However, he sometimes lived in the nearby Willard Hotel.Once, in the middle of a night, the President woke up to see a thief searching his clothes. Coolidge calmly spoke up from the darkness, “I wish you wouldnt take that watch.”“Why?” asked the shocked man.Coolidged answered, “Take it near the window and read what is engraved（雕刻） on the back of it.”The man read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidged, Speaker of the House, by the Massachusetts General Court.” He was very surprised!“Are you President Coolidge?” he asked. He had never thought he would find the president sleeping in a hotel!“Yes, I am.” Coolidge said. Then he asked, “Why are you doing this, Son?”The young man explained that he and two friends traveled to Washington during their college vacation. They spent all of their money and had no money to pay the hotel bill and the train tickets back to school.Coolidge added up the cost. It came to $32. That may not sound like much now, but it was a big number then. “Ill give you the $32 as a loan(借款）,” the President said, “And I expect you to pay me back.”The young man thanked him. Coolidge left him with this warning: “Son, you are a nice boy, you are better than you are acting. You are starting down the wrong road. Just remember who you are.”It wasnt until after the death of Mr. Coolidge that this story was allowed to come out. It was first published in the newspaper Los Angeles Times. And the most interesting of all is that the Presidents notes show that the young man was indeed better than he was acting. He repaid the $32 loan in full.（1）How did the young man get to know the president?_. A . By looking at the back of the watchB . By looking at the loanC . The boss of the hotel told the young man about itD . The presidents wife told the young man about it（2）How did the young man travel to Washington with his friend?_. A . By airB . By busC . By trainD . On foot（3）What can we infer(推理出)from the passage?_. A . The young mans family was always poorB . The hotel cost was rather expensive at that timeC . The young man never kept in touch with the president againD . The young man learned a lesson from his experience with the president（4）How did people first get to know the story of the president with the young man?_. A . From the president himselfB . From a newspaperC . From the young mans notesD . From the young man himself（5）What is the main idea of the passage?_. A . Money can be given up when necessaryB . People should be forgiven（原谅）for their mistakesC . Everyone can become better after an unusual experienceD .

This will be my first trip there. Im worried about correct business behavior and manners. My boss invited me to his home for dinner. Do you have any advice?Sue,MiamiPosted,3 days agoRe: First trip to the USAIts a good idea to bring a small gift or something from your country. Dont be surprised if your boss opens the gift right away. In the USA, people often open a gift when they receive it. In Korea, that is not polite, but its common in the USA.Sam,Los AngelesPosted,2 days agoRe: First trip to the USAAmericans use their hands to eat some kinds of food, such as pizza and fried chicken. Watch your American hosts, and do what they do.Kathryn,New YorkPosted,12 hours agoRe: First trip to the USAIn Korea and Japan, its the custom to remove your shoes before entering a house. In the United States, you usually dont take your shoes off. Once I was travelling in Japan and entered a house with my shoes on by mistake. Oops!Lee,KoreaPosted,2 hours agoRe: First trip to the USAMany Americans are very informal（非正式的）at home. One time I went to an American business partners home for dinner, I was surprised that everyone stood and talked in the kitchen while the husband and wife were cooking dinner. Besides, unlike in Korea, everyone took part in the dinner table conversation, even the mans wife and children.Andrew,WashingtonPosted,1 hour agoRe: First trip to the USAI agree with Lee.

So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs, teachers find students posture (姿势) and attention improve.Dottie Pownall, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, USA, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008. “The students love them”, she says. Pownall took a survey of her students. She found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.The teacher, Pisa Witt, felt so strong about the use of balls as chairs that she started WittFit. This company encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use them. “Our products are used in 24 states, three provinces in Canada, Puerto Rico (波多黎各) and Japan, ” says Witt. “Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter. You can slouch (低头垂肩地坐) on a ball, ” says Witt, “but it feels awful. ” Because when the students are moving, their blood (血液) increases. That carries more oxygen (氧气) to the brain (大脑), so the kids have more energy and can focus longer.“Furthermore, theyre fun. ” says Pownall.（1）What will happen if a student sits on a chair all day in school? The student will _.A . pay more attention to his lessonsB . be funC . like to move aroundD . sit up straighter（2）How long has Dottie Pownall used the balls?A . Since December 2008.B . For only one year.C . In 2008.D . Since she was a fifth-grade teacher.（3）In how many countries are the balls used as the students chairs?A . Four.B . Three.C . Two.D . One.（4）Teachers choose balls instead of chairs because sitting on balls helps the kids _.A . improve their posture and attentionB . slouch on the chairsC . have funD . Both A and C are correct answers（5）Which is better for kids to study in class, sitting on a chair or sitting on a ball?A . Sitting on a chair.B . Sitting on a ball.C . They are the same.D . We dont know.16. （10分）阅读短文，根据短文内容填空。(John, one of the exchange students, wants to buy something in Beijing. But he doesnt know where to go.
