There was money everywhere! One man said, "The streets were like gold." Some people took off their shirts
and filled them with money.
Police officers went from door to door in the neighborhood. They asked people to return the money. After
six hours, the total returned: zero.
No one in Overtown was surprised. Many people in this town are poor. They need the money to buy food
for their children. They think that God sent the money to them.
The police say this is a serious crime. "People took thousands of dollars. It"s not their money, and they have
to return it." The police also say it"s dangerous to keep the money because everyone knows the story from the
news. People have money in their pockets and their backyards, and other people will try to steal it.
So far, only one person has returned some money. He is a firefighter. He found 300,000 dollars in a bag
and gave it to the police. The people of Overtown still have the rest of the money.
B. a truck
C. a bank
D. a shop
B. 犯罪
C. 损失
D. 德行
B. In their bedrooms.
C. In their backyards.
D. In their sitting rooms.
B. 300,000 dollars.
C. 3.4 million dollars.

to him. I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me.
I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time. I"d been told that Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne
and I sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant and a waitress came and took our order.
The dinner was a great success. I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia and Lynne told me all about herself. After
two hours the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check or two. Lynne said two. We went to
the CASHIER AND Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no
money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I pretended to look for something in my pockets and said,
"Oh! I forgot my money! Can I call my roommate, please?" The cashier showed me where the phone was
and I quickly called my roommate. In a few minutes he arrived with some money, but he couldn"t hide how
he felt. He laughed all the way home.
Now, I think it"s funny too, but at that time I was terribly embarrassed. I thought that an invitation to have
dinner meant the same thing in the United States as in my country. I guess you have to understand that your
customs are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their customs, too.
B. to share the cost of the meal
C. to invite Lynne to dinner
D. to pay the checks
B. the writer telephone him to bring some money to him
C. the writer hadn"t told Lynne the truth
D. the writer would not listen to him when he left the house
B. successfully finished their meal
C. had a talk for two hours
D. traveled to Saudi Arabia together
B. Customs can be entirely different in different countries.
C. Invitations mean the same even in different countries.
D. A good roommate can really help you a lot.
B. Because she didn"t want to do so.
C. Because she thought it was natural for people to pay their own check.
D. Because she wanted to embarrass the writer.
"Look down," Father said. I tried and saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the streets to
the square. "See, Elsa," Father said. "There is more than one way to the square. If you can"t get where you
want to go by one road, try another."
Earlier that day, I asked Mother to do something about what we had for lunch at school. But she didn"t
think the food was as bad as I said. When I turned to Father for help, he brought me to the church.
At school the next day, I filled a bottle with the soup for our lunch and took it home. I told the cook to
pour the soup in a plate and bring it to Mother. She drank it and cried out, "What"s the matter with the soup
today?" I at once told her what I had done, and Mother said that she would take up the matter of lunches at
school the next day.
Now I really understood why Father had taken me to the church. I began to work as a fashion designer
two years ago. I wouldn"t stop working until I tried every day to my goal.
B. see the square
C. show her the way
D. give her a lesson
B. have lunch with her at school
C. talk the matter over with the teachers
D. tell the cook to work harder
B. Because the girl brought something home.

C. it"s difficult to talk to Elsa"s mother.
D. you can"t get what you want easily.
B. she had the idea of bringing the soup home
C. she tried every way to her goal
D. she began her own life as a fashion designer
my birthday until the morning of the 1st. It was just like an ordinary day, no presents, no party, no cake.
When I was 2 , I always felt sad that almost nobody remembered my birthday, not even my family. But
now I don"t 3 any more, especially this year, from my birthday to next day, not much 4 . This month
I have several foreign students 5 Chinese with me. I give lessons privately, so I need to do quite a lot
of work before each lesson. So far I"m getting more 6 in teaching foreigners Chinese, and I think it"s a
very cool job. When I was at 7 , I wanted to follow these native English speakers. They can 8 to
foreign countries and get teaching jobs easily almost anywhere even though they"re not real teachers. I
complained Chinese people didn"t have as many chances as people from the West. But now things are 9 .
As China is becoming stronger, Chinese is becoming more and more 10 and maybe in the future I can get
teaching jobs in foreign countries. I"ll study more and get ready.
