An older friend once gave me a piece of advice, “Enjoy the last few weeks of college,” she said, “since college is the best time of your life.”This was not the first time I’d heard such a statement，but with graduation fast coming close, her words especially struck me. It seemed a bit disappointing to reach one’s life peak at only 22 years of age, but in her opinion，college had been one of the best times in my life so far. I made friends, took classes, and learned a great deal about myself. But I was also excited for the time after college—moving to a new city, starting a new job, and becoming a “real” person. I hoped that my great dreams were practical.Then, last week I read a column in Real Simple Magazine called 100 Years of Attitude, in which women 100 years or older shared their life experiences and views. I noticed that none of them considered college as the “best” time of their life. Not all of them went to college，but still in most cases their teens and twenties were not the best times of their life. They said some of their favorite times were raising their children, traveling after retirement, and even enjoying their present time and age.Enjoying one’s present time and age was a clear theme of the interviews. A piece of advice given by the women was about the importance of making the best of all situations. I think it more accurate than that of my friend; I can say with certainty that if I am lucky enough to make it to 100. I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting (跌落) downhill，or even leveling off.I am sure that our eagerness and devotion will make us college students live a meaningful life. We will not just look backwards or miss our college days. We will look forward in excitement about continued journey uphill.1.Which of the following opinions does the writer agree with?A.College is the best time of one’s life.B.Twenties were the best time of the old people.C.One should make the best of all situations.D.One should not look backwards at their college time.2.In the second paragraph，the writer wants to say________.A.her achievements in college would be the peak of her successB.she is looking forward to living as a “real” person in collegeC.she becomes more and more uneasy with graduationD.she is satisfied with the college life but is hopeful for the future3.The column the writer read is mainly about those old women’s ________.A.best time of life at youthB.life experiences and viewsC.different opinions about lifeD.favorite time with best friends4.By saying “I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting downhill，or even leveling off” (in Paragraph 4), the writer really means_____.A.she will not spend the rest of her time at collegeB.she will not just obtain a college level certificateC.she will not be satisfied with what she has already accomplishedD.she will not be content with the life in the future5.Which of the following words can be used to describe the writer?A.AmbitiousB.PracticalC.ImaginativeD.Proud

第1题

Manners are very important in every country, but the trouble is that different countries

have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior. in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England

When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say “hello” and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people(students, for instance)that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself. On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess or another guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone’s house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.

Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

1.What will a person do when he attends a party run by older people？（）A、Go up to a stranger and introduce himself.

B、Ask his friend to introduce him to others.

C、Give a speech in front of others to introduce himself.

D、Wait to be introduced by the hoss/hostess.

2.Which of the following best explains the proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do. （）

A、If you go to Rome, you must do things like the Romans.

B、When you go to a foreign country, you should learn something about their manners.

C、Romans always do the right thing, so you should follow them.

D、Manners in Roman are as easy to follow as in other countries.

第5题

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet

disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.

Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.

Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may begenerous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

1.The writer of this passage must be a Chinese.()

2. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.()

3.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be warmly welcomed at the airport.()

4.The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean willing to spend time.

5.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships”.()
