    I have learnt a lot about Chinese life and culture while teaching in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province and found them very interesting．
    First, family life is quite   36  in China． In the USA, many young people   37  home after they finish their education and start working． However, in China, it is   38  for people to live with their parents until they get married．   39 , many of my Chinese friends told me that their  40  lived with them and helped take care of them when they were children． It seems that Americans think independence is more important   41  the Chinese think family relationships are more important．
    Bargaining is another   42  that I have tried to learn． In the USA, prices are   43  and you can’t ask for a lower price． However in some small Chinese stores and tourist places, you are   44  to bargain． My Chinese friends taught me to ask for 40 percent or 50 percent   45  the original price． If the salesperson doesn’t agree to my price, I should   46  to leave and he might let me come back and sell me the item． It is a skill that you have to   47  if you live in China．
    Tipping hasn’t been easier to   48 ． In the USA, many people in the service   49  want to get   50  money for serving customers． Tipping is not a part of Chinese culture．   51  I tried to tip a taxi driver． He looked a little   52  and refused to take the money．
    In dinners, perhaps what surprises an American visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their   53 ． Actually, this is a   54  of true friendship and politeness． My Chinese friend told me if I didn’t want to eat it, I should just   55  the food in the plate．

    Holidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.
    But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.
    For working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some ’ this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.
    The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in sofeguaiding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed.
    While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.
    In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down lo four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.
    We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.
    小题1: The passage is probably written by   .
    A．an experienced teacherB．a working parent
    C．an inspired studentD．a city council member
    小题2:The underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refers to "  ’.
    A．environmentsB．holidaysC．wagesD．benefits
    小题3:It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to.
    A．2 weeksB．4.5 weeksC．5 weeksD．6 weeks
    小题4:The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students_____ .
    A．obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs
    B．get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in school
    C．benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment
    D．have more school days to receive free school meals
    小题5:It can be inferred from the passage that   _______.
    A．working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children
    B．the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out
    C．the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real "down time"
    D．some school staff will say “ No" to the plans for a shorter summer holiday

    For many people – especially those juggling (兼顾) family and work at the same time --- it can be difficult to stick with a college degree. Kathy Bitzthum thought many times about dropping out of her accounting program at Iowa State University: She had two children and a job at Electronic Technology Corp. She’d only enrolled in the first place because her boss would offer her a promotion if she took a few accounting courses.
    Because she only had enough time to take one class at a time, it took her seven years to complete the courses her boss asked her to take on. She received the promotion as her boss promised and wasn’t planning to continue a degree. But a request from her father, who was dying of cancer, made her think twice. He said to her, “Kathy, why don’t you just keep going and get your degree?”
    Before he passed away, he made her promise that she would finish it. And he made her a promise in turn. Vitzthum’s parents had agreed to give each of their children a valuable gift when they graduated from college, and Vitzthum was obsessed with an antique she’d come across and knew that she couldn’t afford. After she promised to graduate from college, her parents bought her the antique. Her father told her, “I’m not going to be around when you graduate, so I’ll give this to you now. But it doesn’t _________ until you graduate from college.”
    Since then, Vitzthum has looked at that antique every day and remembered the promise she had made to her father. Despite a hectic life as a wife, mother and full-time employee, she’s taken one course every semester for the last 19 years. And finally, at the age of 48, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in accounting --- and she was excited to accept full ownership (所有权) of the antique that she’d borrowed for more than a decade.

    ___________________________________________________________________
    小题2:Why did it take Kathy seven years to finish the accounting program?(no more than 10 words)

    A few years ago it was popular to speak of a generation gap, a disagreement between young people and their elders．Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience(服从), while children complained(抱怨)that their parents did not understand them at all．What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time．Many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric(结构)of our society．
    One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life．In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and agree to, and to continue the family occupation(职业)．In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents．
    In our easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do．Often, however, the strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement between them．Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other．
    Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations．In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight．The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities．
    No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature(特点)of American life for some time to come．Its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes．
    小题1:The main idea of the first paragraph is that _______．
    A．the generation gap suddenly appeared
    B．the generation gap is a feature of modern social life
    C．people can reduce the generation gap
    D．many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap
    小题2:The word “around” in Paragraph 1 means _______．
    A．on all sidesB．near
    C．in every direction D．in existence（存在）
    小题3:Which cause of the generation gap is not mentioned in the passage?
    A．Young people like to choose their own life styles．
    B．American society is changing very fast．
    C．Parents place high hopes on their children．
    D．Modern education makes them think differently．
    小题4:In American society, young people often _______．
    A．depend on their parents to make a life
    B．stay with their parents in order to get a chance for higher education
    C．seek the best advice from their parents
    D．have very little in common with their parents
    小题5:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
    A．Parents should be strict with their children．
    B．The younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom．
    C．The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation．
    D．The generation gap does not exist in American society．

