Hobbs was an orphan（孤儿）. He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.
One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn’t know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I’d like to do：painting pictures.
I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it’s too much for one and too little for the other.”
“Here is the reading of your uncle’s will（遗嘱）,” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.”
“Yes, I see. I’ll do that,” said the young man.

Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.
One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he’d better not go there. Mark Twain waved (摇动) his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don’t think they will come to visit me.”
After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “I’m very sorry, Mr Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town.” One of them said to him.
Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter, “The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didn’t come into the wrong room.” What he said made all the people present laugh heartily.
But that night Mark Twain slept well. Do you know why? That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night.
55. That day Mark Twain went to the town _____.

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signals(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize(强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I
had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment(多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other,
59. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to ______.
A. develop closer relations
B. share the same culture
C. get to know each other
D. keep each other company
60. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that_________.
A. the English prefer to make long speeches
B. too many words are of no use
C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by name
D. even talk and silence can be culturally different
61. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?
A. By sharing different ways of life
B. By accepting different babits
C. By recognizing different values
D. By speaking each o ther’s languages
62. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Multicultural Environment
B. Cross-Cultural Differences
C. How to Understand Each Other
D. How to Build up a Relationship

Weather changes when the temperature and the amount of water in the atmosphere changes.
We can see and
feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the
atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle.
There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapor in clouds condenses(凝结). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and feeds steams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapor. The vapor rises onto the air. Water vapor is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapor rising from a puddle(水坑) or pond in a mist(薄雾)above the water. Water vapor also gets into the air from living things. Trees and
other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapor from their leaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapor. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹) fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapor in the air depends on the temperature. The air is more moist(潮湿)in the tropics(热带) than in the cold polar regions.
63. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Water cycle B/ Water vapor C. How rain forms D. Water ,vapor, rain
64. How many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text?
A. Two
B. Three
C. Four
D. Five
65. Whether water vapor can be seen or not depends on _______.
A. how much water is evaporated
B. how good your eyes are
C. in which way water is evaporated
D. climate or weather
66. From the passage we get to know___________.
A. there is more water vapor in the air in the tropics than in cold polar regions
B. there is more water vapor in the air in cold polar region than in the tropics
C. it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vapor
D. the amount of water vapor in the air depends on how often it rains

The father leaves for work in the morning after breakfast. The two children take the bus to school, and the mother stays at home cooking and cleaning until the father and the kids come home in the evening. This is the traditional picture of a happy family living in Britain, but is it true today?
The answer is no! The past 20 years have seen many changes in the lives and structures of families in Britain.
The biggest change has been caused by divorce （离婚）. The large rise in divorce has meant many women need to work to support themselves and their children. Even where there is no divorce, many families need both parents to work in order to survive. This has caused an increase in childcare facilities （设备）, though they are very expensive and can be difficult to find in many areas.
In addition, women are no longer happy to stay at home raising children, and many have careers earning as much or even more than men, which is much different from the traditional way.
However, these changes have not had a totally negative （负面的）effect. For women, it is now much easier to have a career and good pay. Although it is difficult to be a working mother, it has become normal and is no longer seen as a bad thing for the children.
As for the children themselves, some argue that modern children are growing up to be more independent than in the past, and get along well with others. From an early age
they have to go to kindergarten, so they are used to dealing with strangers and other children.
67. According to the passage, the biggest change in the structure of families in
Britain is caused by ______.
A. the growing population
B. the rise in divorce
C. the poor economic situation
D. the increase in the number of working women
68. The first paragraph is written to ______.
A. compare the traditional and modern family in Britain
B. explain the disadvantages of the traditional family in Britain
C. show the traditional family structure in Britain
D. praise the modern family structure in Britain
69. Which of the following is the negative effect of the modern family in Britain?
A. Many women have less time to look after their children than before.
B. It is now much easier for women to have a career and get good pay.
C. Children are more independent than in the past.
D. It’s easier for children to get along with other children.
70. The purpose of writing this passage is to ______.
A. have pity on the working mother in Britain
B. find fault with the modern British society
C. list the bad effects of the modern family in Britain
D. give a brief introduction to the modern family in Britain
