My husband and I used to live in the city.But we often faced a lot of problems there.There was a lot of late?night noise.It was difficult to find parking.And the rent of the apartment was high.Finally，my husband and I decided to move to the suburb outside Boston.
We started looking for our new home.It turned out that many other people were also moving to the suburbs and it wasn’t easy to find a nice house there.Finally we went to see a small and dark house.It needed a lot of work.But it was well built and it was on a street where we could walk to Starbucks，restaurants and bus stops.Well，before I knew it，we had made an offer and the house became ours.
On our first night in the house I cried for five hours.I thought we had made the wrong decision and I wanted to go back to the city—the house was smelly and old.And many families and old people lived around it.But after thinking of the problems we had when we were living in the city，I calmed down.Besides，our new home wasn’t that bad，after all.I had a driveway of my own.There were three big bedrooms and a backyard for my dog.Oh，how lovely the sound of nothing was.I changed the house inch by inch and it became a very comfortable home.
We have been in our house for over two years until now and it’s the best move we have ever made.While I’m glad I can drive into the city in fifteen minutes and enjoy all it has offered，I’m always happy to return home.

The repairman told me, “No charge, Professor Pan!” We’re friends.
“I’d rather pay,’’ I replied. “If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”
Chinese often refuse payment for professional services .insisting, “We’re friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English，or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!
According to the Americans, “There is no free lunch.”, means that there’s a price for everything. And I’m always looking around to figure out what this means. Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. “Wait until you have something major to fix!” he insists.
I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind (磨) flour for bread. A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he and his uncle in the countryside had carved from a solid block of stone.
Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money. But cash can’t compensate (补偿) for the greatest gift—friendship.
When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping (呷) tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I said, “they are professors, with plenty to do. But probably you are right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I!”
And I joined the group. When chatting about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived, one man said, “They were pocket-sized when you came here. Now they’re taller than you. How time flies !.”
How life flies. And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep. They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive. So the next time someone says, “No charge. We’re friends!” I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.
1.Why did the author insist paying the repairman while he was offered free repairs?
A. Because he was an upright man.
B. Because he didn’t know the repair man
C. Because he thought it natural to pay for other’s service.
D. Because he didn’t want to help others in return.
2.Generally, the author thinks that .
A. Chinese are generous always ready to help their friends
B. Chinese are good at exchange of equal values
C. Chinese are free enough to drink and chat with their friends
D. Chinese are helpful but don’t treasure time
3.The best title for the passage should be “ ”
A. Still No Free lunch
B. A Good Lesson From Chinese
C. True Help or Not
D. Learn to Both Give And Receive
4.Which of the following is TRUE?
A. All the Chinese that once gave the author help have asked him to tutor them in English
B. When a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himself
C. The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited life
