题目列表(包括答案和解析)

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’s no free lunch," meaning 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’d had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite(花岗石).

Chinese generosity(慷慨)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’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do.And neither do I!" And I joined the group.We chatted 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 of 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.

64.The author insisted on paying repairman while he was offered free repairs because he     .

A.was an honest man

B.didn’t know the repairman

C.thought it natural to pay for others’ service

D.didn’t want to help others in return

65.Generally, the author thinks that Chinese are _________.

A.generous and always ready to help their friends

B.good at exchange of equal values

C.free enough to drink tea and chat with their friends

D.helpful but don’t treasure time

66.The best title of the passage should be “       ”.

A.Learn to Both Give And Receive    B.A Good Lesson from Chinese

C.True Help or Not                   D.Still No Free Lunch

67.Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The Chinese would rather not take the money to avoid problems in social communication.

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.

  My mom taught me to read Chinese at a very young age.My parents and neighbours tell me that I was three when I started to read newspapers and books.Anyway, I do remember people called me“shen tong”,which means“gifted child”.So my dad decided that I should go to elementary school early.

  In China you are supposed to enter the first grade if you are six by June 30th of the school year.I was born in the latter half of the year, so I wasn't supposed to enter elementary school until I was almost seven.However, I was still sent to school.As a result, my classmates were older than me.But I did pretty well in class, and stood out in math and language tests.

  I remember that none of the girls wanted to play with me for some reason and my best friends were boys.Maybe it is because my maturity level was the same as boys' since it's generally accepted that boys are 1 to 2 years less mature(成熟)than girls.I liked bugs, dirt and I liked running around.I finished the 4th grade in China, and all the friends I remember are boys.

  After the 4th grade, I moved to America, and I didn't know any English.At first I was put into the fifth grade class.Since I didn't understand anything, it was pretty tough.So my mom decided that I should still stay in the fourth grade class.This turned out to be a good choice.After a year or so I was able to catch up in English and I was really glad to be with kids the same age as me.I have pretty fond memories of secondary school in America because for the most part I was normal, and I had plenty of friends.
