A One dark and stormy night, an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia, hoping to get room for the night. The clerk, a friendly man with a beautiful smile, explained that there were three conferences in town. “All of our rooms are taken,” the clerk said, “but I can"t send a nice couple like you into the rain at one o’clock in the morning.

Young people can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people like parents and classmates. Liu Wei, a Junior 2 student from He’nan, could not understand his teacher and was doing badly in his lessons. He became so worried about it that he started to cut his finger with a knife.

Students often want to practice their English outside class. One of the best ways to practice your English is to speak to a foreigner. You may ask, “Is it okay to try to talk to foreigners I see in the street?” The answer is yes and no, but probably no! If you see a foreigner who looks lost, it is polite to ask him, “May I help you?” But, otherwise, you should probably let them get on with their business. Situations, however, do exist where it is quite all right to talk to foreigners. If a foreigner enters your school, classroom, office, shop or restaurant, for instance, feel free to ask him (for example): — What is your name? — Where do you come from? — What do you think of Beijing? — How long will you stay in Beijing? There are also situations where it"s okay to talk to foreigners in public places. If you see a foreigner alone in a restaurant, bar or coffee shop, it may be appropriate to ask him or her: — Is this seat free? — Do you mind if I talk to you in English? You can probably help them if they are new in China and if they are alone, you may be able to make them feel more welcome. After a few such questions, you should know whether this person wants to talk to you or not. If they ask you similar questions, or if they give long, informative answers, you"re in luck. If not, then give them their privacy. Talking to strangers is fun if you choose the right time and place. 66. It is the best way to practice your spoken English with ______. A. Japanese B. Americans C. our classmates D. French people 67. From the second paragraph we can get to know that ______. A. it is polite to stop a foreigner to talk with him in the street B. it is polite to interrupt foreigners in a conversation C. it is impolite to interrupt a foreigner when he or she is on business D. it is impolite to help a foreigner find his way 68. When you first meet a foreigner, you should say “_______” A. Where are you going? B. Have you ten your dinner? C. Can you help me with my English? D. Nice to meet you. 69. The writer suggests to us that we should ______. A. follow the foreigners when we meet them in the street B. talk with a foreigner in an accepted way C. have a meal with foreigners in a restaurant D. move to a place where a foreigner lives 70. This passage comes from a newspaper in column ________. A. Sports B. Health C. Language D. Business |
