted to eat B. spent most of your time playing with your parents C. could not hear any sound around you D. spent most of your time eating, playing and crying60.

46、et. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the worlds books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary perhaps as many as two million words. However, lets face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg

47、 in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which arent sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public ba

48、throoms have no baths in them. And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers dont fing, grocers dont groce, and hammers dont ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldnt the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese so one moose, two meese? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same

49、, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next? English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human b

50、eings. Thats why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

He had been there for twenty years before one day he was sent to the capital for important business. He was quite e

53、xcited because he had never been there before. Before he set off, he asked his wife and three daughters if they wanted him to buy something for them in Lon-don. Mrs. Brown began to think it over and then she said she wished her husband would be able to buy a nice umbrella for her, and so did their t

54、hree daughters. As he was afraid he would forget it, he drew an umbrella on his hand. To his regret, he lost it at the station.On the train Mr. Brown sat opposite to an old woman. The womans umbrella was so nice that he carefully looked at it and said to himself not to forget to buy a few umbrellas like it. When the train arrived at the station in London, he said good-bye to the old woman, took his bag and her umbrella and was going to get off.“Wait
