A
I took a journey to New York, US several months ago. It was the first time I had
been abroad. It was also the first time I had taken a trip by myself. I had great
enthusiasm and high hopes, and I wasn't let down.
It’s hard to describe how I felt when I arrived at the airport in New York. Looking
at people of different races and nationalities passing by and hearing different languages
all around me, I couldn’t say anything for a long time. I had never understood the
cultural diversity of the US so clearly and closely before.
The following days were even more impressive. We integrated(融入)into the
forest of concrete and cement(混凝土和水泥).We waved to the Statue of Liberty; we
looked down at the busy island of Manhattan; we looked at well-known
universities—Harvard of ancient Egypt.
Then we visited some well-known university—Harvard, Yale, Princeton and
Columbia—each with its own appealing and time-honored history. But what all these
universities have in common is their peaceful academic atmospheres which you could
feel everywhere. I was impressed by the libraries, decorated just like cathedrals(教堂),
and the laboratories just next to the classroom. My dream is to return to those places as
an international student.
Finally came our destinations—the Model United Nations conference at the
University of Chicago. Students from various countries arrived to act as United Nations
delegations and share their opinions about global issues.
As a non-native speaker, I felt that competing against native speakers was a very
tough task. But it was also a rare change to improve my English and I couldn’t throw it
away. With perseverance and devotion, I got used to talking to other delegations
naturally. Although I didn't win any awards, the chairman praised me at the closing
ceremony for my excellent performance. That made me feel really proud.
This trip brought me unforgettable and valuable experiences that will benefit me
forever.

While small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly
when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.
The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago
to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants.
Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly
any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.
But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average height
of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and
chairs has remained unchanged.
“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using
it, so even a king-size bed at 6′6″(6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men,
while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for less than half of the male population.” Said
TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, “seven-foot beds would work fine.”
Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which
mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall
customers go elsewhere.
Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses′ Caledoman
Hotel in Edinburgh, 6′6″beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds
from taller visitors, particularly Americans.
5. What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?
A. To provide better services.
B. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.
C. To rebuild hotels and restaurants.
D. To attract more people to become its members.
6. Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?
A. 7′2″. B. 6′3″ C. 6′6″ D. 7′
7.What may happen to restaurants with small tables?
A. They may lose some customers.
B. They may start businesses elsewhere.
C. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.
D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.
