24、Are you planning to visit a relative’s or a friend’s place? Then do you know how to behave well? If you don’t know, please don’t be afraid. Here’s some advice for you to be a great guest.

If you are planning to visit the hosts, call them up instead of writing an e-mail. Before your visit, set the exact time period for which you will stay. It’s important that you reach their house on time. They will be happy to have a guest who plans his visit and follows the plan as well.

It will be nice for you to bring a small gift for your hosts. It will be better to get something which is a specialty (特产) of the city you live in.

You must have heard of this saying, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Every family has its own set of rules, so you’d better follow them. For example, don’t offer their children junk food, play loud music or play ball at their house.

While at the dinner table, you should be happy to eat whatever the host gives you because it’s impolite if you refuse. If you want to eat something special, you should cook it for everyone. Remember to help clean the dishes after the meal.

Don’t leave without thanking them for their good treat. Don’t forget to mention how much you enjoy your stay. When you go back, send the hosts some flowers along with a thank-you note expressing that you enjoy your stay. Thank them once again for being so nice to you. Don’t forget to invite the hosts to your place so that you can return the hospitality (好客) and kindness. This will make them feel very nice.

【1】What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?

A．Wherever we are, we need to do as the Romans do.

B．When we visit a new place, people there should follow our rules.

C．We should respect and follow the customs in the place that we visit.

D．We should learn from the Romans because what they do is always right.

【2】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．At table it’s OK to refuse something the host gives us.

B．We should arrive at the house on time.

C．We can show that we enjoy the stay by sending a thank-you note.

D．When we visit others, bringing a specialty of our city is a good idea.

【3】The passage mainly talks about ________.

A．how to be a great host

B．how to behave well at table

C．how to make a plan before a visit

D．how to be a great house guest

25、On the way back from work every evening, more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway (快车道). He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard.

Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give to him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp (坡道). So did he. Sometimes the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!”

Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off. For the rest of that day all I could think of was “how am I going to provide for my kids as a mother, how am I going to pay rent?”

Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others as usual.

While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled (闲逛) over to my car. He had a big smile. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “Today I will give you a dollar.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.

You see that day he taught me a valuable lesson more than a dollar bill. No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. Every time I’m faced with challenges, I think of the homeless man’s valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed.

27、   Can we run away from real life? Is there a world where we can do anything we want? Ready Player One (《头号玩家》）,directed by Steven Spielberg, shows us a world where these things can happen.

The movie is set in 2045.  Most people in the movie arc enjoying themselves in a virtual (虚拟的）world called Oasis for a simple reason—with n pair of goggles (眼镜)they can go anywhere and do anything in this world.

But when Oasis inventor James Halliday dies, he leaves behind a challenge, asking players to find a hidden Easter egg inside his virtual world.  The winner will be able to control Oasis.  Wade Watts, a young man, and his friends set out to win.  The story becomes more and more exciting.

What attracts(吸引）people to watch the film? The 3D sci-fi film’s cool visual effects (视觉特效）are probably the first thing that people will notice.  People who go to the cinema can have a 360-degree view of the film’s virtual world and watch exciting fight scenes(场景). For example, in one scene, Watts drives crazily on a virtual racetrack, with many cars crashing along the way.

However, it’s not all about visual effects.  The movie also encourages people to think about the reality (现实）that is another thing that attracts people.  At the end of the film, Watts meets Hajiiday in the virtual world.  Halliday tells the young man that he created Oasis because he couldn't get along with people in real life, and he feels sorry for that.  After finally realizing “Reality is the only thing that is real”，Watts makes a choice that allows Oasis players to enjoy real life.  What does he do? You may want to watch the film and find out by yourself.

28、 Blame(责备) is one of the biggest problems that we meet in everyday life. 【1】 And when that doesn't happen, we blame other people, places or events that we think are the causes of our unhappiness.

Everything we feel comes from within us. 【2】  

If we create unhappiness for ourselves, the world will show us that unhappiness, but if we create joy, peace, and love for ourselves, this is what we will get back.

Can blame solve any problems? 【3】   When people did something hat makes us angry, afraid or hurt, we are doing nothing more than showing them the anger we feel inside.

We have choices about things that make us unhappy. We sometimes prefer to take the easier choices, the ones that keep us in our comfort zone(地带). 【4】 Sometimes we just have to go beyond our comfort zone, which may mean facing something we don't like. Perhaps we feel like a victim(受害者) and don't stand up for ourselves or speak up when we feel that people don't respect us. Maybe we are afraid of a situation, so we run away from it, instead of facing it with inner strength.

Whatever the problem is, we have a choice every day to face it with blame, fear, anger, guilt(内疚), or with love, kindness, peace. 【5】   Don't blame. Enjoy your day.
