If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower m

Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality（好客） easily.Another di

21、fficult 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 requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be_Sometimes, we, as host

The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine（事务

23、）. They will be likely to 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 arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably. For the Americans, it is often conside

There were less than ten seconds left and

34、 the ball stopped in front of one of my sons teammates，Mickey.With cheering shouts across the field，Mickey went back a little and kicked the ball with everything he had.All around me the crowd became crazy and excited.Mickey had scored!Then there was a complete silence.Mickey had scored，but into the

35、 wrong gate the ball went into the gate of my sons team，ending the game in a drawYou see，Mickey has a serious illness in his head，which makes his IQ lower than that of normal children of the same age.And for him，he didnt understand what a wrong goal was.All goals were celebrated by a happy hug from

36、Mickey.He had been known to hug the players whom he was fighting against when they scored.The silence was finally broken when Mickey，his face filled with joy，caught my son，hugged him and shouted，“I scored! I scored! Everybody won! Everybody won！” For a moment I held my breath，not sure what my son wo

37、uld do or say.In fact，I didnt need to worry at that time.I watched through tears，when I found my son raised his hand and started to call out wildly，“Well done，Mickey！” Soon，members from both teams got together around Mickey，congratulating on his goal.Later that night，my daughter asked who had won.“E

Scientists at Queen Mary University of London did an experiment with bees. It shows that bees can learn something new to gain reward(奖励). Then they can teach other bees t

41、o do the same. And thats not all they can do. Olli Luokola was one of the scientists who worded on the study. He said that the bees did not just copy what they saw. They actually improved on what they were learning. “This is of course amazing for small-brained insects,” he said. He added that it is

42、even harder for humans to improve on something they learned by copying others.For the experiment, the bees had to move a yellow ball into the center of a platform(平台). First, the scientists showed the bees how to do it. When the ball got into the center, the scientists added sugar water to reward th

43、e subjects. The bees learned that the rewards came when the ball was put in the right place. They got better and better at moving the balls. Then, they got more of the reward. After a while, they began to move the balls by themselves.The scientists tried something else. They put the trained bees on

44、a platform with bees that were not trained. After watching the trained bees once, the untrained bees learned how to do it too. They didnt just copy the behavior, though. The new bees also improved on the action；They chose balls closer to themselves. All brains-in people and people-have neurons(神经元)

45、let you think. Scientist Reese Halter says bees are “highly intelligent creatures,” even though they have far fewer neutrons than humans. Halter explained that bees talk to each other with their bodies, but not like what we do. They use their bodies instead of words. They butt heads, bump into each

46、other and they even dance. Luokola said scientists used to think that the smaller the brain, the less intelligent the animal! But this study proves(证明)that is not true.1The word “experiment” in the passage is most probably _.Aa medical programBa scientific testCan animal storyDa biology expert2Accor

47、ding to paragraph 1, which of the following is TRUE about study?AIt helps humans to get better at something by copying.BIt teaches bees to copy what they saw and do the same.CIt shows bees can learn something new to gain a reward.DIt trains the bees how to move a ball to the right place.3Paragraph 2

48、 mainly talks about_.Awhat kind of balls bees movedBwhy scientists help bees to get a rewardCwhere bees moved the ballsDhow bees are trained to move the balls4From paragraph 3, we can learn that scientists_.Ahave always believed that bees are highly intelligentBexplain that bees talk to each other i

49、n body languagesChave questioned whether the studys results are correctedDexplain that bees are unable to learn from one another5What is the main idea of this passage?ABees are very intelligent insects though they have tiny brains.BBees can talk by bumping into one another and even dancing.CBees can

50、 copy a behavior they see but hardly improve upon it.DBees are smart enough to get a reward without moving a ball.F18、 (An excerpt of After Twenty Years)There was now a cold rain falling and the wind was stronger. The few people walking along that street were hurrying, trying to keep warm. At the do

51、or of the shop stood the man who had come a thousand miles to meet a friend, Jimmy Wells. Twenty years ago, they agreed to meet here tonight. Such a meeting could not be certain. But he waited.About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long coat came hurrying across the street. He went

52、 directly to the waiting man.“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully.“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried Bob.The new man took Bobs hands in his. “Its Bob! It surely is. I was certain I would find you here if you were still alive. Twenty years is a long time. The old restaurant is gone, Bob. I wish it

53、 were here, so that we could have another dinner in it. Has the West been good to you?”“It gave me everything I asked for. Youve changed, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall.”“Oh, I grew a little after I was twenty.”“Are you doing well in New York, Jimmy?”“Well enough. I work for the city. Come

54、on, Bob. Well go to a place I know, and have a good long talk about old times.”The two men started along the street, arm in arm. Bob, the man from the West, was beginning to tell the story of his life. The other, with his coat up to his ears, listened with interest.At the corner stood a shop bright

55、with electric lights. When they came near, each turned to look at the others face.The man from the West stopped suddenly and pulled his arm away. “Youre not Jimmy Wells,” he said. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change the shape of a mans nose.”“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the
