【题目】Americans are a strange people. They work like mad, then give away much of what they earn. They play until they are exhausted, and call this a vacation. They live to think of themselves as hard-hearted business men, yet they are push-overs for any hard luck story. They have the biggest of nearly everything including government, motor cars and debts. Yet they like to think of themselves as little people, average men, and they would like to cut everything down to their own size. They show off their tall buildings, high mountains, long rivers, big state, the best country, the best world, the best heaven. Yet they also have the most traffic deaths, the most waste, and the most liars.

When they meet, they are always telling each other, "Take it easy," then they rush off like crazy in opposite directions. They play games as if they were fighting a war, and fight wars as if playing a game. They marry more, and go broke more often. They love children, animals, mother, work, excitement, noise, nature, television shows, comedy, high pace, sports, the underdog, the hero, the flag, Christmas, jazz, shapely women and muscular men, classical recordings, crowds, comics, cigarettes, warm houses in winter and cool ones in summer, thick beefsteaks, coffee, ice cream, informal dress, plenty of running water, do-it-yourself, and a working week limited to forty hours or less.

They crowd their highways with cars while complaining about the traffic, troop to movies and television while blaming the quality and the advertisements, go to church but don't care much for sermons (布道), and drink too much in the hope of relaxing—only to find themselves drunk into even bigger dreams.

There is of course, no typical (典型的) American. But if you added them all together and then divided by 226, 000, 000 they would look something like what this chapter has tried to describe.

【1】What may be the best title of the passage?

A. The Americans. B. Life in America.

C. Strange people. D. Great America

【2】What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in Para.1?

A. They like listening to bad luck stories.

B. They push the interesting stories away.

C. They can easily be moved by sad stories.

D. They are informed of good luck stories often.

【3】Which one of the following is probably NOT what the Americans love?

A. noise B. advertisement

C. smoking D. fresh water

【4】In what way did the author write this passage?

A. By comparison. B. By giving examples.

C. By experimenting. D. By telling stories.

I was used to spend happy time with my grandfather, but as I grew up, I gradually started to become self-centered. Once, when I was 8, I went out shopping with him. As he and I took the wrong bus but got lost outside, I could not stay calm and shout rudely at him. I was so stubborn at a time that I wouldn’t say sorry after returning home, believing that I had done nothing wrong. I know now how ridiculous I was at that time! Yet, when I true wanted to express my regret, my grandfather had left me forever, left me with no more chances to apologize for my mistake. We are spent much time at school now, while little time is left for you to spend at home with our families. So make the most every second you still have with your loved ones, although time keeps going, waiting for no one.

【题目】Group–buying in China

Modeled after US hot website Groupon.com, group buying websites are now popular in China. These websites use the power of group buying to get competitive discounts （打折）for a daily deal on some best stuff to do, see, eat and buy in the cities across China. Discounts are available within just one click. Zhao lei, a software engineer in Beijing, loves the one-hour lunch break at noon, as it is the best time for him to check “today’s special” at his favorite group buying websites . Sometimes he searches for great deals at directory sites devoted to the new shopping space. Zhao spends around 800 yuan ($117.65) on group buying every month, mostly to buy food coupons （优惠劵）for eating at some nice restaurants and occasionally to find something fun to do. ‘‘I love group buying. In addition to the competitive discounts it offers, it helps me get something fun, exciting and new, and such surprises give me a reason to try something new,” he said. When he finds a really good bargain, he will send the link to friends or colleagues through MSN,QQ, or e-mail, or share the information at some social networking websites. In doing so, he often gets a certain cut off the price. At some sites, buyers are invited to leave notes about what they want to buy and the website will consider it if similar applications（申请）reach a certain number. That is how Zuo got her digital camera after waiting for two months. “It is cool. I want to buy a new digital camera for my trip to Switzerland this winter, but I never expected such cheap prices!” Zuo said.
