Do you want to live with him or her any more The answer is "No". We will feel very unhappy to have this kind of neighbour and move away quickly.
Next, a good neighbour is always ready to give us a hand when we need help. For example, if we are not at home, our good neighbour will watch our house for us.

You want to know about my staying in America, right Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn't know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
When I first studied English, I was told to say, "I am fine" when people say "How are you " But in the U.S., I found that people say, "I am good" or "I'm tired".
One day, someone greeted me with "What's up " It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn't know what to say.
Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and U.S. cultures.
To my surprise, U.S. girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or "whiter".
I was also surprised by how hardworking U.S. students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that's it. But here, a "good" student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.
The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
46. What does the word "confused" in the fourth paragraph mean in Chinese
A. 困惑 B. 憧憬 C. 悲痛 D. 后悔
47. A good U.S. student spends his / her time .
A. only in doing homework
B. on studies, sports or music and public work
C. only in working for the public
D. only on sports or music
48. Which of the following is NOT true
A. The writer is now in U.S.
B. American girls love to have white skin.
C. U.S. students are talented and hard working.
D. The writer regrets that he gave up playing the piano.
C
In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by "small talk". Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather: "Nice day, isn't it " "Terrible weather, isn't it " But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: "Great game, isn't it " At bus-stops, people may comment about the transport system: "The bus service is terrible, isn't it "
Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.
49. Small talk is .
A. to let people disagree about something
B. a kind of conversation with short words
C. a greeting when people meet each other
D. something we talk about to start with a conversation
50. The favorite topic of small talk is about .
A. games B. politics C. languages D. the weather
51. The passage suggests that when we learn a language .
A. we should know the culture about the country
B. we should only master the grammar and vocabulary
C. we should grasp the importance of the language
D. we should learn about the transport system of the country
52. When we say "Great game, isn't it " we in fact .
A. have a conversation B. begin a small talk
C. greet each other D. ask a question
53. What we learn from the passage is that .
A. in English-speaking countries we should talk about the weather
B. different language has different grammar
C. small talk is an important part in a language
D. small talk depends on the purpose of the conversation

Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kinds of things they do. That doesn't mean you have to be exactly like each other, just that you enjoy some of the same things. If you're really into sports, you probably will want friends who enjoy playing many of the same games you do. Likewise(同样地), if you love to read books, you will probably enjoy the company of readers.
The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared(害怕的) or angry-looking face.
One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about them. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person
Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who's their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There's nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug(耸肩) for an answer.
Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.

A. how to make friends

B. who seems to be friendly
C. who praises them
