I was 14 when Mr. Ingram hired me as a farmhand. It was the first time I was actually for work. One day Mr. Ingram found an old truck that was in the soft, sandy soil of our field. It was full of melons that someone had tried to 38 from our farm before his truck got caught in the mud.

Mr. Ingram explained that the truck’s owner would be soon, and he wanted me to watch and learn. It wasn’t long a local guy with a terrible reputation for fighting and stealing showed up with his two fully-grown sons. They looked really .

Calmly Mr. Ingram said, “Well, I see you want to some watermelons from us.”

There was a long before the man answered, “Yeah, I guess so. What are you for them?”

“Twenty-five cents each.”

“Well, I suppose that would be enough if you help me get my truck out of here,” the man said.

It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer, and an awful, perhaps violent incident had been . After they left, Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me, “Son, if you don’t forgive your , you’re going to run out of friends.”

I love camping. It’s my favorite way to spent the summer vacation. Last year, my family and I went camping in the countryside. It was one of the most excited experiences I had never had. We slept in a tent and went for a long walk every day. We cook over a fire and the food always tasted wonderfully. For a whole week, I saw lovely mountain views or breathed fresh air. At the night, I heard the gentle wind blowing in the tree, and I felt so peaceful. It doesn’t cost many to camp, and I believe it’s the best way to get close nature and enjoy its beauty.

 

If you’re planning on traveling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.

First of all, always check and double-check departure (起程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.

The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency(货币) with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing.

The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suit and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.

1.Where is the writer most probably from?

A. Italy B. The USA C. Britain D. Greece

2.According to the passage, the driver was angry because_______.

A. the author gave him false (假的) money

B. the author did not give him the local money

C. the author offered to pay by credit card

D. the author had no enough change

A. The author tells people to choose warm places as their travel destinations.

B. You don’t have to take credit cards when traveling.

C. You should know more about the weather of the place you’ll visit.

D. It’s unnecessary to check the departure time carefully.

4.The writer mainly tells us ______.

A. how to make life easier

B. how to be well prepared for a trip

C. how to enjoy ourselves on trip

D. how to plan our trip

 

I have happy memories of trips to Europe, but my trip to Romania was unique. My husband was born there, but his family sent him to study in Italy. He hasn’t seen his family since he was 16.

When we reached Bucharest, his family was waiting outside to greet us. After a lot of hugging, kissing, and crying, his family also embraced (拥抱) me, the American wife with two young children. They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time, and most Romanians had little chance to travel. His family loved our gifts. We made trips to the Black Sea and the Carpathian Mountains. Eating at outdoor cafes to the sound of gypsy violins was very different, but nothing was as unforgettable as family dinners.

Most Romanian homes had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers. It was a hot summer. My husband’s relatives didn’t want to risk dirtying their clothes. Their solution was as simple as it was surprising: The women had dinner in their bras (文胸) and slips (衬裙). The men were shirtless. They all had jobs, so time was precious. Disrobing (脱去衣服) for dinner was a small inconvenience compared with the effort of doing laundry – at least in their household, and perhaps all across Romania. I washed my clothes by hand and hung them outdoors to dry. I, of course, having just met them, ate fully clothed.

On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large family dinner. I was tired of washing my clothes. So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me. The table applauded. Even with my poor Romanian, I understood that they were saying: “She’s part of our family now.”

A. Most of his family members didn’t travel a lot at the time.

B. Women in his family had dinner in only their underclothes.

C. Most of her husband’s relatives didn’t like doing laundry.

D. They had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers at home.

3.On the last night of the author’s stay, the family applauded her because _____.

A. the author disrobed for dinner as the family did

B. they just wanted to show their love for the author

C. the author could finally understand them easily

D. it was time for the author to give a speech

 

One day a teacher was giving her young students a lesson on how the government works . She was trying to explain the principle of income tax (收入税).

Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence

*Walk Faster

One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk. People with confidence walk quickly. They have places to go, people to see, or important work to do. Even if you aren’t in a hurry, you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step. 1.

* 2.

One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech. Unluckily, opportunities to listen to a great speaker are few. You can fill this need by creating a personal commercial. Write a 30-60 second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals. Then recite it in front of the mirror aloud whenever you need a confidence push.

* Sit in the Front Row

In schools, offices and some other public places, people always sit at the back of the room. 3.. This reflects a lack of self-confidence. By deciding to sit in the front row, you can get over this meaningless fear and build your self-confidence

* Speak Up

During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they’re afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid 4.. By making an effort to express your opinions at least once in every group discussion, you will become a better public speaker, more confident in your own thoughts and recognized as a leader by your peers(同龄人)

* Work Out

Along the same lines as personal appearance, physical fitness has a huge effect on self-confidence. 5. By making your body fit and strong. You improve your physical appearance, refresh yourself, and accomplish something positive.

A.Listen to an Inspiring Speech

B.Create a Personal Speech

C.In fact most people feel good after a walk.

D.Most people prefer that because they are afraid of being noticed.

E.In fact most people are dealing with the same fear.

F.Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important.

G.If you’re out of shape, you’ll feel insecure, unattractive, and less energetic.

 

I came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.

After the accident my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.

But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.

My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.

Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.

C. ask for a price D. claim
