        America is a mobile society. 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. 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 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.
        Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't 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 generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. 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). 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 considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

    (1)The writer of this passage must be_______.

    A . an American B . a Chinese C . a visitor D . a student
    【答案】
    (2)Which of the following is true according to the passage?

    A . Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break B . Americans are usually more friendly than Chinese C . Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy D . Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
    【答案】
    (3)From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will be_______.

    A . warmly welcomed at the airport B . offered a ride to his home C . treated hospitably at his home D . treated to dinner in a restaurant
    【答案】
    (4)The underlined words "generous with our time" in Paragraph 3 mean_______.

    A . strict with time B . willing to spend time C . careful with time D . free with time

     "Have you ever heard that it's impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times? Actually, it is just a popular myth. 

    The myth refers to folding a piece of paper in half many times in any direction. The paper is folded in half. Try it for yourself with a piece of notebook paper. ____ But when you make the fifth and sixth folds, you'll notice that it's increasingly hard to fold the paper. Why does it happen? Because the number of the layers (层) of paper doubles with each fold. For example, after the sixth fold, you're left with 64 layers of paper. If you have strong hands, you may be able to make that seventh fold. If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick, it'll be as thick as a notebook after seven folds. And it would seem impossible to make more folds. At this point, you may be thinking that the paper-folding myth doesn't sound much like a myth.

    However, in 2002, a high school student named Britney Gallivan proved the idea wrong. Britney successfully folded a 1.20-meter-long roll of toilet paper 12 times (note that she used single-direction folding). She also developed a math rule. This is convenient. It allows you to find out the maximum (最大的) number of possible folds based on paper thickness, paper length, and direction of folding.

    Since Britney's success, many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times. Students even folded a piece of toilet paper a total of thirteen times. The toilet paper they used was about 4,000 meters long!

    British people are big tea drinkers. It is a tradition in Britain to drink tea for many reasons. People enjoy it at breakfast, during visits with friends, and on tea breaks at work. People even "have a cuppa" when they talk about their personal problems. But the biggest reason for drinking tea is to relax.

    Recently, a research from the Tea Group shows that more people would like to choose fruit and other teas over traditional English breakfast tea. Researchers did a survey of more than 2,000 tea lovers. Over 50% of people said their favourite tea was not the traditional one. Over 20% of people chose green tea as their favourite tea. Just over 20% said English breakfast tea was their first choice.

    Sales of traditional tea in the UK are declining (下降) during these years. Three years ago, a survey found that English breakfast tea was the preferred (更喜欢的) choice for 54 % of British people. But the new research shows a declining interest in this traditional tea.

    The researchers also found other interesting facts about tea-drinking habits (习惯) in the UK. The British seem to love milky and sugary tea. Around 85 % of people who drink English breakfast tea would like to put milk in it. About 45% of people sweeten their tea with sugar, and interestingly, those with a sweet tooth put as much as three teaspoons of sugar in their cup.

    Taking public transportation(公共交通) in the United States, you can often see people reading books on their way to school or work. But in China, I rarely (很少的) see people reading during their free time. 

    Are people's attitudes toward reading different here?Not really, Data (数据) released by Amazon China in December 2017 show that Chinese people still read a lot. They simply prefer e﹣books over regular books. 

    However, other data show that reading is still more popular in the US than in China. Is there a reason for this difference?I'm not sure. What I do know is that China has a rich history of literature (文学) (From classic novels like Romance of the Three Kingdoms(《三国演义》) to the modern science﹣fiction books The Three﹣ Body Problem(《三体》), Chinese writers have created many fantastic written works. Perhaps the difference starts from childhood. Reading textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you might not fell like reading for fun. Chinese students definitely (肯定) have to read more and do more homework than US students. So it's no wonder that they might not want to read much in their spare time. 

    But learning to love reading can be great. Reading can open doors to places, people and ideas that you cannot imagine. Even just a single book has the power to change your own beliefs and attitudes. Where will your next book take you?

     阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

    Speaking of respecting the elderly, the first Chinese festival that comes to your mind might be the traditional Double Ninth Festival. The festival is celebrated {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar every year. The festival {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(know) as Chongyang Festival, too.

    One of the main {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (tradition) during the festival is mountain climbing. People get together with their families and friends to hike up mountains to "stand high and see far". This has been a Chinese tradition since ancient times.

    Traditionally, the festival is also a time to drink chrysanthemum wine(菊花酒), eat Chongyang cakes {#blank#}4{#/blank#} wear cornels(茱萸). The chrysanthemum wine is not only a delicious drink but also believed to be good for health. People also believe that cornels can help to drive out the bad spirits and bring good luck.

    However, the Double Ninth Festival is not just a time for climbing mountains and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(enjoy) the autumn scenery. More importantly, it is a time to show respect for the elderly.

    As nine is the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(big) single-digit(个位) number, and its pronunciation sounds the same as "long" in Chinese, the festival shows people's wish for all the elderly to live a long and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (health) life. So the day is also seen as a chance {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (care) for and express thanks to the elderly. Families usually come together and show respect and love for their elder relatives. People may also visit {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they) grandparents or elderly neighbors, bringing gifts and sharing meals.

    The Double Ninth Festival is of great {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (important) in Chinese traditional culture. It reminds us not only the beauty of autumn but also the value of the elderly.
