During my first two weeks at the University of California , Berkeley , I experienced some unexpected , funny , and sometimes embarrassing(令人尴尬的) situations . Allow me to share some with you.
But first, let me give advice to other foreign students who plan to study in the United States. Check the weather before coming! I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris. It was a huge mistake! It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkele.
I have to say that I quickly forgot these unlucky events. Life in Berkeley is very pleasant and everything is so easy compared to Paris. For example , in only 24 hours I bought a mobile phone and made the lease(租约) agreement for a flat . What’s more, almost all the shops are open on Sunday, which is very practical for me.
The first thing that surprised me is that students may come late to class. They freely enter and leave the classroom many times during class, In France, students respect the teacher’s lesson, so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class.
The local people in California are in general very nice, open and active, However, I am not totally used to their habits yet . Indeed, I was used to shaking my friends’ hands every day in France. During my second day at Berkeley, I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me “I think we already met!”
Another funny story happened during the first party I attended: A girl that I meet before came to hug me . I thought she wanted to kiss me like we usually do in France to say hello. So I kissed her and she seemed a little bit embarrassed.
I live a great experience at present, and I would just encourage any student to become a member in a program at UC , Berkeley .
( ) 49. According to the writer’s advice, before students study in America, they should .
A. make a lease agreement for a flat B. leave their warm clothes at home
C. pay attention to the local weather D. prepare a phone as early as possible
( ) 50. When the writer’s classmate said “I think we already met !”, he meant.
A. he and the write had known each other in France
B. Americans needn’t shake hands when they met again
C. he was not used to shaking hands with others
D. the write had forgotten about their last meeting
( ) 51. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A. His experience at UC, Berkeley. B. The relationship between classmates.
C. His advice on studying abroad D. The difference in attending a class.
C
Your body is special – no two people in the world are alike, Although you are different from everyone else, you have exactly the same body parts as the people around you , doing different jobs that keep all of us alive .
What is inside my head?
Your head houses the most valuable part of your body – your brain. As you are reading, your eyes send pictures to your brain which makes meaning from what you see. Your brain helps you to remember and thin, and makes sure your body is doing what it should.
What is my skin(皮肤) for?
Your skin covers your body. In most parts of your body, the skin is just as thick as half a centimeter. If you have your skin cut, it will have a quick cure and stop viruses from getting into your body. Your skin also helps you feel the heat and coldness of the environment around you. Hair grows from inside the skin. When you feel hot , extra heat comes out through your skin . As a result, your body temperature drops.
How do I move?
Muscles(肌肉) are found in most parts of your body . They work with your bones to help you move – whenever you cry or smile, eat or speak , walk or dance, etc.
Why do I breathe?
Your body needs to take in oxygen from the air and give out the unwanted carbon dioxide in the body. When you breathe , air comes through your nose and mouth into your lungs(肺) where oxygen flows to different parts of your body .
What makes me sneeze?
When dust or a strong smell gets into your nose, you sneeze. This is the way your body cleans up the dust in your nose. Your lungs push out the air and try to clear your nose.
What does my heart do?
Your heart is a very special muscle. It is slightly bigger than your fist (拳头) and grows bigger as you do . If you place your hand on your heart, you will feel your heart beating which forces blood to move around your body.
( ) 52. The underlined word “houses” in the passage probably mean .
A. stores B. locks C. creates D. builds
( ) 53. If you have no skin covering your body, what would happen?
A. Extra heat can only stay inside our body.
B. Viruses can’t get into our body easily.
C. We can’t feel the changes in temperature.
D. Our body can be guarded by our hair.
( ) 54. What is the true fact about your body?
A. Our heart is the same size from birth.
B. We take in carbon dioxide to stay alive.
C. Our muscles stop working when we nod.
D. Sneezing is a way to clear our nose.
( ) 55. Which is the best title for this passage?

The story happened the year before last. I was in Japan with my uncle. One day, after I had left a small village in the north of Japan, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young woman stopped me and wanted to take a lift in my car. As soon as she got into my car, I said good morning to her in Japanese and she answered in the same language. As I know only a little Japanese, we didn’t say any more during the journey. I had nearly reached the town when the young woman suddenly said very slowly in Chinese, “Do you speak Chinese?” then I suddenly realized that she was Chinese herself.

Dear Sir / Madam,
I’m writing to report a robbery to you. It was at 9 p.m. Last night. The scene of the robbery was at the corner of a street near the cinema.
When the robbery happened, I was walking in the street. Suddenly I heard someone calling for help behind. I turned around and found two men were robbing a young woman. The woman put up a fierce fight with them. I ran up to them quickly, but when I got there, the robbers had been away on their own bikes, the woman’s gold watch had been robbed of, and she was lying on the ground. Luckily, she was not hurt.
The suspect were two men. One was tall with sunglasses, and the other was. I hope the information will help you catch the robbers.
Yours faithfully,
