Thats true. One thing I still cannot adjust to is the food and drink.Almost every American person loves

27、sodas (汽水), especially those full of ice cubes (方块). I remember the first day I came to my host family. When I asked them for a glass of hot water, they all looked at me and thought I was crazy!At my school theres no water dispenser (饮水机) but theres one in each classroom in China. All the American s

28、tudents drink water from taps (水龙头) outside the restrooms that are specially designed for drinking. The water is cold and the school doesnt have hot water.The most popular food here is hamburgers and French chips, which are junk food in China. Most students who eat at school prefer those to salads.

29、They also eat lots of pizzas and hot dogs. As a result, you can always see some really fat people in school.Luckily, my host mom is really a great cook. She always makes food from different countries and eats a balanced meal every day. So I have a lot of fruit and vegetables. At my host familys home

30、, they usually eat biscuits.These old-fashioned biscuits are low in fat and flavored (味道) with buttermilk, butter, and a bit of honey. Oh here comes the most interesting thing: the word “biscuit” in China actually means “cracker (薄脆饼干)” here. Real biscuits are a kind of soft cake.I was also amazed b

31、y the rich kinds of food in American supermarkets and their reasonable prices. For example, one brand of yogurt has 20 kinds of flavors! Youre sure to find one that you like. And most of the food provides you “light”, “original” (原味的) or “no sugar” options to choose from. 56. The underlined phrase “

32、adjust to” is closest in meaning to _.A.deal with B. get rid ofC. get used to D. choose from57. What surprised the author about drinking water in the US?A. People drink from any tap they find.B.

34、lthily.59. What is the main idea of the article?A. To show how badly Americans need to change their diet.B. To tell about the American foods that she likes and dislikes.C. To show how much fun she has with her host family.D.To introduce food differences between America and China.BRemembering names i

35、s an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversationWhen you hear a persons name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips .You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other

36、 person to recite and repeatYou can let other people help you remember their names. After youve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort youre making to learn their names.Admit you dont knowAdmitting t

37、hat you cant remember someones name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “Im working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again？”Use associationLink each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. F

38、or example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng-tall，black hair”. To reinforce your association, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself

39、 from remembering everyone. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on t

40、ime. Thats fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others-an automatic review for you. 60.

How to recite and

42、 repeat names B. Importance of attending partiesC. How to make use of associations D. Tips on an important social skillCSOME of my earliest memories are of listening to my father play music with his friends. Id pretend to be a part of the band, imagining that the invisible (隐形的) instrument (乐器) I wa

43、s playing made the music a little sweeter.I could probably remember more about those days with my father if I hadnt spent years trying to forget them. When he died at the age of 34, my mother took his pictures off the wall. His instruments and his clothes were put in a closet (壁橱). The songs he had

44、recorded were also packed away, but sometimes at night my mother would slip outside and listen to them in her car. If she left the front door open, I could hear the music from our kitchen. Some of the songs were about her, and about us. When they ended, I could hear her crying.The first few weeks an

45、d months after he died were about surviving and trying to move on. The less we could all think of him, the easier it was to get through the day.With time, the pain did begin to fade. And as I grew into a man, my curiosity (好奇心) about my father grew. Did he hold the same beliefs as I did? Would he ha

46、ve been proud or wished that I had accomplished more?I tracked down his best friend and music partner, Doug, who shared with me the songs they recorded together. In one song, he sang about an old man he met who reminded (提醒) him of the importance of family and good friends:The actions thatll make yo

47、ur pastTheyre the only things thatll lastAnd be the best friend that you canWhen people die, they leave behind possessions (财产) a house, a car, money things you can touch that only remind you of the person on a surface(表面) level. My father left behind his music and words, and in them a piece of his

48、soul. Because of that, I can still hear his voice and sing along, imagining Im a part of his band.64. What is the authors memory of his father?A. He often listened to his father play music.B. He often played as a part of his fathers band.C. He often played an instrument with his father.D. He often h

49、elped to make his fathers music better.65. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. The authors mother was too heart-broken to move on.B. The authors mother decided to erase any memory of his father.C. The authors mother tried to lessen the sadness of her son.D. The authors mother hated her father for

50、leaving them so early.66. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. The author once tried to forget his father because he left them nothing.B. The author got to know more about his father from his songs.C. The author wanted to grow up to be a man just like his father.D. The author d

51、ecided to join a band in memory of his father.67. Which of the following would be the best title for the article?A. Growing up aloneB. Early memories of my fatherC. Finding out about my fatherD. Time will heal DThe fame of JaneIN the 19th century the novel came into its own. Thousands upon thousands

52、 of novels were published. Of those novels, very few are remembered today. However, there are exceptions (例外); the works of Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility for example. They achieved only modest success at first but grew and grew in fame(名声) and reputation.How did Jane Austen

53、become so popular?Of course, the novels are romantic（浪漫的）. Everyone knows the love story of Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett (in Pride and Prejudice), and how they overcome their own pride and prejudice to live happily ever after. The lovers are almost as famous today as Romeo and Juliet.But there is

54、more to Austens popularity than the fact that she wrote about love. The books are very witty (机智的) and ironic (讽刺的), and show a great understanding of society and of people. Pride and Prejudice opens with what must be the most famous sentence in the English novel: “It is a truth universally acknowledged(认可), that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”The truth, of course, is the opposite: wealthy, unmarried young men are extremely attractive to young women
