  In a survey of 1,500 European hotel managers, Americans were ranked second, behind the Japanese, as the world's best tourists.In the survey, conducted in April by the online travel site Expedia's German branch, Americans were seen as the most likely to try to speak a foreign language and the most interested in sampling local food.

  Americans came in third, behind the Japanese and British, as the“most polite”tourists, and third, behind the Japanese and Germans, as“best behaved.”And-we're sure this has nothing to do with how the hotel managers view Americans-Americans were ranked far and away as the world's most generous tippers and biggest spenders.

  On the other hand, Americans were seen as the shabbiest dressers, the most likely to complain and the second noisiest.Who's louder? Only the Italians.

  Some of the other findings:Russians were seen as the least polite travelers, followed by the Israelis and French.The stingiest tippers:the Germans, followed by the French and Israelis.

  Italians, by far, were ranked as the best dressers, followed by the French and Spanish.In terms of bad dressing, the British were a distant second to Americans, followed by the Germans.

  Who's the most unwilling to try speaking in a foreign language? The French, the British and the Italians, in that order.

  The Chinese are the most reluctant to sample foreign food, followed closely by-this is strange-the British, whose home cuisine is probably the world's most seriously laughed at(a little unfairly, perhaps.)

  And, finally, the overall award for“worst tourists in the world”goes to the French, with the Indians and Chinese taking home the silver and bronze, respectively.

  Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel.Green said,“Clearly I am the most important.I am the sign of life and hope.I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves.Without me, all animals would   1  .”

  In the midst of the clamor(叫嚷), rain began to speak,“You foolish colors, fighting   14  yourselves, each trying to dominate  15  .Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose,   16  ?Join hands with   17   and come to me.”

  Doing as they were told, the colors   18   and joined hands.They formed a colorful rainbow.From then on, whenever a good rain   19   the world, a rainbow appears in the sky.They remember to   20   one another.

     CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying
along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied
with it and that is why in 1998 and 1999 the company received letters of complaints(投诉) from consumers
or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following
table. This division is called Category. Problems that appear when the plane is flying are Flight problems.
Those about passengers' things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to
service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats
are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail
to receive the money paid to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of
tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
booked. Tours are problems about the passengers'traveling by air or hotel problems. Advertising is what the
passengers think about advertisement on the plane. Credit problems are about the use of credit cards.
