a few words about my experience here in China.If I have 28 with a

I have also noticed that when a Chinese sits at an Americanos dinner party, he very often _3L the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or 32—?This might be good manners in China, but it is certainly not in the West.
In the United States, it is 33 to keep asking someone again and again or press something on him.Americans are very direct.If they want something, they will ask for it.If not, they will say, “No, thanks' Here's an example： When an American is offered 34 by the host, and he doesn't like beer, he will probabl y say, “No, thanks.I just don't feel like it.Fll take some diet Pepsi-Cola if you have it： That is what an American will do.
Americans are taught that "Honesty is the best policy". But in some countries, courtesy（谦虚）might be more important than 35 -So when I am here in China, I have to observe the customs here.But when you go to the United States, you had better “do as the Romans do".

We were moving to a new state after my husband had been out of work for many months and we had no money.In fact, we had to borrow money to reach our destination town.Anyway, it was my husband, 2 boys aged 4 and 2, and myself, 7 months pregnant（怀孕的）,in an old Volvo station wagon（旅彳亍车）.We had been driving for 2 days in the middle of winter （the car's heater didn't work）, and we had taken a route that was very desolate.There was nothing around for miles—no cars, buildings, or signs of civilization.Suddenly, our car started losing power and the gauges^义表）went all out of order.We saw a light in the distance and managed to roll to a stop in front of this property that looked like a small simple house.Our cell phones had not gotten reception
for many miles, and it was freezing outside, so I didn't know if we were going to make it out of this situation alive? My husband got out of the car to see if there was something he could do to get us rolling again, but it was not looking good.A short while later, a man came out of the residence and spoke with my husband a bit before inviting us all into his home.He and his wife took us in，fed us, and made us feel at home as we struggled to find some way to get to our destination, which was still a few hours' drive away.

Twenty-five years ago if you made a trip to the local library and searched for articles on global warming, yoiTd probably come up with a few from the leading magazines in the world.As an Internet search on global warming now shows, the subject has become as rooted in people's mind as Madonna or microwave cooking?
With the possible exception of another world war, a giant planet, or an incurable disease, global warming may be the largest danger to our planet.For decades human factories and cars have sent billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and the climate has begun to show some signs of warming.If steps are not taken soon to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide sent into
the atmosphere, the result could terribly affect human life.We have already seen growing destruction, such as drought and death in Sudan, flooding in Asia，bush fires in Indonesia, and fierce winter storms in central Europe.
The Republic of Maldives is barely above sea level.Its 250, 000 citizens are scattered across L 200 islands in the Indian Ocean.A strong typhoon could spell the end for the entire country, as could continued rising sea levels.The entire population would have to be moved away as the country disappears under the sea?
The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring phenomenon that keeps our planet at a comfortable temperature averaging 60. Since the mid-nineteenth century, however, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased nearly 30% because of the increased use of fossil fuels to run cars, heat homes and power factories.Without controlling, the amount of carbon dioxide by 2100 may increase by 30%?150% and could lift the average global temperature by up to 2.5 in the next 50 years.
40.With the first paragraph, the author intends to _______ ?
A.scold people for not paying enough attention to global warming
B.draw people's attention to global warming
C? how to search for the articles on global warming
D. point out the serious effect of global warming
41 ? Global warming could affect human life in the following ways EXCEPT _______ ■
A.producing more greenhouse gases
B ? causing more floods
C? making winter storms fiercer
D. starting more bush fires
42. The Republic of Maldives _________ ?
A.has moved away their citizens
B.will be more likely to be destroyed by a strong typhoon than by the rising sea level
C? is mostly likely to be destroyed by the rising sea level
D. will have to move away most of their population
43 - Why is the Republic of Maldives especially mentioned in the passage?
A.Because smaller countries are easier to be affected by global warming?
B.Because seaside countries are in danger of disappearing?
C? Because it's necessary to rescue a country before the sea level rises.
D. Because the serious result of global warming could end a whole country-

When a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard, I was one of the first to go
there and pet him.I hadn't touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years.I spent at least 20 minutes, knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around, relaxed.What he was expressing outwardly, I was feeling inwardly.lt was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care.
Over the next few days, there were other prisoners responding to the cat.They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat.These were guys you wouldn't usually find talking to each othe匚Several times I saw an officer in the group, not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners .Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it.
The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape.People said that the cat came to the right place.He's getting treated like a king.This was true, but as I watched I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us.There was a lot of talk about what's wrong with prisons in America.We need more programs.We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds.Some may even talk about making prisons more kind.But I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindness.Not receive it, but give it.After more than two decades here, I know kindness is not a value that^s encouraged.It's often seen as a weakness.Instead, the culture encourages keeping your head down, minding your own business, and never letting yourself be weak.
The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here.By simply saying "I need some help here", he did something important for us.He needed us.And we needed to be needed?

A.showing love to others can make prisoners strong
B.the American prison culture will be improved
C.the author is not content with the prison culture
D? caring for others is encouraged in American prisons

Students' test results, which used to be the only way to evaluate a student in school, make up only 30% of his final score.Instead, how a student performs in class, and how he takes notes and does his homework are also taken into account, each part of which makes up 20%.Besides, teamwork in class is also important, which makes up 10%.If you want a higher score, you should be good at working together with your classmates.
I'm all for the new grading system, which evaluates us students in all fields.By doing so, we students can fully develop our abilities as well as potential on our way to adulthood and can truly make preparations for our future life?

Hunting for a Job on the Internet
Nowadays more and more people would rather look for a job on the Internet than in the newspapers or in a job market.There are many reasons for their preference, one of which is that a
job hunter can find a job convenienily without bothering to get recommendations from relatives or friends, or registration at an employment exchange.Besides, a job hunter can get a job by simply browsing among the ads online and sending resumes by e-mails.Finally, the success rate is very high, and even if one fails to find a job, it can spare him the embarrassment of being refused.
As for me, I believe that with the increasing popularity of the Internet, this new way will win favor among more and more jobless people and laickoff workers for its convenience, efficiency and high success rate.
