The United States is a rather relaxed place once you arrive. But we do have a few rules that foreign visitors may not know about. The following are some tips about traveling in the USA.
DON'T Try to See Too Much
Many foreign visitors to the USA try to see New York,Washington, D. C., and Los Angeles all in one trip. 36 The best way to see the USA is to focus on di region and travel more deeply.
DON’T Assume You Can Smoke Anywhere
Certain cities and states in the USA have strict measures against smoking. In cities like New York,it is illegal to smoke in most indoor spaces,like malls. 37
DO Be on Time
The concept of flexible time does not go over well in the USA. If someone in the USA tells you to meet them at 8 p.m., you should meet them at 8 p.m. — or arrive a few minutes early. 38
DON’ T Use American Slang(俚語)
Despite what you may have heard in American movies and music,it is best not to try to use American slang when traveling in the USA. 39 In many cases,it will also offend the locals that you meet.
DO Obey Traffic Signs and Laws
Traffic and parking laws are enforced (執(zhí)行) well in the USA. 40 Traffic laws and parking laws are different in different cities,so check out if you plan to drive a vehicle.
A. It is informal language that is used especially by people who belong to a particular group.
B. In California,it is even banned outside,such as at the beach or in public parks.
C. Americans take punctuality very seriously and it is considered rude to be late.
D. It has some of the strictest anti-smoking measures in the world.
E. Using such language will make you look like an idiot.
F. That kind of touring can leave a traveler very tired.
G. For example,drivers should obey the speed limit.
話題:旅游與交通
本文是說明文。文章介紹了去美國旅行時的一些注意事項。
36. F。本段建議大家不要一次看太多地方，因為這 樣會“讓旅行者很累”。
37. B.本段是關(guān)于吸煙的一些注意事項。在美國 的一些城市和州，在大多數(shù)室內(nèi)吸煙是犯法的， 而“在加利福尼亞，在諸如海灘和公共花園等戶 夕卜，吸煙也是禁止的”。B項中的it指代smoking。
38. C.本段建議大家守時。根據(jù)本空上一句可知， “美國人很認真地對待守時的問題，遲到會被認 為不禮貌”。
39. E。棱據(jù)本空下一句中的it will also可知，“使用 俚語不僅讓你看起來像個傻瓜”,在很多時候還 今冒也到當ife入。E項中的such language指的 就是slang。
40. G。本段是關(guān)于交通法規(guī)的一些注意事項。G 項“比如說，司機需要遵守限速規(guī)定”符合本段 語境。

E-cigarettes began as a way to stop people from smoking tobacco. But a new study among teens suggests a scary. effect: E-cigarettes are now appealing to non-smokers,as well. In a survey of over 2 ,000 California high school juniors and seniors,researchers from the University of Southern California discovered that over 40 percent of teen e-cigarette smokers have never smoked traditional cigarettes.
The National Youth Tobacco Survey reports a nearly 9 percent increase in the number of high school students using e-cigarettes from 2013 to 2014,more than enough to stifle (掩蓋) the 3. 5 percent decrease in teen cigarette use,as recorded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While 9 percent may not sound like a ton,the amount of middle and high school students using e-cigarettes has actually tripled(增至三倍) .
How,despite decades of anti-smoking advocacy efforts,have e-cigarettes gained such massive popularity in such a short time? Scientists say that the “renormalization” of teen smoking may not be entirely self-inflicted(自己造成的) .A study found that 34 percent of adolescent e-smokers are exposed to electronic cigarettes via a member of their family or friend groups.
Advertising also makes e-cigarettes look cool. E-cigarettes,which are not very expensive,are marketed as a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes,and teens are buying the message. In a recent study in North Carolina,high schoolers easily made a list of the dangers of smoking tobacco,but when asked to do the same with regard to e-cigarettes,the teens were unsure whether the devices could be considered safe. Some weren't even aware that e-cigarettes contain nicotine. But e-cigarettes do contain nicotine. It is highly addictive,which is why some consider e-cigarettes a gateway drug.
If stressing the dangers of tobacco helped make cigarettes uncool,we can do the same to destroy e-cigarettes.
29. According to Paragraph 1 ,what is frightening is that .
A. few tobacco smokers quit smoking
B. non-smokers are attracted to e-cigarettes
C. more and more people are smoking tobacco
D. smokers are replacing tobacco with e-cigarettes
30. From 2013 to 2014,student e-cigarette smokers in high school increased by about .
A. 3. 5% B. 9%
C. 27% D. 40%
31. About one third of teen e-smokers use e-cigarettes because of .
A. e-cigarettes’ low prices
B. cool designs of e-cigarettes
C. the influence of people around them.
D. their dislike of traditional cigarettes
32. What can we infer from Paragraph 4 ?
A. E-cigarettes are different from drugs.
B. Most teens know the dangers of e-cigarettes.
C. E-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes.
D. Teens are misled by e-cigarette advertisements.

Jason Detzel was bored with his work as a psychologist,and he was tired of spending all day in an office. Dr. Detzel felt that in the city he was losing touch with something important,so he quit his job and started a farm.
He and his business partner found 80 acres of land in a small town and signed a 10-year lease (租約) . While some farms used a lot of machinery,they decided they wanted to do as much as possible with their own hands. They built a corral(畜欄) for the cows,pig shelters and a house for the chickens.
“I’m definitely happier being out in the fields with my animals. Even if there are bad days,I'm still happy,” Dr. Detzel said. “When you’ re inside all day,you don't get to see nature working."
“The job is different every day on the farm. It's amazing,” he said. “You.’ re a farmer. You’ re an animal doctor. You’ re a pipe fitter. You’ re definitely a carpenter a lot. You're a jack of all trades(萬事通） master of none. That's what I like about it."
Learning how to manage the animals had been one of the biggest challenges of starting the farm,Dr. Detzel said. He learned that it was important to stick to a routine. That's why he rang the same bell and called to the cows in the same way each day. The routine helped keep the cows calm and cooperative.
It wasn't easy for Dr. Detzel to be accepted by the other farmers in his community. With all his tattoos(文身) ，he looked very different. When he started the farm he was in his early 30s,while most other farmers were older. There weren't many young people starting farms,because it had become harder and harder for small family farms to make much income.
Dr. Detzel said that began to change when more people became locavores. A locavore is someone who tries to eat food grown and raised nearby. By shopping at their local farmers’ market,many locavores hope to reduce the amount of energy used to ship food long distances. Many locavores like knowing where their food comes from and being able to talk to the farmers about what chemicals were used and how the animals were treated.
21. What was the main purpose of Dr. Detzel starting a farm?
A. To get back to nature.
B. To make more money.
C. To study agricultural machinery.
D. To keep in touch with his friends.
22. What did Dr. Detzel like about his job on the farm?
A. He often traded at a profit.
B. He was good at many things.
C. He could do many types of work.
D. He could get to know many farmers.
23. To manage the animals,Dr. Detzel.
A. followed a routine
B. used different bells
C. learned from other farmers
D. called professionals for help
24. A locavore prefers.
A. self-produced food
B. healthy organic food
C. food from distant places
D. food grown by local farmers
