Here is an example to 4 the differences. Japan is a
16、 5 country. It is not 6 in Japan to offer a gift to a person who is 7 or has been helpful. When people do that, the gifts 8 be substantial and expensive. 9 , at least in the typical Japanese style, it is not 10 to attach a thank-you note or card to the gift. Japanese people may express their 11 and
17、friendship directly through the gift they have 12 and given to the person they love and respect. In 13 , you are likely to get more cards 14 gifts in the United States.

22、 house with two young Americans, Jim and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, hut we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with
23、 me with his very English-like pronunciation. I was often touched by his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him, too. So we often spoke at the same time in the other“s mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only
24、time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we sat around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his fridge. He was too busy da
25、ting pretty French girls to do any shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didn“t need to do that. He said that it was Jim“s own fault and that it served him right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still held his American sense of values. Two y
26、ears later, I returned to China. The three of us still keep in touch, Jim now works in a travel agency in Paris. He got married to one of the pretty girls. He wrote to tell us that he can now enjoy a delicious breakfast with his beautiful wife every morning in their comfortable living room. Steve wa
27、nts to work in China. And I“m helping him with this. I have introduced him to the dean of the Oversea Section of our university. He is very interested in Steve. He wants to know if Steve can work here teaching the oversea students Chinese. I have sent the message to Steve. I“m sure he“d be very happ
28、y to accept the job. However, I hope he could try harder to improve himself.

Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who
33、enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything
34、in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his
35、 pains: he is not so free to do as what he wishes to do; he is continually being told what to do and what not to do. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents; but at the same time h
36、e is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to
37、break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard, goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society. Old age has always been thought of as t
38、he worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age cowries wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life, they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perha
39、ps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.（分数：10.00）(1).The happiest people should be those who _.（分数：2.00）A.face up to
40、difficulties in lifeB.hope to be young againC.enjoy life in different agesD.wish to grown up(2).The word “they“ underlined in Line 4, Para. 2 refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.older peopleB.new thingsC.childrenD.interests(3).A child has his pains because _.（分数：2.00）A.he can not do whatever he wants toB.he is n
41、ot allowed to play in rainC.he has a lot of new things to learnD.he can not play at the seaside freely(4).When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to _.（分数：2.00）A.live comfortablyB.take responsibilitiesC.make progress in jobD.impress the society(5).The best title of the passage might be _.（分数
42、：2.00）A.Pains and AgesB.Differences in AgesC.The Best Age to BeD.Happiness and Ages六、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet. But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can le
43、ave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves. Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the world“s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has w
44、ritten a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged Ones , and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. “Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,“ says the 53-year-old doctor, “such as better health, education and future work
45、expectation, but most important is the quality of family life. Money can“t buy love.“ It can buy a lot of other things, though, and that“s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents“ over favoring can make them spoiled. They tend to
46、 travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless. “But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,“ adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.“ Today“s rich parents perhaps have realized that their
47、riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children. So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, children of rich families _.（分数：2.00）A.enjoy travelingB.can buy loveC.usually commit suicideD.are not alw
48、ays happy(2).Dr. Robert Coles believes that _.（分数：2.00）A.being rich has as many advantages as being poorB.rich children often get too little entertainmentC.rich children sometimes can“t enjoy the thing they are most in need ofD.rich children aren“t given enough things(3).Which of the following state
49、ments is not true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.It is love that is always lacking in rich and poor families alike.B.Silver spoons can sometimes leave a bitter taste.C.Money can“t buy everything.D.Rich children are often confused because they have so much to choose from.(4).The expression “silver spoons“ in Paragraph 1 means _.
