Letter A

Dear Rose,

    I like your programmes very much. I'm now writing to ask you something about American social customs (社交习惯). My American friends want me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy and have decided to go, but I'm a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, so I'm afraid of making mistakes.

    Should I bring a present, such as sweets or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork (叉子) or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I'm thankful for their kindness?

Yours

Wang Lin

Letter B

Dear Wang Lin,

    It's a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) if you know that your friends drink it. You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don't get there early. If you're going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them. Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don't know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you.

    If you like the food, say so. Of course, you'll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It's also a good idea to send a thank-you card the day after.

Yours

Rose

 阅读下列材料,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项。

If you want to change your mood(心情) into a happy one, there are some suggestions(建议) on how you can get into a happy mood.

Watch a funny show or movie. This is a great way to divert(转移) your attention away from whatever is making you feel sad. A funny show or movie will also get you to laugh. Laughing will make you feel happier.

Do something you like to get you into a happy mood. For example, what gets me into a happy mood is getting a massage(按摩), going out to a new restaurant, hiking with some friends, making life goals and planning my next trip.

Listen to some happy music. Research has shown that music can help form our happy mood.  Listen to different types of music. Find out which music can get you into the happy mood.

Make a difference in someone's life. Help a stranger in need or simply ask your neighbors what you can do to help them. Doing something for someone else will not only make them feel happy but also make you happy.

Take care of your body. Sometimes if we don't eat, sleep or take care of our body, feelings of sadness will take over. So get 6-8 hours of rest. Eat three meals a day with snacks between them. Every day do some simple exercise. When you feel your best, getting into a happy mood will become easier.

Bryan ran home. "Dad! Look!" he called excitedly. "I found the cutest pet in the river! I named him Hoppy. "

Dad had a closer look, "Oh, a frog! How handsome!"

"Do you think Hoppy will like it here?"

"Why don't you keep him for a while, and then we'll see how he's going. "

Bryan found a shoebox. Using a pen, he poked(戳)air holes in the top of the box. "Welcome to your new home. In you go, Hoppy. "

"Are you hungry?" Bryan asked. He lifted his frog out of the box and put some sandwich pieces in front of him. "Eat up, Hoppy. " Bryan watched. . . But Hoppy didn't eat. Bryan waited. . . Hoppy just sat and stared(瞪眼看). "Don't you like sandwiches?"

Bryan put Hoppy back in the box. "I think Hoppy's tired. I'm going to make him a comfortable bed. " Bryan cut the old newspapers into pieces and put them into the box. He put Hoppy on his new bed. "Are you cozy now? I'll tell a story to help you sleep. " When the story was over, Hoppy was still awake. 

"Can't you sleep? Why?" Bryan asked. Hoppy just sat . . . and stared. Bryan didn't know what to do and sat thinking. 

"How are you getting along?" Dad asked. 

Bryan cried, "Hoppy doesn't want to eat or sleep. "

 "Think about what he really needs. "

A little later, Bryan ran into the house looking for his dad. "Whoa!" said Dad. "What's the hurry? And where's Hoppy?"

"I took him back to the river, " Bryan said. "He was sure glad to be home! When I put Hoppy down, he jumped into the river, caught a fly and ate it. Then, guess what!"

"What?"

Bryan laughed. "Just before Hoppy jumped into the water, I think I saw him smile at me. "

①China is one of the first countries to develop a medical culture. Compared with Western methods, traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) uses quite a different way. For thousands of years, Chinese people have got rich experience in fighting all kinds of diseases and formed a unique medical theory(理论).

②The key point behind TCM is that the human body's life is the result of the balance between yin and yang. Yang works to protect us against outer(外面的) harm, while yin is the inner base to store and provide energy. When the balance between the two is broken, people fall ill.

③One of the traditional skills of TCM, acupuncture (针刺疗法), means putting needles into superficial structures of the body - usually at acupoints(穴位) to restore the yin-yang balance. It is often together with moxibustion(灸法), which includes burning the mugwort(艾草) on or near the skin at an acupoint.

④The first known text that clearly talks about something like acupuncture and moxibustion as it is practiced today is Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon. It is the earliest and most important written work of TCM and is considered the most representative medical text in China.

⑤Acupuncture and moxibustion have caused the interest of international medical science circles. And TCM is getting worldwide popular little by little. The WTO sent a document in 2002 and called more than180 countries to use TCM as an alternative(可供选择) in their medical policies.

⑥In 2010, acupuncture and moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine were added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO.
