24、One day an American man Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat (公寓) was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But a man told him that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why? In fact, the British (英国人) call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, but Americans would call it the second floor.

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

The British don’t like showing their feelings. They hardly start a small talk 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 words for the same things. The British use “football”, “holiday” and “autumn”, but Americans like to use “soccer”, “vacation” and “fall”.

25、Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog’s life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.

Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation（状况） would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.

A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (the name of a kind of dog), is groomed for months before competing in the Oklahoma City Summer Classic Dog Show and can be the winner sometimes. So people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.

Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog(比垃圾场的狗更凶狠). Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this place. They bark or attack people who try to enter the place. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say barking dogs never bark.

Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.

【1】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A. How to live with the dog.

B. Expressions related to(与...相关) the dog.

A. trained   B. honored C. awarded D. dressed

【4】 What can we learn from the passage?

A. Everyone can be successful if he learns from the old.

26、Once upon a time if we wanted to make a phone call or wait for someone to contact us, we had to sit at home or at our desks. There were public phones in the street of course, but it could be hard to find one that was working and there were often long queues to use them. And of course you had to bring a lot of coins to pay for the calls.

So people didn't phone their friends as often. Mobile phones, these small pieces of electronic equipment which allow us to talk with friends and family while we are on the move, have greatly changed the way we live. Before the age of the mobile phone, our loved ones would sit around worried sick if we were late coming home. There were no quick calls to tell mum that there would be additional guests coming for dinner. We would have to depend on notes left on fridges or desks to communicate messages.

But mobile phones have also had a negative effect and what people don't seem to realize is that we've lost something very valuable: our privacy. Now our friends and family can contact us wherever and whenever they want to. We can never get away from them. The way people communicate with each other is totally different now. It's difficult to have a conversation face-to-face with a friend without being disturbed every couple of minutes by the ring of their phones, ,most people don't see anything wrong in having a long conversation on their mobile phone while forgetting all about the person sitting opposite. It seems the art of real conversation may be dying.

Of course, people could leave their mobile phones at home or even switch them off but no one ever does that. Why not? Because the worrying thing is we can't live without our phones. We've become communication addicts, unable to spend even a few minutes out of contact, in case we miss something  'important'.

【1】 What does the underlined sentence tell us?

A、 No all-day public phone service was provided in the street.

B、 Public phones were in poor condition and not always available.

C、 Public phones were everywhere but they were always in use.

D、 You could always see people repairing the public phones.

【2】What's the writer's point about using telephones before the invention of mobile phones?

A、 Using a telephone was expensive.

B、 Phone calls were much shorter.

C、 People made fewer phone calls.

D、 People relied on notes a lot.

【3】What does the writer think about life before mobile phones?

A、 Life was less convenient.

B、 People were more punctual.

C、 Things were more relaxed.

D、 Everyone managed very well.

【4】 What's the writer's main argument against mobile phones?

A、 They have damaged relationships.

B、 We give out too much information.

C、 They are harmful to our body and mind.

D、 It's impossible to escape from them.

【5】Which word best describes how the writer feels about the use of mobile phones.'?

A、 Disappointed.  B、 Satisfied.

C、 Worried.   D、 Surprised.

【6】What's the writer's main purpose in writing this article?

A、 To inform people about means of communication in the past.

B、 To show disadvantages of the way people communicate today.

C、 To advise readers to stop using the mobile phone.

D、 To compare different types of phone conversation.

27、

The lady wondered how someone who has so little could be so kind to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan. The lady finished her meal and paid with a $100 bill. The waitress went to get change (零钱). When she came back, she found the lady had gone and left a note on a piece of paper. “You don’t owe (欠) me anything. Somebody once helped me the way I’m helping you now.
