| At a young age, Patti Wilson was told that she was an epileptic(癫痫患者). Her father, Jim Wilson, is a morning jogger. One day she said, "Daddy, I want to run with you every day, But I"m afraid I"ll have a seizure(发作). Her father told her, "If you do, I know how to handle it, so let"s start running!"

| A soldier named John Blanchard struck up(建立)a pen pal friendship with a woman, Sally Maynell, who he had never met in the months before World War II. When the fighting began, their correspondence still continued. Over the next year or so the two got to know each other through their letters. Even so, when Blanchard asked for a photograph, the woman refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn"t matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting - 7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York. "You"ll recognise me," she wrote, "by the red rose I"ll be wearing on my suit." At the station a beautiful young woman approached him. She was wearing a green suit and was everything that he hoped Miss Maynell would be. But there was no red rose. There was another woman. She was well past 40 and had her hair tucked(塞)under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her fat feet thrust(挤)into shoes. Her pale face was gentle and her gray eyes had a warm twinkle(闪光). On her coat, there was a red rose. He did not hesitate. His fingers gripped the small worn copy of the book that was to identify him to her. "This will not be love, but it will be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a feeling for which I have been and must ever be grateful." he thought. " I"m John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me. May I take you to dinner?" he asked. The woman"s face broadened into a smile. "I don"t know what this is about, son." she answered, "But the young lady in the green suit who just went by begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was a kind of test!" | |||

| A. disappointed B. excited C. indifferent D. expectant | |||

| As I was leaving to meet Lynne, my roommate told me that I"d better take some money, but I didn"t listen to him. I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me. I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time. I"d been told that Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant and a waitress came and took our order. The dinner was a great success. I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia and Lynne told me all about herself. After two hours the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check or two. Lynne said two. We went to the cashier and Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed (尴尬) when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I pretended to look for something in my pockets and said,"Oh!I forgot my money! Can I call my roommate, please?" The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called my roommate. In a few minutes he arrived with some money,but he couldn"t hide how he felt. He laughed all the way home. Now, I think it"s funny too. But at the time I was terribly embarrassed. I thought that an invitation to have dinner meant the same thing in the United States as in my country. I guess you have to understand that your customs are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their customs, too. | |||
