2. 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 purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
【小题1】The writer of this passage must be ______.

A．an American	B．a Chinese

B．offered a ride to his home

C．treated hospitably at his home

【小题4】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

3. Some scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.
The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.
Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.
Some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales (鲸).
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals.
The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales’ ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected (被感染的).
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.
Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists don’t think that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.
【小题1】According to the passage, Which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?

A．The sound of cars.	B．The sound of voices.
C．Man-made noise pollution.	D．The sound of steps.

【小题2】According to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following except ________.

A．sounds made by animals themselves

B．ocean drilling

C．underwater earthquakes

D．the breaking of ice fields

【小题3】Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?

A．The same noise level produces a different effect on land and in the ocean.

B．Different places may have different types of noises.

C．The decibel is not a right unit (单位) for measuring underwater noise.

D．Different ocean animals may have different reactions to noises.

【小题4】What can we learn about the whales from the passage?

A．They won’t be confused by noises.

B．They are deaf to noises.

C．Their ability to reproduce will be lowered by high-level noises.

D．Their hearing will be damaged by high-level noises.

4. “Mom, I can’t do this.” My teenage son Bret stood in front of me with his hands full of papers.
“Can’t do what?” I asked while preparing supper.
“All these!” he waved his hands up and down. “There’s no way I can do everything my teachers are asking me to do.”
I stopped what I was doing and turned to face him. I had never seen him so upset. He was my jovial son. He made good grades in school and nothing ever seemed to bother him. As I studied his face, I could see his eyes filled with tears.
Walking over to the kitchen table, I sat down and asked him to join me.
“Show me what you have to do .”
Bret sat down in a chair and dropped the papers in front of him.
“Mr. Jones, my chemistry teacher, wants me to make a project for the Science Fair.”
“Okay , And what else?”
“I have an algebra test next week, and that will be one-third of our grade this school term!”
“And I have to write an English essay. And midterms are the next week! I need to study for them and I have to get help with Spanish. There’s no way I can do everything!”
His hands shook as he picked up each assignment. It broke my heart to see him so stressed out. I wanted to help him, yet I couldn’t do the work for him. I looked at Bret and said. “You don’t have to do everything at once. You can do one at a time. Let’s make a list of what you need to do.”
So, one by one, we listed each item. Then we put the due date next to the item. Next we separated the items into parts. For instance, the chemistry project needed supplies. So we put a deadline on getting the supplies. He had a friend who could help him with Spanish, so we had to put that time in. During the process, I saw my son visibly relax. When we finished with the list, I asked, “Do you think you can do this now?”
He smiled and I saw his confidence return . “Sure! Thanks, Mom!”
There is a saying that asks, “How do you eat an elephant?” The answer is, “One bite at a time.”

How to Be Successful in School
【小题1】
One really important shortcut (捷径) to success in life is to be successful in school. Examine the relationship between levels of educational achievement and income earned during one’s working life. Education is the best investment (投资) a person can make. The higher one’s level of education, the more income they will be likely to earn and the better life will probably be. Students should make the effort to get the most education they can, and work hard to be successful in school at every level.
【小题2】
Long term means five years or more in the future. Do you want to graduate from college? Get into medical school? Get a law degree? Get an MBA? Get a master’s or PhD? Try to define concrete but realistic long-term goals for yourself. Then focus on them, thinking about them every time you attempt not to do your homework. Make your long-term goals motivations for your behavior every day, because every day does count when it comes to being successful in school. It is also important to have short-term goals that are stepping stones to your long-term goals.
【小题3】
For each of your education goals, develop a strategy and an action plan. A strategy might be to get math tutoring or to study with a group of friends on a regular basis. An action plan will include several individual tasks with timing and any cost that might be required. If you are a student, start now to understand how to generate goals, strategies and action plans that work; this skill can help you to be successful in school and later, in life.
【小题4】
Habits are formed by practice, by doing. Good study habits are formed by studying on a regular basis for the amount of time required to learn something. One of the most essential keys to being successful in school is to develop good study habits. Once good study habits are formed, you will find that learning and success in school become easier.
【小题5】
If you are a teenager or young adult, don’t let your hormones(荷尔蒙) or other people lead you into irresponsible actions. Self-indulgent (自我放纵的) behavior and abusive behavior toward others are self-destructive and unworthy of mature individuals. Work hard to develop strong character by making the virtues of courage, temperance (节制), and justice.
