A
After a few weeks in China, I started to notice something strange at the dinner table. I was in a restaurant with my friends when, beside us at ___11___ table, a group of four men were ___12___ at each other and waving their money around.

This scene made me ___14___ what that would look like in the UK. It would be almost unheard of. In a British restaurant, you’ll just pay for yourself. It’s called “splitting (分开) the bill”.
I guess there is one ___15___ that could explain some of the differences between East and West. How you pay the bill depends on how you order, as well as how you eat. Usually in Chinese restaurants, the group decides on each dish, ___16___ the group eats all the dishes. Can you imagine trying to work out how to split the bill if you’re all sharing
The opposite is ___17___ for Western-style food. Each person chooses the food that he or she wants. ___18___ isn’t often practiced. So it’s ___19___ to pay for what you ordered. I personally enjoy both practices. It’s nice to treat your friends to dinner ___20___. And it’s nice to be treated. And on days when I eat Western food, I know there’ll be no “fighting” over who should pay!

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become deep feelings between both families.
There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they are not so polite to others if it needs lots of time. But in China, we are usually generous (慷慨的) with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at a train station even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides for our friends. It is different in America. Americans cannot manage the time to be with a friend outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the friends to get themselves from the train stations to the hotels. And they expect the friends will phone them from there. Once the friends arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
Americans often think it is friendlier to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for work. Americans are ready to receive friends at their homes, share their holidays and their home lives. So accept their hospitality (好客) at home and enjoy your visit in America!
39. What do the underlined words “pick up” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Think of. B．Give up. C．Pay no attention to. D．Continue.
40. Which of the following is the usual way of American hospitality
A．Treat friends at home. B．Take days off to be with friends.
C．Meet friends at the train station at night. D．Share everything they have with friends.
41. Who is the text for
A．American students. B．Chinese students.
C．Chinese who are going to America. D．Americans who are going to China.
C
Have you ever wondered what makes people happy What’s the secret Is it money, good health, loving relationships, owning the latest mobile phones or simply chocolate
The latest World Happiness Report says that money is not the key to happiness. Happiness depends more on the things you have rather than getting more things. Money can buy things like mobile phones, but the happiness it brings is often short-lasting.
The report also says real happiness comes from intangible (无形的) things. One important thing is human relationships. People who get along well with family and friends often feel happier. Performing acts of kindness also makes you happy. For example, helping a friend in need or carrying a neighbor’s shopping bag will make you feel on top of the world.
It’s not surprising that health is another key to happiness. A healthy diet (日常饮食) is important, and so is regular exercise. Exercising for twenty to thirty minutes a day helps you reduce stress and makes you feel more positive.
Sleep also affects happiness. If you don’t get enough sleep, you will be tired and in a bad mood (心情). Besides, tiredness affects your ability to focus on studies and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to sleep at least eight hours a night.
Now you know the theory (理论). It’s time to put it all into practice.
42. How does the writer start the passage
A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By showing numbers.
43. What does the latest World Happiness Report say about money
A．It is the key to happiness. B．It brings short-lasting happiness.
C．It is the best way to help a friend in need. D．It can bring people lasting joy.
44. Which paragraph mainly discusses the importance of human relationships
A．Paragraph 2 B．Paragraph 3. C．Paragraph 4. D．Paragraph 5.
45. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage
A．To show what brings real happiness.
B．To compare different types of happiness.
C．To offer advice on how to manage money.
D．To tell us how to keep healthy.

Water is one of the most useful things on Earth. It gives us life. We think water is something soft and gentle, but sometimes water is so powerful that it can even be destructive (破坏性的). Here we talk about floods.
There are two main kinds of floods: flash floods and slow floods. Flash floods are sudden floods of great volumes (大量) of water. They overflow (溢出) the banks of the rivers and wash away everything they touch into pieces. Flash floods are destructive. The other type is slow floods. They rise over a long period of time. Usually as more and more rain falls, the water in rivers rises and floods the land. These slow floods happen in every country in the world.
Floods are one of the world’s biggest natural killers. When floods happen, crops are damaged, houses are washed away, roads are destroyed, and people are killed. Every year in America water kills over 100 people, most in flash floods. Floods also cause huge economic (经济的) losses.
Floods are a serious problem. Worse still, they may become more powerful and happen more often as global warming becomes more and more serious. Around the world, sea levels will rise, and more lives will be taken by the flood waters of our planet.
Floods are a serious natural disaster and we must try to stop them from happening often to save our lives and homes.
46. What can we know about flash floods
A．They happen unexpectedly.
B．They are slow, but powerful.
C．They are less destructive than slow floods.
D．They appear everywhere around the world.
47. How does the writer explain “Floods are one of the world’s biggest natural killers.”
A．By giving facts. B．By telling stories.
C．By raising questions. D．By showing steps.
48. What is the best title for the passage
A．Different Kinds of Natural Disasters B．The Powerful Floods
C．Global Warming and Sea Levels D．How to Prevent Floods

When you practise reading, you are not only repeating the words on the page, but also improving your reading abilities, learning and using background knowledge and learning new vocabulary, etc. While reading, you will learn around one new word for every 1,000 words you read.
We did a survey about reading times among 300 students. The diagram (图表) shows the results of the survey.
According to the survey, there is a huge difference between the number of words learned by students who read for less than 15 minutes daily and those who read for 30+ minutes every day. Unfortunately, the study also shows that the students who read for half an hour or more daily take up less than 20% of the total—about 50% of students read less than 15 minutes.
Reading is important. We’d better read more books in our free time. The more time we spend on it, the more we will get.
49. What do students do when they are reading
①Practise reading abilities. ②Remember the article. ③Repeat the words.
④Use background knowledge. ⑤Learn new words.
A．①②③④ B．①③④⑤ C．①②④⑤ D．②③④⑤
50. How many more words do Group C students learn than Group A students
A．1,909. B．6,249. C．8,158. D．11,957.
51. Which picture shows the percent of the three different reading times
52. In which part of a magazine can we most probably read this text
A．Technology. B．Education. C．Culture. D．Health.

In fact, you can do a lot for them. For example, you can talk with them or play games with them. Listening to them carefully is also a good idea. Some old people can’t see clearly and they would like you to read to them. No matter what small things you do, you can make them feel loved.
A two-month summer vacation isn’t that long, but it’s enough to make a difference.
