When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as 30 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,〞 he said. “Your playing days are limited.

III. 阅读理解〔共15小题；每题2分，总分值30分〕
阅读以下短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最正确选项。

A
When my family moved to America 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 they 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.
41. 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
42. When Jack called the couple “elderly〞, they became .
A. nervous
B. satisfied
C. unhappy
D. excited
43. In Jack’s hometown, .
A. people dislike being called “old〞
B. people are proud of being old
C. many people reach the age of seventy or eighty
D. the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants
44. 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
45. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.
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. From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.
B
How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again! Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child —things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
46. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that __.
A. life for a child is comparatively easy
B. a child is always loved whatever he does
C. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
D. only children are interested in life
47. After a child grows up, he __.
A. will have little time playing
B. has to be successful in finding a job
C. can still ask for help in time of trouble
D. should be able to take care of himself
48. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Those who can accept whatever happens in each age are happy. .
B. Things are less interesting for older people.
C. Adults are free to do what they want to do.
D. Adults should no longer rely on others.
49. The underlined word "responsibilities" in the second paragraph
means__________.
A. duties
B. jobs
C. suggestions
D. desires
50. The main idea of the passage is _________ .
A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
B. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one's life
D. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life
C

When children celebrate a wedding anniversary for the parents, it’s not just a celebration for the parents but for the whole family. There are many types of wedding anniversary gifts. 51 Choosing a gift for parents that involves the whole family makes the event more special for them.
Budget〔预算〕
Children shouldn’t spend too much money on the gift. Parents usually know the financial conditions of their children. 52 Considerations
An anniversary gift for parents should have two characteristics: customized 〔订制的〕, and something they can use together. It is not a good idea to choose a gift that only looks good. The gift is celebrating their time spent together, so it has to be something they both will enjoy.
Family celebration
One of the biggest achievements of parents is raising children. So some children decide to buy an anniversary gift that involves the entire family such as a special family vacation. 53
A party as a gift
54 If it is a milestone anniversary such as a 25th or 50th wedding anniversary, some children choose to hold a party. The guest list includes all family members who have been close to them over the years.
Family-themed gifts
One choice is a family photo taken by a professional or even a painting created by a professional artist using a family photo as the image to be painted. 55 If the parents don’t have a DVD player, the player can be included as part of the gift.
A. Sometimes gifts don’t have to be objects bought with money.
B. Brothers and sisters can share the cost of the party.
C. And these gifts reflect a lot of thought and effort.
D. So the gift should be one selected specially for parents.
E. Overspending can make parents uncomfortable and worried.
F. This way, the family can be together to celebrate the anniversary.
G. Another nice gift is making a DVD with old videotapes of family events.

I just come back from Britain last week. I was luckily enough to be one of the students from different countries to visit the UK from Feb.16 to 28. We paid a visit to many places of interests, like London, Oxford or the Lake District. I learned much about British culture and history in London, where was my favorite. I also liked Oxford, in which I saw much more old buildings. The Lake District was beautiful, but it was pity that it rained heavily when they were there. The most excited thing for me in the Britain was that I made a lot of friends there.

高考资源网 Jianhua,
I ' m very glad to have received the letter you sent me two weeks ago．I've been thinking about the question you asked me. In my opinion, you should come back after you finish your studies abroad. For one reason, what you are studying is badly needed nowadays in China. It will be quite easy for you to find a good job. In fact, I know a few big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like you. For another reason, I think it will be much more convenient for you to look after your parents as they are getting old. Therefore, I think it’s a good idea for you to return. So what are you waiting for?
Best wishes!
Minghua。
