听第10段材料，回答第18～20题。
This topic is about greeting in China．A few years ago, people would greet each other with the words “Have you had your breakfast or lunch or supper?” “Yes, how about you?” Then politely, both would leave with a smile on their faces．
This kind of greeting tells us what people cared about many years ago．For many years, having enough to eat was the most important thing for the Chinese people．The life of most people in China has become much better now．They do not worry about their food and clothing any more．The greeting has changed to “What are you going to do?” or “Where are you going?”
Though the greeting has no other meaning than saying hello, it often puzzles other people who are not familiar with China．Nowadays, more and more people are using “How are you?” to greet each other．It is certainly the best way for people to say hello to each other．
18．What did people mostly care about many years ago?
A．Are you full or hungry?
B．Where are you going?
C．Good manners．
19．What does the change of greetings in China show?
A．People are less polite to each other．
B．People have bad manners now．
C．People’s life is better．
20．Which is the best way for people to say hello to each other?
A．How do you do?
B．How are you?
C．Good morning．
Uncle George didn’t ______ until he was nearly fifty.
A. settle down B. put down C. sit down D. turn down
Dear Jane, Barbara and Roger,
As you know, we've been looking for a new house for some time．Now that all our children have left home, we find that the house is too big for us．Also, since your father retired, there has been no reason for us to stay in this district．Although we like our neighbors, we're decided to move south for two reasons．First, the weather will suit us better, and second, we've be a little nearer to you, Uncle George and Auntie Hilda．It will make visiting each other much simpler.
We stayed with your uncle and aunt last weekend and saw several houses．One of them sounded as if it were just what we wanted．The right number of rooms, a small garden, etc．When we saw it, we nearly died! It was in a terrible condition and would have cost a fortune to make it habitable（宜居的）．The roof and all the walls needed repairing and the whole inside redecorating．After that, we were very cautious about believing details from the estate（房地产） agent．The next two we saw were not much better, but the fourth house was exactly what we wanted．It was empty, so we're going to move in immediately．We'll put all your things in boxes and take them with us．You'll have to sort them out, throwing away what you don't want.
Can you all come next weekend? You can have a nice rest in a country．Telephone on Wednesday at the new number to let us know.
Lots of Love,
Mum and Dad

As you know, we’ve been looking for a new house for some time. Now that all our children have left home, we find that the house is too big for us. Also, since your father retired, there has been no reason for us to stay in this district. Although we like our neighbors, we’ve decided to move south for two reasons. First, the weather will suit us better, and second, we’ll be a little nearer to you, Uncle George and Auntie Hilda. It will make visiting each other much simpler.
We stayed with your uncle and aunt last weekend and saw several houses. One of them sounded as if it were just what we wanted. The right number of rooms, a small garden, etc. When we saw it, we nearly died! It was in a terrible condition and would have cost a fortune to make it habitable (宜居的). The roof and all the walls needed repairing and the whole inside redecorating. After that, we were very cautious about believing details from the estate (房地产) agent. The next two we saw were not much better, but the fourth house was exactly what we wanted. It was empty, so we’re going to move in immediately. We’ll put all your things in boxes and take them with us. You’ll have to sort them out, throwing away what you don’t want.
Can you all come next weekend? You can have a nice rest in the country. Telephone on Wednesday at the new number to let us know.
