My Aunt Edith was a widow(寡妇)of 50,working as a secretary, when doctors discovered what

was then thought to be a very serious heart illness.

Aunt Edith didn't accept defeat easily. She began studying medical reports in the library and

found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart doctor, Michael DeBakey, of Houston,

Texas. He had saved the life of someone with the same illness. The article said Dr. DeBakey’s fees

were very high; Aunt Edith couldn’t possibly pay them. But could he tell her of someone whose

fee she could pay?

always dreamed of traveling and seeing the world. There wasn’t a word of self-pity( 自怜)---only

Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very

heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.

The purpose of these bridges is to make pedestrians to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are

used very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient

because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older

people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they

cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why

the government has built

many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.

The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money in building these bridges. For

their own safer3; pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by

dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down

the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving

traffic.

Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it

a habit to me them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of tile.

9. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?

A. Taller trucks can pass under them.

B. Pedestrians can climb up them and have a view of the city.

C. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.

D. They are more efficient and convenient for the pedestrians.

10. Why are overhead bridges less convenient?

A. Because it is a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, especially for older people.

B. Became they make it difficult for the drivers to cross the road.

A. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.

B. Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.

C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.

D. Overhead bridges are found in places, where traffic is heavy, in Beijing.

12. The underlined part“zebra crossings”(in Paragraph 2) probably means .

A. safe areas across roads for pedestrians to walk across

D. safe areas across roads for children to play a game

D

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. Both may exchange Christmas

greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while-then no more. 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 flower more slowly but then may

become lifelong feelings, extending 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 easily.

Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us

warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great

deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous

with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to

meet a friend. We may- take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. 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 routine. 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!

13. The writer of this passage must be .

A. an American

B. a Chinese

C. a professor

D. a student

14. 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.

15. 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
