四、阅读理解（30分）
A、阅读下面短文，选择正确的答案。
（A）
What do you do when you have a cold? There are differences between Chinese and American cultures. For example, when westerners get sick, they usually say out their discomfort, but Chinese don’t. So, American nurses who care for Chinese patients in the US have to keep asking them how they feel.
Besides, Americans don’t take time off to rest. They just sneeze and cough all day at the office. Because they don’t think they are sick and have to see a doctor, they more often take some vitamins(维生素) or over-the-counter(非处方) drugs to help themselves get well. However, Chinese people often go to a doctor when they have a cold. They want a prescription(处方) to treat their sickness before it gets serious.
Last, Chinese patients often think doctors know everything. They believe all the information which is given by doctors. So Chinese patients ask few questions. However, most Americans ask their doctors lots of questions and do research. They want to know everything about their conditions(症状).
So, are one culture’s attitudes towards health better than the other’s? Perhaps not. Today, doctors all over the world are sharing all the information with each other. In health, as in everything else, we can learn a lot from each other.
( )51. What do American people do when they have a cold?
A. They eat a lot of ice cream. B. They take some vitamins first.
C. They go to a doctor as soon as possible. D. They don’t go to work.
( )52. Why don’t American people take time off when they have a cold?
A. They don’t need a doctor. B. They don’t think they are very sick.
C. They need to a make more money to see a doctor. D. The nurses are busy.

I am Bruce. My parents divorced(离婚) in 1996, when I was only four. After that, my mother took care of me. I grew up to be an outgoing person. I could find friends anywhere I went. When I met someone in a new place, we became friends quickly.
But some of my friends had bad habits, like smoking(吸烟) and drinking. I didn’t do things like that. They laughed at me. This made me angry with them and myself. As a teenager I thought I did not have a true friend. I tried to do only good things, though sometimes I didn’t do them very well.

“Go for it!”
The expression “Go for it!” is a way of encouraging someone to try something.
“Go for it!” means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take a chance and be brave.
“Go for it!” gets its name from football. But it is not the football played in most countries such as England, France or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada.
One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three tries, to move the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a very important decision.
The conservative(保守的) choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary defeat(暂时的失败) in order to get a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball. The more exciting choice, however, is to try a fourth and final time to get the remaining yards needed.
People now are certain to shout their advice. Some will shout, “Kick the ball!” But others will encourage the team to take a chance. “Go for it!” they will shout loudly.
In the 1980s, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage someone to act bravely.
There is no guarantee(保证) that the action you “Go for it!” will succeed. But that is the chance you take when you decide to go for it. You put your fears behind. You choose courage(勇气) over safety. You hold your breath(屏住呼吸) and go for it.
( )61. What does “Go for it!” mean?
A. You should go straight on.
B. You should take a chance and be brave.
C. You should go to school and ask teachers for help.
D. You should be very careful.
( )62. The expression “Go for it!” comes from _________ football.
A. English B. French C. Japanese D. American
( )63. According to the passage, when we decide to go for it, we only consider ______.
A. safety B. action C. result D. situation
( )64. In which of the following situations should we use the expression “Go for it!”?
A. We decide to avoid trouble or danger for the future.
B. We try to improve our English for better education.
C. We need to make a quick decision at the last moment.
D. We have to make a choice between success and failure.
( )65. The writer makes his idea clear by _______.
