Christopher Columbus is famous because he found something he wasn't looking for.
In 1492, Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in order to reach India. What he found was something far different. He found the New World. How did this come about It all started in Italy.
Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa in 1451. His family didn't have a lot of money, and Christopher wasn't an only child. He didn't have much of an education until he was much older. Instead, he went to sea. He sailed around the Mediterranean(地中海) and as far north as England and Ireland.
During his travels, Columbus heard the reports of land to the west of the Madeira and Azores Islands. They were in the Atlantic Ocean west of Portugal. He wanted to know more and got maps and books on geography.
Marco Polo said that Japan was only 1,500 miles east of China. As a result, Columbus thought that Japan was only 3,000 miles west of Portugal. And 3,000 miles was a distance that ships could travel in those days.
So, Columbus decided that he wanted to get to the East by going west. He thought that if he sailed far enough west, he would sail around the world enough to reach the East. Based on his calculations(计算), Japan was only 3,000 miles away, after all.
1. We can infer from the passage that .
A. Columbus had a dream to visit America

3. Where did Columbus want to go when he sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492
A. America. B. India. C. Japan. D. China.
4. Which of the following is true according to the third paragraph
A. There were many people in Columbus' family.
B. Columbus was an only boy of his parents.
C. Columbus did well in school when he was young.

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don't feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸) deeply into both families.
There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China,we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take day off from our work to act as guides to our friends: It is opposite in America, Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
For Americans,it is often considered friendlier to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality(好客) at home and enjoy your visit in America!
6. Which of the following is the typical(典型的) way of American hospitality
A. Treating friends at home
B. Taking days off to be with friends
C. Meeting friends at the airport at midnight
D. Sharing everything they have

D. Chinese friendships are more sincere than American friendships
8. This passage is most probably written for .
A. American students B. Chinese students
C. Chinese visitors to America D. American visitors to China
9. The underlined phrase “pick up” in Paragraph 1 may mean “ ”.
A. keep out B. give up
C. pay no attention to D. continue

Are you the kind of person who likes staying in unusual places If the answer is “yes”, then try the world's coldest hotel in Jukkasjarvi in the north of Sweden. But go in winter or all you'll find is a pool of water, because the hotel melts every spring!
The man who runs the ARTic Hall Hotel is Nils Yngve Bergqvist. He is also the man whose idea it was. He built his first hotel for an art show in 1991 and he designed the present hotel---over 200 metres square---himself. It took workmen about two months to put 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden board. As the weather got colder, the snow froze and then they removed the board. The whole building and everything in it is made of snow - except for the wooden front door. There's a theatre, a jazz club, a radio station and a large ice bar. As you can imagine, hot drinks are popular with the guests! The rooms have no doors, there is no furniture, no heating and everyone sleeps on…yes, that's right…ice beds. But the 800 people who have stayed at the hotel this winter seem to like it. If you want to stay in one of the ice rooms, it will cost you about £30 a night. You won't be very comfortable, but you will receive a survival certificate (生存能力证书) from the manager!
When the winter is over, Nils holds his competition every year to predict the day that the hotel will fall. The person that guessed the day correctly last year received a large painting from an ARTic Hall show. Bergqvist's ice hotels are becoming world-famous and he loves his work. He's already excited about his next project---an ice hotel that will be bigger and better, he says.
