Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we can’t be more familiar with the fact of friendship, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends, especially with Americans. Here are some pieces of advice on making friends with Americans:
* Visiting places Americans enjoy: parties, churches, restaurants, parks and sports clubs.
* Be willing to take the first step. Don’t wait for them to get close to you. Americans in China may not know you speak English. They may be uncomfortable if they can’t speak your language.
* Use small talks to open the conversation. Ask them where they’re from, why they come to China, etc. Remember: Be careful not to ask personal questions about age, salary and so on.
* Show an interest in their culture, their country or their job. Americans like to talk about themselves.
* Invite them to join you for dinner or just for coffee or tea. Try to set a specific （明確的）time. Americans sometimes make general invitations like “Let’s go out for a dinner sometime.” Often this is just a way to be friendly. It’s not always a real invitation.
* Don’t expect too much at first. Maybe they’re being friendly. But maybe they want to be your good friends. It will take time to tell.
小題1:According to the passage, Americans like to visit the following places except ______.
A．shopping centersB．parksC．sport clubsD．churches

B．How much do you get in a month?
C．Nice to meet you! Are you from America?
D．Let’s get together sometime. I want to ask you some questions.
小題4:Which is the best way to make friends with an American?
A．To ask him if he is willing to make friends with you.
B．To spend a long time learning about him.
C．To wait until he tells you his thoughts.
D．To ask him to join you for dinner.

試題分析：本文說(shuō)朋友在我們的生活中扮演著重要的角色，并就如何與美國(guó)人交朋友給出了六條有用的建議。
小題1:通過(guò)Visiting places Americans enjoy: parties, churches, restaurants, parks and sports clubs.可知，沒(méi)有提到 shopping centers，所以本題選A。
小題2:通過(guò)閱讀全文，文中共提到六點(diǎn)建議，也就是帶星號(hào)的部分。所以本題選C。
小題3:通過(guò)閱讀第三條建議，可知我們可以問(wèn)他們來(lái)自哪里，為什么來(lái)中國(guó)，但不能問(wèn)一些私人的信息。所以本題選C。
小題4:根據(jù)最后一條我們可知，第一次不要期望過(guò)多，要成為好朋友，需要花費(fèi)時(shí)間加以了解。只有B選項(xiàng)符合要求。所以本題選B。
小題5:通過(guò)閱讀文章，我們知道本文主要講述了應(yīng)如何根據(jù)美國(guó)人的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣與美國(guó)人交朋友，ABD選項(xiàng)都比較片面，所以本題選C。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題中的題目在文中都不能完全找到合適的句型，都需要我們進(jìn)行通讀全文，加以總結(jié)和合理的推斷。閱讀時(shí)還應(yīng)該注意文章的細(xì)節(jié)部分，不能過(guò)于絕對(duì)。所以本題一定要注意對(duì)整篇文章的把握，不能局限于某句話(huà)上。

In the Caucasus region（高加索地區(qū)）, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday, and many don’t stop at 100! By comparison, in America only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these Caucasus people aren’t alone. The Pakistani Hunzas, who live high in the Himalaya Mountains, and the Vilcabambans of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador seem to share the secret of long life too.
　　These peoples remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time. While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s, some Caucasus people aged 110-140, work in the fields beside their great-great-grandchildren. Even the idea of aging is foreign to them. When asked, “At what age does youth end?” most of these old people had no answer. Several replied, “Well, perhaps at age 80.” The very youngest estimate was age 60.
　　What accounts for this ability to survive (live) to such old age, and to survive so well? First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived peoples. They began their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam is 142 years of age. He remembers his life experience: the Crimean War of 1854; the Turkish War of 1878; the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Rustam has no plan of retiring from his life as a farmer. “Why? What else would I do?” he asks. Oh, he’s slowed down a bit. Now he might quit (stop working) for the day after 6 hours in the field instead of 10.
　　All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work. They all come from mountainous regions. They live and work at elevations（海拔）of 5,000 to 12, 000 feet(1,660 to 4,000meters) above sea level. The air has less oxygen and is pollution-free. This reduced oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel（血管）system stronger.
　　Another factor（因素）that may lead to the good health of these people is their isolation. To a great extent, they are separated from the pressure（壓力）and worries of industrial society.
　　Inherited（遺傳的） factors also play some role. Most of the longest-lived peoples had parents and grandparents who also reached very old age. Good family genes may, therefore, be one factor in living longer.
　　Finally, although these three groups don’t eat exactly the same foods, their diets are similar. All of them eat little animal meat. Their diets are full of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, cheese and milk. They never eat more food than their bodies need.
　　It is clear that isolation from urban pressure and pollution, clean mountain air, daily hard work, moderate diets, good genes, and a youthful approach to life all lead to the health and remarkable long life of all these people.
小題1: What is the main idea of this article?
A．Cause and effect of long-lived life.
B．People in the world enjoying a longer life.
C．Factors leading to the health and long life of people.
D．A description of several societies where people living a long life.
小題2: “The idea of aging is foreign to them” means that _________.
A．they don’t care much about their age
B．they have no idea of how old they are
C．they won’t say anything about their age until they are asked to
D．the idea of getting old has never come into their mind
小題3: How do you think the writer feels about these long-lived people?
A．He is much impressed with them.
B．He doesn’t care a bit about them.
C．He hopes that they will live a still longer life.
D．He doesn’t think their life is full of pressure and worries.
