3.I remember a day when I was a little kid.I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the date on one of the wine bottles.
"Dad,dad!"I cried."This wine is too old to drink."
"Son,hold on,"he said.
"No,you can't drink this tonight!This bottle of wine was made 10years ago."
"Wait,let me tell you…"
"Would you like me to throw it away fro you?"I asked.
"Son,wait a second,"he said."Son,some wines get better over time.The longer you wait to drink it,the better it will be.Although this may seem strange,it is true."
When I was young,I didn't have any understanding of what this meant,but now,this would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenage years.
In our society,we forget this simple rule:The longer you want for certain things,the better they will be.But we want the best job as quickly as possible; we want to graduate from college in as few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends.When we do this,we lose something of great importance.
We all want to get to the next step so quickly that perhaps we don't get ready enough to get there.This has a negative effect on our society.When trying to go to the right college,we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our class-work,we may not study enough for the test,and end up failing.We need to be ready for whatever comes,ready for the unexpected.Wine gets better over time,so do the things in our paths of life.

56.Why did the author tell his father not to drink the bottle of wine?B
A.Because it smelt terrible.
B.Because it had been kept for years.
C.Because it was mixed with something else.
D.Because his father drank too much that night.
57.What the author's father saidA.
A.made the author puzzled when he was a little child.
B.was too simple a rule to be meaningful to the author.
C.threw the author into deep thought then.
D.was an excuse to drink the wine.
58.In the author's opinion,if we do things too quickly,we willD.
A.do it better
B.save much time
C.graduate from college more quickly
D.miss something useful to us in life
59.Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the passage?B
A.Well begun is half done.
B.More haste,less speed.
C.Failure is the mother of success.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

    The last stage of culture shock is called"adjustment".In this stage,you have reached a point where you actually feel good.(39)EThe things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand.Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable.
Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.(40)CIt also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another (e.g.,from high school to college).

14.Present or Future?
Americans are future-minded.They really live in the future.The present is just a way station. This enthusiasm for the future is really not shared even by all European countries.The French are known to be present-minded while the British are often called past-minded.For Japanese Zen followers,time is like a pool of water.Things just happen.There is no past,present or future.Egyptians are well known for their past mindedness.
I did not grow up with a telephone.So the Yellow Pages were something brand new for me when I first arrived in the U.S..I still had the habit of going to a store only to find out that it didn't have what I needed.My wife used to ask,"Didn't you call before going there?"The concept of calling ahead of time requires planning and a future mind,while my upbringing was in a present-minded culture.
One thing my nuclear family enjoys when my mom visits is her cooking.So normally I ask my mom a couple of days in advance what things she needs for the upcoming meals.She is always sure that she has everything.The truth is that many times,in the middle of cooking,she will ask for items we don't have.That shows a present mind.You deal with it when you get there instead of doing advanced planning.
Listening to weather forecasts and then living your life accordingly is a sign of a future mind. Normally,when I get to work and see everyone walking around with their umbrellas,I figure that it will rain today.Here people are trained from their childhood to figure out at least that day's expected weather before leaving the house.I am normally missing my umbrella because it was not raining and the sky did not have dark clouds.Here my present mind gets me wetevery time.
Mainstream Americans have put inside themselves the clock to a degree which is beyond the comprehension of many cultures across the globe.So the annoyance many Americans face when working with people from other cultures is understandable.In today's dialogue,building the bridge to the 21st century may turn out to be easier than building bridges with other cultures,which may appear to be so foreign.However,they are vital partners for our interdependent life on this planet.

60.The author was most likely born inB.
A.America       B.France    C.Britain    D.Egypt
61.Which is true about the author?A
A.He was more future-minded than his mother.
B.He received most of his education in Japan.
C.He learned to check the weather before going out.
D.He disliked calling the store before going shopping.
62.What's the main idea of the last paragraph?D
A.Americans value time more than any other culture.
B.Americans should be understood by other cultures.
C.Communication between cultures is easier than before.
D.Harmony should be achieved despite cultural differences.

12.Hallmark  arrived in my hometown of Calcutta,India when I was 16.On Valentine's Day(情人節(jié)),I waited in line with many other teenagers just for a chance to get into the store.I remember wishing two things.One of them is that the good-looking boy whom I could see through the store window was picking out a gift for me.Unfortunately,Valentine's Day passed and I received nothing but a lecture from my father on how Western capitalism(資本主義) was ruining your culture.
The next Valentine's Day,I still didn't have a boyfriend,but I did receive a greeting card from a secret admirer.I can't remember what it exactly said inside the card,but it hardly mattered.I know I'm not the only one who's had the blues because of being single on Valentine's Day.
It's not just on Valentine's Day that I'm reminded of these feelings.One night,my friend and I were at the subway station in New York City waiting for the local to arrive.The station was mostly full of college students,and later an older couple walked in.Just at that moment,a street musician started playing She's Only a Woman to Me.The couple began dancing around the station and lost in their own world.On the train,I found myself recalling the time when I was with a date at the subway station,and there he picked me up in his arms like I was a ballerina(芭蕾舞女演員).
My view of romance has changed from when I was 16in Calcutta to now,23,and living in Manhattan.This year,I won't focus all my romantic expectations on one particular day.I'll spend Valentine's Day with friends in New York City.But I won't try to hide somewhere or turn off my cellphone.Instead,I'll help my coupled-up friends pack for their weekend trips to Rome.

55.The underlined word"Hallmark"in Paragraph 1probably refers to aC.
A.city       B.street
C.store      D.man
56.We can infer that in the opinion of the writer's fatherB.
A.his daughter should have received a gift
B.people in India shouldn't celebrate Valentine's Day
C.people in India should welcome Western culture
D.his daughter should know more about capitalism
57.According to Paragraph 2,if someone has the blues,he or she is probablyD.
A.lucky          B.a(chǎn)ngry
C.excited        D.sad
58.What is implied in the passage?D
A.The writer now has a boyfriend.
B.The writer now is afraid of Valentine's Day.
C.The writer will go to Rome with her coupled-up friends.
D.The writer's attitude towards Valentine's Day has changed.
