About one year ago, my wife, Mary, got a little dog with a face only a mother could love. We named
her Baby.
Baby is the kind of dog that has to grow on you. So I decided that the dog would be trained. This didn"t
quite go as planned. At 15 weeks old, she was nearly made to leave the Petsmart Training School. She spent
every night lying in our bed-snoring (打鼾) so loudly that I hardly got a good night"s sleep.
Then, about six months after she arrived, I felt that something in my heart was taking place, and I was
unable to stop it. My behavior (行为方式) began to change. I began to smile at people when passing them
in a street. I returned from neighbors. I started calling my kids and, to my surprise, they started calling me.
I even tried to speak to my grandchildren over the phone once. I even was glad to listen to laughter from a
10-month-old granddaughter. The point is that I was changing.
My wife and I both agree that it is Baby who has changed my behavior.
Baby is now nearly one year old and almost fully grown. I have come to like the pet little by little, though
she is my wife"s dog.
B. It looked very beautiful.
C. It wasn"t necessary to be trained.
D. It could change his life.
B. When Baby was nearly one year old.
C. When Baby was 15 weeks old.
D. About six months after Baby arrived.
B. He liked helping his neighbors.
C. He started calling his kids.
D. He spoke to his grandchildren over the phone.
B. The man has become more confident (自信的).
C. The man has become more friendly.
D. The man likes the dog better than his wife.

by words. We send messages to the people around us also by body movements. A smile and handshake
(握手) show welcome. Waving one"s hand is to say "Goodbye." Nodding the head means agreement, while
shaking it means disagreement. In China and some English-speaking countries, these body movements have
the same meanings.
But not all body languages mean the same things in different countries. For example, nodding the head in
some Asian countries means not "Yes." but "No:"
When we speak a foreign language, (2) to know the meanings of the body movements is important in-the
foreign countries. In Russia, France and some of South American countries men kiss (吻) each other when
they meet. Men don"t kiss each other in China or English-speaking countries. In England, older people usually
shake hands when they meet someone for the first time, however, young people don"t shake hands. (3) In
France, people shake hands in the office every morning. French people kiss each other more often than English
people when they meet or leave.

something from collecting stamps to 6 model planes. Some hobbies are very 7 , but others don"t cost
anything at all. Some collections are worth 8 of money, others are valuable only to their owners.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several 9 dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare
fifty-cent piece which 10 him $250! He was very happy about this collection and thought the price was all
right. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them, but I
wonder 11 they are worth any money. However, 12 my brother they are quite valuable. 13 makes him
happier than to find a new match box for his collection.
That"s what a hobby means, I think. It is something we 14 to do in our free time just for the 15 of it.
The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.

| Letter A Dear Mary, I like your programmes very much. I"m now writing to ask you something about American social customs (社交习惯): My American friend wants me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy and have decided to go, but I"m a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, so I"m afraid of making mistakes. Should I bring a present, such as sweet or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork (叉子) or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I"m thankful for their kindness Wang Lin Letter B Dear Wang Lin, It"s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) if you know that your friends drink it. You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don"t get there early. If you"re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them. Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don"t know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do ask the person next to you. If you like the food, say so. Of course, you"ll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It"s also a good idea to send a thank-you card the day after. Mary | |||
