Alan is a 16-year-old boy. He is the only child in his family. Alan is an American high school student. He lives in New York. Art and music are his favourite subjects(科目). He loves studying and also love sports. He usually goes swimming three or four times every week. Alan’s father works in a restaurant(饭店) near New York. He likes swimming, too. So Alan often go swimming with his uncle. Cool water always make him happy. American students are different(不同的) from us. On Saturdays, he often has parties (派对) with his friends and they always enjoy themselves. On Sundays, he usually studies at home and watches sports programs(节目). His favourite drink is Coke, but Coke is an unhealthy drink. He often eats vegetables and he often does some sports to keep healthy. (健康)
小题1:Alan’s father is a _________. .| A．teacher | B．waiter(服务员) | C．reporter（记者） | D．student |

小题5:What’s the meaning of the underline (划线) word, “unhealthy” in the passage ? |
In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone early in the morning. If you telephone early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate(立即的) attention. So it is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think that it’s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests are likely to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be thought silly to make an appointment(约会) too far ahead because plans which are made for a date more than a week away may be forgotten. The meaning of time is not the same in different cultures that treat time differently; being on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible(责任). In the USA no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is asked to make a shout apology (道歉). If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation(解释), though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
小题1:A call at midnight would mean_________.| A．the matter is less important | | B．the matter is too difficult to handle | | C．the matter requires immediate attention | | D．it is a matter of life and death |
小题2:According to the passage, time plays a very important part in__________.| A．everyday life | B．personal life | | C．getting along with others | D．business |
小题3:In the passage, the writer suggests that invitation cards should be sent___________.| A．three or four days before the party date in all cultures | | B．three or four days before the party date in some cultures | | C．three or four days before the party date in the USA | | D．at your chosen time |

Dear Kitty,
I am sorry that I did not write to you earlier because I have been very 1 . I was helping with a charity show to raise money 2 Project Green Hope. A lot of work needed to be finished, so I did not have much free time.
I felt very happy when I was chosen to be the host. It was exciting, 3 I was also very nervous. I knew that lots of people would watch the show and that many famous pop 4 would come, too. We started working on the show half a year ago so that we could do everything on time. My job was to introduce each star and I also had many other duties. We practiced a lot before the show. I had to remember to 5 the right camera at the right time. 6 , I thought I would never be able to remember all the words. Slowly, everything became 7 .
The big day came very quickly, and I was so excited. Twenty minutes before the big event, we opened the doors and many people came into the theatre to watch the show. The fans of the pop stars were making a noise, so I had to speak 8 .
Everything seemed to happen so fast. A lot of 9 has been given to Project Green Hope. I hope more events like this will be organized to raise money for charity and I think more people should be 10 to take part in them.
See you soon.
Best wishes!
Ricky
