Its wise to telephone before visiting someone.Never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I may not be able to e.” If you are unable to e after accepting the invitation, be sure to tell those who invite you in advance（提前）that you will not be there.When you have accepted the invitation to a party or a dinner, it is polite to bring small gifts with you, such as bottles of drink, flowers and chocolate. Sometimes Westerners may take you out to dinner in a restaurant and it does not necessarily mean that he is going to pay the bill at the end of the meal. He might want you to “go Dutch”, which means each person pays his own bill.31. The best title of this passage is _ A. Drop in anytime. B. e and see me soon. C. Invitation in western countries. D. Westerners. 32. When Westerners say “ Drop in anytime” or “e and see me soon” , it means _A. you are wele to visit them anytime B. you are wele to visit them, but you still need to call them before going to their house. C. they dont want you to visit them. D. they will hold a party for you.33. If a westerner invites you to go to his house, _A. you may refuse if you dont plan to go.

The underlined part “go Dutch” means “_” in Chinese. A. 去荷兰 B. 去Dutch这家餐厅 C.实行 AA制 D. 请客BWhat personal qualities are preferred in a teacher? Probably no two people would give the same answer to this question. As we know, the teachers personality should be favourably lively and attractive. This is not to say that ugly-looking people cannot be considered here, because many such have great characteristics. But it does mean that those impatient, cold, unfriendly people with negative personalities can never be good teachers. But I think the following would also be generally agreed.A teacher should be intelligent (聪明的) and well-organized. As a teacher, he or she should always know what is going to happen in class. Always be prepared to solve a problem, to answer a strange question and to suggest a good idea. At the same time, a teacher also needs to be honest. Everyone makes mistakes, and a teacher shouldnt be embarrassed by this but bravely admit (承认) his/her own faults.A teacher should know how to appreciate students progress, when to avoid making students feel stupid, and praise students as much as possible. A teacher should know that being strict doesnt mean you dont encourage children. Children would prefer to correct their mistakes when you encourage them rather than when you criticize them seriously. Positive words are always better for helping children.In addition, a good teacher should know how to behave in an amusing way at the right time. Jokes are the best friends of a teaching method. A funny and relaxed class will help children to love learning. Dont be afraid of being laughed at. Making friends with children is not an embarrassing thing. You will find in fact that children will respect you more than you imagine.I think a teacher should also be a learner. Teaching is a job; it will never be perfect. There is always something more to learn about it. There are three important things in teaching: the subjects, the method of teaching and the most importantthe children, young people or adultsthe learners. A good relationship between two personsthe teacher and the learnermakes a good education.36. According to the text, what qualities are preferred in a teacher? A. lively and attractive B. honest C.helpful D. Hard to say. 37. A good teacher should be .A. cold and serious B. strict and friendlyC. homorous and strange D. good-looking and lively38. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. A good teacher never makes mistakes at any time. B. A teacher should always behave in an amusing way. C. It isnt embarrassing for teachers to make friends with students. D. A teacher should criticize students instead of encouraging them.39. The word “appreciate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ” in Chinese. A. 欣赏 B. 羡慕 C. 感激 D. 确认40. What is the best title of the passage? A. A good teacher, a good learner B. What makes a good education C. Three important things in teaching D. The personal qualities of a teacher CAs Keira climbed into bed, she thought about tomorrows field trip. Her class was going to a presentation by a West African traditional storyteller. Keira was excited because she was of West African descent. Her great-grandmother had e to the United States from Senegal, a country in West Africa. Until now, Keira hadnt thought much about her roots(根源). Early the next morning, Keira looked everywhere for something to show her West African roots. She dug through every drawer, but she couldnt find anything that really stood out. Finally, she put on a white shirt and jeans. Although she wore ordinary clothes, she hoped that her interest in her West African roots would not go unnoticed.At the munity center, Keira was lucky enough to get a front-row seat.

He was Keiras favorite drummer. He was from Senegal. She began to realise just how much her West African roots influenced her American life. Finally, the storyteller came up. He told a story that explained how the chameleon, a small lizard(蜥蜴), changed its colors. Then he introduced the Spider and Tortoise. It was known that they appeared to be generous but in fact they wanted to keep everything for themselves. Some of the stories made these characters seem poor as they fought for every last piece. However, they were simply naughty(调皮的). They certainly did learn their lessons!Keira couldnt keep her mind from thinking about all the different stories her mother had told. Her memory was pouring out again! She knew about everything the storyteller said.After the presentation, the class talked to the storyteller. Keira told about how her great-grandmother had moved to the United States from Senegal. Her great-grandmother left her village because of a famine, a time of hunger. She had explained to Keiras grandmother that the villagers spent days begging for food. Her great-grandmother finally came to the United States. Keira told the storyteller about those of her bedtime stories. When Keira was finished, the storyteller pointed out that she had just done his job. She had described her family and the stories they told. Keira could hardly wait to tell her mother and grandmother the news!41. Keria was _ about the presentation on the evening of the day before.

Temple starred in some of the greatest movies ever made during the film industrys infancy (初期). Born on April 23, 1928 in Santa Monica, California, Temple was encouraged by her mother to develop her interest in singing, acting, and dancing. She enrolled young Shirley into a dance school at the age of 3. She also began styling Shirleys hair copying silent movie star Mary Pickfords look. Her first acting experience came while she was still in the dancing school at a very young age. She appeared in a series of short films where child actors were used to play adults. The shorts, as they were called, were satirical (讽刺的) in nature, and soon fell out of favour with the public. Temple gained valuable acting experience at a young age, though. A Fox Film songwriter was very taken by the young star, and he introduced her to studio executives. She was signed to do her first film in 1933 at the age of 5. The film Stand Up and Cheer was a big success, and Temples career was off.Her career is one of the most remarkable in Hollywood history. She made lots of successful films as a child actress. She was very mature (成熟的), and talented for someone so young, but by 1942, her films began to flop. Her career was seemingly over by her teen years, and announced her retirement in 1950. This did not stop Temple though, as she began a second career as a public servant. She got involved with the Republican party, ran in a special election, in California, in 1967, but lost. She was then noticed by U.S. Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, who offered her a diplomatic (外交的) position, which she accepted. She served as ambassador (大使) to several countries during her political career under President Gerald Ford, and President George H.W. Bush. On February 10, xx, Shirley Temple passed away at home.

Yes, Im enjoying myself on my exchange program in France. Its even better than I thought it would be. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be. My host family are really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. And you wouldnt believe how quickly my French has improved! Im very fortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesnt make me worried as it used to. My biggest challenge (挑战) is learning how to behave (表现) at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are really not the same as the way they are at home. For example, you shouldnt put your bread on your plate. You should put it on the table! I thought that was very strange at first, but now Im used to it. You shouldnt eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit! (You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.) Another thing is that it is very rude to say youre full. If you dont want any more food, you should just say, “It was delicious.” Also, its rude to put your hands in your lap. You should always keep your hands, but not your elbows (肘部), on the table. I have to say, I find it difficult to remember everything, but Im gradually getting used to things and dont find them so strange any more.Ill write soon and tell you more about life in France.
