11．One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift．Unlike other gifts，it came without wrap（包装）．
On September 11th.1958．Mum gave birth to Richard．After she brought him home from hospital，she put him in my lap，saying．"I promised you a gift，and here it is．"What an honor!I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own．I played with it day and night．I sang to it．I told it stories.1 told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning，however，I found its bed empty．My doll was gone!I cried for it．Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital．It had a fever．For several days，I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as"hopeless"，"pitiful"，and"dying"，which sounded ominous．
Christmas was coming．"Don't expect any presents this year．"Dad said，pointing at the socks I hung in the living room．"If your baby brother lives，that'll be Christmas enough．"As he spoke，his eyes were filled with tears．I'd never seen him cry before．
The phone rang early on Christmas morning．Dad jumped out of bed to answer it．From my bedroom I heard him say．"What？He's all right？"He hung up and shouted upstairs．"The hospital said we can bring Richard home!""Thank God．'"I heard Mum cry．
From the upstairs window，I watched my parents rush out to the car．I had never seen them so happy．And I was also full of joy．What a wonderful day!My baby doll would be home．I went downstairs．My socks still hung there flat．But I knew they were not empty； they were filled with love!

8．When you are away from home，eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full．Sharing a meal with others is a kind of communication．There is no better way to say，"Glad to meet you…glad to be doing business with you…"
Clearly，mealtime is not the time for you to say"Thanks，but no thanks．"Just consider：What would people in the United States think of a foreign visitor who didn't want to try a bit of homemade apple pie？When you are in a foreign country，saying yes to the food on your plate is important．It means that you accept the host，the country，and the company．That's why most experienced travelers try to eat everything everywhere，even though the dish looks strange．
We often feel uncomfortable with food that we are unfamiliar with．However，food that seems strange in one culture may be a favorite food in another．South China，for instance，there are many restaurants that make dishes from snakes．Sheep's eyeballs may be unfamiliar in some parts of the world，but in Saudi Arabia，they are a choice food．In parts of Colombia，roasted ants are．
Can you refuse such food without being rude？Most experienced business travelers say no．You should at least try a bit of it．It helps，though，to cut things into very thin pieces．This way，you won't notice the appearance or remember where it came from．Or，"swallow（咽下） it quickly，"as one traveler advises．"I still can't tell you what roasted ants taste like．"
Another useful piece of advice is this：It's better if you don't know what you are eating．Don't ask what's for dinner．Avoid looking at the kitchen or looking at restaurant menus．Your host will be very happy because you are eating the food that he or she offers．

Mike looked at the midday sky．He had been working since sunrise and was taking a （21）A．Mike had been working all summer to earn enough money for a new（22）D．His ancient，beaten-up bike was total embarrassment．But his mom said they couldn't （23）C a new one．Even though Mike knew she was （24）B，he shouted back at her in great disappointment，"You never  （25）D me anything!"
He only needed fifty more dollars．Mr．Painter had （26）B him forty dollars to dig a new drainage ditch （排水沟），and he wanted to stop the （27）A in his rose garden．Mr．Painter wanted the new ditch to run parallel to the old one，but Mike didn't think that would be （28）C in heavy rains．So he suggested another plan to （29）B the rainwater away from the house．

12．For many parents，raising a teenager is like fighting a long war，but years go by without any clear winner．Like a border conflict between neighboring countries，the parent-teen war is about boundaries：Where is the line between what I control and what you do？
Both sides want peace，but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict．In part，this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it．From the parents'point of view，the only cause of their fight is their adolescents'complete unreasonableness．And of course，the teens see it in exactly the same way，except oppositely．Both feel trapped．
In this article，I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly appear between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap．The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things．Examples include the color of the teen's hair，the cleanliness of the bedroom，the preferred style of clothing，the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school，or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends．Second，blaming．The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong．Third，needing to be right．It doesn't matter what the topic is-politics，the laws of physics，or the proper way to break an egg-the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong，for both wish to be considered an authority-someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect．Unfortunately，as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other，they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress．

25．Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict？B
A．Because both can continue for generations．
B．Because both are about where to draw the line．
C．Because neither has any clear winner．
D．because neither can be put to an end．
26．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2mean？A
A．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict．
B．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict．
C．The teens scold their parents for misleading them．
D．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents．
27．Parents and teens want to be right because they want toC．
A．give orders to the other                
B．know more than the other
C．gain respect from the other             
D．get the other to behave properly
28．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows？C
A．Causes for the parent-teen conflicts．
B．Examples of the parent-teen war．
C．Solutions to the parent-teen problems．
D．Future of the parent-teen relationship．
9．In my opinion，a red shirt does not match a green tie．
11．We're faced with so many lifestyle choices throughout the day，but how do you know you're making the right ones？Here's what the experts say．
Should I have a bath or shower first thing in the morning？
  Although some people think hot water and soaps dry out the skin，there's no real information to support this unless you have a specific skin condition．Paul Banwell says："In the morning，showers are more refreshing．Leave bathing for the evening when you need to relax before bed．The drop in body temperature following a warm bath tells your body it's time for sleep．"Answer：Shower
Fruit juice or fruit？
"The fiber in fruit makes it far more satisfying and filling with fewer calories．"says Kate．"Fruit juices have the fiber removed and tend to be loaded with sugar，which sends blood sugar levels soaring-and then crashing．"Answer：Fruit
Exercise in the morning or evening？
"Numerous studies show that people are more likely to exercise in the morning，"explains Janey Holliday，fitness instructor．"You probably will have a healthier day-from the food choices you make to how you feel mentally．Finally，while exercise helps you sleep better，working out too late in the evening will actually make it harder for you to sleep．"Answer：Morning
Yell，or walk away and calm down？
"Count to 10．"advises Dr．Cary Cooper，Professor of Health and Psychiatry at Lancaster University．"It's always better to calm down，reflect on why you're angry and think about how you can resolve the issue．If you justblow your top，you won't solve anything．But you must take action．Burying your anger is very bad for your health．"Answer：Calm down
