阅读理解。     Kitesurfing as a water sport began in the 1980s, but didn"t get popular until the end of last century. It is
also known as kiteboarding, and in some European countries as flysurfing. Kitesurfing works through wind
power (动力) by using a large kite to pull a rider on the water at high speed.
     At first, kitesurfing was a difficult and dangerous sport. Now it is becoming easier and safer because of
the safer kite design. For an able and strong person, kitesurfing can be a very fun, extremely exciting sport,

equipment for kitesurfing, which costs $1,000 to 82,500. Training lessons range from $200 to $500 for two
or three hours.
     With the development of its equipment progress, kitesurfing is becoming even safer. After some training,

     Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at school. When I made my first visit to the
United States, I was sure I could have a nice and easy holiday without any language problem. But how
wrong I was!
     At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to tell my friend Danny that I had arrived.
An American asked if he could help me. "Yes," I said, "I want to give my friend a ring."
     "Well, that"s nice. Are you getting married?" he asked. "No," I replied, "I just want to tell him I have
arrived." "Oh," he said, "there is a phone downstairs on the first floor." "But we"re on the first floor now,"
I said.
     "Well, I don"t know what you are talking about Maybe you aren"t feeling too well after your journey,"
he said."Just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better." And he went off, leaving me wondering where
on earth I was: At home we wash up after a meal to get the cups and plates clean. How can I wash up at an
airport?
     At last we did meet. Danny explained the misunderstanding: Americans say "to give someone a call", but
we English say "to give somebody a ring". When we say "to wash your hands", they say "to wash up". And
Englishmen start numbering from the ground floor so the first floor is the second for Americans.
1. The writer went to America by ______.
A. plane
B. ship
C. bus
D. train
2. The writer went to America for ______.
A. education
B. business
C. holiday
D. friendship
3. The American thought "a ring" should be a ______.
A. phone call
B. present
C. person
D. letter
4. Englishmen usually wash up ______.
A. after dinner
B. after a journey
C. when they are tired
D. before they telephone someone
5. The third floor in England is the ______ floor in America.
A. first

     If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It save your life. This is the surprising advice
of a British cook. One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. He picked up a dish from a
table, and suddenly a snake appeared and bit him on the hand. A few days earlier, the snake came to the
restaurant from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out of the box and hid under the dish. "I tried to pick it
up and it bit me. I threw it away, but it landed in the fridge. So I closed the door." Jackson said. Anyway,
Jackson was cool and he took a photo of the snake with his mobile phone. Soon his hand began to ache and
he went to hospital. Then his chest began to hurt. Doctors couldn"t say what was wrong because they didn"t
know what kind of snake it was.
     Then Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctors sent it to London Zoo. When they knew
the kind of snake, they could give Jackson the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day. "So my advice
is this: If a snake bits you, pick up your phone. Take its photo first and then call the hospital. Show the photo
to the doctors," suggests Mr. Jackson. "Oh, and if the snake doesn"t smile for its photo, don"t worry!"

that we"re near a crossing. We must drive carefully. Number three is a sign that there is a bend in the road.
