         Finally,I entered the university.Because of my careful  savings,I did not have to work during the school years.Then,summer came and it was time to work harder than ever.I continued working as a waitress at night,instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons.I even decided to take a class at a community (社区) college.This class at the community college  saved me $650.It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.

         During my second and  third years of undergraduate schooling,I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus (校园)admissions office answering phones.This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings  out.The  overall  situation  looked  hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer.I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks,but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel.About two weeks later my mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about!One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost,but the loss of time to make money;however,I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before.The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.

        This experience has shaped me in many important ways.The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic (道德准则).Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar.It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.

 Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative (保守的) person who is 1only among those with whom he is familiar. When a stranger is present, he often seemsnervous,2embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train (通勤车)any morning or evening to 3 the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or 4off in a corner; hardly anybody talks, sinceto do so would be considered quite offensive (冒犯的).

5 , there is an unwritten but clearlyunderstood code of behavior, which, once 6 , makes the offender immediately theobject of7.

One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a Britishtakes a(n)8 to the discussion of their weather and that, if given achance, he will talk about it9. Some people argue that it isbecause the British weather10 follows forecast and thus becomes asource of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly a British cannot havemuch 11 in the weathermen, whose predictions, in many cases,12to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurate—or as inaccurate—asthe weathermen in his 13.

Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references 14 weather that theBritish make to each other in the course of a single day. Very oftenconversational greetings are 15 by comments on the weather. “Niceday, isn't it?”“Beautifulday!”may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?”16 the foreigner mayconsider this exaggerated (夸大的)and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his17.If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is 18 to knowwhere to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It isa(n)19 subject to which a response may well be 20 ofeven the most reserved of the British.

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

        Remember Mr. Bean? The creation of British comic actor Rowan Atkinson has been away {#blank#}1{#/blank#}a while. But now he is back, in a new movie {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(call) Mr. Bean'sHoliday.

        The film {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(release) next Monday in the UK. Our hero and his peanut-sized brain are off on a vacation to the south of France. What trouble will he cause this time?

        Mr.Bean first appeared in 1990, and the idiot hero has been a hit around the world ever since. Why has the character enjoyed {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(succeed) with people of different cultures? One reason is that there is very little dialogue in the stories andthus no language barrier. The sight of Mr. Bean as a barber making {#blank#}5{#/blank#}horrible mess of some poor customers' hair doesn't need translating.

        But there is a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(deep) reason. Although he is British and the stories generallytake place in British settings, Mr. Bean is really nationless. People from different cultures laugh at {#blank#}7{#/blank#} for the same reason that earlier generationslaughed at comic star Charlie Chaplin. It is physical humor {#blank#}8{#/blank#} draws on thetimeless appeal of everything going wrong.

        Mr.Bean breaks social rules {#blank#}9{#/blank#} he goes—he jumps the queue, tries to cheat inexams—something we all secretly want to do {#blank#}10{#/blank#} dare not.
