    Don’t be surprised when strangers talk to you in Canada! You will find that many Canadians will smile at you as they pass in the street, or say something to you like “Hi!” or “How’s it going?” Just reply with something similar. In the UK the reply would be “I’m fine”, but in Canada they say “I’m good”.
    In company, when someone is offering you a second helping of food or more wine, if you don’t want any more, use the same expression— “I’m good”. In this case, it means “No, thank you. I’ve had enough”. Most Canadians don't press you to eat more than you want.
    In restaurant, your plate will be cleared away almost immediately you have finished eating. When you go into a shop or store, the shop assistant asks you how you are or if they can help you, it is their way of being friendly and making conversation with the customers.
    Canadians eat early and go home early. When you are invited to a Canadian’s home, you may be asked to arrive at 5:30 pm or 6 pm. But guests in Europe don’t expect to arrive until 7:30 pm or 8 pm. Remember to take off your shoes and leave them inside the door without being asked. It’s not a religious custom, but it’s practical. In winter, there can be a lot of snow and dirt on your shoes, once you are in the warm house it melts and falls off, making a mess. Canadians tend to have light colored carpets or hardwood floors.
    If you’re invited for dinner, it will be a full sit- down meal. Meat is usually barbecued in the freezing cold of winter. Do take something with you, like a bottle of wine. Arrive on time and don’t stay over 10 pm.
    1. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A.
    		“I’m good” can mean you do not need more food in Canada.
    B.
    		In Canada, you will meet strangers in the street saying “Hi” to you.
    C.
    		In a Canadian restaurant, the plates will stay at the table until you leave.
    D.
    		Canadians usually say “I’m good” to answer the greeting of “How’s it going?”
    2. If you are invited for dinner in your Canadian friend’s home, ________.
    A.
    		you will have a full sit-down meal
    B.
    		you don’t have to bring any gift for the host
    C.
    		you are expected to arrive at 7:30 or 8 pm
    D.
    		you don’t have to take off your shoes when you enter the room
    3. When a Canadian shop assistant says “How are you?” to you, it suggests that _______.
    A.
    		they hope to make friends with you
    B.
    		they want to ask you for help
    C.
    		they are very friendly to customers
    D.
    		they are your good friends
    4. What can we learn from the passage?
    A.
    		Canadians like dark colored carpets.
    B.
    		In Canada, meat will not be barbecued even in the cold winter.
    C.
    		You will always be asked to eat more food than you want in Canada.
    D.
    		It is usually rude to stay over 10 pm in your Canadian friend’s home.
    5.What would be the best title for this passage?
    A.
    		Some customs in Canada
    B.
    		Dinner party rules in Canada
    C.
    		Studying in Canada
    D.
    		Doing business in Canada

    I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.
    He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.
    When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"
    Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.
    His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !
    This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

    I once heard someone say, “We don’t remember days; we remember moments.” However, in today’s busy life we often forget to enjoy small pleasures while we make big plans.
    In the race to be better or best, we sometimes lose sight of “just being”. And just being and enjoying a beautiful moment can provide some of life’s greatest pleasures. A fire on a cold winter night, a good book, an impressive sunset, a great meal, or a timeless moment with your child or a friend ．．． these moments, if we stop long enough to enjoy, are the essence (本质) of life.
    I love to fish, especially for large-mouth bass (鲈鱼). About three years ago I was watching television late at night and got this crazy idea to go fishing in the lake behind my house. Of course, my wife thought I was nuts. It was almost midnight! I told her I was fine and took off.
    I walked out to a warm summer breeze and looked up at the starry sky and breathtaking full moon. I allowed my senses to soak (浸泡) in every second — the sweet smell of flowers, the sound of every cricket (蟋蟀), the moon’s reflection dancing off the water — it was a perfect night.
    After walking across a small field, I took out a flashlight, and selected a lure (饵). On my first cast I got a bass weighing over five pounds, one of the largest I had ever caught. I gently put it back into the water and continued my midnight adventure. During the next two hours I caught seventeen bass, all between two and five pounds. Although I’ve fished for almost fifty years, no fishing memory can top that night.
    But that night provided far more than a fishing memory. It was a life memory. It provided me a picture of what life could be like if I just slowed down enough to enjoy the moments. On my way back to the house, as I walked through the tall grass, I took one last look at the sky and stopped to say, “Thank you, God, for giving me this night.”
    64. The purpose of the passage is to ______.
    A. suggest people should make big plans                          
    B. tell people to do what they like
    C. advise people to enjoy beautiful moments
    D. encourage people to follow their dreams
    65. What does the underlined word “nuts” in Paragraph 3 mean?
    A. Determined.               B. Ill.      C. Tired.                 D. Crazy.
    66. The fourth paragraph is mainly about ______.
    A. the description of the night
    B. the author’s fishing experience
    C. the author’s attitude towards life
    D. what the author did that night
    67. We can learn from the passage that night the author ______.
    A. caught fewer fish than before
    B. enjoyed real small pleasures
    C. went to bed around 1:00 am
    D. went fishing with his wife

