events),many of the people you meet will be quiet and polite.Some people may be intolerant, but most will be pleasant and welcoming.Remember that American films and television exaggerate(夸张)in order to
generate excitement, and so present a rather false picture of what life in the United States is really like.
Therefore,tourists in the US are not always on their best behavior.
Americans do tend to be more informal than people from other countries.It is common for Americans
to wear casual clothing to school and to greet professors by first name.However, good manners and
politeness are always appreciated.If you are polite, and dress a little more formally than your American
friends, it will not be poorly thought of.
However,some businesses require their employees to wear a uniform or a suit.It would be improper to wear a Tshirt and blue jeans to a job interview.Some of the more prestigious restaurants require a coat and a tie.Americans tend to dress up for cultural events(the opera,theater and ballet)and to dress down for
athletic events.Formal wear is required at weddings and funerals, or any other event with religion.If you
rely on the stereotypes,you will likely put yourself into an embarrassing situation.
B. you should not believe the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans
C. none of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should be believed
D. none of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should not be believed

person has, there are many positions available. Of course, he must be realistic in choosing a job. If he has a physical disability, he should look for a job in which he can use his skills and abilities.
Some larger companies have programs for hiring people with disabilities. It is a good idea to get into
touch with them, as they are much more enthusiastic to hiring people with disabilities due to their positive
past experiences. Some disability-support groups may have lists of companies that have been helpful in the past, have a history of hiring disabled people or know of some working positions that are open to disabled people.
When talking with an employer about the job, one must be very honest. He should tell the employer
about his disability. It is also important to know whether there are any sorts of" tools or new technology
that could help a person with a disability do a job. For instance, when working with computers, there is
special software that allows one to tell it what to write instead of having to type it. Or a new type of
wheelchair that allows one to do his job easier would also be a very good investment as it may be the key
to getting a job. It is very important for a disabled person to realize that he should not suffer mistreatment
of any kind from the employer. Although his abilities are slightly different from the majority of other
working people, there is no reason for one to he treated badly. He should ask for a fair salary and fair
treatment.

chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK
University while giving up the nearby Pe king or Tsinghua University; when the highest enroll
ment(录取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48: 1 ,it"s the high
time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
Years ago,the answer certainly would be"Peking or Tsinghua University". But now no one
could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have
gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.
It"s no doubt to call this HK craze(狂热) ,which is even out of the expectation of those
HK universities themselves.
How can HK universities shake the steady founda tions of Peking and Tsinghua and attract
so many mainland students?
First, Hong Kong universities offer large amount scholarship,especially for the top students
who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400 000 HK dollars. Since higher education
has become a kind of heavy burden of many families,it"s easy to understand why the reaction to
the generous offering of HK universities is great.
Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and
carry out bilingual(双语的) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is an other
attraction for mainland students.
Further more,university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as
exchange students.
Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University be calm as before when
facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the
top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement
of education in Cluna.After the awakerung and action taking of main-
land universities,they can perform better together with HK universities.
At least,it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees (学费) are among students" top
concem when they are choosing universities. It"s time to move.
B. Higher education in Hong Kong.
C.The competition between HK University and Peking University.
D. The fatal of mainland universities.
B. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities
C. HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further
study
D. Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation.
B. Mainland universities had better tower their tuition fees and win back the top students.
C. Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.
D.lt may probably cause a complete loss to both sides in the end.
B. didn"t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular
C. have strict enrollment rules and only l out of 48 students can get the chance to study there
D. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities
B. The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.
C. Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge HK universities.
D. Top students should be offered further education free of charge.
long way from their grandchildren.The loneliness of these older people has become an issue that schools
are trying to teach children about .
On a popular teacher"s website, there is a classroom activity to help make children aware of the
implications of the different generations of the same family living far from each other. It"s a story about Mrs. Eiderdown, an elderly lady whose grandchildren have moved to Australia with their parents. She lives
alone and rarely sees her family .
First of all, the children speculate about Mrs. Eiderdown"s life. What does she have for breakfast ?
what does she do all day ?how does she feel about her life ?
