In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important event of the year except graduation day. Students plan homecoming day for many weeks in advance.
Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.
The members of school clubs build booths(摊位) and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.
During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen.

One day, when I was going to check in at an airport, I noticed there was a big problem. The counter person was telling everyone that all the planes were having problems and they would not be able to fly! And it was suggested that a bus would be provided to take us to Seattle. Everyone was worried, as we only had an hour and a half to make the connecting flight, and the bus was not even at the airport yet.
Finally, the bus pulled up, and the driver said, “They just pulled me out of bed after an all-night shift (夜班), and they expect me to get you to Seattle in time to catch your flight. Good Luck!”
Needless to say, everyone was in a really bad mood. I was loading my luggage into the bus and had slung my banjo（ over my back when the driver said, “What? Are you going to play that in my bus?” “Well, really did not plan on it,” I replied. “I was only kidding,” said the driver. But I started thinking about it, and I pulled out the banjo. A worried, angry woman said, “Well, what if I don’t like it?” “Then tell me and I will stop,” I replied.
We drove off, and the tension (紧张) made the atmosphere in the bus horrendous! Then I started plucking (弹奏) the old song Blue Skies. In a few minutes, I noticed everyone was singing along. I started to sing, too, and before long, the whole bus burst into song.
One song led to another, and everyone seemed to have a request. “Do you know You Are My Sunshine?” Everyone laughed and sang, with food passed around the bus, and before long, the airport was in sight.
The bus driver called, “We made it! We never would have done it without the help of our banjo player.” Shouts of approval rang through the bus. People exchanged addresses and invitations to visit, and a few exchanged hugs. The driver said to me, “This was the best ride I ever had. Thanks for your music.”
A few weeks later, my mailbox was filled with letters from my new friends. Their letters reminded me of how, by reaching out with just a song or a bit of friendship, you can turn a very tense situation into a peaceful experience — a magical, musical bus ride.
25. What can we learn about the driver from his words in Paragraph 2?
A. He was unwilling to take those people to the airport.
B. He was late because he just returned from an all-night shift.
C. He thought it was possible to get those people to the airport in time.
D. He thought he was lucky to take those people to the airport.
26. When the author decided to play his banjo, ______.
A. the driver fully supported him B. all the passengers disliked that idea
C. not all the passengers preferred that idea D. the whole bus burst into song
27. The underlined word “horrendous” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “_______”.
A. cheerful B. terrible C. strange D. changeable
28. What does this text mainly tell us?
A. An unforgettable flight to Seattle. B. A wonderful musical bus ride.
C. A great banjo player. D. The amazing friendship on a bus.
C
Restaurants in the USA
Steve’s Pizza
So many pizza chains compete for the attention of tourists in South Beach, but ask a Miami Beach local where to get the best pizza and they’ll tell you about Steve’s. This is New York style pizza, handmade with care and good ingredients(成分). New branches(分店) of Steve’s Pizza are opening elsewhere in Miami, all in non-tourist areas.
Opening hours: 11 a.m. – 3 a. m.
Cattleman’s Steakhouse
This place in 20 miles east of the city, but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here. The food is good, and the scenery is even better. Come early and wander around the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch, where you’ll see everything from rabbits to buffalo(水牛), then catch the sunset either before or after your meal.
Opening hours: 5 p. m. – 10 p. m.
Absolute Baking & Café
The screen door is always swinging open at this town hot spot with giant breakfasts. Try the green chili on eggs – it’s made from scratch, as are the organic(有机的) bread. Lunch includes salads, big sandwiches and local grass-fed beef burgers. Don’t miss a square of soft, fresh carrot cake.
Opening hours: 7 a. m. – 2 p. m.
Walt’s Wharf
Everybody’s favorite for fresh fish (some drive if from LA), Walt’s packs them in on weekends. You can’t make reservations for dinner (though they’re accepted for lunch), but it’s worth the wait for the tree fire-grilled seafood and steaks on the many-windowed ground floor or upstairs in captain’s chairs.
Opening hours: 11 a.m. – 3:30 p. m
29. The new branches of Steve’s Pizza are mainly meant for .
A. New Yorkers B. tourists C. the locals D. foreigners
30. Cattleman’s Steakhouse offers the wonderful as well as good food.

C. Absolute Baking & Café. D. Cattleman’s Steakhouse.
D
We spend so much time waiting to be loved, hoping love will find us, and searching for that special love. Unfortunately, that’s not usually how life works. Loving yourself is mainly having self-respect, which is the only dependable way to create love in your own life, so you can share it with others. To be able to be loved, you must love and respect yourself as much as you do others. By doing so, you are enabling（能够有）positive energy and allowing for（考虑到）great situation to occur in your life.
Bringing joy to other people’s lives will help you find joy in your own. In addition, those who you treat well will likely repay you with the same kindness. Gradually, you will start to feel your worth through the smiles of gratitude. However, don’t just be very kind to people so you can receive royal treatment.
Don’t punish yourself for something you have done in the past. Instead, look at the mistake as a learning experience. Say to yourself now, “I forgive myself for..." Go to look in a mirror, and say it out loud to yourself. Look at yourself right in the eyes, and speak forgiveness like you mean it. If you do, laugh out loud, realizing that was then and this is now. Every day is a new beginning.
We all want a nice house, nice things, and someone to share our life with. Find your true wants objectively. Are you eager for power, a religion, or simply a motive? Sometimes, it’s easier to hide the truth from yourself, but figuring out what you really want will help you know yourself better. This will hopefully aid you in answering important questions you often ask yourself.
Write about your experiences, good and bad. When you write down good experiences, allow yourself to feel those feelings. When you remember bad experiences, allow yourself to feel self-compassion(自我同情). Compassion is not self-pity, but rather a willingness to accept one’s own pain and regret. Compassion allows us to be present with our pain, so we can acknowledge it and let it go.
32. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. We must show great respect for others. B. We should love ourselves in order to get love.
C. We should overcome any difficulty. D. We must have mercy on everyone.
33. According to the passage, most people _______
A. have a dependable way to create love in their lives
B. keep their self-respect hidden in their hearts
C. are longing to get love from family or friends
D. are waiting for chances to give love to others
34. When you realize you have made a mistake, _______.
A. you should blame yourself for what you have done
B. you should find a way to bring joy to others.
C. you should face a mirror for a long time.
D. you should learn a lesson from your mistake.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To show how smartly he can love himself. B. To give advice on how to love ourselves.
C. To warn us not to be lost in self-pity. D. To express a special love for the readers.

Believe that the owner would be worried, I immediate tried the number. A man answered it at an anxious voice.
