【题目】(Teresa Lopez, from Cali, Colombia)
Where I’m from, we're pretty relaxed(1) _______time. We don't like to rush around. So we don't mind if people are a little late sometimes. If you tell a friend you're going to their house for dinner, its OK if you arrive a bit late. We like to enjoy our time slowly. We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives. We often just drop by our friend’s homes if we have time. We don't usually have to make plans to meet our friends .When we see each other, it's polite for boys to shake hands and for girls to kiss each other on the side of the face. We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!

【解析】文章是两位分别来自哥伦比亚、瑞士的少年讲述自己国家关于约会是否守时的习俗。
【1】Where I’m from, we're pretty relaxed(1) _______time我来自的地方对于时间是非常放松的。About是介词,关于,对于;I think it's impolite to keep others(2)_________.我认为让别人等是不礼貌的。Keep sb doing sth使某人做某事,让某人做某事;根据句意答案应为 (1). about (2). waiting
【2】We often just drop by our friends' homes if we have time意思是:如果我们有时间,我们只是顺便拜访朋友家。have time有时间,有空,同义短语是be free,所以答案是(1). are (2). free
【3】表示可能的情态动词有may,could,might,还有副词maybe;表示发疯的短语有:get/be/become mad/angry/crazy故答案为:your friend may get/be/become mad/angry/crazy./
your friend could get/be/become mad/angry/crazy./
your friend might get/be/become mad/angry/crazy./
maybe your friend will be/get/become mad/angry /crazy.
【4】daily形容词,每日的,日常的;同义词是句子We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives.中的everyday;central是形容词,其名词形式是第一段最后一句We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!中的center
【5】根据第一段第三句If you tell a friend you're going to their house for dinner, it's OK if you arrive a bit late.知答案是Colombia./It is OK to be 15 minutes late for dinner in Colombia
