阅读理解。    Except for a few times, Americans are not big present-givers. There"s no exchange of presents among
business people, and if one American tries to give another a present, it may look like that he wants to bribe
(贿赂) him. Americans have learned that in some other countries people like to give presents to others, but
among ourselves we don"t see the need for presents.
    Even friends may never exchange presents. When I go to foreign countries, I try to bring back little things
for close friends, but nobody would feel unhappy if I didn"t. I don"t often re-member a friend"s birthday, and
few people outside of my family remember mine. If someone gave me presents too often, I"d get unpleasant.
But a present from a foreigner - that kind from his or her homeland-won"t go wrong, except to government
employees (政府职员) who can"t be given presents.
    You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday
presents. You should only say, "It"s so nice. Thanks…" when you get Christ-mas or birthday presents.
     You may want to bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) or flowers to a dinner party, but you"re never asked to.
Nobody will mind if you bring wine, but your friend may not use it that evening.
     At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends. We also give presents to
people who have been helpful during the year-doormen, babysitters, housecleaners, newspaper senders-anyone
who has often helped us. 1. What does "close friends" mean in the passage?A. The friends who are very kind.
B. The friends who live close to each other.
C. The friends who were once classmates.
D. The friends who you like most. 2. What kind of presents don"t Americans usually open in front of the givers? A. The small presents.
B. Christmas or birthday presents.
C. The expensive presents.
D. The presents for dinner party. 3. Why do Americans also give presents to housecleaners at Christmas? A. To pay them.
B. To help them.
C. To thank them.
D. To make them work harder. 4. Which of the following do you think is right? A. American business people don"t want presents because they are rich enough.
B. The writer of this passage must be an American.
C. Everyone must give presents to one"s family and friends at Christmas.
D. Government employees can get little presents from a foreigner. 5. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Present-giving in the United States.
B. Customs (习俗) in the United States.
C. American people and present-giving.
D. When and how to give presents.

阅读理解。     My class will put on a short play in English at the end of the year. Yesterday our English teacher gave
us copies of the play.
    "Choose a character in the play whom you"d like to be," she told us. "This afternoon learn a few lines of
this part for homework. Then tomorrow you can say those lines in front of the class. I"ll decide who play
each part."
     I wanted to have one of the bigger parts in the play, so I choose the part of the king. He has a lot of lines
to say. I learned them by heart.
      This morning in our English lesson we had to say our lines. I acted the part of the king. When I said my
lines, I put a lot of expression into my acting. I thought I acted really well.
      Everyone in the class read a part and then the teacher told us who would play each part.
      Many of the students in my class couldn"t act at all. They couldn"t even read without making lots of
mistakes. I was sure that I would get a big part in the play.
      However, the teacher gave me the part of a soldier. He has only one line. It is, "Yes, sir!"
      I was very disappointed. At the end of the lesson I went up to her and asked her why I had such a small
part.
      "You put too much expression in your acting," she said. "Good acting is not big acting. It is acting the
audience can believe in."
      I think I know what she means. 1. What did the boy want to do in the play? A. To get a small  part.
B. To organize the play.
C. To get a large acting part.
D. To work the lights. 2. How did the boy feel when the teacher told the class they would put on a play? A. Bored.
B. Sad.
C. Excited.
D. Unhappy. 3. Why didn"t the teacher give him the part of the kings?A. He did not act correctly.
B. He did not know the lines.
C. He was not handsome.
D. He was too short. 4. What does the underlined word "expression" in the passage mean?  A. 表情
B. 建议
C. 模仿
D. 服饰

A. Now pick up the scissors. Hold the paper carefully and cut through it. Keep the small piece of string
    between you and the scissors, so you do not cut the string.
B. "Magic string" is a popular magic trick. You can do this trick for your friends or family. You just need
    a piece of paper, a piece of string and some scissors. That"s all.
C. Pick up the paper and fold side A down. Now your friends can see side B, but they can"t see side A.
    Side A is shorter than B, so it does not cover the string. Push the middle of the string up, and fold C
    up over A. Now most of the string is inside the paper, but a small piece of the string is outside. You can
    see it but your friends can"t.
