24、 Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold.

29、_.A. Christopher Columbus B.

But this story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think o
30、f this story. It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on important things in life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went: An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the sub-way. He wou
31、ld get onto the train right to Central Lon-don, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years. His house was dirty, and a stench (恶臭) came out of the house and it smelled terrible. The neighbo
32、rs could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years. The police counted the money, and they soon realized tha
33、t the old man was a millionaire (百万富翁). They waited outside his house expecting to share the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire. But the old man said nothi
34、ng at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg. Clearly, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant (有意义的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than st
35、aying focused on the things we enjoy doing. 60.The underlined part in the first paragraph may mean _.A. I get tired of learning my subjects B. I fail to listen to lessons attentivelyC.

37、t worried D. became nervous63.What lesson do we learn from the story?A. Make great plans for your life. B. Keep on doing what you like.C. Do something that is good to society. D. Depend on yourself rather than others.CChina is known as a state of manners and ceremony. Many proverbs have been passed
38、down from generation to generation such as “Polite behavior costs nothing” or “Showing respect demands reciprocity (相互) and so on. For instance, there is an interesting short story. Once upon a time, a man went on a long tour to visit his friend with a swan as a gift. But it escaped from the cage on
39、 the way. Though he tried hard, he got hold of nothing but a feather. Instead of returning home, he continued his journey with the swan feather. When his friend received this unexpected gift, he was deeply moved. And the saying “The gift is nothing much, but its the thought that counts.” was spread
40、far and wide. Chinese used to cup one hand in the other before the chest as a greeting. This tradition has a history of more than 2, 000 years and nowadays it is seldom used except in the Spring Festival. And shaking hands is more popular on some formal occasions. Bowing, as to show respect to the h
41、igher level, is often used by the lower like subordinates (下级), students, and attendants. But at present Chinese youngsters prefer to simply nod as a greeting. To some degree this development shows the ever-increasing paces of modern life. It is common social practice to introduce the junior to the
42、senior, or the familiar to the unfamiliar. When you start a talk with a stranger, the topics such as weather, food, or hobbies may be good choices to break the ice. For a man, a chat about current affairs, sports, stock market or his job can usually go on smoothly. Similar to Western customs, you sh
43、ould be careful to ask a woman private questions. However, relaxing talks about her job or family life will never put you into danger. She is usually glad to offer you some advice on how to cook Chinese food or get used to local life. Things will be quite different when youve gotten to know them. Th
44、ough Chinese are said to be implicit (含蓄的), they are actually humorous enough to be pleased about the jokes of Americans. 64.

47、arly morning of Wednesday, April 18, 1906: I was awakened by a loud noise, which might be compared to the mixed sounds of a strong wind flowing through a forest and the breaking of waves against a rock.
