举一反三
In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone early in the morning. If you telephone early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate(立即的) attention. So it is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think that it’s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests are likely to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be thought silly to make an appointment(约会) too far ahead because plans which are made for a date more than a week away may be forgotten. The meaning of time is not the same in different cultures that treat time differently; being on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible(责任). In the USA no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is asked to make a shout apology (道歉). If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation(解释), though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
小题1:A call at midnight would mean_________.| A．the matter is less important | | B．the matter is too difficult to handle | | C．the matter requires immediate attention | | D．it is a matter of life and death |
小题2:According to the passage, time plays a very important part in__________.| A．everyday life | B．personal life | | C．getting along with others | D．business |
小题3:In the passage, the writer suggests that invitation cards should be sent___________.| A．three or four days before the party date in all cultures | | B．three or four days before the party date in some cultures | | C．three or four days before the party date in the USA | | D．at your chosen time |

Dear Kitty,
I am sorry that I did not write to you earlier because I have been very 1 . I was helping with a charity show to raise money 2 Project Green Hope. A lot of work needed to be finished, so I did not have much free time.
I felt very happy when I was chosen to be the host. It was exciting, 3 I was also very nervous. I knew that lots of people would watch the show and that many famous pop 4 would come, too. We started working on the show half a year ago so that we could do everything on time. My job was to introduce each star and I also had many other duties. We practiced a lot before the show. I had to remember to 5 the right camera at the right time. 6 , I thought I would never be able to remember all the words. Slowly, everything became 7 .
The big day came very quickly, and I was so excited. Twenty minutes before the big event, we opened the doors and many people came into the theatre to watch the show. The fans of the pop stars were making a noise, so I had to speak 8 .
Everything seemed to happen so fast. A lot of 9 has been given to Project Green Hope. I hope more events like this will be organized to raise money for charity and I think more people should be 10 to take part in them.
See you soon.

E–book is short for electronic(电子) book. It is usually read on personal computers. Some mobile phones can also be used to read e–books.
Earlier e–books were written for a certain group of readers and were about only a few subjects. With the development of the Internet, knowledge and answers to a lot of questions mainly come from e–books. This is why the e–book business is increasing quickly.
E–books have many advantages. First, they save time. We don’t need to go a bookstore to buy books. Besides, we can find the topic we want to know about on the Internet, and then we can quickly get many e–books on similar topics. Second, e–books save money. Some e–books cost us little money, and there are millions of e–books on the Internet that we can get for free. Third, more trees are saved because e–books don’t need to be printed on paper. Fourth, e–books make reading more convenient. You can carry a whole library of hundreds of books with you in a small computer or any e–book reader(阅读器), without worrying about their weight.
But e–books have certain disadvantages. They need a personal computer or an e–book reader, and the information can be lost if its file format(文件格式) is not supported(支持) or changed in the reader’s computer.
However, e–books provide us with a new way of reading. That is good.

小题4:What is the disadvantage of the e–books?| A．You’ll lose the information if its file format is not supported. | | B．You can read e–books any time. | | C．You can buy cheap e–books anywhere. | | D．You can carry hundreds of books in an e–book reader. |
