Ⅳ Reading comprehension.
After reading the following passages, you will find 5 statements under each passage.
For each statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D, and you are requested
to make the correct choices.

Passage 1
American people are always in a hurry. It seems they don’t have time for
formality. So American informality is well known. But you may still feel somewhat
surprised at this “lack of respect”. This especially true in the business world.
Most Americans have little concern for “rank” or “title”. They often use first
names upon meeting people for the first time. They may introduce their friend to
you in this way: “Li Hong, this is Mary Smith.”In this situation, you are free
to call the lady “Mary” or “Miss Smith”. American people do not always shake
hands upon meeting strangers. They often just smile and say “Hi” or “Hello”.
To American people, such an informal greeting really means the same thing as a formal
4 13

hand shaking. Similarly, American people do not have a formal “farewell”. They
will just wave “goodbye” to the whole group. Or perhaps, they will simply say
“Bye” or “So long” and then leave. There are no hand shakes in most cases. To
Americans, a friendly, informal relationship is the most important thing.

1. When American people are introduced to one another, they usually b
a. say “How are you?”
b. smile and say “Hi!”
c. laugh loudly and say “Hello!”
d. shake hands with each other.

by saying c
a. “Hello, Hutchinson”
b. “Hi, ”
c. “Glad to meet you, John”
d. “Nice to meet you, John Hutchinson”
3. To American people, c .
a. friendly relationship is the most important thing
b. informality means politeness
c. “title” or “rank” is useless
d. hand shaking is not friendly
4. “American people do not have a formal farewell” means b .
a. they don’t say goodbye to each other
b. they are informal in saying goodbye to each other
c. they only wave hands to a group of people
d. they say “so long” instead of “goodbye”
is NOT true of American people according to the passage? d .
a. They are always in a hurry.
b. They seem to have no time for their formality.
c. They are well known for their informality.
d. They show no respect for each other.


Passage 2
There are some things about myself that I really like. First of all, I always
make an effort to do my best. I never give up halfway without trying my best.
For example, I have practiced the piano for more than twelve years. And now I
am learning English every day.
Secondly, I’m good at making people laugh. I feel happy when people smile
at the things I do. I make friends with anyone easily and now I have a lot of
friends.
Of course, I also have my weak points. I sometimes feel that I’m a bit
selfish or carless. I want to overcome these faults and I believe this will make
a man of me and people will love me better.
