Who are these people rushing by you on the street? More than 250 million people now call Amer??ica" home" , but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you, look at the names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States，have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become "Americans"is really not true.

However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas ’ dress, food, and social customs in America.

C
A white-haired old gentleman steps out of his car, bag in hand and coat over his arm, he has called from the office to say that he is on the way. His wife is preparing supper. He can see the light shining inside his own front door. He looks forward to a fire and hot milk. It is a cold night. A few seconds later he is lying on the icy ground in a pool of his own blood.
It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen in the capital city of the United States. It is more likely to happen in the near-deserted city center at night. What happened to him could happen to any of us.
Senator Stennis, who is 71 , got out of his white Buick at 7:40 p.m. outside his home at 3609 Cumberland Street. Two youths said, "Get out! Money, please." He followed the order. He handed over his wallet containing several cards, a gold watch and the only money he had in his pockets—twenty-five cents. The youths also said, "Now we're going to shoot you anyway." Anyway they did. One bullet(子弹) hit him in the leg and struck the bone. The other entered his chest just below the upper pocket of his suit. It narrowly missed his heart.
Strangely he made it across a ten-meter distance, up eight steps and along twenty more feet of stone path. His wife met him at the door, and saw two men running. The senator told her to call the police and the doctor.
The senator is a powerful political figure, but it is unlikely that the two young men knew who he was. More likely the reason for the killing was that he had only no more than a quarter of dollar - not enough for two cups of coffee.
49 According to the passage,_______.
A. such a mugging(行凶抢劫) might have happened to anyone
B. the mugging happened on a cold evening in a senator's home

50. Having robbed the senator, the two young men _______.
A. pulled him into a pool B. shot two bullets into his body

51. The two young men were angry by the fact that _______.
A. the senator attempted to cheat them
B. they failed to get the senator's expensive car
C. the senator didn't die in their hands
D. the mugging didn't bring them what they had expected
52 Which of the following statements is not true?
A. A near-deserted city center at night is a dangerous place.
B. People should always carry some money with them.
C. Though seriously wounded, the senator managed to get home on his own.

When
you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your
mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”
This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs (细菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.
If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the
door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other
person to pass through first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by
pushing, hold the door after you pass through.
After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go along way toward helping students realize hot to be polite and thank others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.
When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will
give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the
moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a
doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.
After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people made efforts to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter.
1.When you cough or sneeze, you should ________.
A. touch everything B. cover your mouth
C. point out to the kids D. pass the germs to others
2.If you come to a door and someone is following you, you’d better _______.
A. hold the door B. pass through C. close the door D. stand to the side
3.From the passage we ca know the writer is a ________.
A. doctor B. traveler C. parent D. teacher
4.A. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the rules of behavior in public B. the easy of communication
C. the acts of kindness among people D. the knowledge of social life
