Here are some pieces of advice on making friends with Americans: 1. Visiting places Americans enjoy: parties, churches, restaurants, parks and sports clubs. 2. Be willing to take the first step. Dont wait for them to get close to you. Americans in China may not know you speak English. They may be uncomfortable if they cant speak your language. 3. Use small talks to open the conversation. Ask them where theyre from, why they come to China, etc. . Remember: Be careful not to ask personal questions about age, salary and so on. 4. Show an interest in their culture, their country or their job. Americans like to talk about themselves! 5. Invite them to join you for dinner or just for coffee or tea.

D“Why do birds sing?” I asked a group of children. “To attract metes(配偶)!” answered a boy. A 4-year-old girl added shyly, “birds sing because they are happy, and they want to make us happy, too.” I think both answers are probably true in a way. If birds sing happily, it shows all is well in the forest: no predators (捕食者) are present, and the birds can feed, sing and do other bird things. The sound of a relaxed robin singing is easy to understand because it makes us feel this way tooits a sound that lifts our own hearts when we hear it.What happens when a predator comes into their areas? The nearby birds quickly give an alarm(警报) call, a short sound that warns, “Danger is coming!” On hearing the sound, the other birds stop singing and fly for cover, the deer lift their heads and stop moving and the rabbits run into the bushes. Suddenly, the forest becomes silent. When humans walk through the woods in a hurry or while talking with a friend, we dont see much wildlife. We may think that there arent many animals living there, but more likely, they know we are coming and hide minutes before our arrival. But if we learn to avoid setting off alarms, we can see many more wild animals without frightening them. To practice, find a place in a park and sit quietly for an hour. Take note as the birds begin to relax and sing again. When I do this, I am always surprised at the wonderful thing animals will do when humans simply stay still long enough.11.In the writers opinion, the childrens answers to his question are_.A. funny B. reasonable C. honest D. important12. Hearing a birds alarm call, a deer will _.A. run quickly into the bushes B. stand still with its head up C. lie down on the ground at once D. act as if nothing has happened13. According to the author, why cant we see much wildlife in the woods?A. Because we come at the wrong time. B. Because we fail to give warnings.C. Because we have set off alarms. D. Because few animals live there.14. The purpose of the last paragraph is to _.A. advise people to enjoy the songs of birds. B. ask people to learn something about birds. C. tell people how to protect birds in the wild. D. show people how and when birds sing.15. What is the text mainly about?A. The life of birds. B. Birds in the forest.C. How birds sing in the forest. D. The messages in birds singing.第二节：七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）（根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项）请涂到机读卡上.Everyday life in BritainThe weather is the most common topic in Britain. _16_.

And it would be a good idea to help others if possible and show them you are open and friendly as well. With time going on, people will know you better and like to make friends with you.Best wishes!Yours,Li Hua
