Thirty years ago I worked in a company. My job was to sell the cars. I was young and strong and I had been to most parts of the world and I spent one fifth of my time in the trains or planes. I liked such a life and sometimes I called myself “traveler”.
But one day I got into trouble. It was a cold morning. It blew heavily and the ground was covered with thick snow outside. I was still in bed though it was nine. I finished a long journey the day before and decided to have a good rest. Suddenly the telephone rang and my manager told me to fly to New York to take part in an important meeting. I had to get up and after a quick breakfast I hurried to the airport. The taxi went slowly and I missed the first flight. I had to take the next one. It meant I would wait for nearly five hours in the waiting-room. But five hours later a passenger said the information showed there was a bomb(炸弹) in our plane and the policemen were looking for it. And another five hours passed and most passengers lost their patience before we were allowed to get on the plane. At the entrance each passenger and their baggage(行李) had to be examined. A young man who seemed a soldier shouted at the policemen at the entrance, “If I had a gun in my baggage, I would shoot you two hours ago!”

Li Ming’s friend Wu Bin is coming to the UK to visit him. He’s asked Li Ming to tell him something about life in the UK before he comes.
Dear Wu Bin,
I’m getting really excited about your visit. I hope you are too. I must say, life is really different here. English people do some very strange things!
In the UK, you must drive on the left. I know you’re too young to drive but you have to remember this when you cross the road I nearly got run over the other day! You know in China, if you want a taxi, you can just put your hand out and one stops immediately. Well, here you must go to a special place where there is a long queue of people waiting. Or you can ring a taxi company to order one.
Shopping is difficult on Saturday and Sunday. I can’t believe how early the shops close. It seems like you can’t buy anything after six o’clock in the evening.
You asked me about living in an English house. The most difficult thing is using a knife and fork. I can use chopsticks if I want, but I want to do the same as other people. Something really surprised me the other day. Mrs Johnson (my host mother) hung up her washing in the kitchen! I couldn’t believe it. Mr and Mrs Johnson have a cat, a dog and two rabbits. Well, can you imagine, the other day, all four animals were running around in the kitchen.
Another thing, people drink cold water all the time and they drink tea with milk! They don’t have rice with every meal, and they put carpet all over their houses.
Life here is strange, but I’m enjoying it.
Lots of love and see you soon,
Li Ming
( ) 48. When do shops in the UK close earlier?

C. Food and drinks in the UK. D. Living in an English house.

八、阅读短文 根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）
Hospitals have not always been clean, quiet places. Long ago they were dirty and overcrowded. Nurses were never taught how to look after their patients and many people died. This is the story of Florence Nightingale, who changed all this.
Florence was born in 1820. Growing up, she was a quiet and serious young girl. She spent a lot of time playing with her dolls. She would pretend that the dolls were sick and she was their nurse. People would bring sick or hurt animals to her to look after. She often went with her mother to visit the poor people. They took food and medicine to the sick. It was these visits that first gave her the idea of becoming a nurse.
Her chance came in 1854 when Britain went to war with Russia . Florence was asked to take a group of nurses to look after the sick and wounded soldiers. The hospitals were dirty, and there was not enough medicine. Florence and her team cleaned the hospital rooms and beds. They made sure that the bandages were clean and that the soldiers got enough medicine. Florence and her team worked hard. At night she would go from room to room checking on the patients. There was no electricity so she would carry an oil lamp with her to see where she was going. She often stayed to talk to the patients, especially if she could see that they were scared or dying.
After the war, Florence opened a school to teach nurses to look after their patients properly. She never really got better from the illness that she had in the war and she died in 1910.
It is thanks to Florence Nightingale that we receive the proper care in hospitals today.

First, I have a question for you. How many of you eat fruit or drink juice when you get up every morning? Put up your hand, please. OK! That’s great! Most of you have some fruit every day!
Most of you have snacks every day…. Try to think about eating some fruit or vegetables when you have those snacks. You don’t have to eat cookies or candies!

Make sure you do your homework but also make time to do some exercise every day. You’ll do better when you take a break from your studies. It would be nice if you can exercise every day. If not, try to exercise three times a week. And when I talk to students, I always tell them this. Don’t smoke! I know that just a few of you smoke. I hope you can stop smoking.
