4.Do you know something about the Akuapem people?They live in eastern Ghana (加纳),where the sunshine hugs all the time.They are very friendly.Now let's have a look at how the Akuapem people receive a visitor.
A visitor is often welcomed warmly in a family of Akuapem.After the visitor is welcomed into the house,he is offered a seat and water at the very beginning,for the host (主人) thinks that the visitor must have come from a very long trip and is in need of water.Then the host family greet the visitor by saying"Akwaaba."More interestingly,if there is a group of visitors,the host will greet the visitors from right to left.And the host shakes only with his right hand,because the left hand is regarded dirty according to the Akuapem people.
Next,the visitor is asked how his trip was and why he has come.While the conversation is going on,the wife and children,especially girls,are cooking food for the visitor. The visitor can choose the food.After the visitor has finished eating,the host and the visitor continue their conversation.Usually this is a short one since the visitor is getting ready to say goodbye.
When the visitor is leaving,he is often given some food to take along.He is also accompanied (陪伴) by one of the children to the nearest station.The child who accompanies the visitor will not come back home until the visitor leaves safely.
No matter if he is a close friend or just a passer-by (过路人),this is always the way that the friendly Akuapem people receive a visitor.
51.What is the visitor offered at first by the family of Akuapem?A seat and water.
52.Why does the host shake only with his right hand?
Because the left had is regarded dirty according to the Akuapem people.
53.Who are cooking food while the host is chatting with the visitor?The wife and children,especially girls.
54.When will the child who accompanies the visitor to the station come back home?After the visitor leaves safely.(The child who accompanies the visitor to the station won't come back home until the visitor leaves safely.)
55.What does the article mainly talk about?How the Akuapem people receive a visitor.(The way that the friendly Akuapem people receive a visitor.).
3.Not only adults but also teenagers have problems in their life.Here is a survey showing the main problems of (41)D.
They feel stressed because they have (42)B homework to do both at school and at home.They have lots of exams (43)C.And parents usually send them (44)A different classes at weekends.As a result,so many of them almost become bookworms(书虫).On holidays,they could hardly have (45)B time to do what they are interested in.Now more and more teenagers (46)B short-sighted.They often read in bed or keep (47)D for a long time without having a rest.Some of them are crazy about playing computer games.Some (48)C too much watching TV. (49)A serious problem among teenagers is that many of them are becoming fat.They eat too much junk food,but they take little exercise.
I think teenagers should think of ways on how to (50)D the problem.They should make a plan for study and hobbies and find time to relax as much as possible.

In a New York street, a small truck hit a big tree. The truck was full of glasses and they were all broken now. The driver came out of the truck and looked at the broken glasses. He was very sad and people in the street felt sorry for him. Then an old man walked over to the driver. He looked at him for a few minutes and said, "My poor boy, I think you must pay a lot for it." "Yes," was the sad answer.

"Well, well," said the old man, "hold out your hat— here's some money for you, and I can say that some of these people will give you a helping hand, too." With these words, he walked away.

The driver held out his hat and over a hundred people came and put their money in it. At last the driver took a bag and put all the money in it.

If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver, just try the following things:

You can make it. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps feel more at ease in talks.

Try to smile more. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too; and most people will stay away from an angry—looking face.

Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?

Get your attention elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your book or whether people like you or not.

Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say: “Hi!” or smile at someone, say to yourself “You can make it.” Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk to others.
