Country music is one of the most popular music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events—love，sadness，good times and bad times. It tells real life stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated (复杂)，it is good to hear music about ordinary people.

Country music，sometimes called country western，comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the Eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the West. The singers usually play guitars，and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World WarⅡ, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps (军营) in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country. Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City，among black and white，and among educated and uneducated people. About 1,200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English，and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor southerners is now popular all over the world.

Eat，drink and be merry. That’s what Spring Festival is all about. But there are millions of people，too，who love to let happiness go up in smoke.

Offering cigarettes to guests is a traditional Chinese way of showing respect for them. A cup of tea and cigarettes are perhaps the most common way of welcoming a guest in China，especially during festive occasions.

No wonder,40 percent of the people surveyed recently said they would smoke at least twice the usual number of cigarettes during the Spring Festival because of all those gatherings and parties. Only 20 percent of the respondents said they would refuse a cigarette when offered one. Why can’t the others do the same？Because they could be seen as being rude，said more than half of the respondents. Fifteen percent feared they could be taken as “someone who cannot get along well with others”．

The Think tank Research Center for Health Development and sohu.com survey shows 61 percent Chinese think offering a cigarette is useful for socializing，and 52 percent have offered cigarettes to others. The study surveyed 3,800 people,64 percent of them men.

One third of those surveyed were smokers，out of which 57 percent said they couldn’t give up smoking because of the offering and accepting culture. “People have accepted offering cigarettes as an effective way of making friends，” research center director Wu Yiqun says.

China has more than 350 million smokers，catering to the tobacco market that is worth 500 billion yuan. “The survey shows we still have a lot of work to do，” Wu says. span>“Since Beijing is trying to make the Olympic Games smoke free，it is time to let people know that offering a cigarette is a bad habit and it should be given up immediately.”

Keeping a cool head about fire safety. Sadly, many families lose their homes every year to fires. The causes of these fires vary. Sometimes electrical wiring gets too hot. Sometimes food is forgotten in the oven or a dish towel falls onto a burner.

Sometimes people are careless with matches, candles or cigarettes. Whatever the cause, home fires take families’home, possessions and sometimes even lives.

Heading Off Trouble: There are many things you can do to prevent fires in your home. Do a safety check with your parents. Make sure that all smoke alarms in the house work. Monthly tests are a good idea. Check to see that toasters are unplugged when not used and that towels, curtains and some other flammable(易燃)things are out of the way of the stovetop and oven. Look at the electrical outlets(插座)to make sure that they are in working order and not overloaded. If you have a fireplace, put a strong screen in front of it to keep fires from coming into the room.

The Great Escape: Even with careful checks, fires can still happen. That is why it is important for families to have a fire safety plan. First, plan two escape routes from every room in the house, if possible. That way, if smoke or flames are coming in one way, there is still another choice. Second, agree on an outside meeting place like a tree or light pole so that everyone will know where to go. Finally, practice your fire escape plan at least twice a year. If your home has a second floor, make sure everyone practices, from a first-floor window, how to use a safety ladder to escape.

A fire can be a scary experience, but being smart about fire prevention, having a plan for fire safety and putting the plan into action in the event of fire can save lives.

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

When we are grown-ups, it’s quite natural to look back on our different stages of life and remember who was there to see us through. 16 While some people’s high school friendships gradually end, mine have stuck with me through every bit of life since. And I suppose high school friends are the friends you’ll build the strongest relationships with.

17 Whether it is the bad haircut or the braces(牙箍)you wear, your high school friends help you through it all. They tell you that you look wonderful when you cannot go out in public with that hairdo. 18

They understand the most about you. High school friends know you better than anyone else. They can just look at you and know how you’re feeling. You cannot hide much from them. 19 And they’d rather help deal with the problem at hand than let it go. So even when you don’t want to hear it, prepare yourself — because they’re not going to stop trying until you’re back to your normal self.

They make for the best reunion. Reunions are harder to organize when friends live across the country. However, with high school friends, it’s easy to enjoy the time together — you can often pick up just where you left off, no matter how long ago that was. Friendships can be hard to keep. 20

A. We could depend on our friends all the time.

B. They are with you through your embarrassing stages.

C. They can sense something is off when you’re th slightest bit strange.

D. For me, I often think about my fantastic group of high school friends.

E. They build up your self-confidence to get you through each tough situation.

F. Let’s pray the flower of friendship would always bloom brightly in our hearts.

G. But it never seems like hard work with the ones you’ve known and loved for long.
