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.. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us develop 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 holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
There is another difficult point for us Chinese to understand. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous (慷慨)with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.. 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. 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.. We will find ourselves treated hospitably(好客).
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
A.Americans don't show their politeness if it requires a great deal of time.
B.Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D.Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
E.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.
F.If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.
G.America is a mobile society.
A strong memory depends on the health and vitality（活力）of your brain. They say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn't true. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.
Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you'll be able to process and remember information.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Don't skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn't mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.
Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.
Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain's worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.
Have a laugh. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, it's not just what you eat—it's also what you don't eat.
A. Eat a brain-boosting diet. B. Play games with memory. C. Laughter is the best medicine. D. But oversleeping is not good for your brain. E. Even skipping a few hours makes a difference! F. You have to shake things up from time to time! G. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change. |

A. The teacher also travelled around the country. B. All over the deserts are farms and small towns. C. This was how the first "School of the Air" started. D. These families' children cannot go to school like you. E. With the development of technology, computers are becoming popular. |
In the middle of my home country there are very large places. They are hot and dry land called deserts.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Families live a long way from other people. Sometimes they are the only people for thousands of kilometres. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
About 65years ago these people found that using strong radios was a possible way for families living far away to communicate with each other. They decided they could use the radios for school. In this way, children could talk to each other like at school. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
The children each spent about 30minutes a day on the radio. They talked to their teacher about their work and difficulties. The teacher designed some exercises and tasks based on what they learned and posted them to the children. After finishing their work, the children sent it back to their teacher to mark. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} He tried to visit each child twice each year. This was sometimes difficult. The journey was very long and could be dangerous. In addition, the school held camps once a year. The children could all meet each other and shared their learning experience.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} The government provides families with computers so that the children can use the Internet to talk to their teachers and classmates by e-mail now. The teachers enjoy their work very much because they get to know the children and their families very well. It is an interesting way to learn, don't you think?
