Dear Betty,

My roommate’s family wants me to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I’m excited about going, but I’m a little nervous about it, too. The social customs in my country are different from those here, so I’m a little worried about making mistakes.

Should I bring a gift, such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late?  At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?

Yours,

Knowing Nothing

Dear Knowing Nothing,

It’s a good idea to bring a gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always welcome, or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it.

You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.

Try to relax at the dinner table. If you don’t know how to use the right fork, knife or spoon, just watch the other guests, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don’t be shy about asking the person next to you; it’s better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous.

If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after.

Yours,

Betty

8.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.
The art of growing dwarf trees,or"bonsai"(盆景)as their Japanese planters call them,is increasing in popularity in the United States.Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them.(36)B
In growing bonsai,in fact,one must be careful in choosing the type of tree,as the growing conditions are unusual(37)GVarieties of pines with small needles and hardwood trunks are especially suitable.(38)AThis is necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined(被限制) to the tree's trunk and leaves,not its root system-a process quite unlike what is done with other plants.Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is to trim (修整) the roots and branches of the tree periodically (定期地).Unless this is done,the plants will not have the proper proportions(比例) and will look unnatural.(39)FThe last thing one must do is to be careful to keep the tree well-watered.Because bonsai are grown in smaller-than-usual containers,they often need more water than ordinary houseplants do.
As can be seen from the above,the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort.(40)EImagine having such a tree in your living room and passing it down through several generations of your family.That is exactly what bonsai-growing is all about:establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol of the beauties of the natural world.

A.Then one must be careful in choosing the size of the container.
B.How can we meet the goal of making such a kind of art?
C.Why do so many people take a fancy to the art of bonsai-growing.
D.But one must get well prepared before starting bonsai-growing.
E.The satisfactions that growing bonsai brings can be great,however.
F.The ideal for bonsai plants are trees just like normal trees in everything but size.
G.Not all species of trees can be made into bonsai.
15.Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city?In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons-for example,economic reasons-why they should be preserved.So,let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed,there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner tomove things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.

28.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?D
A.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
B.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
C.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
D.Some of them are not attractive.
29.Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?A
A.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
B.We should reproduce the same old buildings.
C.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
30.By"move things forward"in the last paragraph,the author probably means"C".
A.destroy old buildings
B.put things in a different place
C.choose new architectural style
D.respect people's feelings for historical buildings
31.What is the main purpose of the passage?B
A.To explain why people dislike change.
B.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
C.To warn that we could end up living in caves.
D.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
12.When others get off the train to finally go home,Leonie Muller slays behind.That's because she is already home:The train is her apartment,and she says she likes it that way.The German college student gave up her apartment in spring."It all started with an argument I had with my landlord,"Muller told The Washington Post via e-mail."I immediately decided I want to live there anymore and then I realized:Actually,I didn't want to live anywhere anymore."
Instead,she bought a subscription (会员费) that allows her to board every train in the country for free.Now,Muller washes her hair in the train bathroom and writes her college papers while traveling at a speed of up to 190mph.She says that she enjoys the freedom since she gave up her apartment."I really feel at home on trains.It's like being on vacation all the time,"Muller said.
"I want to inspire people to question their habits and the things they consider to be normal,"Muller told The Post."There are always more opportunities than one thinks there are.The next adventure is waiting just around the comer-provided that you want to find it."
Muller frequently travels late at night,although she tries to sleep at the apartments of relatives or friends.Often,she is accommodated by her boyfriend,her mother or grandmother."Normally,we would have to have a long-distance relationship,but living on a train enables me to see him all the time,"Muller told German TV station SWR regarding her boyfriend."Most of ray friends really like the idea,although some consider it to be quite adventurous.Others,however,have reacted more negatively.They feel offended by the fact that I question the ordinary way of life and living."
The only problem?"Possessing a headset that reduces most surrounding noises is important,"she said.

28.What do we know about the direct reason for Muller s choice to live on trains?A

B.She wanted to visit more people on the way.
C.She had to finish her graduate paper on the topic.
D.She planned to act against tradition.
29.According to Muller,which is one of the advantages of living on trains?D
A.She can have more holidays.
B.She can escape from college life.
C.She can possess a headset.
D.She can see her boyfriend more often.

A.There are opportunities everywhere in life.
B.The next adventure is coming soon.
C.People need to make changes in their life.
