It was morning when we arrived. We stepped out of the railway station, having sat in hard seats and not getting much 21 . However, we had energy. First, we tried to get return tickets to Shanghai, but the tickets seller 22 us that tickets would not be on 23 for another two days. We were a little worried about getting 24 , but we made up our minds to 25 for the hotel to put our bags down. After fighting our way 26 the “gypsy” taxi driver who tried to 27 one hundred yuan for the ride, we found another taxi and it 28 cost us thirty yuan to get 29 we had planned to go. When we reached the hotel, there was a window for airplane and train tickets. 30 , the man behind the counter could get tickets that day, which we 31 . The most important lesson about China I ever 32 is to get someone to do your work for you, and it seems to work out much 33 . We were not able to get tickets, but the 34 agents could.
While in Beijing we saw a lot of places of interest, most of which were very 35 . It was fun to be with thousands of people in one place. There aren’t any words to describe it.

My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling 16 , but I always knew he was 17 . He never criticized us, but used 18 to bring out our best.

In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.
At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.
Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
Serving in restaurants is often large; too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself.
Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.
Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.
小题1:Which statement is true?| A．American people like sitting with people they don’t know. | | B．A hostess always seats a small group at a large table. | | C．American people never sit with people they don’t know. | | D．American people will not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking. |
小题2:What is served before you order?| A．bread | B．butter | C．coffee | D．cold water |
小题3:What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?| A．They take the food home with a doggie bag for their dogs. | | B．They leave the food on the table and go away. | | C．They take the food home with a doggie bag and enjoy the food later. | | D．They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for them. |
小题4:Sunday dinner is_______.| A．a dinner in the evening | B．A big noon meal | | C．a big lunch on Sunday | D．A supper on Sunday |

Opened in 1971, the Magic Kingdom was the first theme park at Walt Disney World. All Disney World theme parks are open 365 days a year, although opening and closing times for each park are different from day to day. If you are traveling without kids, try to visit it on a school day to avoid the largest crowds. If you need to visit it during a school vacation, try at least to avoid the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day and the Fourth of July.
If you are not staying at a Disney World hotel, avoid visiting the Magic Kingdom on its Extra Magic Hours days. The hotel guests get into the park early on those days, increasing the waiting time for visitors who arrive at the normal opening time.
Buy your Walt Disney World tickets online at Disney World’s website. There will be some advice on picking the right ticket. See the guide to Disney World tickets. You will also need to call in advance to make lunch or dinner reservations (预订). Disney accepts reservations, through 1-407-WDW-DINE, up to 180 days in advance. Time does pass quickly, so you should call six months before your trip to get a lunch reservation in the castle. We suggest you should have your lunch at Cinderella’s Royal Table for your tour. If you can’t get the reservation, ask for the Liberty Tree Tavern instead.
Keep in mind that to reach the Magic Kingdom, you must park at Disney World’s Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) parking lot, take a tram (有轨电车), and then take a boat across the Seven Seas Lagoon to the Magic Kingdom.
小题1:We learn from the passage that ______.| A．children are not allowed to visit Disney World on New Year’s Day | | B．Disney World theme parks have the same opening and closing times | | C．a single adult had better visit the Magic Kingdom on a school day | | D．the Magic Kingdom was the earliest theme park in the world |
小题2:If you want to have dinner in the Walt Disney World, you can ______.| A．see the guide to Disney World tickets to reserve a table | | B．make a call to reserve a table for dinner in advance | | C．use 1-407-WDW-DINE to reserve about 3 months in advance | | D．go to Cinderella’s Royal Table or the Liberty Tree Tavern at any time you like |
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to passage?| A．Disney World theme parks will be closed on Christmas Day. | | B．The only way to get Walt Disney World tickets is to buy them online. | | C．Visitors have to reach the Magic Kingdom by tram and then boat. | | D．The Magic Kingdom has Extra Magic Hours every day. |
小题4:What would be the best title for this passage?| A．The History of the Magic Kingdom | | B．A Brief Introduction to the Magic Kingdom | | C．Advice on Making a Trip to the Magic Kingdom | | D．The Most Important Theme Park at Walt Disney World |

Paparazzi, or "paps", are photographers who take pictures of famous people when they are not at the center of public attention. Paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos.
The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money —normally a small newspaper, magazine or website.
There is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places. However, there are laws that protect certain individuals. For example, child protection laws stop improper (不合适的) pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.
There is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities (名人) and taking their pictures either. However, if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces, they could get into trouble.
Most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star. Many stay on the streets until the early hours of the morning when celebrities are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear. However, some have other ways to make sure they get pictures. Many paps are in contact with "informers" who know the locations of celebrities at any given time. They then pass the information on to paparazzi. An informer could be anyone —from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.
Most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go.
What a love-hate relationship between paparazzi and celebrities!
小题1:Which of the following things paparazzi might do would be against the law?| A．Taking pictures of famous people in public places. | | B．Getting unsuitable pictures of a 10-year-old actress published. | | C．Following a famous woman singer secretly and taking her pictures. | | D．Hanging out at the places where celebrities often appear. |
小题2:In order to earn big money a pap has to ________.| A．get the only first-hand pictures | | B．sell the pictures to a big newspaper | | C．make friends with famous people | | D．know the locations of celebrities |
小题3:The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ________.| A．how paparazzi get the pictures | | B．how dangerous paparazzi’s job is | | C．how much paparazzi pay for the pictures | | D．how paparazzi contact informers |
小题4:What can we infer from the passage?| A．Paparazzi always take pictures when famous people are tired. | | B．Stars hate paparazzi and don’t want to be followed. | | C．Paparazzi and famous people rely on each other sometimes. | | D．Informers might get paparazzi into trouble. |
