Dear Jose,

You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States. It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following "dos" and "Don'ts" helpful.

As a 1, it isn't easy to find anyone to 2 in a big city. However, here are some suggestions. 3 get or borrow 4! Walk him several times a day! Americans love dogs and usually stop 5 to anyone with a dog. 6, try to eat in a cafeteria (食堂). People generally 7 the same tables and will sometimes talk to you 8 they see that you are a 9. Next, take your dirty 10 to a laundry (洗衣店)! It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people 11 there. They often pass the 12 talking to the other customers. 13 ask for information from a woman, if you are a 14; and from a man, if you are a woman! It seems to get 15 results for a reason I can't understand. Learn the 16 "Please", "Thank you", and "You're welcome" before you come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic (魔术).

There are some things you 17. Don't tell the truth when people 18 "How are you?" They only 19 the answer to be "Fine". Never ask people their 20 ——especially women! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are 21. Tell them they are losing 22. Everyone here wants to be 23. Don't be late for appointment (约会)! When someone says six o'clock, 24 be there by six. Americans respect 25 and expect everyone to be "on time".

Above all, don't worry! Just follow my advice and bring a lot of money and you will get along, I hope I have been of some help to you.Cordially yours,Socrates

完形填空 :通读下面的短文, 掌握其大意, 然后在1—25各题所给的四个选项中, 选出　　 一个最佳答案。　　

　　 　　When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or　　 for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For　　 I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story　　 than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember　　 the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For　　 instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the　　 story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and　　 cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in　　 the speech of a 13 character.

　　 　　 　　 　　

　　 Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and　　 so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (费心)　　 about the language. But the case is quite different with a 17 of　　 English. I mean a student of English is different from a student of　　 stories or 18 is called the general reader.

　　 　　 　　 　　

　　 As you may also have 19 from the above, you ought to read very 20.　　 Not only very carefully but also aloud, and that again and again 21　　 you know the passage by heart and can 22 it as if it were your own.　　 Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases;　　 negatively (负面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in　　 expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent　　 copying is a help to 25 by heart.
