7.Different peoples have different religions and cultures because of the different places they live and their different traditions and customs and history.
While Europe and the United States of America are considered the Western World,it's good to know there are some differences in culture.If you are considering moving to a European country,you will find the information below helpful as you plan your move.
One cultural difference is how the countries perceive(认知)time and space.For example,a house in the United States that is 200 years old would be considered ancient.This is probably because America is a fairly young country.However,in Europe,something would not be considered ancient unless it was at least 2,000 years old.However,perception of distance seems to be the opposite.While Europeans would consider 100 kilometres a long way to drive,Americans would not think twice.This could be due to the fact that Europe is smaller and more heavily populated.In fact,the United States is over twice the size of Europe.
Cars are another factor that differs greatly between Europe and the United States.American automobiles usually have automatic transmissions(自动变速器)while European cars generally have manual gears(手动变速器).European automobiles are smaller and more round-shaped,while American cars are larger and more square-shaped.Trucks and limousines(豪华轿车)are vehicles that Americans enjoy.In Europe,however,these types of vehicles are hardly seen,as they prefer smaller cars due to parking and traffic congestion.
The view of education is another cultural difference between the European countries and the United States.In America,parents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college.Most schools and universities in Europe,however,are free of tuition.In fact,children are expected to attend college there.

25.The author wrote the second paragraph mainly toC.
A.tell the differences between Europe and America
B.advise people to travel to Europe and America
C.introduce the topic of this passage to the readers
D.persuade people to live in a European country
26.Which of the following shows the Americans'perception of time?A
A.An ancient house has a history of 200 years.
B.Europe has been at least 2,000 years old.
C.A hundred kilometres is a long way to drive.
D.It is proper to drive a distance of 100 kilometres.
27.It can be concluded from the last paragraph thatD.
A.Americans are richer than Europeans
B.Americans work harder than Europeans
C.the children in Europe needn't go to school
D.it costs Americans a lot of money to go to college
28.The author develops this passage byC.
A.arguingB.persuadingC.comparing    D.doubting.

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.

Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk,I went to a friend.He looked at me for a moment,and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I've ever had: Be bold and brave—and mighty(强大的)forces will come to your aid.

Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past,it was seldom because I had tried and failed.It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.On the other hand,whenever I had plunged into deep water,forced by courage or circumstance,I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat.And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.They are potential powers we possess: energy,skill,sound judgment,creative ideas—even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

Admittedly,those mighty forces are spiritual ones.But they are more important than physical ones.A college classmate of mine,Tim,was an excellent football player,even though he weighed much less than the average player. "In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player,who had nothing but me between him and our goal line," said Tim. "I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet—and stopped him cold."

Boldness—a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight.But it can be taught to children and developed in adults.Confidence builds up.Surely,there will be setbacks(挫折)and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee(保证)of success.But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

So,always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you'll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

2.What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?

A. Swallow more than you can digest. B. Act slightly above your abilities.

C. Develop more mysterious powers. D. Learn to make creative decisions.

3.What was especially important for Tim's successful defense in the football game?

A. His physical strength. B. His basic skill.

C. His real fear. D. His spiritual force.

4.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?

A. To encourage people to be courageous.

B. To advise people to build up physical power.

C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.

D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.

There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.

Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.

But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide (自杀)statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.

Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the word's top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. “Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 53-year-old doctor, “such as better health, education and future work expectation. But most important is the quality of family-life. Money can't buy love.”

It can buy a lot of other things, though, and that's where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents' over favoring can make them spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.

“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-confident.”

Today's rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children. So they do their best to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.