    "How should I give my children pocket money?" is one of the most common questions asked by parents. "Should kids receive pocket money when they get high marks at school, or lose pocket money if they don’t help with the housework?" are also common questions.
         Giving pocket money is an excellent way to develop children’s independence. Children should receive pocket money as their small share of the family wealth, and they should share in doing the housework as well.
         Here are some ideas to help you use pocket money to develop your children’s independence.
         Give pocket money regularly. Like adults, children should have a payday every week or two.
         Link pocket money with ages and needs. Provide spending guidelines; don’t be afraid to let them know what you expect them to buy, and what not to. A child in preschool and lower primary school is sure to spend money on candies and other such things. But older children can be expected to buy their own lunches or bus tickets.
         Teach kids to set their goals. Encouraging children to save money for big things like bikes can help them learn about planning ahead.
         When given wisely, pocket money is an excellent way to develop children’s independence. But at some time, perhaps when a child turns fifteen, it needs to be reduced or eliminated in order to encourage the child to get a part-time job and begin to earn his own pocket money.
    小题1:What is the author’s attitude towards giving children pocket money?
    A．Positive.B．Indifferent(中立的).C．Negative.D．Worried.
    小题2:According to the author, giving pocket money to children ______.
    A．is an excellent way to encourage them to study hard
    		B．makes them learn to be more independent
    		C．makes their parents worry less about them
    		D．is a good way to make them do a lot of housework
    小题3:When giving pocket money to children, parents should ______.
    A．give them lots of money so that they can share the family wealth
    		B．give it to them at regular times
    		C．give every child the same amount
    		D．let them spend it as they please
    小题4:What do we learn from the passage?
        
    A．Only children who help do the housework should get pocket money.
    		B．Parents usually give more money to younger children.
    		C．Parents should let children spend money on their own when they have money
    		D．Children should find part-time jobs when they get old enough.

    Most recently, it's very common in students who need a parent present for job interviews. Naturally, it's easy to blame the students in these situations, but the bigger problem is us. We—as parents—are so eager to shelter our kids that we fail to realize that this in itself is harming them. As the mother of two young sons, I have to remind myself constantly that the biggest responsibility I have as a parent is to help them develop the skills needed to live in, to live without me. So, I'll let them fail．
    I'll let them fail because as long as they are safe and warm inside their comfort zones, they will never grow. And failure along with loss, heartbreak, disappointment, etc.—will be part of growth for them. Call me the anti-tiger mom, but leaving them alone is, my way of helping them become equipped to fit in this world as we know it today. From terrorism and seemingly endless natural disasters, to our national debt and beyond, if we expect the next generation to stand up to the very real problems of our time, we need to stop feeding them and start teaching them how to fish.
    My children now are becoming little masters of compromise, but they try to negotiate everything now. It's a small price to help them learn a skill they'll use for the rest of their lives, including when I don't accompany them on job interviews.
    小题1:Why do parents accompany their kids on job interviews?
    A．Because they want to protect their kids from difficulties．
    B．Because they think they can help them on the questions．
    C．Because their kids are too shy to attend interviews．
    D．Because their kids strongly request them to do so．
    小题2:According to the author, what is beneficial to kids' development?
    A．Sheltering them．B．Keeping them safe．
    C．Leaving them alone．D．Blaming them．
    小题3:Why does the author stress failure in kids' life?
    A．To make them stronger than other kids．
    B．To help them grow in this tough world．
    C．To help them develop all social skills．
    D．To make them learn to compromise．
    小题4:Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
    A．Never Shelter Your Kids
    B．Let Your Kids Fail
    C．Be Eager to Grow Up
    D．Live Without Parents

