    After coming to America, the use of "yes" and "no" brings me a lot of trouble, because the use in Korea (韩语) is a different from that in English. For example, if I am asked, "Haven't you had dinner yet?" and I have not had dinner yet, then in Korean I usually say "Yes, I haven't." But in English, I have to say, "No, I haven't."

    Because of this, my friends often get the opposite meaning from what I want to give them. One day only a month after I came to America, I had dinner with an American student, Bob. He asked me some questions and I answered them sincerely. A few days later, I found some roommates thought that I came from North Korea. One day I stopped by Bob's room and asked why he was spreading the wrong information. "Oh, you told me that. Don't you remember?" he said, "When I asked you 'You are not from North Korea, are you' clearly answered, 'Yes, of course.' Didn't it mean that you are from North Korea?"

    The different use also causes problems between my friends and me. One weekend night, my roommate Mark brought his children into the dorm(宿舍). They make some noise while playing. I didn't mind the noise since I was just watching TV. The next morning, I met Mark. He asked me with a smile, "Didn't my children make noise last night? Didn't it make you uncomfortable?" Because I did not mind the noise at all, I clearly said "Yes!" The smile suddenly disappear from Mark's face, and he said, "I am sorry about that. They are going right now. See you later." I could not understand what he was sorry about, and I just said, "OK. Bye!" After a moment of thinking, I realized how stupid I was. That evening, I explained to Mark and said sorry to him. I knew he thought that I had been very rude.

    Now to deal with this problem, I have set simple rules: First, take a five-second break if I am not sure of "yes" or "no". Second, use "pardon me", so the person may explain to me in a direct way.

(1)、From the passage, we can infer (推断) that the writer comes from ______.
A、North Korea B、America C、South Korea D、China
(2)、In Paragraph 3, when the writer answered "Yes",Mark might think the writer was _______.
A、rude B、kind C、helpful D、polite
(3)、The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to (指的是) _______.
A、"yes" B、the noise C、watching TV D、the smile
(4)、If the writer is not sure of "yes" or "no" next time, he will say______.
A、"pardon me" B、"yes" C、"no" D、"I don't know"
(5)、The writer writes the passage mainly to remind us_______.
A、to work hard on English B、to learn to respect other C、never to use "yes" or "no" D、to know culture differences

The girls spent the rest of the day preparing a play. The sisters often performed plays for their friends. A lot of girls arrived about six o' clock and took their places in the big bedroom. The play was a great success. Everybody enjoyed it very much. The girls were still laughing and clapping when Hannah came in and said," Supper is ready."

A surprise was waiting for them on the dining room table- dishes of ice cream, pink and white, fresh fruit, cakes and real French chocolates. And in the middle of all this delicious food there were four vases of beautiful flowers. The girls couldn't believe their eyes.

" Did the fairies bring the supper?" asked Amy.

" No, Santa Claus brought it," said Beth.

" Mother did it," Meg said.

" No! Aun t March sent it!" cried Jo.

" You are all wrong," said Mrs. March." Old Mr. Laurence sent it."

" The Laurence boy's grandfather!" Said Meg." Why did he do that? We don't know him!"

" Hannah told one of his servants(仆人) the story of the Hummels. Mr. Laurence was sorry to hear about your poor Christmas breakfast, so he decided to give you a surprise."

" My mother says he's very proud," said one of the girls at the table." She says that he doesn't like mixing with his neighbors. His grandson has to stay in the house and study all day. We invited him to a party once, but he didn't come. He's very shy."

"I am going to talk to him one day," said Jo." He needs to have some fun. I am going to invite him to our next play!"

How did you spend your summer holiday last month? I'd like to tell you 1 happened to me during my holiday. 

My 2 planned a relaxing and happy trip. We didn't need to keep up with our work and studies. On the first day, 3 we started out for Shanghai, we saw on TV that the traffic was heavy. So my parents 4 not to drive our car but to take the bullet train(高速火车) to Shanghai. It was the first time that I had ridden on the bullet train, so I was really 5 .

On the way, an American girl sat next to me and I talked to her. She told me that she came here for a short stay—her father came to China on business. In one year he would 6 to his company in the US. "How are you getting along here?" I asked. "Pretty good. I 7 the life here. China is a beautiful and great country. Besides, Chinese people are pretty 8 , "she said. Hearing that, I felt proud that I'm Chinese! With new friends around, the girl still missed her friends in the US very much. "It doesn't matter. I could always connect with them by writing letters and emails or making phone calls, " she said with a sweet9 . It was so great for her to be able to go through life in10 countries and cultures. I hope I can experience different cultures in other countries some day.

 Dear Ann,

 In the last letter, you said you were interested in the school club I started last year. You asked me what pushed me to do so.

 Well, the answer came to me when searching for a topic for the school work. I found that many U. S. teens weren't even eating one piece of fruit or vegetable daily! If I can help others put more vegetables and fruits into their daily meals, I would surely do that.

 So, I started" Lettuce Eat" as well as a website with nutrition(营养) tips. Here I want to share some cool tips with you.

 If you dislike eating vegetables, here's a tip for you: Put vegetables into meals without having to taste them. It got me to eat vegetables that I don't like, such as cauliflower or carrots. I mix(混合) vegetables with meat and use them in noodles or other dishes.

 Sometimes you don't even need to make a difficult dish. By just adding something on the side, you can greatly increase the nutrients you get out of the meal. For example, tomatoes have a lot of vitamin C. If you add tomatoes to rice and beans, you will get more iron.

I think my most useful lesson was knowing the importance of having"3 square meals" so that I wouldn't be very interested in unhealthy snacks(点心). In the past,I often snackeda lot on chips and chocolates and got into a bad habit of eating too much between meals, then not being hungry enough for a healthy meal, and then being hungry again for snacking... and this would go on and on. Now I know that I need to have a complete meal, including vegetables and other healthy food, and I have now given up most of my unhealthy snacking.

 There is so much to learn about nutrition. Although I only spent about a year on my club, it turned out to be a fun way to give useful information to teenagers. I hope you will join us as well!

 Yours,

 Vivian Jibrin
