Sundays in New York can be very pleasant. Since Saturday nights are traditionally party nights, Sunday mornings are traditionally mornings of rest, which means having a long sleep. We stay in bed until 9, 10 or even 11 o’clock is not unusual, then jump out of bed, pull on clothes, run to the nearest corner news agency, buy the New York Times or Daily News, return home, put some classical music or popular songs on the record player, climb right back into bed to read the paper.

If the weather is bad, you might immediately turn to the Entertainment part of the paper to see what movies are on. Sunday afternoons are a popular time for seeing a film, but movies are expensive in New York, so choosing takes time and care.  Read the movie reviews to discover what the critics (评论家) think. No one wants to make an expensive mistake.

But if the weather is good, you might go through the part which lists outdoor activities. Almost every Sunday there are “street fairs (集市 )”. There will be food for sale made by local people or restaurants; hand-made things for sale; music offered by a local band; and perhaps dancing. If the fair is in Little Italy, you can expect (期待) to find tasty Italian food.

And if the day is really warm, a walk through Central Park can offer many sights, sounds and smells.  Groups of people go around the park, enjoy different activities and are often looking for others to join in. There will be pick-up baseball games; singing under the trees; dancing near a famous monument; boating on the lake.

If you are a student and live at home, you have probably spent your day in this way, putting off (推迟) your study until the sun goes down. If you are a student living away from home, it’s also likely that you’ve done the same because generally most New Yorkers save Sundays for playing. Call too early and you’ll wake us up; call too late and you’ll find us out.

试题详情

49. The writer says that New Yorkers go to bed late on __________.

    A. Wednesday nights                      B. Friday nights

    C. Saturday nights                        D. Sunday nights

试题详情

50. To choose a good movie, the writer suggests that _______.

    A. you find out the latest movie

B. you look up in the newspaper

C. you check which one gets good reviews

D. you ask those who have already seen it

试题详情

51. Which of the following does NOT the street fair offer?

    A. Local and foreign food                   B. Sports and games

    C. Things made by hand                    D. Music and dancing

试题详情

52. We can learn from the passage that _________.

    A. you can only find outdoor activities in the newspapers

B. a student living alone in New York prefers to study on Sundays

    C. most New Yorkers would spend Sundays with their families

    D. it’s not a good idea to call New Yorkers on Sundays

(C)

    Has helping people become a thing of the past? Walking through the crowds of today’s busy cities, you might think so.  It seems people are too busy or too afraid to lend a hand to someone they don’t know.  But at Radio Beijing today, two friends would like to share their experiences with the listeners.

Hazel Johansen

One Sunday morning, I was running late for work.  As I drove off, I noticed an elderly lady from the neighborhood.  She was pulling a large piece of wood out of the rain. I wanted to help, but I was in a hurry.

I hesitated (犹豫) for a moment. Then I stopped my car, got out and helped her move the wood.

Months went by. Then one day, I was walking in the street and saw some workmen cleaning out an old store.  There in the dark and dirty corner was a large Coca-Cola cooler. How fun! The workmen said I could have it, so I picked it up and started home. I didn’t get very far. It was much heavier than I thought.  How could I get this to my home? Then out of the blue, the elderly lady appeared ― with a handcart! I had helped her, and just when I needed it, she was there and returned the favor (帮忙).

Rachel Swats ― The Irish Helper

Going to the hospital is no fun ―― especially when you live in a foreign culture. I recently went to see a doctor in the US. When I got there, I discovered I had forgotten to bring enough money to pay for my treatment. I had my credit card in my pocket, and I thought I could use that. However, I was wrong! For some reason, my card didn’t work. And even the hospital’s ATM wouldn’t let me take money. Since I couldn’t pay, I couldn’t get the treatment I needed.

I was so sad that I began to cry.  Unluckily, when I started crying, I had trouble stopping. I was making quite a big noise!

Everybody else in line was getting impatient (不耐烦的). Just at that very moment, a lovely Irish woman appeared and asked me what I needed. I told her my problem. She immediately handed me $1,000, along with her business card, so I could repay her later.

I was able to pay and get the treatment.  When I got back home, I emailed the Irish woman. We’ve been in touch ever since!
