AWhen you walk along a street in a big city in the United States, you may see clocks in moststores. Radio announcers give the correct time during the day. People there think that it is important to know the time. Most Americans have watches. They want to do certain things at certain times. They do not want to be late.Not all people all over the world value time. Suppose you visit a certain country in South America. You would find that people living there do not like to rush. If you had an appointment (约会)with someone, he would probably be late. He would not care for arriving on time. In some countries in South America, even the radio programs may not begin right on time, nor do the radio announcers think it important to announce the right time. Many people regard a clock as a machine. It seems to them that a person who does everything on time is controlled by a machine. They do not want a clock or any machine to have that much power over their lives.21. There are clocks in most stores in the US cities because ______.A. people in the stores want to sell these clocksB. bosses want to make their stores beautifulC. people think it important to know the timeD. they needn't wear watches when they are away from home22. The underlined word "rush" in the passage most probably means ______.A. “run”B. “walk”C.“move”D. “hurry”23. If you had an appointment with someone in some place in South America, he might not arrive on time, and this is because ______.A. he didn't have a watch with himB. he forgot to have a look at a watch or a clockC. he didn't think it important to arrive on timeD. he didn't like an appointment with someone24. In some countries in South America ______.A. the radio announcers do think it important to announce the exact timeB. most people do not want to be controlled by othersC. many people think a clock has much powerD. the radio programs may start a bit early or lateBFitzgerald, a very wealthy English man, had only one child, a son, who naturally was the apple of his eye. His wife died when the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted himself to fathering the kid. Unluckily the son died in his late teens.Meanwhile, Fitzgerald's wealth was increasing all the time. He spent a lot on art works of the masters. Later Fitzgerald himself became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully prepared his will as to how his wealth would be settled——to sell his entire collection at an auction(拍卖）.Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection, a huge crowd of possible buyers gathered for the auction. Many of them were museum directors and private collectors eager to bid （出价）. Before the auction, the art works were shown, among which was a painting of Fitzgerald's son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled（敲槌）the crowd to attention. Firstthe lawyer read from Fitzgerald's will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of his son.The poor-quality painting didn't receive any bidders except one——the old servant who had attended to the son and loved him, and who for emotional reasons offered the only bid.As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became quiet, and the lawyer read from the will: “Whoever buys the painting of my son gets all my collection.” Then the auction was over.25. Fitzgerald was __________.A. a museum directorB. a master of artC. an art auctioneerD. an art collector26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?A.

Fitzgerald decided to leave everything he had to his servant.27. Fitzgerald's will showed __________.A. his desire to fool the biddersB. his invaluable love for his sonC. his sadness at the death of his sonD. his regret of having no heir (继承人）28. What helped the old servant win the whole collection of Fitzgerald's?A. No more than one pound.B. Great increase of his wealth.C. His strong passion for art.D. His emotion for his young master.CWe parents often take material things for love. “I give him everything,” a disappointed mother complains. “New shoes, vide o-games, and his own TV. You’d think he’d at least show me respect!”Of course, love and presents are related. Most parents work hard to earn money. They want their children to have more than they did and have better lives. The problem is, most children do n’t connect the things parents buy with the labor that pays for them. Children have more, but our culture——and television in particular——teaches them that more is never enough. Having more does not mean that a child feels loved.From a parent’s point of vi ew, children are not thankful. But this has to do with their natural growth. Young children see their parents as all-mighty(万能的). If parents fail to provide what they want, it must be a matter of choice. It’s normal for children, even school-age ones, not to be able to take another person’s point of view. For example, they may dislike their parents for working longhours, and not realize that the parent would also rather have more time at home.In addition to giving presents, we have to find other ways to express love and create memories. Reading or telling stories together, making music and playing games are all ways for families to spend time without spending money. Traditions like reading favorite poems and even snowball fights all serve the purpose（达到目的）. Most importantly, as parents, we have to learn to hold back some energy from our tiring jobs. When we’re present for our children, we ourselves become the presents we want to give.29. The underlined word “them”( in Paragraph 2) refers to______________.A. parentsB. childrenC. the things parents buyD. better lives30. According to the passage, children______.A. want fewer presentsB. are taught to ask for moreC. want presents rather than loveD. prefer their parents to work at home31. We can judge from the passage that there is _________.A. misunderstanding between parents and childrenB. a heavy job load for some parentsC. a lack of money in some familiesD. love between parents and children32. The best title for the passage is .A. Family LifeB. Love and PresentsC. Children’s EducationD. Children and ParentsDWe know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can’t go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don’t forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe(遵守) some other customs. Here I’ll give you some do’s and don’ts about them:(1) Don’t leave bones on the table or the floor. (You should put them on your plate with fingers.)(2)Don’t use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.(3)Don’t talk with much food in your mouth.(4)Don’t ask others to have more wine.(This is quite different from that in China.)(5)After dinner, use your napkin （餐巾）to clean your mouth and hands.(6)Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave inhalf an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.33. If your American or English friend wants to invite you to dinner, he will invite you ________.A. on the night before the dinnerB. on the day before the dinnerC. a week before the dinnerD. at the last moment34.
