我的祖母可能是固执,但她不是傻子。于是,第二天,她去到另一个医生,他还告诉她,她需要的操作。
我奶奶问医生。 “如果我是你的母亲,你会建议什么?”医生走到她的面前,微微一笑,把他的胳膊搂着她说,“妈妈,我们这就做手术!”她的手术非常成功。我的祖母去世(去世)在她的第97个生日几个星期前,。然而,由于她的积极态度,她给了我们,她的家人和朋友几乎8年的生活享受与她分享。

小题3:细节理解题,根据文中语句“My grandmother passed away(去世)a few weeks before her 97th birthday.”理解可知。从这个故事中我们知道奶奶在即将97岁的时候去世了,手术之后又生活了近十年,故选C。
小题4:词义理解归纳题,根据文中语句“My grandmother might have been stubborn, but she was not a fool.”理解可知。Stubborn的含义是执拗的,故选A。
小题5:理解归纳题,根据文中语句“My grandmother passed away(去世)a few weeks before her 97th birthday. However, because of her positive attitude(积极的态度),she gave us ,her family and friends almost eight years of life to enjoy sharing with her”理解可知。积极的生活态度能改变人的一生,故选B。

An American writer, Mr Green once(曾经) said, “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” It is true that everybody talks about the weather. Many people begin their talks by saying, “Isn’t it a nice day?” “Do you think it will rain?” “I think it’s going to snow.”
Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But sometimes they don’t agree with each other. One man may say, “Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It’s going to rain tomorrow.” Another man will say, “No, it’s going to be fine tomorrow.”
People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it’s going to rain, and he doesn’t look for anything else. When friends have a picnic, they hope the weather is going to be fine and they can sit eating their lunch under the blue sky.
Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says. But he doesn’t always tell us what we want, and sometimes he makes a mistake. Still, he is right most of the time.

Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we can’t be more familiar with the fact of friendship, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends, especially with Americans. Here are some pieces of advice on making friends with Americans:
* Visiting places Americans enjoy: parties, churches, restaurants, parks and sports clubs.
* Be willing to take the first step. Don’t wait for them to get close to you. Americans in China may not know you speak English. They may be uncomfortable if they can’t speak your language.
* Use small talks to open the conversation. Ask them where they’re from, why they come to China, etc. Remember: Be careful not to ask personal questions about age, salary and so on.
* Show an interest in their culture, their country or their job. Americans like to talk about themselves.
* Invite them to join you for dinner or just for coffee or tea. Try to set a specific (明确的)time. Americans sometimes make general invitations like “Let’s go out for a dinner sometime.” Often this is just a way to be friendly. It’s not always a real invitation.
* Don’t expect too much at first. Maybe they’re being friendly. But maybe they want to be your good friends. It will take time to tell.
