【推荐1】A friendship that lasted over 60 years, stretching thousands of miles, began with a comic book.

Bocher was just 14 and living in New York when she saw a boy's name and address in a comic book. It was common then for teenagers to become penfriends with children from other countries that way. So she wrote to Poulsen, who was two years older and living in Denmark. Then he wrote back, and a lifelong friendship began.

The pair first met in person two years after beginning their friendship when Poulsen was in America as an exchange student. “I had lived in New York for 16 years and had never been to the Statue of Liberty,” Bocher said “When he first came to see me, he took me there.”

They lost track of each other for a while during Bocher's college years, but connected again by chance.

“I was studying for my master's degree and I went on a study tour. On the last day of my three-week tour. I went to a cafe in Ireland.” Bocher was sitting next to a group of Danish salesmen and they began to chat. She told them the story of her and Poulsen. They were moved and said that they knew the town Poulsen lived in and agreed to carry a message for Bocher.

They saw each other at Bocher's Marlton home on June. 2019 when Poulsen and his wife came to visit her from Denmark. On this recent trip, Poulsen has spent about a month visiting friends in America, including Bocher, a retired educator.

【推荐2】I had a summer camp with my classmates last year.
Early in the morning. We met at the station. After saying goodbye to our parents，we got on the buses. It took us more than two hours to arrive at the campground. We got off the buses cheerfully. Laughing and shouting. We jumped and ran all over the place. It was the first time for us to be away from the parents .Some of us started to feel homesick(想家). However, when the night party and dances began, the homesickness was gone. The next day, everybody rushed to the boating class, hoping to be at the head of the others. At first, my friends and I worked hard, but the boat wouldn’t listen to us and kept going round and round. Then the teacher taught us how to work together. After many tries, we did much better. Swimming class was my favorite. It was about the hottest time of a day and the best time to stay in the cool water. The swimming teacher was a funny man, and during the class he often made us laugh happily. During the week I learned a lot of new things and made many new friends. I also learned how to take care of myself.

【推荐3】"Confidence" is probably one of the most noticeable traits（品质）in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor.

As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don't mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What's worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.

Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches.（The course I'm teaching here is Public Speaking）. Modesty is a trait highly valued in China but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.

1. To compete with American students, it's very important to_________.

A．be quite confident	B．be polite and friendly
C．have more discussions with them	D．understand what they think about

2. The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if __________.

A．he asks a student to repeat what he has said	B．the students bargain with him
C．he pretends to know what he doesn't	D．he has to give a speech

3. We learn from the passage that _________.

A．we should also remain modest in America

B．modesty doesn't help you much in America

C．Americans also like modest people

D．modesty can help you through an American graduate program

4. The passage is mainly developed by _________.

A．providing examples	B．making comparisons
C．giving different figures	D．telling personal experiences
