a man to paint the rooms in new colours.
It was very difficult to get tickets for her show, because everybody wanted to see it.
So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make
him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more
about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s bill (账单). At the bottom

In American history, Benjiemin Frankin was very famous. He was a leader of the American
Revolution against English rule. He was also a scientist, inventor and writer. And he was
even well-known for his proverbs(谚语). Some of them are still used today, like this one:
“ Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” And another one
is “ A penny saved is a penny earned”, which means that money should not be wasted.
Americans like to use proverbs, which have deep meanings. Here is an interesting
collection of proverbs that Americans use. Some people say “Absence makes the heart grow
fonder.” This means you love someone even more when he or she is far away.
Another proverb says “ Love is blind.” In other words, when you are in love with someone,
you may refuse to see anything bad about that person.
Some people only want to like someone who is very good-looking. You might tell them
that “ Beauty is only skin deep.” Yuor girl friend may be lovely to look at, but she may
also have some bad qualities(品质). Or maybe your boyfriend is a wonderful person, but not
good-looking. So what a person looks like is not really important.
In the end, we must say, “All good things must come to an end.” Make another collection
of proverbs if you like. Anyway, “Actions speak louder than words.”

第一节 回答问题(10 分)
阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容简要回答下列问题。
Look around when you’re on a subway. What’s the most popular time-killing activity?
In China, many people play on their cell phones. But in other countries, many people
enjoy reading. Chinese people read an average(平均) of 4.5 books this year, according to
a recent survey. While a US citizen reads 21 a year and a Japanese reads 17, according to
UNESCO(联合国教科文组织).
Reading books builds a bridge between our life and the unknown world. In many foreign
countries, people read at any time. Even backpackers(背包客) enjoy reading books when
they’re on a break at the beach, or relaxing from a hike.
Many hotels abroad also offer the book exchange for visitors. Simply drop off your
finished books and take those that others have left behind.
In most US middle schools, teachers give students a reading list every few weeks. Most
books are easy to read like youth novels. Some schools then hold competitions by asking
students details(细节) of a book.
Good reading habits lead you to lifelong love for books. What can we do to form good
reading habits?
* Read in short periods. 10 minutes in the way to and from school, 10 minutes waiting
for friends, and 15 minutes before going to sleep. That totals 45 minutes per day, about
five hours per week.
* Make your own reading list. Your list can be the best-selling books on famous websites
like The New York Times or Dangdang.com, or the books your teacher recommends(推荐)。
* Talk about your reading with your family or friends.
56. In which country people like reading the most, China, the US or Japan?
