At sunrise we 47 up to enjoy a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going 48 the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a small 49 caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China 50 sign.We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe 51 we were at the highest point of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write 52 a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.Three weeks later, I arrived home and 53 my mailbox. Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office. I had 54 the post office all these years. Today I 55 send postcards to friends.

They don’t have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don’t pay overtime. Their workers don’t get more pay for more work. Some people think it’s their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours.Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, “All work and no play makes Jacka dull boy.” If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.61.

There are a lot of dull people in the world.CWe all have our own ways of sharing our life experiences with others.Photographers use cameras, artists use brushes, musicians use songs and writers use stories.Spencer Johnson’s story Who Moved My Cheese?shows changes exist in(存在于)our life. Life changes and so we do. We must change ourselves to face the changing environment, or we will fail.Just look at the cycle(循环)of the seasons. Trees bud(发芽)in spring and in summer their leaves turn green. In autumn, their leaves start to fall onto the ground. When winter comes, there are no leaves on trees. Next spring the cycle begins again. Since we know there are cycles in nature, we can prepare for them. We know it is colder in winter and hotter in summer, so we can dress properly.Since we accept the cycles of nature, we should also accept the changes in our life.We can prepare ourselves for changes by becoming more flexible(灵活的). We can regard the changes in our life as chances. As we keep changing ourselves, we can keep up with the changes in our life.66. What do writers use to share their life experiences?A. Stories.B. Newspapers.C. Basketballs.D.

The first surprise was the waythat the US people speak.One day I saw someone was having a public speech in a square. I thought it wouldbe a serious speech. But I soon found it became a kind of entertainment show.The speaker told the audience to protect the environment with humorous words. Laterhe said some people’s behavior didn’t go with their words. He took the example of Taylor Swift’s song We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.He said that since Swift doesn’t want to be with the boy any more, she doesn’tneed to speak it aloud, she doesn’t need to sing unless she still keeps in touchwith that guy. It sounds like she is a hypocrite.Then he sang the song in a funny way. The audience laughed out loudly. I felt alittle angry because Swift is m y favourite star. I couldn’t understand why they laughed at Swift.As time goes on, I find many US people make fun of others. But they don’t meanto hurt them. They do that to show closeness and humour. And people who are laughedat seldom get angry. Now I understand the speaker at the square. Now I’ve got usedto the way the US people speak.It’s easy to find culture shock when you’re in a new place. But everyone shouldlearn to understand different cultures and customs.71. The man in the square was _______________.A. teaching people how to give a speechB. calling on people to protect the environmentC. giving a singing show in publicD. criticizing the US government72.
