Dear Mr. Brown,
Thank you for invite me to stay with you in London in the coming vacation. I had dreamed of seeing you again so that I can get more help from you in mine English learning. And I’m afraid I can’t go to your place in this summer, because I have promised my grandmother, she lives in the country, to spend the summer with her. She misses me too much that I find that difficult to say no to her. I’m busy now preparing for several exam. I plan to visit you in winter if it okay with you.
Best wishes,
Li Ming

American is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.

Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.

Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine (常规). They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

A. an American B. a Chinese C. a professor D. a student

4.From the underlined sentence, we can know the Chinese people __________.

A. are strict with time B. don’t take time seriously

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. Parents often give their children an amount of money that they may spend as they wish. The purpose is to let the children learn from experience at an early age when financial mistakes are not very costly.

A child may receive an allowance each week or each month. The amount is not so important. But parents should make clear what the child is expected to pay for with the money.

At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents should not offer more money until the next allowance is to be given.

Older children may be responsible enough to budget larger costs like those for clothing. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.

Many people who have written on the subject say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the home, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.

Allowances give children a chance to experience three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to organizations. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.

Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer free savings accounts for young people with small amounts of money.

1.The functions of allowances given to children are the following EXCEPT ______.

A. they can save more money for their future business

B. they can give them to charities

C. they may spend them on what they like

D. they can learn to deal with money

2.The underlined word "sacrifice" in the last paragraph means "_____".

A. 牺牲 B. 计划 C. 选择 D. 放弃

3.What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Children should save part of their allowance.

B. Don’t pay your child for work around the home.

C. Allowance helps teach children early about money.

D. Parents should allow children to spend money as they wish.

4.How many advantages of saving has the passage mentioned?

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Children are advised to buy anything they wish to with the allowance.

B. Parents should offer children more money if they spend all of their allowance soon after they get it.

C. It can be useful to pay children to do extra work around the home.

D. It is unnecessary for the children to save part of the allowance.

The life-long benefits of teaching children how to take care of their money make it well worth the effort. Children who are not taught these lessons pay the consequences for a life time. Some parents don’t teach children about money because they think they shouldn’t talk about money with children, don’t have the time, or think they don’t have enough money. Parents should take the time to teach children about money regardless of their income and should start when children are young.

Most people have strong feelings and opinions about money, based on childhood experiences and the values and beliefs of their families. Most often, these experiences, values, and beliefs are different for each parent. Parents should talk about these feelings and opinions and establish an unchanging approach（方式） to teaching children about money. This is important for the healthy development of children.

Here are some tips that parents can keep in mind as they begin teaching their children to manage money:

★ Guide and advise your children how to spend their money, rather than tell them what they can and cannot do.

★ Encourage and praise children rather than criticize their actions.

★ Allow children to learn by mistakes and by successes.

★ Be consistent（前后一致的） while taking children’s differences into consideration.

★ Include all family members in money management discussions, decision making, and activities that are suitable for their age. As children get older include them in discussions of limits and consequences.

★ Expect all family members to do some everyday chores based on their abilities without being paid.

★ Express your desire to have things you can’t afford. Children need to know that parents say “no” to themselves, too.

A．easy B．useless C．too early D．beneficial

Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind. People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence. For years, she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramic class.

On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car.

I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? I imagined the cool lake water. Irritated, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation.

“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mama asked calmly.

“No,” I said.

“We are going to volunteer at a children’s shelter today. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.

When we reached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldn’t stop crying. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.

As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle tug on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me. “Hi. You want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and nodded. I turned back and said, “Sure.” Her tiny hand reached up and held mine, as if to comfort me.

My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had. Today as I strive to instill (逐渐灌输) these values in my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget.
