When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van(住房汽车)A small car can hold four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded. A van hold seven persons easily, so a family three children could ask their grandparents to go on a holiday travel. They could all travel together.Mr.Hagen and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and buy a van. In the van, the sixth and seventh seats are used to put other things, for a family of five must carry many suitcases(衣箱)when they travel.

You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will jump back. But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have the balance in your life. How?Dont look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.Dont let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.Dont give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Dont be afraid of difficulties. We learn how to be brave by taking chances.Dont shut love out of your life by saying its impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地), the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Dont run through life so fast that you forget not only where youve been, but also where you are going.Dont be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.Dont use time or words carelessly. You cant get them back.

Services such as hospital and transport(交通) are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt(尘土) of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They dont want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.So they move out of the cities. Some dont go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They dont make so much money and there isnt much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and arent always very friendly.As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. “Its wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,” they say.（1）Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China? A . The countryside is much poorer than the city.B . People in the countryside have nothing to eat.C . People in the countryside dont have much work to do there.（2）Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside? A . Because they will find good jobs.B . Because they are tired of living in the city.C . Because they can make more money there.（3）After moving to the countryside, some people in Europe feel unhappy because.

Never ask how much the house or any of the items in it cost.To the American，most of them want their home to be a place where they can entertain (款待) and share their lives with their friends. They may be delighted to give you a full tour of their houses. They may also be pleased when you show your interest and pleasure in their houses.Both British and American people will engage in quite a bit of chat and a drink or two before the meal is served. After the first mouthful, you should say how delicious the food is and ask something about it. Remember, never eat with your mouth open and make very little noise while eating. It would be nice of you to help your host in any way. Maybe offer to pour some drinks or clear up after the meal.（1）British people _ invite friends to their home.
