I have been blessed with the opportunity in my life. It took the near-death experience of my dad to make me realize that my purpose in life is to others. My dad suffered from leukemia(白血病) in 1998. the pain and treatment that he put up with inspired me to be a more kind and person. I realized life is just too and it was time for me to make some changes — do the things in life that I wanted to do without making why I couldn’t do them.

My dad a bone marrow transplant(骨髓移植) operation, and after that he was able to reuse his own “cleaned” marrow, so a donor(捐献者) was not needed. That was excellent because donors who are a match are hard to come by. That me to become a bone marrow donor and hopefully help someone else one day. I also money for the cancer patients. Yet, I was not satisfied with just that. I had to do more, I blood every other month and seek opportunities to do other acts of kindness daily. The opportunity, some days, presents itself very and some days I have to seek it out. Either way, it comes.

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence.When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email,I laughed.I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.

Obviously,it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on,my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting.I was too thrilled to believe her.Her words could not convince me at all.So I did a research on google.com.To my surprise,there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.” This sentence has been widely used in emails,letters,newspapers,movies,books,or any other possible places.Though it is sort of informal,it is part of the language that Americans use daily.Ironically,if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word,the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.

Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence.Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies.In the 1930s,Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens.Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius.“Long time no see” was his trademark.Soon after Charlie Chan,“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.

Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew.All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together,and they change the color and taste of each other.American Chinese,though a minority ethnic(少数民族的成员) group in the United States,is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.

You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese,such as pizza from Italian,susi from Japanese,and déjà vu from French etc.There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others.They will modify it and make it their own,so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant,or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store.Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays,I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future.In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor.

B.“Long time no see” used as standard American English

4.The main idea of the passage is that ______.

A.some Chinese expressions are introduced into English

5.According to the passage,which of the following statements is not true?

D.There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew.

 

A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly,courteous 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 diversion,and brought news of the outside world.The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality.

Someone traveling alone,if hungry,injured,or ill,often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement.It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers.It reflected the harshness 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 weary 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 trails.“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.

A.rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US 

B.small-minded officials deserve a serious comment

2.It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ___________.

A.culture exercises an influence over social interrelationship 

B.courteous convention and individual interest are interrelated

C.various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friends 

D.social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions 

3.Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers ___________.

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 

4.The tradition of hospitality to strangers ___________.

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 trails 

5.What’s the author’s attitudes toward the American‘s friendliness?

[1]E-mail may be the most important, unique method for communicating and developing relationships since the telephone.First of all, ____________.Anyone who can use a word processor can also write an e-mail message without difficulty.Secondly, it saves time and money.It costs nothing more than your time.No paper expense, no postage and no envelope expense.People also find it familiar and safe because it is similar in many respects to writing letters but avoids the annoyances of addressing envelopes, licking stamps, and trips to the mailbox.
