B. READING:
I. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer:
1. Going to party can be fun and enjoyable. If you are invited to a party, do call your host up early to inform
him! her of whether you are going. If you want to bring someone who has not been invited along with you, you
should ask for permission first. Remember to dress appropriately for the
party. You will stick out like a sore thumb if you are dressed formally whereas everyone else is in Tshirt and
jeans. If you are not sure what to wear, do ask your host.
During the party you may perhaps like to help your host by offering to serve drinks or wash the dishes.
Your host would certainly appreciate these efforts. If you happen to be in a party you do not know anyone, do
not try to monopolize the host's attention. This is inconsiderate since your
host has many people to attend to and can not spend all his/ her time with you. Instead, learn to mingle with
others at the party. You could try breaking the ice by introducing yourself to someone who is friendlylooking.
Before you leave the party, remember to thank your host first. If you have the time, you could even offer to
help your host clean up the place.
41. If you are invited to a party, you should ________.
a. take someone with you

2. There are many proverbs about friends and friendship, such as “True friendship is like sound health; the value
of its seldom know until it is lost”, and “A real friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks
out”. When you read these quotes, stop and think about your friendship. Do you and your friends act in a caring
way towards one another, do you respect them and do they respect you, but most of all do you value the
relationship and love spending time together? Friendship is more than just hanging out together and gossiping
about other people. True friendship is when two people have mutual respect for one another, and really care
about the each other’s feelings and dreams. You need to be able to be honest with your friends. If there is ever a
time when you feel that you cannot tell them the truth, for fear that they will be mad or will not understand, then
they are not true friends. Friends share with each other important things that they would not share with others.

3. Each nation has many good people who take care of others. For example, some of the high school and college
students in the United States often spend many hours in hospitals, orphanages, or home for the aged. They read
books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clear up, or repair
their houses, do the shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is an organization
called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or on fishing trips and
help them to get to know things those boys usually learn from their fathers.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go and play games or learn crafts. Some of these
clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of interest.

to remember the problems of younger boys and girls.

5. The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American ideal than an
American reality. Of course, the socalled traditional American family was always more varied than we had
been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different
American groups. The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American
families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or
have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American
households are single people, usually women over sixtyfive years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent
of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent are single,
usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore,
normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the
traditional one.
1. With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?
a. The traditional American family b. The nuclear family
c. The current American family d. The ideal family
2. The writer implies that___________.
a. there have always been a wide variety of family arrangement in the United States
b. racial, ethnic, and religious groups have preserved the traditional family structure
c. the ideal American family is the best structure
d. fewer married couples are having children
3. The word 'current' in line 7 could best be replaced by which of the following?
a. typical b. present
c. perfect d. traditional
4. According to the passage, married couples whose children have grown or who have no children represent
____.
a. 3 percent of households b. 20 percent of households
c. 7 percent of households d. 33,3 percent of households
5. Who generally constitutes a oneperson household?
a. A single man in his twenties b. An elderly man
c. A single woman in her late sixties d. A divorced woman

ice cream. I pulled my hand away and unluckily the ice cream came out of the cone. Now there was a bald
man. The man wasn’t doing any harm. He was just sitting on a bench and reading a newspaper. When I pulled

A. READING:
I. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer:
1. Going to party can be fun and enjoyable. If you are invited to a party, do call your host up early to inform
him! her of whether you are going. If you want to bring someone who has not been invited along with you, you
should ask for permission first. Remember to dress appropriately for the
party. You will stick out like a sore thumb if you are dressed formally whereas everyone else is in Tshirt and
jeans. If you are not sure what to wear, do ask your host.
During the party you may perhaps like to help your host by offering to serve drinks or wash the dishes.
Your host would certainly appreciate these efforts. If you happen to be in a party you do not know anyone, do
not try to monopolize the host's attention. This is inconsiderate since your
host has many people to attend to and can not spend all his/ her time with you. Instead, learn to mingle with
others at the party. You could try breaking the ice by introducing yourself to someone who is friendlylooking.
Before you leave the party, remember to thank your host first. If you have the time, you could even offer to
help your host clean up the place.
46. If you are invited to a party, you should ________.

2. There are many proverbs about friends and friendship, such as “True friendship is like sound health; the value
of its seldom know until it is lost”, and “A real friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks
out”. When you read these quotes, stop and think about your friendship. Do you and your friends act in a caring
way towards one another, do you respect them and do they respect you, but most of all do you value the
relationship and love spending time together? Friendship is more than just hanging out together and gossiping
about other people. True friendship is when two people have mutual respect for one another, and really care
about the each other’s feelings and dreams. You need to be able to be honest with your friends. If there is ever a
time when you feel that you cannot tell them the truth, for fear that they will be mad or will not understand, then
they are not true friends. Friends share with each other important things that they would not share with others.
Friends also care about each other, stick up for one another and enjoy spending time together.

3. Each nation has many good people who take care of others. For example, some of the high school and college
students in the United States often spend many hours in hospitals, orphanages, or home for the aged. They read
books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clear up, or repair
their houses, do the shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is an organization
called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or on fishing trips and
help them to get to know things those boys usually learn from their fathers.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go and play games or learn crafts. Some of these
clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of interest.
Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough
to remember the problems of younger boys and girls.

5. The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American ideal than an
American reality. Of course, the socalled traditional American family was always more varied than we had
been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different
American groups. The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American
families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or
have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American
households are single people, usually women over sixtyfive years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent
of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent are single,
usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore,
normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the
traditional one.
