Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at school. When I made my first visit to the United States, I was sure I could have a nice and easy holiday without any language problem. But how wrong I was!
At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to tell my friend Danny that I had arrived. An American asked if he could help me. "Yes," I said, "1 want to give my friend a ring."
"Well, that"s nice. Are you getting married?" he asked. "No," I replied, "I just want to tell him I have arrived." "Oh," he said, "there is a phone downstairs on the first floor." "But we"re on the first floor now," I said.
"Well, I don"t know what you are talking about Maybe you aren"t feeling too well after your journey," he said. "Just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better." And he went off, leaving me wondering where on earth I was: At home we wash up after a meal to get the cups and plates clean. How can I wash up at an airport?
At last we did meet. Danny explained the misunderstanding: Americans say "to give someone a call", but we English say "to give somebody a ring". When we say "to wash your hands", they say "to wash up". And Englishmen start numbering from the ground floor so the first floor is the second for Americans.
小题1:The writer went to America by  ______.
A．planeB．shipC．busD．train

A．education B．businessC．holidayD．friendship

? Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the rivers, or on the grassland, you should know that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
② Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all kinds of harmful things and a lot of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)，This leads to serious environmental problems. For example, in Portugal and Spain, golf is considered to be the most important reason for water shortage(短缺）io some areas.
③ There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could do today. You don’t need anything special but a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about nature and your money. Simple and free, power walking -can also keep you fit. If you often walk, it will be good for your heart and bones.
④Nowadays more and more people choose to play "green sports". They play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special things needed. And best of all, it’s free.

When I was a boy, I didn’t have any hair on my head. So I was very shy. I liked to watch my friends play in the park. Sometimes I would join them, but most of the time I just watched them play.
Every day, we would see an old man walking in the park. He had big ears and no hair. We thought he was dumb (哑的). Every time when my friends saw him, they would say loudly, "Hey, Mr. Dumb, what’s the time?” But they got no answer.
One early evening, I was standing outside my house, and I saw the old man coming. I was not with any of my friends and there were no other kids around to say the usual words of "greeting( 问候)”.
But how could I let the old man walk by without saying anything? So for the first time, I asked, “Hey, Mr. Dumb, what’s the time?"
