三、阅读理解
A
I was in a strange city I didn't know at all, and what's more, I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day, I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly(愉快地) enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.
About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were. appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.

Hello, everyone. I'm here today to tell you something about my life as an exchange student in the United States last year.
America was a big culture shock for me at first. I stayed with a host family in a small town. My host parents were very kind. They organized a lot of activities for me in my free time so that I wouldn’t miss home.
However , life in the US was difficult to get used to. My main problem was the language. I failed to understand much in the first few weeks because everyone spoke so fast. Another one was the food. My host family always had bread, potatoes and salad, but I missed dumplings, rice and delicious dishes a lot, especially barbecue(烧烤).It was very famous in Qiqihar.
It was an exciting year, and it was a valuable education for me. I understood more about American culture. My American friends asked me many questions about life in China, and this made me think about my own culture as well. Now I am back in China, I still remember the life in the US.

( )33. The host family always had dumplings , rice and delicious dishes.

(一)Just as in face to face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior that should be followed on the Internet. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. ①Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send, ask yourself, “Would I say that to the person’s face ” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. If someone in the chat room is rude to you, you needn’t fire back. You should either ignore(不理睬) the person or use your chat software to block the messages. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
②______________ Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, be kind about it. If you do decide to tell someone about the mistake, point it out politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those you have offended(冒犯). ③询问别人诸如年龄和家庭等隐私问题是不礼貌的。 Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable sharing personal information, or don’t ask such questions.
