In Europe, many people make friends between their countries through town twinning. Town or city twinning means two towns in different countries agree and decide to become “twins” with a sister city relationship.
The people find pen friends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary people travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away.
Sometimes, schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks! For example, German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain, staying with British families. A few months later, their British friends come to study in Germany.
Many British towns are so pleased with the results of the twinning that they set out to find more than one twin town! Tonbridge, a small town, for example, has twin towns in both Germany and France.
Town twinning can help make friends. It helps students improve their language skills, and also helps people to understand the differences between nations.

When I was thirteen years old, I became very interested in shopping. After a while being just a buyer, I wanted to sell something. I had many things around the house from my childhood that I no longer needed. I knew, with the help of my father, I could make money. So far months and months I enjoyed myself by selling things on my dad’s account(账户).
On December 9, 2020, I opened my own account and began to start my own business. Things were going great and then I realized that selling things around house wasn’t making me the kind of money that I wanted to make, so I decided to turn my business into a re sale shop. I went around to the garage sale(旧货出售处)and bought items at low prices and sold them at higher prices.
Last November, I went to a garage sale that was a little bit different. A single lady had many nice items that I knew I would sell quickly. I went up to her and started a conversation with her. Through the conversation, I knew she was jobless at the moment and needed money to support her family. I decided to sell any of her things for her to help her out. She looked at me for a moment and then broke into tears. I took away some of her things and over the next month I made over $1,500 for her! She was so thankful for all of my help.
I have never felt so happy to help someone in my life. I felt as if I had made a difference in this world and that my skills could be used to help someone who would really need it.
28. At first, ________ helped her make money by selling things.
A. the girl’s bank B. the girl’s father
C. the girl’s teacher D. a single lady
29. The author(作者)went to the garage sale to ________.
A. meet single ladies B. sell things she no longer needed
C. help others D. buy things for her resale shop
30. The author decided to help the lady sell her things because ________.
A. the lady’s items were nice B. the lady lived a hard life
C. she liked the lady very much D. the lady asked the author for help
31. The lady felt so ________ for what the author had done for her.
A. disappointed B. Amazed C. Proud D. thankful

Different countries have different eating habits. There is a saying “Eat good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner” in China. Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different.
Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch because they have not so much long time to have a rest at noon. So they eat a small lunch. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner. Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work.
Eating at restaurants is also different. In China, people like to talk and laugh while eating. Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly, and they just having a good time. In America it is not like this. They want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the noises of the outside world. If some people are talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant may come out and ask them to be quiet.
32. Chinese and Americans have the same idea on ________.
A. breakfast B. lunch C. dinner D. tea
33. Why don’t Americans eat a big lunch at noon
A. Because that is Americans tradition.
B. Because Americans’ lunch is small.
C. Because they have not enough time.
D. Because Americans don’t have lunch.
34. If some people are talking loudly in a Chinese restaurant, what will happen
A. The manager of the restaurant will look at them angrily.
B. They will have a good time.
C. The manager of the restaurant may ask them to be quiet.
D. They will quarrel with each other.
35. From the passage we know that ________.
A. Chinese like eating breakfast
B. Americans don’t like eating lunch
C. American restaurants are often quiet
D. Chinese restaurant are often quiet
