As a little boy, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather's farm in western Pennsylvania.　 Surrounded by miles of winding stonewalls, the house and farm provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.

I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old.　 Since my first visit to the farm, I'd wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stonewalls surrounding the farm.　 My parents would never agree. The walls were old; some stones were missing, others loose and falling into pieces. Still, my wish to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally, one spring afternoon, I summoned (鼓起) all my courage and entered the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.

"I, uh, I want to climb the stonewalls," I said hesitantly.　 Everyone looked up.　 "Can I climb the stone walls?" Immediately a chorus went up from the women in the room.　 "Heavens, no!" they cried, "You'll hurt yourself!" I wasn't too disappointed; the response was just as I'd expected.　 But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather's loud voice.　 "Now hold on just a minute," I heard him say, "Let the boy climb the stone walls.　 He has to learn to do things for himself.'

"Go," he said to me, "and come and see me when you get back. ' For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls and had the time of my life.　 Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventure.　 I'll never forget what he said.　 "Fred," he said, smiling widely,　 "you made this day a special day just by being yourself.　 Always remember: there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you as you are."

Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers'

Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America.　 There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit.

"There's only one person in this whole world like you," the kids can count on hearing my say,　 "and people can like you as you are."

1.Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. As a city kid, Fred was unwilling to go to his grandfather's farm.

B. Fred helped his grandfather build the stonewalls to protect the farm.

C. Fred was sure that his parents would agree with his climbing the stonewalls.

D. Fred' grandfather encouraged him to do things for himself.

2.Why wasn't Fred allowed to climb the stonewalls at first?

A. Because he was too young to climb the stonewalls on his own.

B. Because his parents were very strict with him.

C. Because his family thought it was dangerous to climb the stonewalls.

D. Because his grandpa didn't like him going out.

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A. The TV program Mister Rogers' Neighborhood is popular with children in America.

B. Fred's grandpa wanted Fred to be a host of the TV program.

C. There's only one person in this whole world that likes Fred as he is.

D. When Fred was young, he didn't take his parents' opinions seriously.

When my family moved to America from in 2016 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States. I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive（敏感）Americans are and how they dislike the description "old". I then apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.

In China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect old people because they know they can learn from their rich experience. However, in the United States, people think "growing old" is a problem since "old" shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young.

After that, I changed the way I had been with old people. It is not that I don't respect them anymore; I still respect them, but now I don't show my feelings through words.

1.Jack brought the couple their food very fast because _______.

A. the manager asked him to do so B. he respected the elderly

C. the couple wanted him to do so D. he wanted more pay

2.When Jack called the couple “elderly”, they became _______.

A. nervous B. satisfied C. unhappy D. excited

3.In Jack’s hometown, _______.

A. people dislike being called “old”

B. people are proud of being old

C. many people reach the age of seventy or eighty

D. the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants

4.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.

B. Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.

C. The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.

D. From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.
