Dear Aunt Carla,        I’m having a problem with my classmate, Joan, at school. The other day I wrote an email to another classmate, Beth, in which I said something about Joan that perhaps wasn’t very nice. Unluckily, when Beth was writing back to me, she sent it to HYPERLINK “mail to:   Joan@163.com,” Joan@163.com, which is Joan’s email address! Now Joan is really angry with me and won’t talk to me, and Beth is unhappy as well. She has said sorry to me a hundred times already, but the harm is done. I feel bad, because I would never have said those things to Joan’s face, but how do I get her to forgive (谅解) me? What should I do?

Dear Eric,        This problem is more common than you might think! Email is very useful, but also very dangerous, as you don’t know where your message might end up! First of all, you should say sorry right away to Joan. Explain that it was a mistake, and that you didn’t mean to hurt her feelings. It may take time for her to be able to forgive you, but that’s up to her. Then you might want to do something nice for her. Perhaps send her some flowers to show that you’re truly sorry. Also, you should remember that old saying: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” And good luck! Carla

23. Why did Eric write the email to Carla?

A．To say sorry.	B．To ask for advice.
C．To give advice.	D．To say something friendly.

24. How soon did Eric get the reply from Aunt Carla?

A．In one day.

B．In two days.

C．In a week.

D．In a month.

25. Carla gave ________ pieces of advice to Eric.

A．two

B．three

C．four

D．five

When you travel in other places, you’d better do things as the following:

Visiting other places just like visiting the home of your friends, you have to respect the place, respect the lifestyle, respect the culture and respect the people there.

Never complain about the differences between your place and the place you are.

Visiting, because no place is the same. If you expect everything is the same as in your place, why do you travel? Remember, complaint won’t make your trip enjoyable, just makes you look rude. And it seems that you don’t know how to respect others and you don’t know much about this world.

Respect and follow the culture and the lifestyle of people of other places. Don’t try to apply the way people in your place do to other places. If you do so, you will only be an unwelcome visitor in that place. So, why make yourself unwelcome and look silly?

Admire the differences of other places that you are visiting. It doesn’t mean losing face.

26. No matter where you go, what should you do?

A．Complain about the differences between my place and the place I am visiting.

Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand what he wants to teach them, and what he wants them to learn from him.

What visual (视觉的) artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colours, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colours, out of countless billions of, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colours, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.

Most artists take their shapes and colours from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and at rest; their choices indicate (指示) that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary (当代的) artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.

If one painter chooses to paint a decaying (腐烂) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something-all of which means that, consciously (有意识地) or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.

29. An artist hopes that the public will ________.

A．understand him and learn from him	B．notice only shapes and colours in his work
C．teach him something	D．believe what he says in his work

30. It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because he/she ________.

A．does not express himself/herself well	B．uses unusual words and phrases
C．uses shapes and colours instead of words	D．does not say anything clearly

31. The writer points out that the contemporary artists might say their choices of subject ________.

A．carry a message to the public	B．only provide interesting pattern
C．have no pattern or form	D．teach the public important truths

32. What do you know from the passage?

A．A painting is more easily understood than music.

B．Art is merely the arranging of shape and colours.

C．Every artist tries to say something consciously to the public.

D．One must look beyond shape and colour to find what the artist is saying.

       Mother Teresa once said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person.” However, a recent survey showed that 25% of Chinese never smiled or smiled less than five times a day. It also found that 2～6% of Chinese were willing to smile at strangers.
       To make a change, forty students from Shanghai Normal University started a team of “Smiling Volunteers”. Their first smiling task was to smile at all the visitors in the Shanghai Film Art Centre and ask if they needed their help. Not all students found it easy to smile all the time. “When volunteers help other people, smiling is the best way to make them understand that volunteers are ready and sincere (诚挚的),” one team leader said.
       A teacher in charge of (负责) the team thought the team’s work was not all fun and games. “Most of our students will be teachers after they leave university. Smiling is necessary for good teachers. We hope they can learn how to smile at each other,” she said. Everyone smiles in the same language. So it’s not important whether you are a teacher or not. After all, sincere smiling and helping hearts are the most important. If today you don’t start a day with a smile, it won’t be too late to start practising for tomorrow. Remember “The world always looks brighter from behind a smile.”
