Passage 2

A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands （任务）. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.

Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.

You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else ―wasting it beyond a certain courtesy point.

The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what migh t be called ―a short fuse. We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life. Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.

1. Which of the following statements is wrong? __________

A. Americans seem to be always under pressure.

B. Americans attach less importance to patience.

C. Americans don’t care much about ritual socializing.

D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.

2. In the fourth paragraph, ―a high priority means __________.

A. a less important thing

B. a first concern

C. a good business

D. an attractive gift

3. Americans evaluate a business colleague __________.

A. through social courtesy

B. through prolonged business talks

C. by establishing business relations

D. by learning about their past performance

4. This passage mainly talks about __________.

A. how Americans treasure their time

B. how busy Americans are every day

C. how Americans do business with foreigners

D. what American way of life is like

5. We can infer from the passage that the author’s tone in writing is ___________.

A. critical

B. ironical

C. appreciative

D. objective

Passage 3

Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to ensure proper respect for the flag. Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand.

A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badgers of the US. When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn’t serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony.

Passage 4

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London

without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.

Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.

Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.

1. Which of the following statements is NOT true? ____

A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.

B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country.

C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.

D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.

2. With the same money ____, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.

A. getting a small flat with a garden

B. having a small flat with a garden

C. renting a small flat without a garden

D. buying a small flat without a garden

3. When the garden is in blossom, it means that one ____ has been rewarded.

A. living in the country

B. having spent time working in the garden

C. having a garden of his own

D. having been digging, planting and watering

4. Which of the following statements is true? ____

A. Those who prefer to live in London would feel their life was meaninglful.

B. Those who prefer to live outside London would feel their life was boring.

C. Those who prefer to live in London believe their life was worthy living.

D. Those who prefer to live outside London believe their life was valuable.

Passage 5

Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.

How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1990 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.

Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of year. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.

Passage 7

The origin of language is a mystery. All we know is that men, unlike animals, invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.

The power of words lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or

they will make our speech silly and vulgar.

1. The origin of language is ____.

A. a legend handed down from the past

B. They are simply sounds.

C. They can not be written down.

A. properties

B. characteristics

C. peculiarity

D. representative function

4. By“association”in the last paragraph, the author means ____.

A. a special quality

B. a joining of ideas in the mind

C. an appearance which is puzzling

D. a strange feature

5. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?

A. He is no more than a master of words.

B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.

C. He can move men to tears.

D. His style is always charming.

Passage 8

Once James Thornhill, a famous English painter, was asked to paint some pictures on the walls of the king’s palace in England. Then workers were sent for and a big platform (台子)was made. With the help of a worker, Thornhill started painting on the platform. They worked for a whole year and at last the pictures were ready.

Thornhill was happy when he looked at the pictures, for they were really beautiful. He looked at them for a long time, and then took one step back and looked again. Now the pictures were even more beautiful. He took another step, then another. Finally he was at the very edge of the platform, but he didn’t know it because he was thinking of his pictures.

The worker saw everything. ‘What should I do?’he thought. ‘Thornhill was at the very edge of the platform. If I cry out, he will take another step, fall off it and surely be killed.’So the worker quickly took some paint (漆)and threw it at the pictures.

Passage 9

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents.Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me.They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV.In their opinion, “I love you” is t oo luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question. One day, I asked my mother if there is love between her and and my Dad when she was sewing. My mother stopped her work and didn’t answer imme diately.I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her.

“Susan,” she said , “Look at this thread.Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt.The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable.If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there.Love is inside.”

I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring.At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously.My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale.It seemed both of them had had a serious illness.

After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road.My father had never been so gentle.It seemed they were the most harmonious couple.

The doctor had said my father would recover in two months.But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself.All of us were worried about him.

“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.

“Susan, don’t worry about me.” he said gently.“To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply.

