It happened to be a beautiful summer afternoon, and Mr. Phillip was taking a walk in the downtown area of Paris, capital of France.
When he turned to a street corner, he heard the voice of a lovely French singer coming from a nearby restaurant. The sweet music attracted him, so he went into the restaurant to hear it better. Mr. Phillip sat down quietly at a table near the door. Noticing the waiter come over, he ordered a glass of French wine.
The waiter returned with the glass of wine and put it on the table. Mr. Phillip started drinking the wine slowly and watching other people in the restaurant. There were three customers sitting at a table near him. He could tell by their accents that one of them was an American, one an Englishman and the third man was a funny-looking stranger. The polite waiter served each of the three men a glass of beer. By chance, each glass had a fly in it.
Out of curiosity, Mr. Phillip watched carefully what they were going to do. To his amusement, he found that each of them took a quite different attitude. The American picked up his glass, took a hard look at the fly, and then poured the fly and half of his beer on the floor. The Englishman looked into the glass, noticed the fly and reached for a spoon, with which he took the fly out of the beer and drank the rest of it. And the stranger noticed the fly in the beer, picked it with his fingers, squeezed (挤压) it carefully in order to save every drop of beer, then drank it up.
1.Mr. Phillip went into the restaurant to _____.
A. have something to eat after the walk B. wait for a friend there
C. meet his three friends there D. enjoy the pleasant music
2.The restaurant where Mr. Phillip had a drink must be _____.
A. a first-class one B. a rather dirty place
C. expensive and comfortable D. a place where only beer was served
3.Of all the three customers at the table, _____.
A. the stranger drank the most from the glass
B. the Englishman wasted half of his beer
C. the stranger was the cleverest
D. the American liked the beer best

I was looking out the window that summer afternoon. It was as if the trees were inviting me to join in their impromptu(即兴的) dances as they played hide and seek in the misty fog. A strange stillness surrounded me as I sat in the hotel hall, waiting for the taxi to take me to the music camp site. I had flown for sixteen hours to attend a music camp in Michigan for three weeks. Excited more than I was nervous, I felt ready for new meetings.
A week passed like a breeze, and my cello(大提琴) notes were becoming sweeter. I took a break to the school shop with another Chinese friend. As I picked out my newfound favorite American candy bar, I noticed my friend chatting with another Chinese girl. I soon joined in with natural ease, and discovered that we were the only other Asians at the camp. It felt like a good chance that our friendship was formed forever.
During the orchestra rehearsals(排演), Mr. Lastrapes, a genius at discovering the slightest off-key note(走音的音符), persuaded me to relax my tightened arms with his soft voice and gentle manners, thereby allowing me to release notes that I could never create before. We continued to have two hours of rehearsals every day in a large hall that could hold 4,000 people. What we had instead was an audience of ducks and geese outside that swam so freely and happily to our melody(曲调). How an unusual experience I had!
All things, good or bad, must come to an end, when I waited to board the plane, I was looking out the airport window, thinking back at the heartfelt moment of farewell with my friend, Caroline, at the camp gates. We had promised to meet again, but how and when, she was returning to Kentucky, and I, to China. The cello strings were not long or tight enough to keep us connected.

A.He felt excited to find out the great fun in nature.

C.the author was lucky to make some lifelong friends.
D.the author found it easy to communicate with Asians.

B.He wanted to show he was relaxed and enjoyed the process.
