Mr. and Mrs. Smith have just opened a small restaurant. They want people to come to the restaurant to eat, so they put a sign in front of it, which said: "Meals on the house for three days."
A foreign student who didn't know much English passed by the restaurant on the second day. It was lunchtime and he felt hungry. "Well, here is a restaurant. I'm going to have something to eat," he said.
He saw the sign when he walked towards the restaurant. "American people are really strange. They even eat on the house!  But how can I get onto the top of the house?" he asked himself
He looked around and found a ladder(梯子)against a tree nearby. He was very pleased. But as he got up to the top, he heard someone shouting at him: "Hey, what are you doing up there?" Mr. Smith was looking at him angrily. Beside him was a policeman.
“Doesn't your sign say 'Meals on the house for three days'? Is it just a joke?" the foreign student answered.

My name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded me to buy one. Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming. They are Dai(傣族人) and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got them interested in bike riding too. After graduating from college, we finally got the chance to take a bike trip. I asked my sister, "Where are we going?" It was my sister who first had the idea to ride along the whole Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends. Now she is planning our schedule for the trip.

My sister has one serious shortcoming(缺點). She can be really stubborn(固執(zhí)的). Although she didn't know the best way of getting to places, she insisted(堅持) that she organize the trip properly. Now, I know that the proper way is always her way. I kept asking her, "When are we leaving and when are we coming back?" I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course, she hadn't; my sister doesn't care about details(細節(jié)). So I told her that the source (源頭)of the Mekong River is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a determined look—the kind that said she would not change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres, she seemed to be excited about it. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe(呼吸) and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well. Once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it. Finally, I had to give in.
Several months before our trip, Wang Wei and I went to the library. We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography. From it we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a mountain in Qinghai Province. At first the river is small and the water is clear and cold. Then it begins to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, travelling across western Yunnan Province. Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm. As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea.
小題1:Who planned the trip to the Mekong River?
A．Wang KunB．Wang WeiC．Dao WeiD．Yu Hang
小題2:The Mekong River  begins from________.
A．KunmingB．western Yunnan ProvinceC．Qinghai ProvinceD．the South China Sea
小題3:According to the passage, which of the following can you see when you travel along the Mekong River  ?
A．An island.B．Taiwan. C．Some lions. D．A waterfall.
小題4:Which of the following is NOT TURE according to the passage?
A．Wang Kun and Wang Wei dreamed about taking a bike trip and finally they got the chance.
B．Wang Kun thought that it would be easy to start their trip in Qinghai.
C．Wang Kun had to stop arguing with Wang Wei and accept her idea finally.
D．Wang Kun and Wang Wei didn’t know that half of the river is in China before they went to the library.
小題5:What do you think is the best title of the passage ?
A．The Dream And The PlanB．A Trip In The Mountain
C．The Mekong RiverD．A Great Bike Trip
