    　　The United States covers a large part of the north American continent. Its neighbors are Canada to the north, and Mexico to the South.

    　　When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented on the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 states. In 1959, two more stars were added to the flag.

    　　Indians were the first inhabitants of the land which is now the United States. Most Americans, however, are descendants of people who came from all over the world. Those who came first and in greatest mummies were mostly from England. It is for that reason that the language of the United States is English.

    True or False

    (1) Canada and Mexico are neighbors of the United States

    (2) There were 48 states at the beginning

    (3) All those states are in the western part

    (4) The English were the first inhabitants of America

    (5) Most Americans are descendants of people who came from India

    阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

    　　The porter brings your bags to your room and helpfully explains all you want to know．Then he points to the phone and says：“If there's anything else you need, just call．”All this time you have been thinking one thing：“How much should I tip(付小费)him?”To make your next trip a little easier, here's a guide to tipping across some Asian countries．

    　　Bangkok

    　　In general, the more Westernized the place is, the more likely you will be expected to leave a tip．Some top-end restaurants will add a 10％ service charge to the bill．If not, waiters will appreciate you tacking on(附加)the 10％ yourself．However, if you're eating at lower-end(低档的)restaurant a tip is not necessary．If you're staying at one of Bangkok's many five-star hotels, expect to tip the porter 20 to 50 baht, depending on how many bags you have．Taxis are now metered in Bangkok．Local custom is to round the fare(车费)up to the nearest five baht．

    　　Tipping is customary in this money-mad metropolis(大都市)．Most restaurants add a 10％ service charge to the hill, but the extra money often ends up in the pocket of the owner．If the service is good, add another 10％ to the bill, up to UK 100 in an especially nice restaurant．For HK 10 hotel porters should do it at all but the nicest hotel where a new HK 20 bill may be more acceptable．When in a taxi, round up(凑整数)to the nearest dollar．

    　　Kuala Lumpur

    　　Tipping in Malaysia is limited to the expensive Westernized hotels, which often add a 10％ service charge to your meal or hotel room．If you are at a hotel restaurant, expect a 10％ service charge．But at local restaurants, there's no need to add a tip．At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit will content a porter．At lower end buildings you don't have to tip．Like Bangkok, many taxis are now metered(打表)so you can just round up to the nearest ring it．

    　　Tipping is not part of Korean culture, although it has become a matter of course in international hotels where a 10％ service charge is often added．If you're at a Korean barbecue joint(烧烤处), there's no need to add anything extra．But a nice Italian restaurant may require a 10％ contribution．If you're at a top-end hotel, so expect to pay 500－1000 won per bag．Taxi drivers don't accept a tip．Keep the change for yourself．

    (1)

    In which of the following cities is it unnecessary to tip the taxi-drivers?

    [　　]

    A．

    Bangkok．

    B．

    Hong Kong．

    Many students ask me how they can check their progress. I think a good way to see if you are learning well is to do a self-assessment(自我评价).

    A self-assessment is often in the form of questions about what you have learned in this unit. By answering these questions, you can find out how you have learned. In this way, you can learn more about yourself and about your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know your strengths, you will be more confident; once you know your weaknesses, you can concentrate on(集中注意力) improving them. Many textbooks today have a self-assessment page at the end of each unit. It’s a good idea to do self-assessments regularly. You can do it at the end of the day or week, or after each unit. A self-assessment doesn’t take long. Once you do it regularly, you will find that it can really help you become a better learner.

    (　 )36. How can students check their progress according to the writer?

    　　　　 A. By asking their teachers.　　　　　

    　　　　 B. By asking their classmates.

    　　　　 C. By talking with their parents.　　　

    　　　　 D. By doing a self- assessment.

    (　 )37. What do you need to do after a self-assessment?

    　　　　 A. To get ready for the next unit.

    　　　　 B. To improve the weaknesses.

    　　　　 C. To listen to what others say about it.

    　　　　 D. To write the questions down.

    (　 )38. How can a self-assessment help you according to the writer?

    　　　　 A. By doing a self-assessment, you can find out whether you can pass the exam.

    　　　　 B. By answering self-assessment questions, you can learn more about yourself.

    　　　　 C. By doing a self-assessment, you will be more confident.

    　　　　 D. By doing a self-assessment, you will become stronger than before.

    (　 )39. What does the underlined word “strength” mean in Chinese?

    　　　　 A. 长处　　　　　　　　　　 B. 好处　　　

    　　　　 C. 力量　　　　　　　　　　 D. 成绩

    (　 )40. Which of the following is NOT true?

    　　　　 A. Doing a self-assessment is a good way to see if you learn well.

    　　　　 B. You will answer questions when you do a self-assessment.
