My wife’s mother doesn’t smoke. When I see some guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker (不抽煙的人), I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them, but I must know that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In America, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their home. At least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But don’t be surprised if they say: “No, you can’t smoke.”

Guests in China also have some special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon.

Luckily, my wife is a Chinese. Whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to host is not always needed in my country. So if you invite foreign guests to your home, don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a gift.

C
I was in a shopping mall, so I decided to go and get a cup of coffee. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman poorly dressed sitting near the shop. I knew from the first sight that he needed help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was enjoying it. It was clear that he had a problem with his right eye. I then joined the line and waited to be served.
Then it happened. One of the most beautiful gestures(姿態(tài)) I had ever seen in my life. There was a young man in front of me in the line who was also waiting to be served. The next thing I knew was that the young man handed the waitress(女服務(wù)員) 20 dollars and requested a glass of juice as a favor(善行). The waitress looked at the young man a little perplexed, not fully understanding the request. That was when the young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside, as well as the change(零錢) from the 20 dollars. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe. Then there was a wonderful exchange between the waitress and the old man. I only wished I could take a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.
As I was considering this event later, I wondered why the young man didn’t perform this act of kindness himself. Maybe he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire(激勵) others to do something for this old man as well.

D.He took a picture with the old man to remind others to help him.
（4）From this passage we know .
A.the young man had a problem with his right eye
B.the waitress was too frightened to help the old man
C.the young man disliked to be praised by others in public
D.the writer supported the behavior (行為) of the young man

Trust (信 任) is the basis (基 礎(chǔ)) of any relationship, including friendship. No relationship can be long without trust. But winning trust is not easy as we think. Sometimes, it takes years, even all our life to make it. We surely know who are the people we trust. However, how do we know if others trust us?

【1】You may first like to share them with the friends you trust most. It is the same with your friends.

Whom do you ask for advice when you need it the most? Either your parents or your friends may first come into your mind. You only ask for advice from the people you really trust. You know they will never pass on the wrong advice. And so do they.【2】

Different ideas and discussions are a part of every relationship, and this is also true for friendship. In fact, two people can’t always have the same opinions on a situation and they may share different advice. Sometimes some people find it hard to forgive (原諒) and forget.【3】.It is because they trust you and believe that you will never cause any hurt to them on purpose (故意地).

There are times in life when you find yourself a lonely soldier.【4】Your friends will always be there when you need help. If they are with you when you need them the most, you can know that they trust you.

A.Whom would you like to share your secrets with?

B.But for your true friends, there is no difficulty in it.

C.Their friends will never have different opinions.

D.However, if you have true friends, you will never be alone in any trouble.

The world’s first space travel

Have you ever dreamed of travelling in space like an astronaut? If your answer is “yes”, you will be happy to hear that the world’s first space hotel will welcome customers by 2022.

The space hotel plan was developed by a company in the US. It is named “Aurora Station”. The hotel will host six people at a time, including（包括） two crew members, for a 12-day trip of space travel. It will orbit（繞軌道而行） about 213,800 metres above the Earth and circle our blue planet every 90 minutes.

The station itself will be about 10 meters long and 4.2 metres wide, or about the size of a private jet. Guests in the hotel will be able to experience zero gravity, watch the sun rise 16 times per day, and take part in research experiments. They can also have video chats with their family and friends on the Earth.

Then how much does this amazing travel cost? It will be at an astronomical price--$9.5 million dollars. “We are selling the experience of being an astronaut,” said the company CEO. Potential（潛在的，可能的） guests will need to have a three-month training before going into space.

【1】The world’s first space hotel will open by 2022, won’t it?

【2】How many guests will the space hotel host at a time?

【3】How large will the “Aurora Station” be?

【4】How long will potential guests need to be trained before going into space?

【5】Would you like to travel in space? Why or why not?
