During one of my visits to Brooklyn not long ago,he and I were in the car,on our way to a supermarket,one of my father's weekly routines."You know,you're not as successful as you could be," he began as usual."You paid your dues in school.You deserve better restaurants,better clothes." Here we go,I thought,the same old staff.I'm sure every family has five and six similar big issues that are replayed like well-worn video tapes.I wanted to change this topic when we stopped at a red light.Just then,my father turned to me,solemn and intense."I envy you," he said quietly."For a man to do some thing he likes and get paid for it（）that's fantastic." He smiled at me before the light changed,and we drove on.To thank him for the understanding,I bought the deodorant and shampoo.For once,my father let me pay.Which of the following statements can best summarize the end of the story?

An embarrassing experience

It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport．I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happeningbefore I reached my flat．In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by theBritish customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty．Itwas, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed mydiplomacy．I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question,"have you read this？" I replied with extreme foolishness,"Yes, hundreds of times．"

"And you have nothing to declare？"

"Nothing．"

"How long have you been out of this country？"

"About three months．"

"And during that time you have acquired nothing？"

"Nothing but what is on the list I have given you．"

He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked．The attack, when it came, was utterlyunexpected．

"Where did you get that watch？"

I could have kicked myself．Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in thebath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped．I hadgone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made astrange noise．It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey．

I explained, but I had already lost face．I produced my own watch from a pocket, and addedthat I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement．

"It is not a question of confiscation," he said, "there is a fine for failing to declare dutiablegoods．And now may I please examine that Rolex？"

It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then hebegan to search my luggage．

When did the writer arrive at London airport？查看材料

A.In the early morning．

B.Late at night．

C.At noon．

D.Late in the morning．

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon and part of it take

n out. Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain.

Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.

Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.

As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.

Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.

1.It is not long since a man felt all the pain while being operated.

2.Long ago, when the sick man was operated on, he could feel nothing.

3.Using the laughing gas, the people seemed to feel pain during the operation.

4.If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he still felt pain.

5.One who took too much of the laughing gas would die.

Chinese wedding tea ceremony is a tradition that dates back to many centuries ago and is

still widely practiced at modern Chinese weddings on the wedding day，either at home or at the banquet.It is an official ritual to introduce the newlyweds to each other’s family，and is also a way to show respect and appreciation (感谢) to their parents. Tea is likely served also because it is the national drink of China.

When the tea itself is served，the newlyweds kneel in front of their parents，serving tea to both sides of parents，as well as elder close relatives. Parents give their words of blessing and gifts to the newlyweds. During tea presentation，a “good luck woman” would say lucky phrases to bless the newlyweds and the parents. This “good luck woman” should be someone who is blessed with

a good marriage，healthy children and husband，and living parents.

Newlyweds also present tea to each other，raising the tea cups high to show respect before presenting to each other.

Passage 1Seven years ago, when I was visiting Germany, I met with an official who explaine

Passage 1

Seven years ago, when I was visiting Germany, I met with an official who explained to me that the country had a perfect solution to its economic problems. Watching the U.S. economy _1_ during the’90s, the Germans had decided that they, too, needed to go the high-technology route. But how？ The answer seemed obvious: Indians. The German government decided that it would _2_ Indians to Germany just as America does: by offering green cards. Officials created something called the German Green Card and announced that they would issue 20,000 in the first year. Naturally, the Germans expected that tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come, and perhaps the _3_ would have to be increased. But the program was a failure. A year later barely half of the 20,000 cards had been issued. After a few extensions, the program was _4_. I told the German official at the time that I was sure the _5_ would fail. Because the German Green Card never, under any circumstances, translated into German citizenship. The U.S. green card, by contrast, is an almost _6_ path to becoming American (after five years and a clean record). The official _7_ my objection, saying that there was no way Germany was going to offer these people citizenship. “All we need are young tech workers，”he said. So Germany was asking bright young _8_ to leave their country, culture and families, move thousands of miles away, learn a new language and work in a strange land一but without any _9_ of ever being part of their new home. Germany was sending a signal, one that was _10_ received in India and other countries, and also by Germany’s own immigrant community.

A) repelled

B) professionals

C) clearly

D)vulnerable

E) lure

F) initiative

G) soar

H)suspicion

I) abolished

J) dismissed

K) dwellers
