Hello. This is as good a way as any to welcome you to this passage.
The word “hello” is 16 used more often than any other one in the English language. Everybody in the United States and elsewhere 17 the word, again and again, every day of the week.
The first thing you hear when you 18 the phone is “hello”.
Where did the word come from? There are all sorts of beliefs. Some say it came from the French, “ho” and “la”—“Ho, there!” This 19 may have arrived in England during the year 1066.
“Ho, there” slowly became20 that sounded like “hallow”, often heard in the 1300’s.
Two hundred years later, “hallow” had become “halloo”. And later, sounds like “halloa”and “hallo”were often used by sailors and huntsmen, “Halloo” is 21 used today by fox hunters.
As time 22 , “halloo” and “halloa” changed into “hullo”. And during the 1800’s this was how people greeted each other in America.
The American inventor, Thomas Edison, is believed to be the 23 person to use “hello” in the late 1800’s, soon after the invention of the telephone.
At first, people had greeted each other on the telephone 24 “Are you there?” They were not sure the new instrument could really 25 voices.
Thomas Edison, however, was a man of 26 words. He wasted no time. The first time he picked up the phone he did not ask if anyone was there. He was 27 someone was, and simply said, “Hello”.
From that time on —only about 100 years ago, the “hullo” became “hello” as it is heard today.
Of course, there are other 28 Americans greet one another. Not long ago, people often said, “How are you?” when they first met someone. This later became “hiyah”. Then, someone thought t hat two syllables were too much and “hiyah” became “hi”. Laziness is a strong force in 29 language.
Answering a telephone call in America still presents problems; however, telephone companies think that Thomas Edison’s short “hello” is too long. Why w aste time? The phone companies say.
Simply pick up the phone, 30 your name, and start talking.

When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.
Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.
Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.
Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.

Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.
At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate —refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery —that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.
Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.
( )36. The underlined word “cure” in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.
A. a medical treatment

( )37. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.

D. help the Javanese with their illness
( )38. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?
A. To eat them.
B. To carry out his experiments.

D. To make money by selling them.
( )39. If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d better ______.
A. eat more rice
B. eat more meat
C. eat some chicken
D. eat vitamin pills
( )40. We can learn from the passage that ______.

C
America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans 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. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower 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. 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 include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This 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 welcome usually at homes, but truly can not 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 welcome 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!
( )41. The writer of this passage must be ______.
A. an American
B. a Chinese
C. a professor
D. a student
( )42. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
( )43. From 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 home
C. treated hospitably at his home
D. treated to dinner in a restaurant
( )44. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.
A. strict with time
B. serious with time
C. careful with time
D. willing to spend time
( )45. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.
A. Friendships between Chinese
B. Friendships between Americans
C. Americans’ hospitality
D. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships
D
The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”
“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”
But, one y ounger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”
I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you s pend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do i t. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
( )46. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed
B. How to make friendship last for ever
C. You are who your friends are
D. Friends are the most important in one’s success

A. they’ll push you ahead

C. they’ll cover your shortcomings
D. they’ll help you achieve your goal
( )48. The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.
A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poor
B. people have poor taste in music
C. people have different attitudes towards the same thing
D. young people have greater chances of succeeding

Like most of my schoolmate, I have neither brothers nor sisters – in any other words, I am an only child. My parents love me dear of course and will do all they can to make sure that I get a good education. They did not want me to do any work at family. They want me to devote all my time to my studies so that I’ll get good marks in all my subject. We may be one family and live under a same roof, but we do not seem to get much time to talk about together. It looks as if my parents treat me as a visitor and a guest. Do they really understand their own daughter? What things are in other homes, I wonder.
