Friendships between Amer
6、icans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.
7、This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flow more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life.
8、They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they welcome us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. T
9、his is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their we
10、lcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welco
11、me will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!11The writer of this passage must be
12、_.A. an American B. a professorC. a Chinese D. a student12Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.B. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.C. Americans will continue their f
13、riendships again even after a long break.D. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.13From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be _.A. warmly welcomed at the airport B. offered a ride to his homeC. tr
14、eated to dinner in a restaurantD. treated hospitably at his home14A suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”.A. Friendships between ChineseB. Americans and Chineses views of friendshipsC. Americans hospitalityD. Friendships between AmericansEnglish is the most widely used language in th
15、e history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the worlds books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary perhaps as many as two million words.However, lets face it: English is a crazy langu
16、age. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which arent sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings ar
17、e square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers dont fing, grocers dont groce, and hammers dont ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldnt the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese so one moose, two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat c
18、hance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creat
19、ivity of human beings. Thats why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.15According to the passage _.A. boxing rings should be roundB. pineapples are the appl
20、es on the pine treeC. there should be an egg in an eggplantD. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things16Which of the following has the similar meaning?A. Quite a lot and quite a few. B. Overlook and oversee.C. A wise man and a wise guy. D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.17Through the many para
21、doxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are _.A.lazy B. crazyC. clever D. stupidYou wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the dra
22、ma starts. The person on the other end has a depressing (令人沮丧的) tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative (消极的) people can wash out your happiness. It
23、may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder th
24、ey can hardly win others pity or respect.When you communicate with positive (积极的) people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger (匕首) of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that, all in all, brings you down.Sometimes we have
25、no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to a negative person, but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they wont fe
26、el ashamed of themselves about that.Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to (附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Sta

By comparing their attitude to life with ours.D. By changing our way of thinking.19Some negative people base their happiness on _.A. ot
28、her peoples pity for themB. building up a positive attitudeC. making other people unhappyD. other peoples respect for them20According to the passage, to reduce negative peoples influence on us, we are advised _.A. to change negative peoples attitude to lifeB. to show our dissatisfaction to negative
29、peopleC. to communicate with negative people as little as possibleD. to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves21What can we learn about negativity?A. Its effect can be completely avoided.B. Its effect can last.C. It hardly happens among family members.D. Its effect is smaller than the effec

They are able to hold their breath for up to 10 minutes by slowing down their heart rate, allowing them to hunt for their prey
33、 for a longer period of time. They have been known to continuously hunt for up to 30 hours at a time, with their eyesight and hearing playing an important part in finding their food.

If the baby can survive long enough, they can live to be 20 to 25 years old.California sea lions are not listed as an endangered species.
