Recently, my college degree has just been completed. The last project was called
“Smile”. The class was asked to go out to smile at three people and write down
their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say
hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake.
My husband, the youngest son and I went out to McDonald. We were standing in
line when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away. As I turned around,
an unpleasant body smell came to my nose and two poor homeless men stood just behind
me. As I looked at the short blue-eyed gentleman closest to me, he was “smiling”.
The second man fumbled (摸索)with his hands as he stood behind his friend.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is
all, Miss,” because that was all they could afford.
Then I really felt it — I embraced (拥抱)the little man with the blue eyes.
That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every
action. I smiled and asked two more breakfast meals and gave them to the men.
The blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Thank
you.”
I turned in my project. My teacher said, “Can I share this?” I slowly nodded
as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew
that we as human beings share this need to make people happy and to be mare happy.
In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s and every soul that heard
the story in the classroom. But, I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would
ever learn.
24. The underlined part “a piece of cake” in Paragraph 1 means _______.
A. easy
B. embarrassing
C. moving
D. comfortable
25. Why did people around the writer in the McDonald step back?
A. Because they were very polite to the two men.
B. Because they were moved by the two men.
C. Because the two men seemed unfriendly.
D. Because the two men smelt terrible.
26. What did the writer think she learned from the story?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B. Helping others can bring pleasure to many people.
C. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
D. Don’t judge people according to their appearance.
C
In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities,
because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn't much
work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the
city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move
to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving
out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired
of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets,
crowded trains and buses. They don't want to live in the cities any more. They want
a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.
So they move out of the cities. Some don't go very far, just a little way
out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real
countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try
to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two
or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They
don't make so much money and there isn't much work to do. People in the countryside
are very different and aren't always very friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move
back to the city. "It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,"
they say.
27. Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China?
A.The countryside is much poorer than me city.
B.People in the countryside have nothing to eat.
C.People in the countryside don't have much work to do there.
D.Services in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside.
28. Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside?
A.Because they will find good jobs.
B.Because they are tired of living in the city.
C.Because they can make more money there.
D.Because they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields.
29.
The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows __________
A.they are happy to move back to the city
B.they miss their friends in the countryside
C.they still want to move to the countryside
D.they are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city
30. The best title of this passage may be “__________”
A.A happy life!
in the city!
B.Living
C. Moving out or moving back?
D.Living in the
countryside!

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
While people in both England and the U.S. speak English, the two types of English
can be very different.
First, there are differences in spelling. The British like the letter “u” and
have kept it in many words. 31.________ Somewhere in our language history, we decided
that “labor”, “color” and “favorite” were just fine without the “u” next
to the “o”.
32.________ Sometimes, we use totally different words. Here, we
live in apartments with elevators. Over there, they live in flats with lifts. We
power our cars with gas. They use petrol. And, if we need to look in our car’s dark
trunk for something, we use a flashlight. They would use a torch to search their
dark boot.
33.________Some British and American idioms have the same meaning, but use
different words. For example, in the U. S. if you want to add your opinion to a
conversation, you put in your two cents.In the U.K., they put in their two pence.
Make sense. They have pence and we don’t. Finally, a familiar word used by both
countries but in different ways is “cheers”. We use the word over drinks when we
are wishing someone good health or congratulating on success. The British use
“cheers” to mean “thank you.” 34._________
Now, we don’t expect you to pick sides. 35._______
A. The usage of the word comes from America.
B. For that, we Americans say, “Thank you!”
C. American English will be used more often than British English.
D. Americans have dropped it.
E. Then there are idioms.
F. Both American and British English have their strong points.
G. But our differences go beyond spelling.