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses.But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

有时候我真的很怀疑父母之间是否有爱。每天他们都忙着挣钱来支付我和弟弟的高额学费。他们的行为不像我在书中读到的那样浪漫，也不像我在电视上看到的那样浪漫。在他们看来，“我爱你”对他们来说太奢侈了。在情人节互相送花更是不可能。

有一天，我问我妈妈在缝纫时，她和我爸爸之间是否有爱。

我妈妈停止了她的工作，没有立即回答。我很担心，因为我认为我伤害了她。

“苏珊，”她说，“看看这条线。有时它会出现，但大部分会消失在被子里。这条线真的让被子结实耐用。如果生活是被子，那么爱就应该是一条线。无论何时何地都看不到它，但它确实存在。爱就在里面。”

我仔细地听着，但直到第二年春天我才听懂她的话。那时，我父亲突然病得很重。我母亲不得不在医院陪他住一个月。当

他们从医院回来时，两人都面色苍白。他们似乎都得了重病。

他们回来后，每天早晚，妈妈都帮爸爸在乡间小路上慢慢走，爸爸从来没有这么温柔过，似乎他们是最和谐的一对。

医生说我父亲两个月后就会康复，但两个月后他还是不能自己走路，我们都很担心他。

“爸爸，你现在感觉怎么样？“有一天我问他。

“苏珊，别担心我，”他温和地说，“说实话，我喜欢和你妈妈一起散步。我喜欢这种生活。”从他的眼神里，我知道他深深地爱着我妈妈。

曾经我以为爱意味着鲜花、礼物和甜蜜的吻，但从这次经历中，我明白了爱只是我们生活被子里的一根线。爱在里面，让生活变得坚强和温暖。

Laughter is one of the best prescriptions for daily happiness. Find a group of friends and enjoy a distraction-free evening reminiscing and talking about your lives together. Avoid gossip and venting about problems that plague you. Keep in mind that often your friends know you well

enough to give you sound advice. Take it and then let the conversation shift to something more lighthearted.

Plan Your Day

Plan your meals a week in advance and cook ahead on the weekends. Each evening, set aside a few minutes to ready clothing and items that you need for the next day. Keeping your own needs in mind is a great way to stay organized and in control of your life so you can enjoy each moment. Turn off the TV

The temptation to turn on the TV for “noise” or to relax can actually be harmful to your health and your happiness. Don’t turn on the TV while you’re doing something pleasurable and relaxing, like cooking or spending time with your family. These activities deserve your focus and will reduce your stress levels, if you aren’t multitasking. Turn off the TV and give yourself some reflective time to read a book or play a game with your family.

You don’t need to change your entire life to find happiness. Start with these simple habits that can help refocus your mind on what is important and increase the joy you find in everyday living.

简单的习惯可以帮助你变得更快乐

吃香蕉

毫无疑问，这种水果是引发幸福感的“顶级香蕉”。这种超级食品不仅全年价格低廉、丰盛，而且在你最需要的时候也很简单、方便携带。吃一根香蕉可以让你的身心平静下来，同时给你足够的精力和脑力来面对这一天。

志愿者

伸出援助之手本身就是一种回报。利用你的技能和专业知识来帮助那些不幸的人可以提升你的幸福感。毕竟，你已经为更大的利益做了一些事情。从小事做起，也许为年迈的邻居准备一顿饭，或者自愿在当地的汤厨房做饭和端上晚餐。把一些生命和光明带回到某人的生活中，看到他们的幸福和感激是有感染力的。

享受友谊

笑是日常幸福最好的良方之一。找一群朋友，享受一个无分心的夜晚，一起回忆和谈论你们的生活。避免流言蜚语和发泄困扰你的问题。记住，你的朋友们经常很了解你，能给你很好的建议。拿着它，然后让谈话转移到更轻松的话题上。

计划你的一天

提前一周计划饮食，周末提前做饭。每天晚上，留出几分钟准备第二天需要的衣服和物品。记住自己的需要是一个很好的方式，保持组织和控制你的生活，这样你就可以享受每一刻。

关掉电视

为了“噪音”或放松而打开电视的诱惑实际上会对你的健康和幸福有害。当你做一些令人愉快和放松的事情时，不要打开电视，比如做饭或者和家人呆在一起。如果你不同时处理多个任务，这些活动值得你集中精力，并且会减少你的压力水平。关掉电视，给自己一些思考的时间去看书或者和家人一起玩游戏。

你不需要改变你的一生来寻找幸福。从这些简单的习惯开始，这些习惯可以帮助你把注意力重新集中在重要的事情上，增加你在日常生活中找到的快乐。

Passage 12

Younger people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about life, work and play. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in peace. Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. The aim is not just to keep busy but rather to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make furniture and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.