    Friends play an important role in our lives, and although we can’t be more familiar with the fact of friendship, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends, especially with Americans. Here are some pieces of advice on making friends with Americans:
    　　1. Visiting places Americans enjoy: parties, churches, restaurants, parks and sports clubs.
    　　2. Be willing to take the first step. Don’t wait for them to get close to you. Americans in China may not know you speak English. They may be uncomfortable if they can’t speak your language.
    　3. Use small talks to open the conversation. Ask them where they’re from, why they come to China, etc. . Remember: Be careful not to ask personal questions about age, salary and so on.
    　　4. Show an interest in their culture, their country or their job. Americans like to talk about themselves!
    　　5. Invite them to join you for dinner or just for coffee or tea. Try to set a specific(明确的)time. Americans sometimes make general invitations like “Let’s go out for dinner sometime. ”Often this is just a way to be friendly. It is not always a real invitation.
    　　6. Don’t expect too much at first. Maybe they’re being friendly. But maybe they want to be your good friends. It will take time to tell.
    小题1:According to the text, Americans like to visit the following places except＿＿＿＿.
    A．shopping centersB．parks

    Americans love dogs, all types of dogs: small dogs, big dogs, lapdogs (供玩赏的小狗). Each year, people spend billions of dollars on their four-legged pals, making sure the lovable dogs have enough food to eat and lots of toys to play with.
    Dogs love people, too. They lick their faces, protect their homes. Where did these four-legged companions come from? Some scientists believe that they have found the answer.
    Scientists have long known that dogs evolved from（演化） wolves. Exactly when the transformation from wolf to dog actually took place, however, remains a mystery.
    Some said dogs evolved as a separate species 135,000 years ago in two parts of the world. One group of dogs developed in Europe and Asia from Asian wolves. The other group evolved in North, Central, and South America from American wolves.
    Now researchers say those theories are wrong. New studies suggest that domesticated dogs first appeared 15,000 years ago in eastern Asia. Scientists also say that every modern dog descended from approximately five female Asian wolves, the mother of all modern dogs.
    Scientists suspect dogs first set paws in North America by following settlers across a land bridge that once linked northern Asia and North America.
    小题1:According to recent studies, all modern dogs came from female wolves in ______.
    A．AsiaB．Africa
    C．EuropeD．South America
    小题2:From this story, we can conclude that _______.
    A．dogs are scientists’ best friends
    B．dogs are more like wolves than they are like any other animal
    C．most dogs are from Africa
    D．scientists have no idea how dogs evolved
    小题3:The underlined word “domesticated” means “_______”.
    A．tamedB．indoorC．intelligentD．friendly
    小题4:The best title for this story might be ______.
    A．Why Cats Don’t Like Dogs
    B．Barking up the Wrong Tree
    C．Love Me, Love My Dog
    D．Going from Wolf to Dog

    Today most Chinese teenagers are happy to be favored by two parents and four grandparents in their families. But have you ever thought about how to take care of four to twelve old people when you grow up and get married? This could be a problem for most Chinese youths as China is entering a new stage of an aging society.
    An aging society refers to one where 10 percent or more of its population is over 60. By the end of 2007, Chinese over 60 years old have made up 11.7 percent of the nation’s total population. “China is getting old before becoming rich,”said Cai Chuang, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The population increase that has powered Chinese growth for three decades will give way over the next ten years to a rapid aging of the society. This will lead to weaker economic growth, because of a lack of labor resources.
    As a result of the family planning policy, it is expected that the country’s total working population will decrease after 2015.
    China is not the only country getting old. More that 60 countries have become aging societies and one in three people in the European Union is a senior citizen.
    However, experts said that China doesn't have a highly developed social security network to support the old. Social security is an insurance program protecting those in need, including the old, the disabled and others.
    小题1:An aging society is a society that _________.       
    A．less that 10% of its population is over 60
    B．10% or more of its population is over 60
    C．there are four old people in a family
    D．most of its population is over 60
    小题2:If China enters an aging society, __________.     
    A．there will not be enough labor resources
    B．the family planning policy will be ended
    C．everyone needs to take care of four to twelve old people
    D．China will have a highly developed social security network
    小题3:What does Cai Chuang mean by saying“China is getting old before becoming rich.”?
    A．China will be an aging society, then be a developed country.
    B．China will be a rich country before being an aging society.
    C．An aging society will affect Chinese economy development.
    D．China will stop developing because of its aging problem.
    小题4:The passage mainly talks about         .
    A．an aging societyB．Chinese social problem
    C．family panning policyD．aging problem in China
