When we were seated, my dad asked the waitress if there were any soldiers eating at the restaurant. Then waitress said there was a soldier having dinner with his friend. My dad told the waitress to tell the soldier and his friend that their dinner was paid for! He also said that he did not want to be known as the benefactor(施主).Then waitress later mented on my dads thoughtful behavior saying that she had never seen anything like this before. At a local college, she had studied opera and so she used this to thank my dad by performing a piece from The Pearl Fisherman. Her voice brought me to tears because it sounded perfect!After a while, the soldier appeared at our table (I dont know how he knew my dad paid the bill for him.) and said that he would be sent to the front the next morning and that he could not leave this country without saying “thanks” to my dad. My dad replied that it was he who wanted to say “thanks”. They shook hands as the soldier left.Before we left, the waitress came by again. She did a magic show as another way to show her “thanks” to my dad. Her show was really great. My dad left her a note with email address asking for her next performance time in addition to a $ 50 tip.Everyone witnessed something exemplary(可作榜样的) in the human spirit that night.

The passage mainly tells us that we should _ _.A. find ways to thank others B. learn to be grateful to othersC. try to learn from each other D. respect soldiers and waitressesBWhen you have a question about something, where do you go? For many people the answer is simple as they can go online to a search engine like Google or Yahoo. But what about people in rural or underdeveloped areas who may have no way to get on the Internet? A business and international development professor in California, Rose Shuman, found an answer for them Question Box. Question Box is a service that provides answers-free of charge-for people who cannot search the Internet directly. The users of Questions Box might be those who might not be able to read, or simply have no access to the Internet. Question Box began three years ago in India. People used a metal call box with a push-to-talk button to connect a live operator. Rose Schuman explained,” You just need to push a big green button on the box which will connect you directly to our operators who are sitting in front of puters, and speak your language. You can ask them any sort of question you want, and theyll look it up in English or in Hindi, or whatever the main language is, and translate the answer back for you.” The service is currently offered in two villages. The latest version of the box uses mobile phone technology, and solar panels in case the electrical power fails. Rose Shuman says the aim was to make the box as easy as possible for users, “It is very efficient (效率高的). Rather than try to bring a lot of difficulties to them and expect them to spend a lot of time to learn how to use the Internet, the idea was to make a technology that even Grandma could use.” In April xx, Question Box was introduced to Uganda. Forty munity workers with mobile phones connected villagers to call center operators in Kampala. The munity workers went around telling people about the service. They wore T-shirts that said “Ask me.” But Internet service in Uganda proved slow and undependable. So Question Box teamed up with a local technology pany to store information on a local server. That way, the researchers in Kampala could quickly search the database for answers.5. The best title for the passage is _. A. Question Box - taking the place of the Internet B. Needing an answer? - asking Question Box C. Question Box - a great invention in the world D. Rose Shuman - a professor helping the poor6. In Rose Schumans opinion, the greatest advantage of Question Box is that_. A. it is the most advanced in the world B. it is more convenient to carry. C. it saves much more energy D. it is much easier to use 7. The underlined word “them” in the fourth paragraph refers to_. A. the users B. the operators C. the researchers D. Question Box workers8. What can we know from the passage? A. Question Box costs the users much less than the Internet. B. Question Box operators can look for information in any language. C. Question Box is more efficient in solving problems in underdeveloped areas. D. Question Box can work without the help of the Internet in Uganda.CBelow is adapted from an English dictionary.

This is why its possible to bee a US citizen without speaking English. Canada also has French as an official language, though it is mostly spoken in the province of Quebec. Because many British colonialism (殖民主义) has spread English all over the world, and it is still popular in South Africa, India, and Singapore, among other nations. In South Africa, English became an official language, along with Afrikaans and 9 African languages, in the 1996 constitution. However, only 3% of the countrys 30 million people are native English speakers. Twenty percent are descendants (后代) of Dutch farmers who speak Afrikaans, and the rest are native Africans. India became independent from Britain in 1947. However, today English and Hindi are the official languages. Indian English is characterized by treating mass nouns as count nouns, frequent use of the “isnt it?” tag, use of more pounds, and a different use of prepositions. In Singapore, Chinese, Malay and Indian languages all influence the form of English spoken. Everyone is taught English in the school system, but there are a few differences from British English as well. Mass nouns are treated as count nouns, “use to” means usually, and no articles are used before occupations.13. Why can people bee a US citizen without speaking English?A.

Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living.But many colleges do not offer graduate studies. Another difference is that universities are generally bigger. 18 Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities.Modern universities developed from those of Europe in the Middle Ages. The word “university” came from the Latin universities, describing a group of people organized for a mon purpose. 19 . In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study.The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true. 20 . For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within a college or university.
