Wherever there was a thick fog in the city, the first person that arrived late usually wrote “Delayed by fog” below his name and then everyone else who came after that just put “The Same”.

If American customs seem strange, remember that Americans feel the same way when they visit another country, people living in different cultures do many daily things differently from one another. What a dull(not interesting or boring) the world would be if this were not true!
Some differences are small, and one soon becomes used to them. For example, many people find it strange that Americans move from place to place so often. Born in one city, they may attend school in a second, enter business in a third, and perhaps move several times during their lives. Today, most Americans fully expect and accept the fact that they will move frequently.
However, houses are of great interest to Americans. They spend a lot of time thinking, reading and talking about their homes and how to improve them. They also enjoy looking at other people’s houses, since they would enjoy visiting and examining a house in another country, they may suppose that you will probably have the same desire(strong wish) when you visit the United States. So do not be surprised when you visit an American family and are shown every room in the house besides the bathroom and kitchen.
39. The first paragraph suggests that___.
A. only American customs prove to be strange
B. customs are different in different times
C. customs are different from country to country

A shopping center is a place where many different shops and stores are collected under one roof(屋顶). You can buy everything there, and there are also banks, restaurants and, sometimes, a post office.
There are other places in the United States which are called five-and- ten-cent stores because they used to sell things for 5 to 10 cents. Today they sell almost anything and some of the things cost several dollars. Supermarkets are found in all the cities. They sell food and many other goods. You walk around the supermarket, choose the things you want, put them into a special basket prepared by the store and pay for them all together at the door. Supermarkets often stay open later than other stores.
Stores are usually open every day of the week except on Sunday. Some close on Saturdays in July and August.
43. The shops and stores in a shopping center are ____.

When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West, you often see a lot of people walking dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reason why people keep a dog has changed. In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks(攻击) by other beasts(野兽). And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dogs would not eat what was caught without permission.
But now people in the city need not protect themselves from attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.
47. According to the passage, in the old days people trained dogs____.
A. for protection against robbery B. just for fun
C. for companionship D. for protection against other animals
48. The dogs were used for hunting because ___.
A. they were good hunters B. they obeyed their masters
C. they were useful for protection D. they did not eat other animals
49. The most important reason for people to keep dogs now is ____.
A. they need companion B. they like children
C. they enjoy hunting D. they want to protect themselves
50. We can know from the passage that____.
A. dogs can be helpful to those who need friends
B. city people always feel lonely
C. dogs can be interesting
D. the city can be very dangerous place

书面表达
…I think one of the reasons is that their families are too poor to afford to send them to school. As a result, they have to stay at home to get money to keep their families. Another reason is that many parents think it useless for the girls to study and they do not like them to go to school. A third reason is that some children are not interested in their lessons, and do not want to go to school. In my opinion, all children, including girls, should have the chance to receive education. Everybody should pay attention to the education of the children who will play a very important part in the future of our country.
