Her husband, who was a musician, had died, and left her very poor indeed.The businessman
2、saw that the woman and her daughter, who was with her, were in great distress. He looked with pity into their faces, and was convinced by their appearances that their sad story was true.“How much do you want, my good lady?” asked the man. “Five dollars will save us,” said the woman, with some hesita
3、tion.The businessman sat down at his desk, took a piece of paper, wrote a few lines on it, and gave it to the woman with the words, “Take it to the bank you see on the other side of the street.”The grateful woman and her daughter, without stopping to read the note, hurried to the bank. The banker at
4、 once counted out fifty dollars instead of five, and passed it to the woman.She was amazed when she saw so much money. “Sir, there is a mistake here,” she said. “You have given me fifty dollars, and I asked for only five.”The banker looked at the note once more, and said, “The check calls for fifty
5、dollars.”“Its a mistake indeed it is,” said the woman.The banker then asked her to wait a few minutes, while he went to see the businessman who gave her the note.“Yes,” said the gentleman when he had heard the bankers story. “I did make a mistake.

8、t was fifty dollars.D. Because the womans honesty was worth more than fifty dollars.BIts difficult to decide what proper tip (小费) should be given in any country. Asia, with its various cultures and customs, is particularly difficult. To make your next trip a little easier, heres a guide to tipping:B
9、angkok In general, the more westernized (西方化的) the place is, the more likely youll be expected to leave a tip. Some top-end restaurants will add a 10% service charge to the bill. If youre staying at one of Bangkoks many five-star restaurants, youre expected to tip the porter (门童) 20 to 50 baht (泰铢),
10、 depending on how many bags you have. If youre in a taxi, local custom is to round the final fare up to the nearest multiple (倍数) of five baht.Hong Kong Different from the rest of China, tipping is common in this money-mad modern city. Most restaurants automatically add a 10% service charge to the b
11、ill. If the service is good, add another 10% to the bill, up to HK$100 in an especially nice restaurant. For hotel porters, HK$10 should do it at all, but in the nicest hotels HK$20 may be more acceptable. Seoul Tipping is not part of Korean culture, although it has become a matter of course in inte
12、rnational hotels where a 10% service charge is often added. Normally you dont have to add anything extra, but if you are at a top-end hotel, youre expected to pay the porter 500-1,000 won (韩元) per bag. Taxi drivers dont expect a tip. Keep the change for yourself.Taipei Like Japan and China, Taiwan i
13、s not a tipping society. Tipping is not expected in restaurants. However, that rule is changing as American-style restaurants introduce western ways.

14、e there are different cultures and customs. B. Because Asian countries are not tipping societies.C. Because most Asian countries are not rich.D.

16、 are not useful in other parts of China.17. The article may probably come from _.A. a television news programB. a geography lessonC. a newspaper on politicsD. a magazine about travelling CCollege isnt just about learning. Different from popular belief, once you go to college, studying is almost the
17、last thing on your mind. For me at least, I was always busy looking for things of my interest in the first school term, and time just flew away. Many of us felt that we were still alone, lacking such friends that we could stay with all day long, like in high school years. This is where “Greek life”
18、comes to play.“Greek life” is now popular in American colleges and universities. To make it easier to understand, it is a system of many student clubs with names of Greek letters or words. An example would be “Delta Delta Delta” or “Gamma Phi Beta”. These clubs are known to be strong brother or sist
19、erhoods, having at least 20 or more members.Greek life offers students an opportunity to try something new. Its a chance to know new people and begin new friendships. The clubs are often related to charity (慈善) events and can be the “life” of the school.So Greek life means good college life? I would
20、 say: No. In my opinion, the club activities are often just based on some simple things like what they wear and what they look like, and on “coolness” and the willingness to party with the fellow brothers or sisters. To prepare for club activities, girl members often have to buy clothes of certain b
21、rands (品牌), which are expensive. Besides, the competition to enter a club is not good for every students development, because it may mean that the club shuts you out of opportunities, not helping you develop your interest. Its against the belief of real Greek life.18. What does the writer think of l
22、earning in college?A. Its the most important thing for students.B. Many students including the writer ignore it.C. It helps students to find their life-long friends.D.

23、e those in high schoolB. college students find learning in college very boringC. its been a tradition since the ancient Greek timesD. college students want to bring something traditional back to life20. According to the article, “Greek life” is _.A. a way of life dating back to the ancient Greek tim
24、esB. a system of many student clubs with Greek namesC. a college course learning about the Greek lifeD. a kind of good college life all the students like21. What do we know about “Greek life” from the article?A. It offers the only opportunity for students to know new friends.B. It focuses on campus
25、life but does little to help people in need.C. All club girls and boys wear expensive clothes in club activities.D. Not every student has a good chance to be accepted by the clubs. DErnest Miller Hemingway (海明威) was born in 1899 in America. His father was a doctor and he was the second of six childr
26、en. Their home was at Oak Park, an area outside the city of Chicago.In 1917, Hemingway joined a popular newspaper Kansas City Star as a reporter. In the following year, also the last year of World War I, he volunteered to work as a driver in Italy, where he was badly wounded in the war. He returned
27、to America in 1919 and married in 1921. Since 1922 he reported on the war between Greece and Turkey for two years, and then he decided to give up the job and devote himself to writing. He settled in Paris where he became a good friend of such famous American writers as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein.
28、 Their encouragement and criticism (批评) were to play a valuable part in his writing style.Hemingways first two published works were Three Stories and Ten Poems and In Our Time, but it was the satirical (讽刺的) novel, The Torrents of Spring, that made his name widely known. He became world famous after
29、 his next three books came out: Fiesta, Men Without Women and A Farewell to Arms.He was fascinated by bullfighting, hunting and deep-sea fishing, and his writing was often related to these interests. He visited Spain during the Spanish Civil War and described his experiences in the bestseller, For W
30、hom the Bell Tolls.Many people have tried to learn his simple but special style of writing.

34、llery. You might also get anxious and start thinking of things to say so you dont look silly. But is it really so hard to enjoy art?Its a good idea to read the explainers and pay for voice guides. A piece of art is a result of feelings from a certain time and place in history. Follow those who know
35、about it. Their explanation saves you lots of time of surfing on the Internet looking for relative information. A voice guide is good if you want to be alone with the art works, _26_.Be mindful and conscious. This is not easy especially with abstract (抽象的) art. Dont judge it. Put yourself in it and
36、feel it. Take an abstract painting for example: its paint and surface, nothing else. Feel the disorder. The energy. The difference. The changes. _27_, not what you see. Ask guiding questions. Questions can be great guides to focus your mind as it processes the art piece. “What am I looking at?” “How
37、 was it made?” “When was it made, and what was happening in the world at that time?” “What is its meaning to us now?” _28_, and help you understand.Learn how people make art. _29_. However, you never truly grasp the difficulties until you learn about and even try it. A good first step to understandi
38、ng how people make art could be to simply watch the process. If youre particularly curious about a certain art type, consider taking a class.Hopefully, some of these techniques will enable you to hate art less, and you might eventually even like it. In todays fast-paced world, simply consuming art c
