1.Most people agree that the direct American personality is a virtue,but it sometimes surprises foreigners.In many cultures,respect for older people or those in positions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings.But in the U.S,children often argue with their parents,students may disagree with their teachers,and citizens may express opposition to the actions of the government.If the soup has a fly in it or the meat is too tough to chew,the diner can complain to the waiter,if the boss makes a mistake,an employee will politely point it out.
Some straight talk about the American character must include the admission that Americans have their faults.The extremely competitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault.Of course,competition isn't always bad.As a matter of fact,it promotes excellence by encouraging individuals and businesses to try to do their best.But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkind and even dishonest.Also,Americans admire what is practical,fast,efficient,and fresh.Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices that have greater respect for more traditional,leisurely ways of doing things.On the other hand,people from other cultures may dislike the practical,challenging American lifestyle.
Despite culture differences,most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues.Americans are generally viewed as friendly,adaptable,energetic,and kindhearted.Most newcomers to the U.S.like Americans,and the feeling is usually mutual(相互的).Perhaps the greatest American virtue is a deep interest in new ideas and new people.In a nation of immigrants,the foreigner does not remain an outsider for long.

71.What American virtues can we learn from the passage?(List three within 10words)
(1)friendly(2)adaptable(3)energetic
72.For what purpose does the writer give us some examples in the first Paragraph?(Please answer within 10words)
To show the direct American personality.
73.What does the writer mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?(Please answer within 10words)
Americans have their faults./The extremely competitive nature of Americans is their worst fault.
74.What does the underlined part mean?Please explain in English. (Please answer within 10words).
Praise Americans/appreciate Americans
75.Do you appreciate the direct American personality?Why?(the reasons should be answered within 20words.)
Yes.Because they dare to express their true feelings and their own opinion..

     (答出其中三种即可,不根据原文回答者不得分)

72.To show the direct American personality.细节题. 根据文章第一 段Most people agree that the direct American personality is a virtue,but it sometimes surprises foreigners 可知作者举例的目的是为了证明美国人的美德是直接,孩子可以和老师公开讨论.

75.(open) Yes.Because they dare to express their true feelings and their own opinion.No.Because they may hurt or annoy/offend someone.细节题. 根据文章第二 段But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkind and even dishonest. 可知有时他们为了超越其他人会做一些不好或者不诚实的事情.

[2]Yogurt.Yogurt,a milk product,contains probiotics(益生菌).These probiotics change the immune system and help reduce the severity of colds.Choose the yogurt that contains live and active probiotics to make sure you're getting the benefits of the yogurt.
[3]Green tea.A cup of green tea can help cure a sore throat and lift spirits.Green tea can help prevent damage in the body.It may also fight against colds.
[4]Garlic(大蒜).Garlic has received widespread attention for its possibility of disease-prevention and immune-improving functions.In a study,researchers found that people who       regularly were two-thirds less likely to catch a cold.The best way to get garlic's benefits is eating it without cooking.

[6]Oysters(牡蛎).Oysters are definitely not the first thing that comes to mind when a cold or other illness attacks you,but they are a great source of zinc (Zn).Zinc is important in the development of white blood cells.It's best to get zinc from a balanced diet.In a addition to oysters,beef and chicken are good sources.

[5]Three years  ago,in  an  interview  at Toronto's  International  Festival  of Authors,Munro said she had battled cancer,but did n ot provide specifics.In June,she told the National Post she was"probably not going to write anymore."Asked on Thursday whether she would reconsider that statement,Munro said ______,"because I am getting rather old."

6.[1]How often does your child automatically pick up a book,a magazine,a newspaper,or other printed materials simply for the pleasure of reading?Experts have begun to realize that a young person's interest in independent reading seems to be important to long-term success.However,not all children will naturally love reading.That's where you as a parent      .
[2]First,understand that independent reading is not guided or shared reading.You may be present in the room with your son or daughter,but you will not be engaged in reading the book for your child.Instead,the child should pick up a book on his or her own,whether or not he or she can read all the words.
[3]Not only does this kind of independent reading increase a child's imagination,focus,comprehension and vocabulary,but it also allows him or her to build interest in a subject.For example,if he or she finds the Roman Empire fascinating,independently reading about that time period could broaden his or her understanding of society.
[4]One of the best ways to raise a youngster's interest in independent reading is to become an independent reader yourself.Turn off the TV and open the newspaper.Take time at the end of the day as a family to enjoy some free reading moments.The more you do it yourself,the more likely your child will be to accept it as a proper,regular thing to do.You can also begin building your child's personal"library".That way,he or she will have many choices of books to peruse during independent reading.
[5]Remember that reading achievement is linked to a love of independent reading.So the next time your child picks up a book,allow him or her to have some private moments.You'll never regret your decision to embrace independent reading.

76.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 1with proper words.( no more than 6words)
should do your part
77.What are the benefits of independent reading?( no more than 20words)
It increases a child's imagination,focus,comprehension and vocabulary,and allows the child to build interest in a subject.
78.What do the underlined words"that time period"in Paragraph 3probably refer to?( no more than 6words)
Time of the Roman Empire.
79.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?(no more than 10words)
Ways to increase children's interest in independent reading.
80.What should a parent do when his/her child picks up a book on his/her own?(no more than 15words)
Allow the child to have some private moments and read alone..
