When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike, but I knew there was little hope because my family could 36 have that money.
On my birthday, my parents told me they had my 37 outside in the back yard. At once I 38 out to the yard. There was my bike, 39 it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. I thought I 40 my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment 41 their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I got on the old bike and rode it, feeling 42 that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.
As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me 43 much more than just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about 44 . When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this 45 because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that costs two dollars isn’t any less valuable than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.

【小题1】

A．talked

Going to a friend’s house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.
When to arrive
The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3:00”, that means you can turn up a little bit after 3:00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.
What to bring
Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.
How to greet (问候)
When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr. or Mrs. Smith. This will show them more respect (尊重) and then they may tell you to call them by their first names. Another way to show respect is to call them Madam or Sir.
It is a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend and your friend’s parents, and you will be invited again!
【小题1】If you are told to get to your friend’s house around 5:00 p.m., it is polite to arrive at_____

【小题2】When the writer was a child, he called his friend’s father _____.

【小题3】The passage mainly (主要) tells us _____.

A．when to arrive at your friend’s house

B．how to greet people

C．what to bring to your friend

D．how to be a good visitor

An American friend has invited you to visit his family. You’ve never been to an American’s home before, and you’re not sure what to do. Should you take a gift? How should you dress? What time should you arrive? What should you do when you get there? Glad you asked. When you’re the guest, you should just make yourself at home. That’s what hospitality(款待) is all about: making people feel at home when they’re not.
The question of whether or not to bring a gift often makes guests squirm（难为情）. Giving your host a gift is not just a social manner in some cultures-it’s expected. But in American culture, a guest is not necessary to bring a present. Of course, some people do bring a small present to their host to show their thanks. The right gifts for the host might be flowers, candy, and you can bring toys if the family has small children. If you choose not to bring a gift, don’t worry. No one will even notice.