There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photography or painting. Others sit around talking and singing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.

When people live together, rules are always necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. The group discusses the problem. They ask, “Why did it happen?” “What should we do about it?”One of the teenagers has this to say about the experience: “You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group. ”年轻人和老年人并不总是一致的。他们有时对生活、工作和娱乐有不同的看法。但在纽约州的一个特别节目中，成年人和青少年和平共处。每年夏天，200名青少年和50名成年人作为一个特别工作组的成员一起生活8周。每个人每天工作几个小时。这样做的目的不仅仅是为了保持忙碌，而是为了在工作中找到意义和乐趣。一些青少年在树林里或村庄附近的农场工作。有些人学做家具和盖房子。成年人教他们这些技能。

每天有几个小时的空闲时间。周末也有空。在空闲时间，一些青少年学习摄影或绘画。其他人则围坐在那里说唱。每个青少年都会选择自己的方式来度过自己的空闲时间。

当人们生活在一起时，规则总是必要的。在这个节目中，青少年和成年人一起制定规则。如果有人违反了规则，问题就摆在整个小组面前。小组讨论这个问题。他们会问，“为什么会这样？“我们该怎么办？”

其中一个十几岁的孩子这样评价自己的经历：“你不再只想着自己了。你学会了如何思考团队。”

Dear Professor Liu,

Please accept my greeting from New York. I am just beginning my graduate studies here at this university. It is the third week of classes now. My roommate, Tom, is also a graduate student like me. He is studying biology. He is from Houston. We are now on good terms.

Our dormitory is well equipped . There are all kinds of electric home appliances. But we don't have a TV set. I am going to buy one this afternoon. The view on the window is pleasant, and the weather is hot in the summer right now. It is about 38 degrees outside the room. But we have air conditioning in the room, so I feel OK.

How are you getting on? Are you still working on your paper now?

Please say "Hello" to those who have taught me. I miss all of you very much.

Love

Wang Hui

Passage14

When we read fascinating stories of animals in their natural settings and see gorgeous colored pictures of the animals, few of us realize what some people went through to make all this possible. To study bats, investigators have to enter caves which can present many problems, including the guano（海鸟粪）, which produce unpleasant smell. One cave in Texas, where Merlin Tuttle went to photograph bats, had 20 million of the creatures and tons of guano. Tuttle could breathe only with

a respirator. That was not easy with the temperature at 102 degrees and the humidity at 100 percent. His respirator failed little by little, but he didn't notice it.

Eventually, he landed in the hospital with 40% of his lung capacity destroyed. Contrary to doctors' predictions he managed to recover. On his first trip after his recovery, he grabbed a tree branch to swing over an abandoned mine shaft（竖井）. The tree limb broke and he fell onto large rocks. This time he had broken ribs, but he is ready to go again.当我们在自然环境中读到动物的迷人故事，看到动物的彩色图片时，很少有人意识到有些人经历了什么使这一切成为可能。

为了研究蝙蝠，研究人员必须进入洞穴，这会带来很多问题，包括产生难闻气味的鸟粪。在得克萨斯州的一个洞穴里，梅林·塔特尔去给蝙蝠拍照，那里有2000万只蝙蝠和数吨的鸟粪。塔特尔只能用呼吸器呼吸。在102度的温度和100%的湿度下，这并不容易。他的呼吸器一点一点失灵，但他没有注意到。

最终，他在40%的肺活量被破坏的情况下住进了医院。与医生的预测相反，他设法康复了。在他康复后的第一次旅行中，他抓住一根树枝，在一个废弃的矿井上荡来荡去。树枝断了，他掉到大石头上。这一次他肋骨骨折了，但他已经准备好再去了。

Passage 15

Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van.

A small car can hold four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded. A van hold seven persons easily, so a family of three children could ask their grandparents to go on a holiday travel. They could all travel together.

Mr. Hagen and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and buy a van. There are seven seats in the van, and the sixth and seventh seats are used to put other things, for a family of five must carry many suitcases when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents' home, the suitcases are brought into the two seats can then carry the grandparents.

Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When a family are traveling to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks. All the members of a big family can enjoy a happier life when they are traveling together. That is why motor homes have become very popular. In America there are many parks for motor homes. 有小家庭的美国人拥有一辆小汽车或一辆大小汽车。如果父母都在工作，他们通常有两辆车。当这个家庭很大的时候，其中一辆车卖了，他们会买一辆面包车。

一辆小轿车可以容纳四个人，一辆大轿车可以容纳六个人，但它非常拥挤。一辆面包车可以轻松容纳七个人，这样一个有三个孩子的家庭就可以请他们的祖父母去度假旅行了。他们可以一起旅行。

哈根先生和他的妻子去年生了第三个孩子。这使得他们卖掉了第二辆车，买了一辆货车。面包车里有七个座位，第六和第七个座位用来放其他东西，因为一个五口之家旅行时必须携带许多手提箱。当他们到达祖父母家时，手提箱被带到两个座位上，然后可以承载祖父母。

美国人称货车为汽车之家。汽车之家总是用来度假的。当一家人去山上或海边旅行时，他们可以在汽车之家住几天或几周。一个大家庭的所有成员在一起旅行时都能享受更快乐的生活。这就是为什么汽车之家变得非常受欢迎的原因。在美国有许多汽车之家的公园。

Passage 16

When you want to go shopping，decide how much money you can spend for new clothes.Think about the kind of clothes you really need.Then Look for those clothes on sale.

There are labels inside all new clothes.The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes.The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water.A sweater label may tell you to wash by washing in cold water.The label on a coat may say "dry clean only.Washing may ruin this coat." If you do as the directions say on the label，you can keep your clothes looking their best.

Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive.When buying new clothes，check if they will need to be dry cleaned.You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed.

You can save money if you buy clothes that are well made.Well-made clothes last longer.They look good even after they have been washed many times.Clothes that cost more money are not always better made.They do not always fit better.Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes.

Passage 17

Millions of divorces take place all around the world every year. Many of them happen because one of the partners has changed significantly. Some of them happen because of the chronic cheating habits of either partner. But most of them happen because they were not in the right marriage to begin with.

Are you thinking of getting married? Here are the five crucial questions that you must ask yourselves first.

1. Are our life and career goals similar?

Marriage is a decision to inextricably join your life with someone else’s. Aligning your life, career and other important goals is crucial.

Are you planning to pool all your resources, throw them (and yourself) head-on into your new start-up ––the dream of your life? Then don’t marry someone who wants a stable life and lots of quality time together.

2. Do we fulfill each other's needs?

Ask yourself –– have you made a rational evaluation of whether and how much of your needs your significant other fulfills?

This is important because when we take that addictive drug called love, we tend to see only positives in the person we love. But if you ignore your basic needs, they will find a way to come back to you in the long run –– in the form of fights, emotional abuse, cheating and even divorce. 3. Do we really know each other?

Knowing your partner and allowing them to know you are vital aspects of a stable relationship. Trust takes an immense amount of work and time to build, but only seconds to lose.

4. Do we admire and respect each other?

Falling in love with someone “for no particular reason” is great for the heady period of infatuation but not nearly enough for the everyday reality of marriage. Marriage is a long commitment. It has to be about finding long-term fulfillment and happiness in the individuals that you are.

5. Am I ready to think of him/her as a parent of my children?

Remember, your legacy to this world will be as much a part of you as of him/her. Unless it fills your heart with joy to think of them as a parent of your children, you should probably think about that marriage thing again. 全世界每年都有数百万人离婚。其中很多都是因为其中一个合作伙伴发生了重大变化。他们中的一些人是因为双方都有长期的欺骗习惯。但他们中的大多数人之所以发生，是因为他们的婚姻一开始就不合适。

你想结婚吗？这里有五个关键问题，你们必须先问自己。

1.我们的生活和职业目标相似吗？

婚姻是一个决定，把你的生活和别人的生活密不可分地结合在一起。调整你的生活，事业和其他重要的目标是至关重要的。你是否打算把所有的资源都集中起来，把它们（和你自己）投入到你的新公司——你人生的梦想中？那就不要嫁给一个想要稳定的生活和很多美好时光的人。

