One day an America n called Sim on went to London to visit his frie nd, Rick. Rick

told him that his flat was on the first floor. Whe n he arrived, Sim on went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no one called Rick on that floor. Do you know why?

In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor. But America ns would call it the sec ond floor.

The story shows that there are some differences in culture between Britain and

America, though the British and America ns both speak En glish.

The British usually hide their feelings. They seldom start a conversation with

strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading n

ewspapers or books. But America ns are quite differe nt. They're more active and easier to talk with.

The British and America ns may use differe nt terms for many thin gs. The British

usually use football, eraser and mail while America ns like to use soccer, rubber and post.

When we go to other countries, we ' better go online to search for something about the cultures there. Itllbe helpful for the trip.

Frank first reads some news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars. Then they turn to sports news. As they watch the screen, Mary pays for a robot to make coffee for them.

Some classrooms disappeared in 2035 because there was no Ion ger much n eed for them. The Internet had made it easier to lear n at home.

Do you need to “dit（编辑、剪辑）your friends ”？ Is your mobile phone directory full of phone nu mbers of people you don 'really want to talk to? Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends? Do you say yes to in

vitatio ns because you think you should, not because you want to? If you an swer yes to at least two of these questions, then perhaps you need todit your friends”.

Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school. The result is that we don 'have eno ugh time to see our real, close frie nds. As our life gets busier, it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see, people we love and who really love us. But usually we don 'have any time to get together with them.

Who are the frie nds you n eed to edit? A few years ago I read a book about how to choose betwee n n ecessary thi ngs and unn ecessary on es. It says you should ask yourself about each thing you have: Is it useful? Do I really like it? Do I feel better every time I look at it? If the answer is no to any one of those questions, you should throw it away. Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends.

What kind of friends will you probably n eed to edit? Sometimes it s an old frie nd, somebody who you used to have a lot in com mon with, but whe n you meet now, you have very little or nothing to say to. Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with, but who is taking up too much of your time. Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting, think Do I really want to see this person? ” and if the answer is no, say no and make an excuse. In that way you'll have more time to spe nd with your real frie nds.

27. People n eed to edit their friends when ________ .

A. they have moved to a differe nt area

B. they have no time with their real friends

C. their frie nds have gone out to work or school

D. their friends have got on quite well with them

28. People doritn eed to edit their _________ .

A. old friends

B. new friends

C. real friends

D. young frie nds

29. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3

A. We should ofte n ask questio ns.

B.

We should treat our frie nds well.

C. Most of our frie nds are not n ecessary at all.

D. We should ask ourselves who our real frie nds are.

Sometimes pare nts spO（溺爱）too much their childre n, because they offer them too much attention and try to carry out all their wishes. It is true that a good mother wan ts her child to be happy and to spe nd the most time with him or her. Any way, it is sometimes suitable for mothers to leave their children much time alone, because he or she n eeds to create his or her own pers on ality without the in flue nee of the others around. As a child, what do you thi nk of that? Do you like the time your pare nts spe nd

most with you or the time your parents leave you alone?

Mothers 'behavior can be, at times, negative for their children if they spoil them too much. Childre n should also know that thi ngs cannot always happe n the way they want, and they have to accept this. Crying and yelling aren't always the perfect ways to attract their mother or father, in order to make them do a certain thing. Therefore, mothers who used to spoil their childre n too much should not give up their jobs in order to stay at home with their childre n, because they give a n egative educati on to these children. A girl won't be able to make her bed, iron a pair of trousers, tidy up her room and so on, because it s her mother "sduty to do those for her, while she can do other things like playing with her mobile phone, watching TV, listening to music or weari ng some make-up to go out with her frie nds. What about your mother? Does she go to work or stay at home to take good care of you? Can you do some chores for yourself or do some housework for the family?

In my opinion, a good mother knows what educati on should be give n to her child without giving up her job. Moreover, a mother is a good mother she is able to combine the both thin gs: the educati on of her child and the job. Eve n if she does n ' have much time to spend with her child, a good mother knows what advice should be given to her child, for example, to listen to his or her problems, to help a little with homework and to offer him or her the in depe ndence he or she n eeds. Whatyour idea? Would you like your parents to get jobs? So, what should you do to make them believe that you can grow up as a pers on?

30. Which of the following shows that a mother spoils her children?

A. She cares for them too much.

B. She brings them with her.

C. She leaves them alone at home.

D. She tries to realize her own dreams.

31. Accord ing to the writer, a spoil child usually thinks that __________ .

A. his pare nts are always very n egative

B. his parents will do everything for him

C. he can express himself in the perfect way

D. accide nts always take place in the same way

32. The underlined word combine" in Paragraph 3 probably mean _________ .

A. provide

B. protect

C. compla in

D. connect

33. The last paragraph of this passage is mainly abo __________

B. how to be a good mother

D. the importa nee of the in depe ndence

one in the school. They told me that I could take classes any way that I wan ted so that I could go to work. I also found out that I could have classes at home so that I could be there for my childre n.

Now today, almost 2 years later, I will not only be graduati ng with hono rs. I have

bee n on the Dea n 'list for almost the whole time I have bee n in college. And I also got very good scores in every exam.

So for anyone out there who thinks that somethi ng is out of reach or impossible,

remember this: if I had liste ned to those people who told me, I couldn 'do it the n. The man who has made up his mind to win will n ever say impossible ”.
