14.Many years ago,when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,I was driving to my parents'home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station about 50miles from Oklahoma City,where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend's.We chatted on the way into the city,and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me.Soon afterward,I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holiday meaningful.
Years later,I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day,and the battery was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership---a shop selling cars---was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the show room.
"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?"I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment,so when I got home,I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you,and it meant a lot,he said.
"Thank you"---two powerful words.They're easy to say and mean so much.

4.Learning the language of a country isn't enough.If you want to ensure a pleasant visit,find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts.
Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.If you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia,some friends ask you to eat with them.What kind of manners do they want you to have?They want you to give a loud"burp"(打嗝) after you finish eating.Burping would show that you liked your food.But in some other countries,if you give a loud burp,you are told to say"Excuse me,please."
In many places,people like to eat together.But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating together.People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.
You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own.A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table.The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself.Also in India,you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree.But in most parts of India,a shake of the head is a gesture that expresses agreement or acceptance.Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country Bulgaria,you shake your head to mean"yes"-a nod means"no".
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone,even at an important meeting.Doing this when you are meeting an important person in Thailand,however,could cause offence.It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion.Also try to avoid touching the head of an adult-it's just not done in Thailand.
Attitudes to women vary much around the world.In Japan,for example,it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home.
Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are traveling,but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality(礼节).

A.surprised             B.sorry            C.happy               D.upset

A.Thailand          B.Mongolia        C.Japan            D.Bulgaria
54.The underlined sentence"Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty."MeansA.
A.you are probably not to be served a drink when you nod your head
B.you're possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your head
C.it's probable that you are thirsty if you nod your head

19.Treetops,the hotel in the trees,are famous in the world.Peop1e know little about Kenya,but they know of Treetops.When King George VI died,Princess Elizabeth was staying on the Treetops,and when she came down from there,"She succeeded him as the queen of the country".
The hotel is in the middle of the forest,and it shows the pleasure of Africa.When you visit it,you will be sent into the heart of the forest by hotel buses,and then a guide,with a gun to protect you against big game,will go with you to the Treetops.Before and after dinner,for the whole night if you wish,you can sit on the corridor(走廊),watching animals come to the water pool.The earliest hotel Treetops was built round a large tree on the opposite side of the water,but that was destroyed by fire and the new hotel Treetops,which is built round several trees,is much bigger.
The dining room at Treetops is small,and the waiters cannot walk round to serve guests,so a clever"railway service"has been invented.Guests take their food as it passes slowly in front of them,along a line in the center of the table.
There are many animals around the Treetops.When you visit them,you can see:
---Animals and their babies are waiting to greet the guests.
---Animals,enjoying the Treetops pool in the daylight.
---A long bodied,long ring tailed very active cat-like animal is a special one coming out at night.He hunts and eats anything he can catch and is very destructive.He lives in the trees at Treetops.He comes for his food every evening.Do not get too near to him,as his teeth and claws(爪)can do you harm.These animals can be trained and become lovely pets.
64.The underlined word"succeeded"in Paragraph 1probably means"C".
A.did what she was trying to do                 
B.gained her purpose
C.replaced someone in an important position           
D.completed an easy task
65.According to the third paragraph,"railway service"actually refers toD.
A.the service provided at the railway station

3.Derek Wayne has obtained a 30-year,fixed-rate home loan of  100,000with an annual interest rate of 7.5percent.Because the loan extends for such a lengthy period,the mortgage(抵押) company calculates a monthly payment that ensures it will get most of its interest back first.Thus in the beginning months,Wayne's principal payment-the amount he pays toward his actual loan-increases extremely slowly.
Payment NumberTotal Monthly
Payment
Principal Portion of PaymentInterest Portion of PaymentCurrent Balance
1699.21 74.21 625.0099,925.79
2699.2174.68624.5499,854.11
359699.21690.568.66694.87
360699.21694.874.340.00
Let's analyze Wayne's early payments.Imagine that on December 15the Mauritanian Mortgage Corporation gives Wayne 100,000,and on January 15his initial payment is due.Throughout this first month,interest accumulates on the entire  100,000.On a yearly interest rate of 7.5%,Wayne's monthly rate is 0.625% or 7.5%divided by 12.Multiplying 100,000by 0.625% yields 625,the portion of Wayne's first monthly payment that is interest.So Wayne now owes  99,925.79 ( 100,625-699.21).His February interest payment will be 0.625% of  99,925.79.
By the time Wayne makes his last few payments,his monthly interest payment has decreased considerably.His balance following his 359th payment is  694.87,and 0.625% of that is about  4.34,his final interest payment.What was the total amount of interest Wayne paid?Multiplying 360months by 699.21equals  251,715.60,and subtracting 100,000(the loan amount) leaves 151,715.60-over 1.5times what he actually borrowed!
46.This passage is mainly concerned withC.
A.Derek Wayne
B.the Mauritanian Mortgage Corporation
C.how interest payments on a loan change
D.calculating the number of payments Wayne made
47.The monthly interest rate on Wayne's loan wasC.
A.7.5%  B.6.5%  C.0.625%  D.625
48.We can conclude that Wayne's total monthly paymentwasalwaysA.
A.699.21B.100,000C.360            D.$151,715.60
49.The table in the passage helps the readers seeB.
A.Wayne's down payment before he took out the loan
B.Wayne's first and last payments
C.how much his interest payments increased
D.at what point the interest and principal payments were just about equal.
