Ⅱ.阅读理解
Jessie, a student from Shanghai, is studying in Chicago. The following entries are taken from her blog (博客) during her first three months in the United States.
August 31
People often refer to Shanghai as “The Sleepless City,” but I didn't understand why until I got to Chicago. I was windowshopping with another student this evening when suddenly the store owners started pulling down their gates and locking their doors. Soon the whole street was closed, even though it wasn't dark yet. I've never seen this in Shanghai, where the busiest streets “stay awake” all night. You can go out to restaurants, stores, and movies even long after midnight.
September 5
After the first week of class, I've found some differences between Chinese students and American students. Whenever a teacher asks a question, my classmates immediately shout out their answers. And some of them interrupt (打断) the teacher. In Shanghai, we're usually quiet in class so that the teacher can finish on time. We usually ask the teacher questions afterward.
October 6
I met an interesting girl in an Internet café today. I was writing an email to my mother, and she asked me what language I was using. We ended up talking for about an hour! People in Chicago seem very comfortable with each other. It seems quite natural for two people to start talking in a café. This is something that doesn't happen in Shanghai. At home, I'd never just start chatting with a stranger. I like that it's easy to meet new people here.

Ⅲ.阅读理解七选五
Airplane manners
You get on the plane, take your seat and try to get as comfortable as possible. But just minutes into the flight, the person behind you starts kicking your seat. __1__ Here are some tips on helping you avoid behavior that can upset your fellow passengers:
Carry in front.
As you walk to your seat, carry your bag in front of you. If you carry a bag over your shoulder or at your side, you can easily hit those already seated. It's not a good way to make friends. __2__
__3__
Don't put your legs, head or elbows in your neighbor's space. And never sleep on your neighbor's shoulder. No one wants their space invaded by a stranger on a flight.
Don't be too chatty.
Some people love to get chatty on a flight. __4__ If the person next to you is reading or sleeping, don't try to talk to him. If he appears to be interested in talking, talk in a low voice so those around you can read, rest or work.
Take your turn when leaving the plane.
Allow the rows ahead of you to empty first. Don't push your way to the front. __5__ So wait your turn.
A. Stay in your own seat.
B. Be patient with your neighbors.
C. Leaving only takes a few minutes.
D. You can also pull it along if it has wheels.
E. However, it can bother passengers around you.
