    Most Americans enjoy moving from place to place. For example, they often drive their cars 120 to 160 kilometres away just to have dinner with a friend or even fly to London or Paris just to watch a football match. In some states only one person in five lives in a place for more than five years. One may be born in one city, and go to school in another. He may finish his middle school in two or three cities, and then go to college far across the country. When he begins to work, he may possibly move from job to job. Moving from one job to another, which is called “job-hopping”, can be seen in many places in the United States.

    London’s Chinese community(社区) dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in Limhouse, east London. As time went on, other Chinese came to this area and Limhouse began to be known as “Chinatown”. However, London’s Chinese community remained every small for many years: at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.
    After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled (定居) in a different area—a port of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.
    At first, the new immigrants found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants and take-ways started opening in every part of the city. Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas.
    As time went by, London’s Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get highly paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to more expensive outskirts. Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.
    小题1:When did the first Chinese immigrants come to London?
    A. In the 1950s.
    B. B. More than 200 years ago.
    C. C. At the start of the 20 century.
    小题2:Why did many Chinese immigrants come to London in the 1950s?
    A. Because it was easy for them to get jobs there.
    B. Because many British people enjoyed Chinese food.
    C. Because their children could study there and get highly paid jobs.
    小题3:In the 1950s, Chinese immigrants came to London and worked as _______.
    A. sailors
    B. sailors and farmers
    C. restaurant workers
    小题4:Where is London’s Chinatown now?
    A. In the east of London.
    B. In Limhouse.
    C. Not far from Leicester square.

    What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
    If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11="98," meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5="96," while love :12+15+22+5="54," and luck : 12+21+3+11="47," a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈祷)? They can’t, either.
    Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark.
    Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.
    When you change your manner and become friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards failure(失败), you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.
    小题1:In the writer’s opinion, what is the most important things in a person’s life?
    A．Hard-work.B．Knowledge.C．Money.D．Attitude.
    小题2:According to the passage, what’s the mark of the word “succeed”?
    A．50B．60 C．70D．80
    小题3: What does the underlined word “positive” mean in the text?
    A．正面B．反面C．积极的D．消极的
    小题4:According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to ___________.
    A．change your attitudeB．say your prayers to God
    C．ask for help from othersD．try math-solving methods
    小题5:From the passage we can learn that ______________.
    A．different attitudes come from different courses of life.
    B．mathematics can solve every problem easily in our daily life
    C．failure sometimes can bring you good if you take a positive attitude

    When you discuss about eating out with your friend, first of all, you must make it clear who will pay for the meal.If somebody suggests having lunch with his friend, he might simply say something like this "I'm afraid it'll have to be some place nearby ,as I have little money."

    Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.
    Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.
    We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true but it's a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference.?
    When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知),which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear? If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons.
    Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don't just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That's how we live an exciting life.
    小题1:From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone who
    A．is like themselves
    B．has a sense of humor?
    C．is open-minded
    D．lives an exciting life
    小题2:People like staying in their comfort zone because they may
    A． remain comfortable and special
    B． be accepted easily and feel safe
    C． find out more interesting things
    D．discover differences among themselves
    小题3:What is the purpose of the passage?
    A．To tell us just to be ourselves in social life.
    B．To introduce ways to learn about the world.
    C．To explain how people communicate with others.
    D．To encourage us to meet people of different kinds.
