　　You have asked me for suggestions(建议)on how to get along in the US. It is 1 to give advice, but I think the following“dos”and“don'ts”are helpful.

　　As a 2 , it isn't easy to find anyone to 3 in a big city. However, here are some suggestions. First, get or borrow a 4 . Walk him several times a day. Americans love dogs and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog. 5 try to eat in a cafeteria(自助餐馆). People usually share tables and will sometimes talk to you 6 they see that you are a stranger. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry(干洗店). It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people 7 there. They often kill the 8 talking to the others. 9 ask for information from a woman, if you are a 10 and from a man, if you are a woman. It seems to get 11 results for a reason I can't understand. Learn the 12 “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 shouldn't 13 . Don't tell the truth when people 14 “How are you?”. They only 15 the answer to be“Fine”. Never ask people their age, especially women! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are 16 . Tell them they are losing weight(减肥). Everyone wants to be 17 . Don't be late for appointments(约会). When someone says six o'clock, be sure to be there by six. 18 respect(尊重) 19 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 20 to you.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　With a good shopping position and the right amount(数量)of money，any educated person ought to make a living out of a bookshop．It is not a difficult trade to learn and the large chain-stores can never force the small bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner shop．But the hours of work are very long-I was only doing a part-time job，but my boss put in a seventy-hour week，besides regular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books．

　　The real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life，however，is that while I was in it I lost my love of books．A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books，and that gives him a dislike for them．There was a time when l really did love books-loved the sight and smell and feel of them-if they were fifty or more years old，that is．Nothing pleased me quite so much as to buy a bargain lot of them on sale for several pounds．There is a peculiar flavour(独特的味道)about the unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection：little-known eighteenth-century poets，or out-of-date geography books．For occasional(偶尔的)reading-in your bath，for example，or late at night when you are too tired to go to bed-there is nothing as good as a very old picture story-book．

　　But as soon as l went to work in the bookshop l stopped buying books．

　　Seen in a mass，five or ten thousand at a time，books were dull and even a little tiresome．Nowadays I do buy one occasionally，but only if it is a book that I want to read and can't borrow．and I never buy rubbish．

1．According to the passage，________is one of the necessary conditions to run a bookshop．

[　　]

A．an educated shop-owner

B．a good position at a street corner

C．a regular journey out of the shop

D．the force of large chain-stores

2．The author should not like to be back as a bookseller for life because________．

[　　]

A．he hated his job of selling books

B．selling books was only a part-time job

C．the books in the shop gave him a dislike

D．he was unable to be honest about the books he sold

3．The books preferred by the author should be those________．

[　　]

A．stories making readers sleepless

B．valuable ones bought on sale

C．peculiar ones with great expectation

D．geography ones from the eighteenth century

4．The author will only buy new books________．

[　　]

A．if he feels dull and tired

B．after he gives up his job as a bookseller

C．which are interesting but hard to borrow

D．when he throws away old ones
