One day we invited some friends to dinner. When it was about six o’clock, my wife found that we had little bread. So she asked our five-year-old daughter, Kathy, to buy some.
‘Here’s a dollar,’ my wife said, ‘get two loaves of bread, if they have it. If they don’t have it, get anything. But hurry!’
Kathy hurried off, and we waited and waited. By a quarter past six, all the friends had arrived. But Kathy had not returned. Finally we saw her dancing around the corner with a bright new hula hoop(呼啦圈) whirling(旋转) round her middle.
“Kathy!” her mother cried. “Where did you get that hula hoop, and where is the bread?”

You probably know you should say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?
Keep it down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. Not one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high.
Take them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense to listen to your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take one out! Sometimes it’s okay just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening to your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.
It’s your choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 Players when read books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.

A.is not enjoyable | B.makes us tired |
C.is bad for MP3 players | D.hurts our ears |
We can take one earphone out when we _____.
A.show others the way |
B.talk to fiends on the phone |
C.watch a sporting event |
D.have dinner with our parents |
It’s all right to use our MP3 player in _____.

Except for a few times, Americans are not big present-givers. There’s no exchange of presents among business people, and if one American tries to give another a present, it may look like that he wants to bribe (贿赂) him. Americans have learned that in some other countries people like to give presents to others, but among ourselves we don’t see the need for presents.
Even friends may never exchange presents. When I go to foreign countries, I try to bring back little things for close friends, but nobody would feel unhappy if I didn’t. I don’t often remember a friend’s birthday, and few people outside of my family remember mine. If someone gave me presents too often, I’d get unpleasant. But a present from a foreigner — that kind from his or her homeland — won’t go wrong, except to government employees (政府职员) who can’t be given presents.
You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday presents. You should only say, ‘It’s so nice. Thanks…’when you get Christmas or birthday presents.
You may want to bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) or flowers to a dinner party, but you’re never asked to. Nobody will mind if you bring wine, but your friend may not use it that evening.
At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends. We also give presents to people who have been helpful during the year like doormen, babysitters, housecleaners , newspaper senders — anyone who has often helped us.
What do the underlined words ‘close friends’ mean in the passage?
A.The friends who are very kind. |
B.The friends who live close to each other. |
C.The friends who were once classmates. |
D.The friends who you like most. |
What kind of presents don’t Americans usually open in front of the givers?
A.The small presents. |
B.Christmas or birthday presents. |
C.The expensive presents. |
D.The presents for dinner party. |
Why do Americans also give presents to housecleaners at Christmas?
A.To pay them. |
B.To help them. |
C.To thank them. |
D.To make them work harder. |
Which of the following do you think is right?
A.American business people don’t want presents because they are rich enough. |
B.The writer of this passage must be an American. |
C.Everyone must give presents to one’s family and friends at Christmas. |
D.Government employees can get little presents from a foreigner. |
What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Present-giving in the United States. |
B.Customs (习俗) in the United States. |
C.American people and present-giving. |
D.When and how to give presents. |
