They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”(感情易激动的). But she lived “on the surface (表面)”
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for
our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in
any way she chose that she did forgive (原谅) me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment (失望), then little interest, finally, peace—it seemed t hat nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make
her into someone she was not.[]
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my f ather and a one-page letter, folded (折叠) and refolded
many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always
chose the act that speaks louder than words.

We all know, especially for me who like travelling very much, travelling can be
a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break----a week long school vacation in the United States. But what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a tri p? Don’t worry. Here are some useful suggestions.
Save this probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut
expenses to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go
and how to get there.
Plant ahead Don’t wait until the l ast minute to plan your trip. Tickets may
cost more when b ought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and saving.
Do your homework No matter where you go, research the places you will visit.
Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.
Plan sensibly, Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick
to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.
Travel in groups Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places.
By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.
Work as you go Need more money t o support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.
Go off the beaten path Tourist cities may b e expensive. You may w ant to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area. Smaller towns can have many i nteresting activities and sights.
Pack necessary things The most important things to take are not always clothes Remember to take medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find
a cheap restaurant.

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. 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 develop 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 treat us warmly, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires much
time. But in China ,we are usually generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. 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 plans. 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 pure business matters. So accept
their hospitality at home!
8.The writer of this passage mustbe ______.
A. an American
B. a Chinese
C. a professor
D. a student
9.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives
C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
10.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit
an American friend, we will probably be ______.
A. warmly welcomed at the airport
B. offered a ride to his home
C. treated hospitably at his home
D. treated to dinner in a restaurant
11.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”．
A. Friendships between Chinese
B. Friendships between Americans
C. Americans’ hospitality
D. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships
D
In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity.
Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that
it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on
how w ell they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the
development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an
opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention
to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are
youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or
society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they
always have an excuse “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.”　What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure
of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors
who try to prove the mselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are
afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins
to dissolve（消失）can we discover a new meaning in competition.
12. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
C. Opinions about competition are different among people.
D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
13. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means ______.
A. those who try their best to win
B. those who value competition most highly
C. those who rely on others most for success
D. those who are against competition most strongly
14. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”？
A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.
B. One’s success in c ompetition needs great efforts.
C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.
15. Which point of view may the author agree to?
A. Every effort should be paid back.
B. Competition should be encouraged.
C. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.
D. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.
