AI’m MacDella Cooper. I grew up in Monrovia, and my family was pretty well-off.My stepfather worked for the United Nations. Every morning a driver took me to the private school.Then in 1989, we heard news of the war. The rebels(反叛者)destroyed every village in their path. They saw our big house and caught my stepfather. He never came back. My mother was on vacation in the US with my three little brothers at that time. For months, I was on my own with my elder brothers. They were 15and 16, hoping our stepfather would return. The rebels took our cars and our house then, so we decided to leave.It took us almost 4years to get to America. By this time, my mother had a couple of jobs and was living in New Jersey. I loved the high school there, and then I got a degree in engineering at college and worked in fashion. I had a great life, but I realized I had forgotten where I had come from. In 2004 I started theMacDella Copper Foundation(基金会).

People with type O blood had the lowest incidence(几率) of heart illness, and compared with them, those with type AB blood were 23% more likely, and people with A were 5%more likely.“While people cannot change their blood type, ourfindings may help doctors better understand who is atrisk for developing heart illness,” said study authorDr. Lu Qi, assistant professor of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.The scientists considered two Harvard studies, onethat tracked 62,000women over 26years, and one that tracked 27,400men over 24years. In all, more than2,500people were found with heart illness.However, further research is needed. In order toreduce(减少)heart disease risk, people should exercise , eat right and keep their weight.In the United States, 45%of people have type O blood, making it the most common blood type . only 4%of theUS population has type AB blood, while about 40%hastype A and about 11% has type B.( )42.

The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9 o’clock to 5:30, the o nly time I could go to the theater was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between myoffice and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip—so I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth hearing the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.( )47. The man learned that there would be a concert last Friday _______.A. from his friendsB. from one of his workmatesC. over the radioD. from the newspaper( )48. He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only _____.A. onceB. twiceC. three timesD. four times( )49. One day the man took _____to go to the theatre by bus.A. forty-five minutesB. fifteen minutesC. just twenty minutesD. over an hour( )50. The underlined word “relieved” may best be replaced by _______A. surprisedB. pleasedC. puzzledD. sorry( )51. The writer mainly shows us his ________A. enjoyment of the concertB. anger for buying the ticketC. efforts to buy the ticketD. disappointment at the concertDMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signals(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize(强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries-like the UK or France-people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture,we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment(多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.( )52.
