17．When you read a story in English，do you read it for the story （61）or for the English？This is a question （62）thatis not so （63）foolish（fool） as it may seem，for I find that many students of English pay far more attention to the story than to the English．For example，they care for （64）how the mystery（谜） in the story （65）is solved（solve），but do not remember a single sentence in the story and cannot tell what preposition（介词） is used before （66）a certain word in the speech of a certain character．
Of course，if you want to know the story only，you need not bother （麻烦） about the language．But a student of English is different （67）froma student of stories or what is called the general reader．As you may also have learned from the above，you ought to read not only very carefully but also aloud （68）till/until you learn the passage by heart and can recite it as if it （69）were（be） your own．On （70）one hand，this will teach you many useful words and phrases； on the other hand，it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in expression．

4．America is a mobile society．Friendships between Americans can be close and real，yet disappear soon if situations change．Neither side feels hurt by this．Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two，perhaps a few letters for a while-then no more．If the same two people meet again by chance，even years later，they pick up the friendship．This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand，because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings，extending （延伸） sometimes deeply into both families．
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes，share their holidays，and their home life．They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality （好客） easily．
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives，they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time．This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time．Sometimes，we，as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend．We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends．The Americans，however，express their welcome usually at homes，but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine．They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus．And they expect that we will phone them from there．Once we arrive at their homes，the welcome will be full，warm and real．We will find ourselves treated hospitably．
For the Americans，it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants，except for purely business matters．So accept their hospitality at home!
56．The writer of this passage must beB．
A．an American   B．a Chinese    C．a professor    D．a student
57．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families．
B．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives．
C．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy．

A．warmly welcomed at the airport
B．offered a ride to his home
C．treated hospitably at his home

1．Dear Baby，
As I am writing this to you，you are safely growing in your mother's womb，getting a little bigger and stronger by the day．You are not due to this world until the first week of January，I've been told，but I have to admit，I have been thinking a lot about you lately．I don't know if you're a little girl or a little boy．Nobody knows actually except for the doctors．See，your Mom has chosen not to know，so you will be a surprise to everyone，and I like it that way．You've got a fine mother．I don't know her that well，having met her only twice，but she impressed me with her personality and her qualities．Needless to say，I like her a lot．On the other hand，I know your father quite well：he's my son．And I can tell you right now，he has no idea of the responsibilities that are going to fall upon his shoulders，the very minute we hear your first cry．But he'll manage，just like I did，just like my father and his father before him did．
As impatient as I am for you to join the large family，I am also worried．The thought crossed my mind that something could go wrong with you or your Mom．You know，the kind of feeling one experiences before boarding an airplane．We know everything will be fine in the end，but we can't help thinking about it anyway．But so far，you're both doing just fine．Isn't an ultrasound （超声波） the greatest thing？Too bad we can't just look at yours for now!
What worries me too is your future．This world you're coming into is not human friendly．Of course，we all want the best possible for you，but we live in troubled times and I don't foresee your life being so easy，wishing of course I am wrong．I am the first generation in our family who hasn't been called to go to war in over a hundred years．Your Dad is the second generation．My dearest wish for you is that you will be part of the third generation．
The irony is that，as time progresses，humanity should learn from experiences and mistakes，but as our life is made easier all the time with new technology，I get the notion that somehow，we are going backwards．One would think that with such powerful means as the Internet，for example，communication between people as well as education in general would improve．Is it the case？I'm not sure．Anyway，we'll have plenty of time later to discuss this as you grow up and learn．Because you don't know it yet，but you and I will talk a lot，provided I am around for some time．
You're coming to this world with a lot of pluses on your side．You will be born into a close knit，loving family，and even though it can be overbearing sometimes，this alone，Child，is priceless!Both your parents are good providers，so you will probably always have what you need until you fly off the nest．Both of them work in the medical field，so your health and growth will be carefully watched．Both sets of your grandparents are alive and reasonably well，so you can be sure they'll all stand in everybody's and each other's way just to catch a glimpse of you．
But in the end，your life will be yours，and your decisions and choices will determine which direction you want to go．Most likely，you will be baptized （洗礼） and that's where we'll draw the line．You will be left to make your own decisions as you grow up and discover the world，but you'll never be alone to do so，you can always rely on any of us for advice and help if you so wish．We'll be there for you．
Love，
Your Grandfather （you know，the crazy，ugly one!）
