Harry came in a minute after James. There was a letter for him, too, which he opened at once. It was from the secretary (秘書(shū)) of a company, offering him a post (職位) in their office. He was told to be there at 10 a. m. the next morning, as there were others who wanted the job.

James got back from the play at midnight. He was sleepy. “That letter can be opened in the morning,” he thought. The next morning when he woke up, he at once jumped out of bed, tore(撕)it open-his face fell. It was a similar letter to the one Harry had received the night before. But James’ chance was gone.

In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.

At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water (自來(lái)水) before you order. You may find bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill（續(xù)杯）.

Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.

Serving (一份) in restaurants is often large, too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself.

Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.

Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.

1.Which of the following statements is true?

A. American people like sitting with people they don’t know.

B. You may find bread and coffee is free.

C. American people never sit with people they don’t know.

D. American people won’t light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.

2.What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?

A. They take the food home with a “doggie bag” for their dogs.

B. They leave the food on the table and go away.

C. They take the food home with a “doggie bag” and enjoy the food later.

D. They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for them.

3.What can you learn about “tips” according to the passage?

A. Customers often add tips to their check.  

B. Tips are supposed to be left on the table when customers leave.

C. People don’t need to pay tips.     

D. The price of the meal usually includes the tip.

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. So, I really doubted whether there was any love between my parents. Every day they were working hard to pay for my high school. They didn’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books and saw on TV, and they certainly didn’t send flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day (情人節(jié)).

    One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (被子). I asked her if there was any love between her and my dad. She stopped and raised her head in surprise. Then she went on with her work without saying anything. I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her feelings. But after a few minutes she said, “Look at this thread (線). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time it disappears in the quilt. If life is a quilt, then love is the thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or at any time, but it’s really there, and makes the quilt long-lasting.” I listened carefully but I didn’t understand her until the next spring.

    My mother suddenly got seriously ill and had to stay in hospital for about a month. Every morning and evening after she returned from the hospital, my father helped her walk slowly along our country road. There were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees, and the sun gently shone through the leaves. All of this made the most beautiful picture in the world. Reading their eyes, I knew they love each other deeply. From this experience, I realized that love is just a thread in the quilt of our lives. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

1.What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph suggest?

A. There is beautiful scenery where the writer lived.

B. There is true love anywhere in the world.

C. There is no love without beautiful flowers.

D. There is true love between the writer’s parents.

2.Why didn’t the writer’s mother answer his question immediately?

A. Because her husband didn’t love her.   

B. Because she was thinking of a better answer.

C. Because she didn’t love her husband.   

D. Because the writer had hurt her feelings.

3.What is the best title of this passage?

A. Love Is Everywhere                               B. Love Is Always Romantic

C. Love: Thread in Quilt                              D. Love Can Last Forever

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending（延伸）deeply into both families.

There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides to our friends: It is opposite in America, Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.

For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality（好客）at home and enjoy your visit in America!

1.The underlined phrase “pick up” in Paragraph 1 may mean “_______”.

A. keep out            B. give up        C. pay no attention to        D. continue

2.Which of the following is the typical way of American hospitality?        

 A. Treating friends at home.                  

B. Taking days off to be with friends.

3.Which of the following statements in True according to the passage? 

A. Americans are always generous with their time.

B. Americans don’t feel hurt if their friendships disappear soon.

C. Chinese friendships develop more slowly but will never disappear.

D. Chinese friendships are more sincere than American friendships.

4.This passage is most probably written for          .
