阅读下面的短文，选出能回答所提问题的正确答案。

　　If you ask me to tell how to get along in the United States, I think the following “dos” and “don'ts” would be helpful.

　　Generally (通常) speaking, it isn't easy to find anyone to talk to in a busy city. So you should try to do the following. First, get or borrow a dog! Walk with him several times a day! Americans love dogs and cats and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog. Then, try to eat in a restaurant. People generally share (分享) the same tables and will sometimes talk to you if they see you are new here. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry (洗衣店)! It takes about an hour to wash and dry them and people there often pass time?talking with each other. Always ask for information from a woman if you are a man, and from a men if you are a woman! Learn to say, “Please.”“Thank you”and “You are welcome”and use them all the time.

　　There are some things you shouldn't do. Don't tell the truth when people ask “How are you?” The only a swer they want is “Fine”. Never ask people their age especially woman! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are fat. Tell them they re losing weight. Everyone wants to be thin. Don't be late when meeting people! When someone says six o'clock, be sure to be there by six. Americans respect time and want everyone to be “on time”.

(1)It isn't easy to find anyone to talk to in a busy city in the USA because ________.

[　　]

A．the streets are empty

B．people don't want to talk to new-comers

C．people in the USA are busy

(4)The words “heavy people”mean ________.

[　　]

Dear Annie,

I have never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing. I have always felt I was quite able to do everything by myself. But now I know I was wrong.

Sometimes you really need help in life, I guess. And that’s why I’m writing this letter to you.

I have a happy family. I love my children and they love me . I’m a mother of three children. I know well how to bring up (带大)children, and two of them are already over twenty, so it is nothing new for me.

But now I have a serious problem:the Internet problem. My little son is just sixteen, and I feel he should do a lot of homework now , but he doesn’t seem to be interested in it . He can happily spend six or eight hours at a time on the Tnternet every day , He chats with pelple that he has never met before , but speaks little to us .He does lots of useless things on the Internet. And he sees red if you ask him to do his homework.

I just want him to be a good student . Now he seldomdoes his lessons at home. I’m afraid he will drop behind in his class soon. His father is a doctor , a very kind man . He never seems to be afraid of his father.

What can I do ?And don’t tell to talk to him. We’ve tried that and it didn’t work. But this is really a big problem in our family. I have tried everything I can think of . I

wonder how the Internet is so attractive(有吸引力的).You’re my last hope. Please tell me what I can do!

Yours,

Ellen Smith

If you want to travel with a partner, you may ask for one on the Internet. There are some tips about how to choose a right partner on the Internet:

Unluckily, you can’t ask a person if he has a good feeling. If you ask, everyone will tell you that they do! It is important that you have to get to know your travel partner to find out what kind of feeling he really has.

You can tell a lot about a person’s feeling by the words he uses. Ask him about his worst trip. Is he laughing about it now, or still unhappy? Does his worst trip sound like an adventure to you? If so, he doesn’t match you. Having a good feeling is important for having a good time.

Talk about the hotel you would like to stay in. See if you have the same habit of spending holidays. This is such a quick way to find a partner.

What’s more? Always keep in contact with(联系) your travelling partner when travelling. Don’t simply hang out without telling them, and don’t let them do it to you, either.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案

　　I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa. I was thinking of pizza. I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.

　　Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and not pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really does lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city.

　　I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down, it is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect, it seems to say.

　　And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa Tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.

The next day she went (68) _______ (shop). The first shop she went into was a butcher’s shop (肉铺).

“I’d like ten pounds of steak (牛排), please,” she said.

“That (69) _______ (be) just under ten pounds,” he said.

“That big enough,” Mrs. Parker said.

The butcher worked out the price.

“$4.99 a pound, that will be $49.50, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?”

“Oh, I don’t want to buy the meat,” Mrs. Parker said.
