18．Waste can be seen everywhere，and it can bring a lot of problems．Though China is rich in some resources（资源），we are short of others，for example，fresh water．It is said that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100years．Also there is not enough food in some areas．So if we go on wasting our resources，what can we use in the future and where can we move？Think about it，I think we should say no to the people who waste thing every day．
In our everyday life，we can do many things to stop waste from happening．Usually we can try to use the same thing more than once，such as sharing your books with your friends or using both sides of paper．And we must remember to turn off the water taps when we finish washing，or we can put little signs of"Please save water"on the water taps-never leave the tap running after using it．Also we should try not to order more food than we need and so on．Little by little，everything will be changed．Waste can be stopped on day if we do our best．

17．Close contacts between Japan and the rest of the world were created in the twentieth century．In the last forty years，business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important．Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world．Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business，however，often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners．
The American businessman，for example，wants to start talking business immediately．He does not want to wait．The Japanese businessman，on the other hand，likes to arrive at decisions after giving them serious thought．Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means"Yes"or"No"．This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society（社会），Which make it difficult for a Japanese to say"No"directly．
In the USA，it is easy to say"No"to something one does not want to do．But in Japan，it is very difficult to say"No"．To refuse an invitation or a request（请求） with"No"is felt to be impolite．It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly．So instead of saying"No"directly，the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid（避免） saying"No"．These can help them avoid hurting other people's feelings．However，this often makes their ways of doing business rather difficult for foreigners to understand and follow．

42．What often makes foreigners feel difficult to do business in Japan？A
A．Their different ways of doing business．
B．Their different lifestyles．
C．The fact that the Japanese never say"No"．

B．American businessmen like to say"Yes"and"No"．

16．Nearly eight hundred million people in this world cannot read or write，most of them in developing countries．Two-thirds are women and girls．
John Wood who started the Room to Read campaign（运动），has opened 1，650schools and 15，000libraries in some of the world's poorest communities（社区）．He said that from the beginning，Room to Read's goal was to reach 10million children around the world in the poorest countries．
In 1998，on a three-week vacation journey in Nepal，Wood met a local headmaster who invited him to visit his school in a far mountain village．The experience changed Wood's life．
"This headmaster had 450students at the school，but he didn't have any books，"Wood said．"He had a library that was empty．"
Wood promised to fill the library shelves and returned to the village year later with some of his friends with 3，000books．And that was just the start．Later，Wood used some of his personal money to start Room to Read．He believes that world change begins with educated children．Today，the programme can be found in 10countries across Asia and Africa．
Wood believes the key to the program's success is local support．While Room to Read gives away money and provides books，communities offer land and parents help build the school．Agnes，a Room to Read teacher in Zambia who also runs the library，is proud to say the literacy at her school has improved．Room to Read's biggest challenge is the huge need．Hundreds of communities have asked for literacy programmes．One way of Room to Read's success is that it will achieve Wood's goal of reaching 10 million kids by 2015，five years earlier than it is planned．

15．In choosing a friend，one should be very careful．A good friend can help you study．You can have fun together and make each other happy．Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends．They will be with you only if you have money or luck，but when you are down，they will run away．How do I know when I have found a good friend？I look for certain qualities of characteristic，especially understanding，honesty and reliability （可靠）．
Above all else，I look for understanding in a friend．A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling．He is not quick to give his opinion．Instead，he tries to learn from others．He puts himself in the other person's place，and he tries to think of ways to be helpful．He is also a good listener．
At the same time，however，a good friend is honest．He does not look for faults （过错） in others．He notices their good points．In short，a friend will try to understand me and accept me．
Another quality of a friend is reliability．I can always depend on （信赖） a good friend．If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time，I can be sure that he will be there．If I need help，he will do his best to help me．If I am in trouble，he will not run away from me．
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special．A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun．We should enjoy our lives，and we would enjoy our friendship．That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with．A good friend likes the same things I like．We share experience （经验） and learn from each other．A good friend has a good sense of humour，too．He likes to laugh with me．That is how we share in the joy of being friends．And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me．
