【答案】Dear Mr Li,

I am very glad to be a guest of your family. Thank you for accepting me.

As an exchange student, I am eager to know more about your country's culture. And I think the best way to achieve the purpose is to stay with your family and communicate with you. That's why I choose homestay. Moreover, I love Chinese dishes, which play an important part in Chinese culture. Also, homestay will give me more chances to make Chinese friends.

I will be in your home next month. Can you prepare me a separate room? And can I have breakfast or supper with your family members from Monday to Friday?

Looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes!

Yours sincerely

Jim

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
My parents knew their wealth: each other, their six children, and their faith. They tried to live simple lives so that they could have time for what was most important.
They didn't busy themselves buying a bigger house, because that would mean working harder to pay the monthly mortgage(按揭贷款), working overtime or taking a second job. Who would go running with me then? Who would read stories to me?
They didn't burden themselves with buying an expensive car because that would mean worrying about installment(分期付款) bills. Besides, walking to the shopping centre every Saturday afternoon with me gave my dad his needed exercise, and made me feel so special.
One of my heart's delights was seeing Dad and Mom in their bedroom at night, after our nightly family prayer. The lights were turned off, and I'd see the figure of my father seated on his old chair and Mom standing behind him, gently massaging his shoulders. I'd hear them talk about what happened during their day. Even as a child, I sensed their quiet pleasure in being together.
My question today: Could they have done this rich practice each night and nourished(滋润) their marriage if they had been busy paying for expensive clothes for themselves or their kids, or if they had been worrying about monthly bills for new hi-tech equipment? I don't think so. And I've made a choice: I don't want that of life either.

【题目】La Tomatina, Spain

Tomato juice flows through the streets of Bunol on the last Wednesday of August as the world’s largest tomato fight happens. Festivities begin in the town square where there is a huge pole covered in soap and with a leg of ham at the top. Participants try to climb up the pole to get the ham as watchers throw buckets of water to them. After a gun is fired to signal the beginning of the fight, people catch the tomatoes and throw each other in the streets until the gun sounds again, marking the end of the event.

Holi, India

This spring festival is celebrated throughout the country in late February or early March. The two-day event celebrates the legend of Prahlad, who escaped unharmed from the fire of the evil Holika Dahan. People mark the event by lighting fires and throwing colored powder on one another.

Participants set up camp in the desert to celebrate art.

Songkran, Thailand

This festival marks the Thai New Year, which is celebrated in the second week of April.

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
People seem to have a natural need for friends and with good reason. Friends increase your enjoyment of life and relieve feelings of loneliness. They even can help reduce stress and improve your health. Having good friends is especially helpful when you are going through any kind of hard time such as when you are experiencing anxiety, panic(恐慌) attacks, or depression.
When you are with good friends you feel good about yourself, and you are glad to be with them. A friend is someone who —

●respects your need for secrets, so you can tell them anything
●lets you freely express your feelings and emotions without judging, laughing at or criticizing you
●accepts the limitations you have put on yourself and helps you to remove them
A person once said, “Friendship is a continuing source of bonding（连接）, releasing, and creating in yourself and with the other person. There is an emotional bond between the two people.”
A good friend or supporter may or may not be the same age or the same sex as you, and may not have the same educational, cultural, or religious background, or share interests that are similar to yours. Friendships also have different depths(深度). Some are closer to the heart and some more superficial, but they're all useful and good.

【题目】Nisha Pradhan is worried. The recent college graduate just turns 21 and plans to live on her own. But she’s afraid she won’t be able to stay safe. That’s because she isn’t able to smell.

Back home, her family do her smelling for her. She’s moved in with them for now, but she’s looking for a place of her own. “Now that I’m searching for ways or place to live as an independent person, I find that the sense of smell is important to how we live our lives,” Pradhan says.

She says when she was a child she liked to eat and ate a lot. But there came a point where she lost interest in food.

“One of the first things that people notice whenever they have a smell problem is that food doesn’t taste right any-more,” says Beverly Cowart, a researcher. That’s because eating and smell go hand in hand. How food tastes often relies on what we smell. “When you lose your sense of smell, your whole sense of food flavor s changed and reduced,” Cowart says, “You can still taste the basic tastes. What you’re missing are the small distinctions.”

“When I go out to eat I have often found that that food is very tasteless to me. I never feel full,” she says. “I think a lot of us today like to pretend to be food lovers and we all like to talk about ‘Oh, I think this could use a little bit more flavor,’ or ‘I think this has a hint of meat,’ I can’t really participate in those conversations,” she says.

Pradam thinks her smell loss also may have affected her memory. Pradhan may be on to something, according to biologist Paul Moore. “When smell signals come in, you feel about them first. And then you think about it and then the memory is laid down. So without the feel part, the thinking about its part doesn’t come. And that means no new smell memory gets created.”

【1】What problem does Pradhan meet with at present?

A. That she has no sense of smell.

B. That she doesn’t have her own house.

C. That she lacks life skills to live alone.

D. That she is too nervous to live alone.

【2】What can we infer from what Beverly Cowart said?

A. People with a smell problem have no food tastes.

B. Lack of smell sense makes eating a dull experience.

C. Different food tastes the same for people of smell loss.

D. People feel hungry easily for lack of smell sense.

【3】When eating out, Pradhan_______.

A. has a sense of being full quickly B. often has a good appetite

C. pretends to have good smell sense D. feels left out sometimes

【4】What does the underlined sentence mean?

A. Pradhan may be crazy. B. Pradhan may be foolish.

C. Pradhan may be right. D. Pradhan may be forgettable.
