A
A few months ago I was at a bus stop in town in the evening。 The bus came on time and I took the window seat. The bus was travelling by the seashore and I was enjoying the soft wind while watching the sea waves （海浪)。 After a few minutes the bus made its next stop。 A young boy and a girl got on。 They were standing on my left when the bus pulled off. I looked at them in surprise and realized that all the window seats were taken up。 They could sit but not together. Suddenly a different wave passed through my body and my inner mind gave me the advice to get up. I got up and offered them my seat。 The young lady smiled kindly and said thanks. I took another seat and we parted our ways。 I don't remember whether I got off the bus before them or not.文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络
Months passed by。 Suddenly one day while I was standing at the same bus stop waiting some time for the bus to arrive I heard a voice.
“Excuse me, Uncle.” I looked in the direction of the voice。 It was a beautiful young lady.
Puzzled， I said, “I do not recognize you。”
She said， “Do you remember you gave us your window seat?"
Puzzled， I said, “Maybe, but what is so great in that?”
She said, “If you had not given your seat that day， perhaps I would have not sat with my
friend. By sitting together it helped us bridge a misunderstanding that had been between us forever。 Do you know we are getting married next month？”
“Good！ God bless both of you，" I replied。
The young lady again said thank you and went on her journey. I realized the importance of giving that day。

51。 Why were the young boy and the girl standing on the bus?
A. Because they couldn’t sit together。
B. Because they wanted to enjoy the sea weaves。

B
America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this。 Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two， perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship。 This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand， because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings， extending (延伸） sometimes deeply into both families. 文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life。 They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality （好客) easily。
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives， they don't show their politeness (礼貌） to us if it requires a great deal of time。 This is usually the opposite (相反) of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time。 Sometimes, we， as hosts， will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend。 We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans， however, express their welcome usually at homes， but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily activities。 They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus。 And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes， the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络
For the Americans， it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants， except for purely business matters。 So accept their hospitality at home!

A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families。
B。 Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.

A. treated hospitably at his home

C。 warmly welcomed at the airport
D。 treated to dinner in a restaurant

C
John H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six。 He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks。
Luckily he had a strong-willed caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son，you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.” She told him not to depend on others，including his mother。 “You have to earn success,” she said。 “All the people who work hard don’t succeed， but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”
These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education。 She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15,to Chicago.
Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for。 John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words — as an editor of the newspap
