They may call both the people they meet once or twice and their close companions (伙伴) “friends". Their friendship depends on the same interests. When their same interests become different, the friendship may disappear（消失）. In some culture, a friendship means a strong helpful feeling between two persons. The friendship is developed slowly and lasts long. However, American people think time is money. Studies show that one out of five American families moves every year. American friendships develop quickly, and they may break up quickly, too. Americans often chat easily with strangers and people from the United States may at first seem 3 friendly to someone when they need his or her help, so an American friendship is not a true one. Learning how Americans think of a friendship can stop people from other countries making mistakes. It can also help them know how to make friends with Americans. 根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。 1. American use the word “friend” in school only. 2. Americans' friendship depends on the same interests. 3. American friendship is developed slowly and lasts long. 4. All American families move every year. 5. From the passage we know an American friendship is not a true one. B Thanksgiving Day is a public holiday and celebration. It is on the fourth Thursday of November in the US and on the second Monday in October in Canada. For many Americans, it is the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation. Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember the early days. The most important of the celebration is a traditional dinner with food that comes from North America. The meal includes turkey, sweet potatoes and so on. On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. Thanksgiving is considered the beginning of Christmas period, and the next day many people go out to shop for Christmas presents. 6. When is Thanksgiving Day in Canada? A.

A traditional dinner C Ye Shiwen, the famous Chinese swimmer, won gold medals in the 200-meter and 400-meter personal freely swimming and broke the world record in the 400-meter game 4 with the time of 4'28"43 at the 2012 Summer Olympics. As Ye set an Olympic record, winning a second gold in the 200m personal freely swimming on Tuesday night, it was said that in her winning performance in Saturday's 400m race, she swam the last 50m quicker than the men's champion. Two games, two golds, and everybody wants to know if Ye Shiwen has taken something to improve her performance. She faced one question after another over whether she has taken performance-enhancing drugs. At a press conference after she won, she said she agreed with Jiang Zhixue, who earlier in the day told the reporter that some people were biased (有偏见) against Chinese swimmers. He said, “We never questioned Michael Phelps when he won eight gold medals in Beijing. I think it is not right to complain about Chinese swimmers once they have good results. Some people are just too jealous.” The 16-year-old Chinese swimmer has been doubted, but the strong-minded girl insisted that she had never taken performance-enhancing drugs. Ye is smaller than most swimmers at her level but has never failed any drug test, and the Olympic organizers spent much of the day defending her, saying all the doubts were “crazy" and "full of jealousy". Sports officials and fans in China have reacted angrily to confusing suggestions by a US swimming coach. 11. Ye Shiwen is a(n) ________. A. American runner B. British golfer C. Chinese swimmer D. German shooting athlete 12. Ye Shiwen broke the ________ world record. A. 200-meter swimming B. 400-meter swimming C. 200-meter relay race D. 400-meter relay race 13.

Some children spend six hours a day in school and four to six hours a day in front of the television set. Some even watch television for eight hours or more on Sunday. Televisions are like books or films. A child can learn bad things and good things from them. Some shows help children to understand the news and places from other countries or other times in history. With television a child does not have to go to the zoo to see animals or to the ocean to see a ship. Boys and girls can see a play, a concert or a game at home. Television brings many places and events into our homes. Some programs show crime and other things that are bad for children, so parents sometimes help them find other interesting things to do.5 16.
