One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?

In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, which Americans would call the second floor.

The story shows that there are a few cultural differences between Britain and America, though the British and Americans both speak English.

The British usually hide their feelings. They seldom start a conversation with strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But Americans are quite different. They're more active and easier to talk with.

The British and Americans may use different terms for the same things. The British usually use football, eraser and mail while Americans prefer to use soccer, rubber and post.

1.Simon went to London to ________.

A. visit his friend B. spend his holiday

C. study English D. have a meeting

2.According to the passage, the British usually spend their time ___on the train.

A. playing cards B. talking loudly

C. doing some reading D. singing and dancing

3.What does the underlined word "terms" mean in Chinese in the passage?

4.What's the best title for the passage?

A. Differences in culture B. Simon's funny story

任務(wù)型閱讀 閱讀下面的短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成表格中所缺信息，每空限填一個單詞。

If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver， just try the following things：

Be open to others. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide（藏）it. When they get to know you are a shy kid， they will understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable in talks.

Try to smile more. When you smile， people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings too and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.

Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation， say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?

Get your attention elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your look or whether people like you or not. You will become relaxed and find it’s not so hard to talk with others.

Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “Hi!” or smile at someone， say to yourself “You can make it.” Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk to others.

A team of students who were successful in their work got together to visit their old teacher after graduating from college many years later. The talk soon turned into complaints about in work and life.

Before offering his students coffee, the teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and different kinds of cups—plastic, glass, porcelain(陶瓷), crystal(水晶), some common and cheap, some beautiful and 16 —telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

After all the guests had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said: “If you noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the common and cheap ones. While it is for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is where your problems and stress come from. We all know that the cup itself no quality to the coffee. In most cases is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you all went for the best cups. And then you began looking at each other’s cups.”

Now consider this: is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold life, and the type of cup we have does not decide, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by only paying attention to the cup, we to enjoy the coffee God has provided us.

God makes the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee!

“The people don’t have the best of everything. They just the best of everything.”

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

1.A. stress B. difficulty C. sadness D. loss

2.A. excellent B. bright C. expensive D. comfortable

3.A. careful B. natural C. polite D. formal

4.A. increases B. affords C. adds D. provides

5.A. this B. it C. either D. one

(1)你最喜歡什么顏色？Do you like yellow, orange and red? You do, you must be a person full of hopeful happy feeling about life. Do you like gray and blue? Then maybe you are quiet, and you would rather go after than go before. And sometimes you feel unhappy. If you love green, you are strong-minded. You wish to do everything well and want other people to see you are successful. (2) A __________ They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite colour as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. (2) B __________ A yellow room makes us feel happier and more comfortable than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and gladness to the saddest winter day. (3)Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have few accidents when their machines are painted(漆)orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a new colourful thing. Remember also that you will know your friends better when you find out what colours they like or dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character( 性格)when you choose something in different colours.

2.把下面的選項(xiàng)放在合適的位置。__________ (A./B)
