The package consisted of a long, narrow box 36 wrapped in brown paper. 37 the box, Oscar saw an umbrella inside—a very old one with a beautifully carved wooden handle. 38 he had not seen it in more than 20 years, he recognized it 39 .
Oscar was 16 when he first saw the 40 umbrella. He had gone to a concert with his grandparents. As they were leaving, he noticed an umbrella on an empty seat. Impressed by its 41 Oscar felt a strong desire to find its 42 .
Oscar 43 the manager to look in the record of advance ticket sales. Just as he thought, a man matched the seat 44 Oscar had found the umbrella. The name was Mrs. Katie O’Brien.
Oscar talked his grandparents into going by Mrs. O’Brien 45 on their way home. He rang the bell, the door opened, and an elderly woman appeared. “May I 46 you?” she asked.
“I’d like to return it if it’s yours,” Oscar said, 47 the umbrella as if presenting a 48 that had long been wished for.
“ Why, yes ! It’s mine,” replied Mrs. O’Brien with a 49 smile and shining eyes. “It was given to me by my father years ago. Thank you so much for returning it. May I offer you a reward for your 50 ?
“No, ma’ma, ”he said , “My grandmother says that a good deed is its own reward.”
“Well, that’s 51 what my father used to say. What is your name, young man?”
Years later Oscar was staring at the finely carved handle of the umbrella as he remembered Mrs. O’ Brien. It was in perfect condition, considering how 52 it was. Why had it arrived here today?
As if 53 , a note fell from the paper. It read：Mrs. O’Brien wanted you to 54 this umbrella as a present for a kind, 55 gesture long ago.

查看习题详情和答案>>Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank.I received a letter from the head of the Personnel
Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us." That "quite"
saddened me.I thought he was saying "we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we
had hired someone else." Then I discovered that in American English "quite" sometimes means "very",
while in British English it means "fairly".
So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just
m
ean the words people speak.It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on.The way people dothings highlights many of the differences we see between cultures (文化).
Some of these differences may be only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may
be deeper and take longer to deal with.Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and
accepting them, like the climate (气候), while getting on with business.
Some of the differences may be an improvement.People are more polite; the service is better；you
ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again.However, other differences can
be troubling, like punctuality (准时). If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider
it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early
in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the
evening in Greece.I prefer n
ot to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive.It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.
1. The a
uthor was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought________.A. the American bank didn't think much of him
B. the American bank might hire another person
C. it's difficult to get used to American culture
D. it's easy to misunderstand Americans
2. The word "highlights" in Paragraph 2 probably means______.
A. encourages
B. helps to narrow
C. increases
D. draws attention to
3. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?
A. Ask the native people for help.
B. Understand and accept them.
C. Do things in our own
way.D. Do indepth research.
4. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are________.
A. Italians
B. Germans
C. Greeks
D. the British
