I live with my grandmother in a Beijing yard house. One day last year, (1)我惊讶的看到一个外国人从我家隔壁的房子里出来. He was very tall with short brown hair and a pair of glasses. The first time I saw him, (2)I was too shy to speak to him. “My English is too bad!”I thought. My grandmother told me that he had just moved into our yard. “I don’t like it!” she said, "Foreigners aren't like us. Maybe he’ll play loud music and have parties every night! I' m sure he’s going to cause trouble."
Several days later, I met the foreigner as I was walking home after work. "Hello!" he said in Chinese! "My name's Tony. I've just moved into the house next door to yours. “While I was wondering what to say, he continued, "There's a nice bar down the road. Why don’t you and your family come to the bar and have dinner with me? “Bars are bad places," said my grandmother when I told her, but we decided to go. (3)The bar was not at all what I had expected. It was in a beautiful little yard house, with several large bookshelves and pictures of Tibet on the walls. Several Chinese people and foreigners were sitting drinking or reading books. I noticed that some of the foreigners were speaking reading books. I noticed that some of the foreigners were speaking place.

As my friend was passing some elephants,he suddenly stopped.He was confused by the fact that these huge animals were being held by nothing but a small rope.The rope was tied to their front legs. It was       that the elephants could break away from the ropes at any time.But for some         ,they did not.
My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these elephants just stood there and didn't        to get away.
“Well,” he said,“when they are very           and much smaller,we use the same size rope to tie them.At that age,it's enough to hold them.As they grow up,they are used to         that they cannot break away.They believe the rope can       hold them,so they never try to break free.”
My friend was amazed.These animals could at any time break free,      because they believed they couldn't,they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants,how many of us go       life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something,simply because we      at it once before? How many of us are being held back by old,outdated        that no longer serve us?

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸)deeply into both families.
There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides to our friends: It is opposite in America, Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality(好客)at home and enjoy your visit in America!
【小题1】The underlined phrase “pick up” in Paragraph 1 may mean “_______”.

A.keep outB.give upC.pay no attention toD.continue
【小题2】Which of the following is the typical way of American hospitality?        
A.Treating friends at home.
B.Taking days off to be with friends.
C.Meeting friends at the airport at midnight.
D.Sharing everything they have.
【小题3】Which of the following statements in True according to the passage? 
A.Americans are always generous with their time.
B.Americans don’t feel hurt if their friendships disappear soon.
C.Chinese friendships develop more slowly but will never disappear.
D.Chinese friendships are more sincere than American friendships.
【小题4】This passage is most probably written for         .
A.American studentsB.Chinese students
C.Chinese visitors to AmericaD.American visitors to China

One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist in England, I brought David into my office. His face was pale and he looked at his own feet.
David lost his father when he was two years old and lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But when he was 13, his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. His teacher told me that he refused to talk to others from then on.
David didn’t say a word. As he was leaving, I put my hand on his shoulder. “Come back next week if you like.” I said.
He came and I suggested we play a game of chess. He agreed. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon — in complete silence. Usually, he arrived earlier than we agreed. It seemed that he liked to be with me.

Maybe I gave David something. But I learned more from him. I learned that time makes it possible to get over what seems to be painful. David showed me how to help people like him.

Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand , Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different.
People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound. They chose the “new names ” for themselves instead of the names their parents gave them when they were born.
Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.
