A
I enjoy telling s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tories. To those parents and teachers who 26 telling children’s stories, I have an important 27 — tell your story seriously. No matter how silly you think it is, 28 it is good enough to tell, you should tell it seriously. You should tell the story with the attitude of the children towards it. Perhaps I can make it 29 by telling a story.
A few students of a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )class had prepared the story of “The Fisherman and His Wife”. The first girl felt that it was a silly story. She tried to tell it
30 , but some parts of it made her feel ashamed (难为情的). When she came to the words, “Oh, man of the sea, come, listen to me. For Alice, my wife …” she said them very quickly. The next time she came to the same words, she said them so fast and so low that they 31 be heard. And when she tried to repeat the words the last time, she could hardly go on. Of course everybody laughed, but the flavor (意味) of the story was broken.
Now, it was Kate’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) turn to tell the 32 story. Each of her rising and falling tones (声调) showed her 33 attitude to the story. When she repeated the words, “Oh, man of the sea, come …”, the whole class could 34 the fisherman’s feeling.
Those words may 35 silly, but they are important for expressing the fisherman’s feeling. If the person who tells the story thinks they are silly, listeners can see no flavor at all! So please tell your story seriously.
( )26. A. forget B. finish C. prefer
( )27. A. mistake B. suggestion C. decision
( )28. A. so B. until C. if
( )29. A. clearer B. louder C. more important
( )30. A. simply B. well C. badly
( )31. A. need B. couldn’t C. could
( )32. A. latest B. oldest C. same
( )33. A. negative B. serious C. general
( )34. A. hide B. imagine C. invent
( )35. A. sound B. taste C. smell
B
The Swedes are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )one of the most charming (迷人的) peoples in Europe. They are extremely traditional within the family and when meeting friends. They always 36 strict rules. At the same time, they are one of the most open-minded peoples in the world. They are always 37 to new ideas.
When a visitor ente ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs a Swedish home, he must hear a “Welcome”. When he 38 , the host will tell him, “You will be welcome 39 .” These charming words are a changeless part of Swedish life and they give it an old-world feeling of 40 behavior.
In Sweden, a traveler ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) never needs to 41 a telephone: telephone boxes are usually placed along the main streets and highways. And in churches, for example, long benches are fitted with (装有) hearing aids for people who may be unable to 42 very well. Swedish homes are among the best equipped(装备的) in the world and travelers in Sweden find their journeys made 43 by the use of the modern equipment.
If a Swede has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) an 44 with others or goes to a meeting, he goes on time, which is a very good habit. And this is their respect (尊敬) for their friends, their workmates and especially for the visitors 45 to their country. And whenever they do anything, they take care not to make others feel uncomfortable in the slightest.
( )36. A. break B. follow C. relax
( )37. A. close B. friendly C. open
( )38. A. refuses B. leaves C. offers
( )39. A. again B. still C. either
( )40. A. bad B. good C. indirect
( )41. A. answer B. look for C. make
( )42. A. see B. speak C. hear
( )43. A. easy B. easily C. difficult
( )44. A. argument B. appointment C. agreement

Guerrero then called ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 911, and Bentley even unlocked the door to let firefighters into the house. Toone told KGUN she was very thankful for her little hero and had taught all of her children how to dial 911.

Dear Li Hao,
Glad to learn tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t you are invited to a dinner party in Switzerland. Well, here are some tips you need to know.
It’s OK to show up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) at the dinner party a bit late, but don’t be more than 30 minutes late. You can bring the host a small gift, such as candy, chocolate and wine, but you’re not supposed to give anything sharp like knives or expensive gifts. And don’t put your hands in your pockets while talking to others. It’s considered to be rude to leave later than midnight. It’s polite to send flowers to your host either before the party or the next day, along with a thank-you note.
Hope you have a good time at the dinner party!
Yours,
Rick
