When Rachel returned, it never occurred to her to her coins until two days later that she realized some quarters were .

Sarah said, "Why don't you just ask him?"

"Ask him what? Hey, best friend, did you my coin collection?" Rachel thought for a moment, if that would be a good idea. The theft of her collection left her with a feeling of "How could I have misjudged my friend's ?"

The next day Rachel went to Eric's house. Eric was acting funny sort of nervous, like he couldn't be . In fact, Rachel thought Eric acted like someone with a secret.

Rented Boyfriends

Taobao. com, China's largest online marketplace, is never short of bizarre offers.

And here is the latest one: boyfriends for rent.

A rented boyfriend can do the following: accompanying the girl to visit friends and families, go shopping, having meals and even getting a kiss out of courtesy. The charge is by the hour.

The services become hot with the approach of the Spring Festival, the most important festival for family reunions.

In China, parents especially worry about unmarried daughters.

Single women will have to face the same old question at the family dinner table: have you got a boyfriend?

And for those who haven't found their Mr. Rights, renting a boyfriend emerges as a solution.

So, which men are willing to offer that service?

“I offer such a service only because I'm bored and know fewer female friends at work," said Ding Hui, 27, a salesman in the plastic industry in Shanghai, with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan.

He rented himself twice last year: during the Spring Festival and National Day. His customers were two 28-year-old women.

He charged 3,000 yuan each, and the customer had to cover his round-trip tickets, accommodations and bought him clothes to make him look smart.

More than 260 rent-a-boyfriend services can be found on the taobao.com, with the number climbing.

An anonymous female netizen, who claimed to have rented a boyfriend, said on the website, "My parents are very satisfied, so my pressure is greatly reduced."

Another comment read, "It's good that I've achieved the wish of my parents."

1.On which site can women rent boyfriends? (within 4 words )

2.How does a rented boyfriend get paid? (within 3 words)

3.What question may single women have to face at the family dinner table? (within 5 words)

4.What did Ding Hui’s customer have to pay besides his service?(within 18 words )

5.For what reasons do single women rent boyfriends? ( within 15 words)

閱讀下面短文并回答問題，然后將答案寫到答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上（請注意每題的詞數(shù)要求）。

Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, “Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us.” That “quite” saddened me. I thought he was saying “we’re kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else.” Then I discovered that in American English “quite” sometimes means “very”, while in British English it means “fairly”.

So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don’t just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures.

Some of these differences may be only on the surface—dress, food and hours of work-while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate, while getting on with business.

Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality(準(zhǔn)時). If you invite people to a party at 7 o’clock, your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word “l(fā)ate” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.

1.Why was the author unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1?(within 12 words)

2.If one wants to work in foreign countries, what should he do first? (within 12 words)

3.What attracts people’s attention to the cultural differences? (within 5 words)

4.Who are usually punctual when invited to a party the people? (within 2 words)

5.According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences? (within 7 words)
