5．When my family moved to America in 2010from a small village in Guangdong，China，we brought not only our luggage，but also our village rules，customs and culture．One of the rules is that young people should always respect（尊敬） elders．Unluckily，this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States．
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant．One time，when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple，the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly．I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly．As soon as I said that，her face showed great displeasure．My manager，who happened to hear what I said，took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive（敏感） Americans are and how they dislike the description"old"．I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife．After the couple heard my reason，they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences，so they laughed and were no longer angry．
In my village in China，people are proud of being old．Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty，and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience．Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience．
However，in the United States，people think"growing old"is a problem since"old"shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well．Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging，and women put on makeup，hoping to look young．When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly，they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young．I had told them something they didn't want to hear．
After that，I changed the way I had been with older people．It is not that I don't respect them any more； I still respect them，but now I don't show my feelings through words．
61．Jack brought the couple their food very fast becauseB．
A．the manager asked him to do so 　　
B．he respected the elderly
C．the couple wanted him to do so
D．he wanted more pay
62．When Jack called the couple"elderly"，they becameC．
A．nervous
B．satisfied
C．unhappy
D．excited
63．In Jack's hometown，B．
A．people dislike being called"old"
B．people are proud of being old
C．many people reach the age of seventy or eighty
D．the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants
64．After this experience，JackD．
A．lost his job in the restaurant  　
B．made friends with the couple
C．no longer respected the elderly
D．changed his way with older people
65．Which of the following is TRUE？D
A．The more Jack explained，the angrier the couple got．
B．Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience．
C．The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple．
D．From this experience，Jack learned more about American culture．

分析每个国家都有各自的文化习惯，而这种文化上的差异往往会引起一定的误会，不过只要熟悉对方的风俗习惯做到入乡随俗，一切就OK啦

20．One night，when I was eight，my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget．"Cindy，my company wants to promote （升职） me but needs me to work in Brazil．This is like your teacher telling you that you've done well and allowing you to skip （跳） a grade，but you'll have to leave your friends．Would you say yes to your teacher？"She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it．I was lost in thought．The question kept me wondering for the rest of the night．I had said"yes"but for the first time，I realized the difficult decisions adults had to make．
For almost four years，my mother would call us from Brazil every day．Every evening I'd eagerly wait for the phone to ring and then tell her everything happened during the day．A phone call，however，could never take her place and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times．
During my fourth-grade Christmas break，we flew to Rio to visit her．Looking at her large empty apartment， It was then I started to understand the difficult choices she had to make．She needed to think about both family and work．Faced with difficult decisions，she used to tell me，you wouldn't know whether you make the right choice，but you could always make the best out of the situation，with a positive attitude．
Back home，I reminded myself that what my mother could do，I could，too．If she managed to live in Rio all by herself，I，too，could learn to be independent．I learn how to take care of myself and set high but achievable goals．
My mother is now back with us．But I will never forget what the experience has really taught me．I've learned a lot because of this separation （分离）．There are lots of difficult decisions that we have to face in our life．We need to have a positive attitude no matter what happens．
42．It wasB for the writer to say"yes"to her mother's decision．
A．excited
B．difficult
C．unusual
D．happy

A．I thought my mother might regret her decision．
B．I thought my mother might leave Brazil with us．
C．I realized my mother behaved well in her company．

18．Four types of friends you need in your life
Do you know that people will die early if they have no friends during their lifetime？The survey shows if you want to live longer and more happily，you need to have some friends who can share your sadness and happiness or can be helpful when you are in trouble．
The following four types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away．
1．A Loyal Best Friend
Everyone needs a friend who will support you in different situations．This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets，but still loves you all the same．
2．A Friendly Neighbor
These days，a lot of people don't know their own neighbors．It's a shame，because some neighbors can be the most helpful people．If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday，you can call your neighbors to lock it for you．So it's wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors．
3．A Workmate
You'll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day．Your workmate doesn't have to be your best friend．If you two get along well with each other，you can always start going out with them outside of the office．
4．A Friend From a Different Culture
If everyone had a friend from a different culture，the world would be a much better place．Remember that don't be friends with someone just because they're from a different culture．Instead，keep your mind open，and if you meet someone from other places，try to learn about their customs，values，and traditions．
If you have such kinds of friends，you will surely live longer and more happily．
