1．A report brought back by most visitors to the US is how friendly，polite，and helpful most Americans were to them．To be fair，this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians，and should best be considered North American．There are，of course，exceptions．Small-minded officials，rude waiters，and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US．Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment．
For a long period of time and in many parts of the country，a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence．Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another．Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of distraction，and brought news of the outside world．
The tough realities of the border also shaped this tradition of hospitality．Someone traveling alone，if hungry，injured，or ill，often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest settler agent．It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers．It reflected the hardship of daily life：if you didn't take in the stranger and take care of him，there was no one else who would．And someday，remember，you might be in the same situation．
Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the exhausted traveler．Yet，the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US，especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist routes．"I was just traveling through，got talking with this American，and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner-amazing．"Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon，but are not always understood properly．The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial）nor as artificial，but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition．
As is true of any developed society，in America a complex set of cultural signals and customs is the basis of all social interrelationships．And，of course，speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns．Visitors who fail to"translate"cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions．For example when an American uses the word"friend"，the cultural meanings of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor's language and culture．It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to tell polite customs from individual interest．Yet，being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers．
32．In the eyes of visitors from the outside world，D．
A．rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US
B．small-minded officials deserve a serious comment
C．Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors
D．most Americans are ready to offer help

B．polite customs and individual interest are inter-related
C．various virtues shows themselves only among friends
D．social inter-relationships equal the complex set of cultural customs
34．Families in border settlements used to entertain strangersC．
A．to improve their hard life                  
B．in view of their long-distance travel
C．to add some flavor to their own daily life     
D．out of a charitable impulse
35．The tradition of hospitality to strangersB．
A．tends to be superficial and artificial               
B．is generally well kept up in the United States
C．is always understood properly        
D．has something to do with the busy tourist route．

20．Something in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines，say UK researchers．
Their study found that theobromine，found in cocoa，was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine，which was considered the best cough medicine at present．
The Imperial College London researchers who published their results online said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatment．"While coughing is not necessarily harmful，it can have a major effect on the quality of life，and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem，"said Professor Peter Barnes．
Ten healthy volunteers were given theobromine，codeine or placebo，a pill that contains no medicine，during the experiment．Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill．The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin，which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicine is stopping coughs．
The team found that，when the volunteers were given theobromine，the capsaicin needed to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group．When they were given codeine they need only slightly higher levels of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with the placebo．
The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a nerve activity （神经活动），which causes coughing．They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments，theobromine caused no side effects such as sleepiness．
24．According to Professor Barnes，theobromineD．
A．cannot be as effective as codeine
B．can be harmful to people's health
C．cannot be separated from chocolate
D．can be a more effective cure for coughs
25．We learn from the text that volunteers in the experimentB．
A．were patients with bad coughs
B．were divided into three groups
C．received standard treatments
D．suffered little side effects
26．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？
A．Codeine：A New Medicine
B．Chocolate May Cure Coughs
C．Cough Treatment：A Hard Case
D．Theobromine Can Cause Coughs．
1．′′′Why You Should Celebrate Your MistakesWhen you make a mistake，big or small，cherish（珍视） it like it's the most precious thing in the world，because in some ways，it is．
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes，beat ourselves up about it，feel like failures，get mad at ourselves．
And that's only natural：most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad，that we should try to avoid mistakes．We've been scolded when we make mistakes at home，school and work．Maybe not always，but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction．
Yet without mistakes，we could not learn or grow．If you think about it that way，mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world：they make learning possible； they make growth and improvement possible．
By trial and error-trying things，making mistakes，and learning from those mistakes-we have figured out how to make electric light，to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel，to fly．
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler，make speech possible，make works of genius possible．
Think about how we learn：we don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it．You don't just read about painting，or writing，or computer programming，or baking，or playing the piano，and know how to do them right away．Instead，you get information about something，from reading or from another person or from observing usually…then you construct a model in your mind…then you test it out by trying it in the real world…then you make mistakes…then you revise the model based on the results of your real-world experimentation and repeat，making mistakes，learning from those mistakes，until you've pretty much learned how to do something．That's how we learn as babies and toddlers，and how we learn as adults．Mistakes are how we learn to do something new，because if you succeed in something，it's probably something you already knew how to do．You haven't really grown much from that success---at most it's the last step on your journey，not the whole journey．Most of the journey was made up of mistakes，if it's a good journey．
So if you value learning，if you value growing and improving，then you should value mistakes．They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible．
29．Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes？C
A．Because mistakes make us suffer a lot．
B．Because it's a natural part in our life．
C．Because we've been taught so from a young age．
D．Because mistakes have ruined many people's careers．
30．According to the passage，what is the right attitude to mistakes？C
A．We should try to avoid making mistakes．
B．We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes．
C．We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn．
D．We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction．
31．The underlined word"toddler"in Paragraph 6probably meansA．
A．a small child learning to walk             
B．a kindergarten child learning to draw
C．a primary school pupil learning to read     
D．a school teenager learning to write
32．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．most of us can really grow from success  
B．growing and improving are based on mistakes
C．we learn to make mistakes by trial and error
D．we read about something and know how to do it right away．
