13.One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency.You know,you would be submerged(淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely.We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.
The trip was not ve ry long but it was still very impressive.We looked forward to going there again!Of course,we spent lots of time arranging the trip,but it was well worth it!Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa,but everything went quite smoothly in the end.
The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation.In the Italian consulate(领事馆),one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa.Then we had to solve the ticket problem.Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance.The next step was to book a hotel.We finally booked a hotel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.
Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome.Our big house,which was surrounded by the forest,was a rare place for the fresh air and absolute silence,beautiful views,hospitable(好客的) hosts,comfortable living conditions which delighted us to no end.Besides this,we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian.She gave us a lot of advice that was of great us.She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.
Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself.It's not difficult!The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves.We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just twice or three times.So,if you're also planning a"single"trip,don't forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.
29.Why does the author want to go to Italy again?D
A.He had a great time there.
B.Italy has a lot of attractions.

B.the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice

8.I was waiting for a phone call from my agent.He had left a message the night before,telling me that my show was to be cancelled.I called him several times,but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later.So I waited and waited,but there was still no call.Three hours passing by,I became more and more impatient.I was certain that my agent didn't care about my work,and he didn't care about me.I was overcome with that thought.I started to shout at the phone,
"Let me wait,will you?Who do you think you are?"
At that time I didn't realize my wife was looking on.Without showing her surprise,she rushed in,seized the phone,tore off the wires,and shouted at the phone,"Yeah,who do you think you are?Bad telephone!Bad telephone!"And she swept it into the wastebasket.

After watching crazy woman rushing in and out,shouting at everything in sight,I noticed that something in my mood(情绪) had changed.I was laughing.How could I have trouble with that phone?Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things.Twenty minutes later my agent did call.I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.

18.As we know,there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture.We can see differences when we pay attention to the way some words are used.Let's look at the words about animals and ants.
Although dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans,most expressions in Chinese about the dog,for example,"a homeless dog","a running dog"and"a dog catching a mouse".have negative meanings.But in Western countries,people use"dog"to describe positive actions.In English,for example,"You are a lucky dog"means"You are a lucky person".And"Every dog has its day"means"Each person has good luck sometimes".However.Chinese love cats very much.But in Western culture."cat"is often used to describe a woman who is cruel(冷的).There are many other examples of how"cat"is used differently as well.
The rose is regarded(视为)as a symbol(象征)of love in both China and some Western countries.People think the rose stands for(代表)love,peace,courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England,America and many other countries.

5.Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)?When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included,he can give you a false picture.
     For example,someone might say,"I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票).It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"This guy's a winner,right?Maybe,maybe not.We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets,and only one was a winner.He's really a big loser!He didn't'say anything that was false,but he left out important information on purpose.That's called a half-truth.Half-truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.
     Some politicians often use this trick.Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks another term.One of her opponents says,"During Governor Smith's term,the state lost one million jobs!"That's true.However,an honest statement would have been,"During Governor Smith's term,the state had a net gain of two million jobs."
     Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say,"Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache."It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
     This kind of deception happens too often.It's a sad fact of life:lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
