Mr. and Mrs. Smith have just opened a small restaurant. They want people to come to the restaurant to eat, so they put a sign in front of it, which said: "Meals on the house for three days."
A foreign student who didn"t know much English passed by the restaurant on the second day. It was lunchtime and he felt hungry. "Well, here is a restaurant. I"m going to have something to eat," he said.
He saw the sign when he walked towards the restaurant. "American people are really strange. They even eat on the house! But how can I get onto the top of the house?" he asked himself
He looked around and found a ladder(梯子)against a tree nearby. He was very pleased. But as he got up to the top, he heard someone shouting at him: "Hey, what are you doing up there?" Mr. Smith was looking at him angrily. Beside him was a policeman.
“Doesn"t your sign say "Meals on the house for three days"? Is it just a joke?" the foreign student answered.
On hearing this, both Mr Smith and the policeman laughed. "Do you know what "60n the house" means? Look it up in your dictionary."

Head teacher, teachers, grandparents, parents and classmates, I’m very proud that I have been chosen to speak to you all today. I’m a bit nervous as I’ve never made a speech before to so many people, so please forgive me if it shows!
As we all know, this is the school leavers’ party, and it’s time to say goodbye to everyone. We’re sorry to leave you at the end of our junior high school education, and we promise that we"ll never forget the happy times we have spent in these buildings with you all.
I’d like to thank three groups of people for the three things I’ve learnt while I’ve been a pupil at our school. The three things are friendship, love and knowledge.
The first group is my friends, and what I’ve learnt is the importance of friendship. We’ve worked hard together, we’ve even shared some difficult times together, but we’ve also had a lot of fun. Many of us will go to new schools and we may not see each other so often in the future. Others will go on to senior high school and continue their close friendships. But friends don’t have to see each other all the time. Sometimes the friends you treasure most are the friends you see less often. A life without old friends is like a day without sunshine. We"ll always stay in touch.
The second group is our parents and grandparents. We thank you for the love you have shown us during our years at junior high school, for making a home where we feel both safe and relaxed, and where we can prepare ourselves for our school days. We also thank you for your help with our homework. How many of us owe our good grades to the suggestions you have made during those long evenings?
And finally, the third group is our teachers. We can never pay you back for your kindness, your patience, and gift of knowledge which you have offered us; sometimes you’ve made us work very hard. But you have always been fair and you’ll always be our role models. There’s a saying from Ireland which is a favourite of mine: Strangers are only friends you haven’t met yet.
I couldn’t say it better myself. So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all and wish you success for the future.
小题1:Who was the speech made by?| A．A teacher | B．A student | C．A parent | D．A manager |
小题2:What’s the purpose of the speech?| A．To thank people. | B．To look forward to the future. | | C．To say sorry. | D．To worry about the tests. |
小题3:Which words can you use to describe the tone?| A．troubled | B．worried | C．excited | D．humorous |

No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression（印象）from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are five tips to help you make it through the first day in a new job:
① First impression can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.
② Get to work on time . Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.
③ Pay attention to introductions. You may be introduced to your workmates. They will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.
④ Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If you are not told your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.
⑤ Never be the first one to leave. Watch what others do at the end of work hours. It does not look good for you to be eager(急切的) to leave.
