The Germans are very quiet and they always keep calm. They don’t like to speak more words. They look very serious. They like different kinds of amusements. The Germans are very hard—working. They like tidiness, especially the women, who always keep their home clean.

In some ways, the Englishmen look the same as the Germans. They are very quiet and never talk too much with the strangers. They are really polite, so we often hear they say “Thank you.” Or “Sorry.” The gentlemen are also the Englishmen.

The French’s holidays are very long. They like traveling and usually spend their long time staying in other countries. The Frenchmen are more outgoing than the Germans. It is very easy to make friends with them.

Compared to the Frenchmen, the Americans are more outgoing. And they are even opener than all of the Europeans. They don’t like to depend on others. So it is very common that the students do part-time jobs in their free time. And in Americans’ eyes, success is an important part in their life.

Do you know any 9­year­olds who have started their own museums? When Theodore Roosevelt(罗斯福) was only nine, he and two of his cousins opened the “Roosevelt Museum of Natural History”. The museum was in Theodore's bedroom. It had a total of 12 specimens(标本). On display were a few seashells, some dead insects and some birds' nests. Young Roosevelt took great pride in his small museum.

Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. “I was a sickly, delicate boy，” he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma(哮喘). He often found it hard to breathe.Instead of playing, he observed(观察) nature and then read and wrote about it.

Roosevelt's interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She ordered him to throw them out. This wasindeed “a loss to science”， Roosevelt said later.

Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak. When he was about 12, his father urged him to improve his body. Roosevelt began working out in a gym. He didn't become strong quickly. But he did decide to face life's challenges with a strong spirit. That determination stayed with Roosevelt his whole life. And finally his body did get strong. As an adult, he was an active, healthy person. He enjoyed adventures and loved outdoors.

In 1900, at the age of 41, Roosevelt was elected Vice President. A year later, President McKinley was shot and killed. Roosevelt became the 26th president of the USA.At 42, he was the youngest leader the country had ever had.

1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. Roosevelt's museum had 12 specimens.

B. Roosevelt had two cousins.

C. Roosevelt was a brave man.

D. Roosevelt had a small museum as a boy.

2.Which of the following tells about Roosevelt as a boy?

A. He liked playing outdoors sports.

B. He became the President in 1901.

C. He was interested in observing nature.

D. He was a healthy person full of energy.

3.It can be inferred(推断) that________．

A. Roosevelt's mother liked mice

B. Roosevelt followed his father's advice

C. everyone with asthma is small and weak

D. working out in a gym is a waste of time

4.In which book might you find this passage?

Do foreigners find online shopping fun or painful? Some of my foreign friends have shared their online shopping stories with me.

Ari James (US)

One of the first things I was told about China is Taobao. When I arrived in Nanjing, it didn't long to start buying things from Taobao. I bought bags, shoes and many other things. The most funny thing is that I once ordered 15 large doughnut pillows (甜甜圈枕头) for my teachers. The pillows arrived the very next day in such a huge bag that I carried it to the school like Father Christmas.

Christine (Australia)

I've been shopping online for nearly three years. Now I'm completely in love with Taobao. I can find almost everything I want on it. It took me a long time to get used to online shopping, since most online shops serve Chinese people. But as soon as I got the knack (诀窍), online shopping became quite easy.

Barbara Gordon (US)

I've only used Taobao a few times. Compared with website like Amazon, Taobao is worse. You have to be very careful about what you will buy in order to avoid scams (诈骗). If Taobao can try harder to fight against online scams, it'll be more successful.

Lindy (Canada)

I can't stop shopping on Taobao! I often search for what I want through Taobao for a whole day! I so crazy about traditional Chinese gifts. I won't miss this year's shopping day.