    “You must be mad！” said my friends. “Giving up your job now， when there isn't much chance of finding another one， ever！”
    But I had already come to my lonely decision. To wake up in the morning with a sense of fear， to force a hasty breakfast down an unwilling throat and then to set off for work with pounding heart and frozen face had become habitual， and I had turned to tranquilizers(镇定剂) to help me along.
    It hadn't always been as bad as this. Ten years before I had managed quite well.
    I， in common with most other teachers， am rather self­critical， and I knew now I was no longer “managing”.My classes were noisy， the children were not learning very much， and my attempts to cope with changing teaching methods produced very little effect. At one time my very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence. Now they give a vague(含糊的) “Hello， Miss”， and carry on. I had run out of enjoyment and enthusiasm. It was time to stop.
    Was it all my own failure？ In fairness to myself， I don't think it was. I had plenty of ideas， I loved my subject， and I liked children.
    I had been idealistic. But the reality I faced was bored children， over­stimulated(刺激)by video­watching the night before and tired out by a late bedtime. They were given the wrong food at the wrong time， who came without breakfast to school and then stuffed themselves with gum and chocolates bought on the way； who were “high” with hunger in class and talked restlessly as the cooking smell from the school kitchen came drifting (漂) to all floors.
    I had been trying to create the basic conditions in which teaching becomes possible， but I had failed， and no longer had the stomach for the job.
    64.The reason why the writer decided to give up her job was probably that　　　　.
    A.teaching children wasn't challenging
    B.she took no pride in her work
    C.teaching had become too much for her
    D.she disliked the new teaching method
    65.“My very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence” means“　　　　”.
    A.I'd very well make some students stop talking simply by standing in the doorway
    B.when I came to the doorway， the class would immediately quiet down
    C.all the students would become silent on my turning up in the doorway
    D.my appearance in the doorway could at least comfort the class

    My Best Enemy
    Once again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Lisa. That’s where the similarities ended.
    I was tall and she was small. My thick black hair had been recently cut short into an untidy style. Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. I was 12 and one of the oldest in the class while she was 11 and the youngest. I was awkward and shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t stand her, considering her my enemy. But she liked me and wanted to be friends.
    One day, she invited me over and I said yes—I was too shocked to answer any other way. My family had moved six times in six years, and I had never managed to develop any friendships. But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school. She lived in a fun part of town that had two pizza places, an all-right bookstore, a movie theater and a park. As we walked from the school bus stop through her neighborhood, I tried to guess which house might be hers. Was it the white one with the perfect lawn or the three –story house with a front porch? I got very surprised when she led me into an old apartment building. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister.
    When we got into the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies, which was my next surprise. I had never played with them. We sat on the floor, laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. We found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and both had wild imaginations. We had a great day that afternoon.
    Lisa was loved by the whole neighborhood. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines; the movie theater gave her free tickets…. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other’s houses and spent every free moment together.
    Lisa, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through the rough years of early adolescence（青春期）and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: you worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.
