When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge
and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel th ey had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.
After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.
By Jack
9.Jack brought the couple their food very fast because _______.
A. the manager asked him to do so
B. he respected the elderly
C. the couple wanted him to do so
D. he wanted more pay
10.When Jack called the couple “elderly”, they became _______.
A. nervous
B. satisfied
C. unhappy
D. excited
11.After this experience, Jack _______.
A. lost his job in the restaurant
B. made friends with the couple
C. no longer respected the elderly
D. changed his way with older people
12.Which of the following is TRUE?
A. From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.
B. Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.
C. The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.
D. The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.
D
How can we improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my destiny (命运). I cannot change it."
Certainly not! You don't have to suffer too much. Your destiny depends on yourself, not on any other factors.
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best. But in fact she hasn't.
Remember that you get what you pay. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don't expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a little failure, but use it as feedback (反馈). Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively, you also have to act positively.
If someone's life is in the trouble, do you just hope that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.
13.The writer's attitude towards destiny is that___.
A. we can change it
B. we can't depend on ourselves
C. we must accept it
D. we have to suffer it
14.According to the passage, what should you do if something goes wrong?
A. Regard it as a little failure.
B. Get your hands off your phone.
C. Sit around and wait for luck.
D. Do something to solve the problem.
15.The underlined word "positively" in the passage means___.
A.不礼貌地
B.消极地
C.积极地
D.礼貌地

Possible version:
Dear David,
How is everything going? I’m so delighted that you plan to visit Jinan. I am writing to tell you something about Jinan.
Personally, the best time to Jinan is during autumn, as the weather in this season is neither too hot nor too cold. As a tourist city, Jinan is especially famous for Thousand Buddha Mountain, Baotu Spring and Daming Lake. That’s why I strongly recommend that you should visit them all. As for preparations for your trip, it is necessary for you to book your hotel room in advance, because during the tourist season, it is really hard to find a hotel room and it will cost you more.
I do hope you will have a nice trip.
Your，
Li Hua
附：就考试而言，从考前、考中二个阶段来谈谈学生正确心态的培养。

1、考前心态：适度压力正常，重实力轻运气：（1）考前的正常心态，首先应该是保持适度的紧张和压力。

有的家长说学生一到考试就紧张，其实紧张是学生重视考试的一种表现，也是青春期成长中的学生在开始承担个人和社会责任的过程中，一种正常的反应。

我们不可能也不应该做到让学生完全不紧张，只是不用过度施加压力就好。

（2）考前的复习，要更多的着重于梳理知识、总结题目、反思错误，从而真正的提高自身的实力，而不要意图在押题这种运气行为上
2、考中心态：客观看待题目，保持个人节奏：（1）考试中的心态，往往也反映在考试的策略上。

从应试的角度而言，能得高分的策略才是好策略。

但是在实际的考试中，很多同学却忽略了这一点。

（2）考试中最常见的心态失衡的表现就是“跟一道题死磕”，耗费太多的时间在一个小问题上。

很多同学知道自己有这个问题，但是就是改不掉，一方面要加强考试时对自身的认知和控制，另一方面这部分同学往往在平时生活中就比较容易急躁、较真、较劲，更多的要在平时处理问题时，就有意识的培养良好的心态。

（3）好的考试心态是：无论出现什么意外，总能保持个人习惯的考试节奏应试。

遇见难题可以跳过去，没感觉的题过一会儿再想。

不急躁，不自大，客观、冷静。
