题目内容

A friend asks me “Why don't Chinese go Dutch?” So I want to regard this question as the topic and write an article．As everyone knows，westerners will go Dutch while having a meal in the restaurant．But Chinese don't go Dutch．Chinese will pay the bill and check out generously．Westerners don't often entertain guests；but Chinese often invite friends to dinner．A lot of westerners feel puzzled to this question．

Why does there exist such a difference? First of all，food systems between China and West are different．Chinese put into practice Gather Dining System；westerners put into practice Individual Dining System．Everybody can share the delicious food of all over the table when eating Chinese food．Please note it is sharing，but westerners just eat the food in one's own plate．If you eat beef and he eats chicken，it is impossible that you taste the flavor of his chicken．The result of the Individual Dining System is that you can only eat the food in your plate．

So to eat Chinese food is happier than to eat Western-style food．And I want to ask you a question．Do you like the free thing? I think nobody doesn't like the free thing．Ok! Suppose I invite you to eat the delicious Chinese food，then I pay the bill．This is equivalent to that you have enjoyed a delicious Chinese food free．So you will be very glad．It will strengthen the relation between us in the happy atmosphere．

Secondly，westerners eat for the health；Chinese eat for the friendship．Westerners advocate individualism and independence is strong．So westerners express that respect for each other's independence through the way go Dutch．Chinese like making friends and solidarity．Chinese value the interpersonal relationships and the friendship very much．

Third，it is only simple “Have a meal!” for westerners to entertain guests．Unlike the purpose and the means that Chinese entertain guests，in Americans' idea，“Have a meal” definition is to add fuel to the body for keeping health and normal life activity．That is to say，there is not any additional value．In the Chinese idea，“Have a meal” not only is a kind of life enjoyment，but also is the means to promote friendship between the friends．After enjoying the sumptuous delicious food，you are glad，and I am glad too．The friendship between the friends has been strengthened in this kind of atmosphere．

41．What does “go Dutch” mean?

A．They will pay for the meal separately． B．Either part will pay for the meal．

C．They will go to Dutch for a meal． D．They can enjoy a meal free of charge．

42．The differences between Western and Chinese Dinning System lie in the following aspects EXCEPT ．

A．individual and gathering

B．the purpose for health and for the friendship

C．health maintenance and life enjoyment

43．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Westerners will share the food in their plates with each other．

B．Chinese would like the free meal so they never pay the bill．

C．Westerners don't value the friendship so they never pay the meal for others．

44．The underlined word “means” in the fifth paragraph refers to ．

A．the definition of “Have a meal!” B．the way of strengthening the friendship

It was eight hours later that day broke, and then _39_ of the rescue.

It is almost __40__ that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long.

I hated going to school and I hated people 23 at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing 24 and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the 25 and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背).

My friends found me 26 because I didn’t let others get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life 27 Angela appeared.

That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school — a spot where no one would 28 me. That’s when I first heard her voice.

“Hi. Can I sit down?”

I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.

“I bet they’re playing games and making friends. Don’t you think so?”

Then suddenly, she saw my 31 . She just stared.

My heart 32 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would 33 me now.

She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know 34 your back is hunched.”

I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be 35 . I begged in my heart for her to 36 , but she just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”

“No,” I answered 37 .

She bent and whispered in my ears.

“Your back is hunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”

I was 38 . I looked into her eyes and her 39 touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to 40 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.