One day, Mrs. Eiderdown decides that she wants a pet to keep her company and puts an
advertisement in a local shop window. Then she waits at home to see if anyone will answer her
advertisement .
A tall thin man rings her doorbell. he is holding a cardboard box. Mrs. Eiderdown chats with the man
for ten minutes before she realizes that she hasn"t looked in-side the box to see what the pet is. She can hear a his-sing sound. The children guess what is in the box(a snake). Mrs. Eiderdown thanks the man but
says she doesn"t think the snake is a good idea .
The next time the doorbell rings, there"s a lady on the doorstep, also carrying a cardboard box.In the
bottom of the box, Mrs. Eiderdown sees something black and hairy with eight legs. Again ,the children say what they think it is (a spider). Mrs. Eiderdown thanks the lady for her kindness but says that a spider is
not the sort of pet she has in mind.
At last, the little girl next door brings her a dog .Mrs. Eiderdown"s life improves a lot because of the dog.
more importantly, of course, the little girl, whose own granny lives a long way away, starts to visit
Mrs.Eiderdown more often. This interactive classroom idea has led to a greater awareness among children about the possible loneliness of older people who live quite near them .
B. neighbors help select pets for Mrs. Eiderdown
C. society helps the lonely people in the UK
D. school send pets to the lonely elderly
B. they try to experience her loneliness
C. they try to imagine how she lives
D. they write about her life story
B. the people who offer pets are lady"s neighbors
C. the farther the elderly live ,the lonelier they feel
D. the little girl begins to care more about Mrs. Eiderdown
Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they
are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores．Clothes which have been worn
only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion．
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste．Many women spend
large sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn．Women who cannot
afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing their old-fashioned
dresses．Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on．
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society.Fashion
designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用)．
They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will
put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right．There can hardly be a man who
hasn"t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day,
or picking her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes．
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious．Do the constantly changing fashions of women"s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of
inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers．
Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to
decide．
B．because they are capable of predicting new fashions
C．by constantly changing the fashions in women"s clothing
D．because they attach great importance to quality in women"s clothing
B．a waste of time
C．an expression of taste
D．an expression of creativity
B．the women"s strength of character
C．basic qualities of inconstancy and instability
D．an important contribution to society
writer means that ___________．
B．women are better able to put up with discomfort
C．men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
D．men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion
If I could select a word that best describes the majority of American parents, that word
would be guilt-ridden (内疚的). How sad it is to see parents become the willing victims
of the "give me game", only to discover that, no matter what they do, it isn"t enough. In the
end, they are looked down for their lack of firmness and blamed when their spoiled children
get into trouble. With this in mind, I shall first answer this question: "What do parents owe
their children? And I shall start with what they don"t owe them.
Parents don"t owe their children every minute of their day and every ounce of their energy.
They don"t owe round-the-clock car service, singing lessons, tennis lessons, an expensive car
when they reach sixteen, or a trip to Europe when they graduate.
I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education. If they
can afford it, fine. But they must not feel guilty if they can"t. If the children really want to go,
they" II find a way. Here are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and eager who
can"t afford to pay.
After children marry, their parents do not owe them a house or money for the furniture.
They do not have an obligation to baby-sit their grandchildren when the parents were on
vacation. If they want to do it, it must be considered a favour, not an obligation.
In my opinion, parents do not owe their children an inheritance, no matter how much
money they have. One of the surest ways to produce a loafer is to let children know that
their future is assured.
Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.
One of their chief obligations is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for
self-esteem is the basis of a good mental health. Parents owe their children firm guidance
and consistent discipline. Parents owe their children privacy and respect for their personal
belongings.
No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the children something.
And if you give him his due, he"ll have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.
B. parents needn"t feel guilty if they are unable to send their children to college
C. ff they say "No", parents will surely make their children angry
D. parents must support their children even after their marriage
B. a well educated person
C. a hard-working person
D. a lazy person
B. the difference between duties of the parents and the children
C. over devotion to the children results in trouble for the parents themselves
D. children should depend on no one but themselves
B. pitiful
C disappointed
D. satisfied