2.我们能满足彼此的需要吗？

扪心自问——你是否对你的另一半是否满足以及满足了多少需求做出了合理的评估？

这一点很重要，因为当我们服用一种叫做“爱”的上瘾药物时，我们往往只看到我们爱的人身上的积极一面。但如果你忽视了你的基本需求，他们会找到一种方法从长远来看回归你——以打架、情感虐待、欺骗甚至离婚的形式。

3.我们真的认识吗？

了解你的伴侣并让他们了解你是稳定关系的重要方面。建立信任需要大量的工作和时间，失去只需几秒钟。

4.我们互相敬佩和尊重吗？

爱上一个人“没有特别的原因”是伟大的兴奋时期的迷恋，但不足以满足日常的婚姻现实。婚姻是一个长期的承诺。它它必须是关于在个人中找到长期的满足感和幸福感

5.我准备好把他/她看作我孩子的父母了吗？

记住，你留给这个世界的遗产将是你和他/她的一部分。除非把他们当作孩子的父母让你心里充满喜悦，否则你可能应该再考虑一下婚姻问题。

一般来说，在相关领域有更多工作经验的人会有更好的薪水。持有学士学位的人能获得更好的收入。硕士学位持有者的工资高于学士学位持有者，博士学位者的工资最高。

Passage 1

Most of time we cannot wait for others giving our prize, but we can give it to ourselves. At least, this is one of the best ways to live your life. Life is always not easy, but it’s always up to you whether optimistic or pessimistic. Therefore, try to love yourself and praise yourself more. As for the family, we can live a harmonious life by praising family members more often as well. Don’t trouble difficult relationship between family members anymore. So, be generous to praise! Passage 2

It is always interesting to visit another country, especially for those who have never traveled a great deal. Foreign Travel can be very educational for anyone if he is interested enough to make preparations beforehand. Learning the language of the new country would be difficult for the

traveler, but the benefits of such an effort would become obvious immediately on his arrival. It may not seem important to him when he comfortably stays at home, but knowing how to order a meal or book a room is necessary for the newcomer in a strange country. Without knowing the language, it is very difficult for the stranger to understand the people of the new country and their customs.

Of course, in our small world it is often possible to find someone who understands our own, but this is only second-best for the traveler. To be sure, he can see places and things without the use of a language, but places and things are not the heart of any country. To get the greatest benefit from a trip to another country, it is how important for the visitor to have an understanding of the language.

Passage 3

Did you sleep well last night? Maybe many people will answer No. In fact in the world about one in three people do not have good sleep. If you say you do not have good sleep, it means waking early and not getting back to sleep, often interrupted short period of sleep, or hours of wakefulness. You may get tired, worried, and anxious. Your memory and ability to remember things will be affected.

Then what should you do when you have the trouble? Do not worry about it too much. First, let’s see whether you can sleep yourself. The ways are as follows:

First, make sure that your bedroom isn’t too cold or too hot. Keep it dark and quiet.

Second, check your lifestyle: Do not drink tea, coffee, cola or chocolate four hours before going to bed. Drink less liquid so that you can have no or fewer visits to the toilet.

Set your body clock well by getting up and going to bed at the fixed time every day. You had better not take any daytime naps.

Develop a relaxing bedtime habit. Read or listen to music, then take a warm bath. If you really can not sleep, try some bread, rice or milk. They will help you fall asleep.

Go for a daily walk. Natural light helps you to put your body clock into correct habit, so do exercise outdoors if you can.

Forget the worries of the day. Write down any worries, thoughts or questions before you go to bed. With these written down, you will have less to think about and your sleep will become easier.。Passage 4

Happiness is a choice; you can choose to be sad when everything is going well for you and you can choose to be happy even when nothing seems right. To be happy at all times, you need to make happiness a habit and not just an act. Scientists believe that 20 minutes of exercise can make you happy regardless of how sad you may be. Exercise raises your heart rate and triggers a surge of hormonal changes. as your heart begins to pound, certain hormones are released which create a sense of total well being and you begin to feel well again, the mind stress is gone and everything is _under control. Another thing you can do is take a walk, this works for me all the time. When you take a walk, you are able to think over matters that are bothering you and come up with solutions to them.

Passage 5

People have been making use of these natural supplies for_thousands of years. with the
