For many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world. In fact, they are not really bad guests, because the guest-host relationship in China is quite different from that in western (西方的) countries. In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person’s home, there is always fruit on the table, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is common for a guest.

My wife’s mother doesn’t smoke. When I see some guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker (不抽烟的人), I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them, but I must know that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In America, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their home. At least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But don’t be surprised if they say: “No, you can’t smoke.”

Guests in China also have some special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon.

Luckily, my wife is a Chinese. Whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to host is not always needed in my country. So if you invite foreign guests to your home, don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a gift. And if western hosts invite you to their home, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating(对待) you is not what you expected.

1.When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often　　　 .

A.buys some fruit

B.takes a cup of tea

C.feels welcome

2.If the a guest wants to smoke in the writer’s house, the writer will probably say “　　　 .”

A.Let’s smoke together

B.It’s OK, if you smoke here

C.Sorry, you can’t smoke here

3.What does the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage?

A.get used to B.look forward to C.reply to

4.Which of the following is true according to paragraph four?

A.Bringing a gift when visiting is popular in China.

B.Chinese has more habits than people in other countries.

C.It’s necessary to give a gift if we visit a western family.

5.What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Foreigners should learn from Chinese.

B.Hosts must do things in the guests’ way.

C.People should understand cultural difference.

Salted fish is a common food that is popular in the south of China. It is chewy (有嚼劲的) and adds a salty taste to other dishes. But eating too much salted fish can cause cancer (致癌).

Salted fish is made with much salt, and the mixture of salt and fish later will turn into nitrites (亚硝酸盐).

When nitrites reach our stomach, they will be changed into another kind of thing that can cause cancer. So can’t we eat salted fish anymore?

“People don’t need to worry too much.” Huang Yufang from the Cancer Center of Guangzhou Medical University said. If you really like eating salted fish, you can eat a little once or twice a month. At the same time, you should also eat more fruit and vegetables that they have a lot of vitamin C (维他命 C),because this can help to stop the salt from becoming nitrites.

In fact, there are many foods that we often eat that can cause cancer, too, such as pickles (咸菜)，fried chicken in KFC and even red meat (pork and beef). But it doesn’t mean a person will get cancer just by eating them.

Some people have cancer and there are some reasons for it, such as one’s genes (基因), environment, lifestyle and eating habits. As long as one has good eating habits, one doesn’t need to stop eating cancer-causing foods at all, Fang Yu, a doctor from the Beijing Cancer Hospital said.

1.Salted fish popular in south China because____　　　 .

A.fish is easy to find and cook.

B.it is a common food in south China.

C.it is chewy and adds taste to other dishes.

2.Salted fish may cause cancer when______　　　 .

A.people cook it with salt

B.people eat too much of it

C.people eat it with some foods

3.What advice does Huang Yufang give to salted fish fans?

A.Stop eating salted fish from now on.

B.Eat a little of the salted fish every day.

C.Eat more fruit and vegetables to get more vitamin C.

4.From the passage, we can infer______.

A.food itself can’t make people get cancer

B.vegetables and fruit are more healthy than meat

C.people who have a good eating habits will not get cancer

5.The writer wants to______　　　 .

A.ask us to stop eating cancer-causing foods

B.tell us getting more Vitamin C is the best way to kill cancer

C.show us that health has relation to (与…有关) many reasons

Trust (信 任) is the basis (基 础) of any relationship, including friendship. No relationship can be long without trust. But winning trust is not easy as we think. Sometimes, it takes years, even all our life to make it. We surely know who are the people we trust. However, how do we know if others trust us?

1.You may first like to share them with the friends you trust most. It is the same with your friends.

Whom do you ask for advice when you need it the most? Either your parents or your friends may first come into your mind. You only ask for advice from the people you really trust. You know they will never pass on the wrong advice. And so do they.2.

In fact, two people can’t always have the same opinions on a situation and they may share different advice. Sometimes some people find it hard to forgive (原谅) and forget.3..It is because they trust you and believe that you will never cause any hurt to them on purpose (故意地).

There are times in life when you find yourself a lonely soldier.4.Your friends will always be there when you need help. If they are with you when you need them the most, you can know that they trust you.

She was three, just came back from a hospital after brain surgery (脑部手 术) with no hair. I was happy to see her back. My little “Mr. Clean” and I went to the shopping mall.

“Daddy, can I get a gift?” “OK, but just one,” I said. I asked her what she wanted. Without thinking twice, she said “An ice-cream comb(梳子) from the ice-cream store.”

At the end of the road, she found something new－a big fountain(喷泉）.“Daddy, can I make a wish?” she jumped with joy. “Sure honey, but that will be your gift you know,” I told her. She agreed.

I put a coin in her hand. She closed her eyes and made her wish. “Can you tell Daddy what you wished for?” She answered, “I wished I could get an ice- cream comb.” Finally, she got her wish, and two gifts.

I knew that my beautiful girl would soon be on a long road of surgeries, special schools, endless treatments and end up paralyzed(麻痹) on her right side.

Today, she is almost seventeen. She can't use her right hand and walks with a limp(跛行). But each year she shows improvement. She is planning a job in early childhood education. With one year before finishing high school, she and I planned all the subjects she would need to take in college. It was her idea. You see that “giving up” was never a choice to her.

Five Ideas for Better Sleep

Most people need about eight hours of sleep each night. 65.但很多人睡眠有问题.If we don't have enough sleeping time, it will be bad for our work and study. And it’s easier for us to get sick or even become heavier. How can we get the sleep we need? Here are some ideas:

Do exercise during the day.

You’ve probably noticed how much running around little kids do and how well they sleep. Physical activity can lower stress and help people feel more relaxed. 66.Don’t do sports before bedtime because exercise can wake you up.

Keep the bedroom for sleeping only.

It’s a bad habit for you to use your bedroom as a place to eat, watch TV, read, talk on the phone, or discuss important matters with your family members. 67.Break that habit to get better sleep.

Say goodnight to electronic products(电子产品).

They will make a person wake up at night. At least turn off electronic products an hour or more before lights out.68. You’d better make your bedroom a place without any electronic products.

Go to bed and get up at a regular (有规律的) time.

69每天晚上在同一时间去睡觉对睡眠有好处。Creating a set bedtime routine(常 规) can make you feel more relaxed. And you can relax by reading, listening to music or spending time with a pet.
