Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions. For each question there are 4 choices marked A), B), C), and D). Choose the ONE answer that best completes each sentence.Passage 1If you are invited to an American friends home for dinner, keep in mind these general rules for polite behavior. First of all, arrive approximately on time (but not early). Americans expect promptness. It is OK to be 10 or 15 minutes late, but not 45 minutes late. Dinner might be overcooked and ruined by then. When you are invited to someones home for a meal, it is polite to “bring a small gift”. Flowers or candy are always appropriate. If you have an attractive item made in your native country, your host and hostess would certainly enjoy receiving that as a gift.If you are served some food you dont like or cant eat, dont make a fuss about it. If your host doesnt say anything about what you are eating, then you shouldnt, either. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one notices what you left. If you are questioned, you may have to admit that you dont eat meat (or whatever), but you can also say that you have enjoyed the other foods and have had “more than enough” to eat. Dont make the cook feel obliged(被迫) to prepare something else for you. Be sure to compliment the cook on the food that you enjoyed.Dont leave immediately after dinner, but dont overstay your welcome（做客时间过久）, either. When your friends seem to be getting tired and running out of conversation, take their behavior as a cue（暗示）to leave. The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.71. Having been invited to an American home for dinner, youd better arrive _.

Its midnight now, and I wonder when dawn will break. In her silent world, Muriel is so content, so lovable. If she were to die, how I would miss her gentle, sweet presence!Love is said to evaporate if the relationship is not mutual, if its not physical, if the other person doesnt communicate or if one party doesnt carry their share of the load.Some people find it so hard to understandmy quitting the job. “Do you miss being president” a student asked. I told him Id never thought about it. I enjoyed learning to cook and keep house. It was exciting as my former work had been. No, Id never looked back.People ask me, “How do you do it” Praise helps. Memories help, too. Muriel stocked the cupboard of my mind with the best of them. I often live again a special moment of love she planned with her endless passion about life.Muriel hasnt spoken a coherent word in months-years, if you mean a sentence, a conversation. Would I never hear that voice againThen came February 14, 1995.Valentines Day was always special at our house because that was the day in 1948 that Muriel accepted my marriage proposal. On the eve of Valentines Day in 1995, I bathed Muriel, kissed her good night and whispered a prayer over her, “Dear Lord, you love sweet Muriel more than I, so please keep my beloved through the night.”The next morning I was peddling on my exercise bike at the foot of her bed and reminiscing about some of our happy lovers days long gone while Muriel slowly emerged from sleep. Finally, she popped awake and, as she often does, smiled at me. Then, for the first time in months she spoke, calling out to me in avoiceas clear as a crystal chime, “Love . . . love . . . love.”I jumped from my cycle and ran to hold her. “Honey, you really do love me, dont you” Holding me with her eyes, she responded with the only words she could find to say yes. “Yes, Im nice,” she said.76.

She learned to read at age two and a half. Her parents divorced when she was very young and she was sent to live with her grandmother on a farm. At fourteen, she went to live with her father. He made sure that Oprah read a different book every week and required that she write a book report. Although this may have seemed harsh at the time, it could have given her the love of books she have today. Oprah graduated from Tennessee State University with a major in speech communications and performing arts. In 1978, Oprah was hired as a co-host of a show called People are talking, which began her career as a talk-show host. In 1984, Oprah moved to Chicago to host WLS-TVs morning talk-show, AM Chicago. In less than a year, the name of the show was changed to The Oprah Winfrey Show. In 1986, it became the most popular talk-show in television history. Nowadays in the USA, over twenty million viewers a week watch her show. Her Internet website is paced with topics of interest for her audience. What is her secret to success She did not come from a perfect family. She was not born with wealth, not with the kind of looks that often unlock the doors of opportunity for women in television. Instead, Oprah was born with intelligence, talent and an amazing ability to be herself.She is possibly the most trusted woman in America. Her fans trust her to entertain, inspire, educate, and understand them. To many, Oprah Winfrey is just like their favorite next-door neighbor. No matter whom the audiences are, Oprah still appears to be natural and open. She can usually say what other people would like to say themselves, if only they dared.
