C
During my first two weeks at the University of California , Berkeley , I experienced some unexpected , funny , and sometimes embarrassing(令人尴尬的) situations . Allow me to share
some with you .
But first , let me give advice to other foreign students who plan to study in the United States . Check the weather before coming ! I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris . It was a huge mistake ! It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkeley .
I have to say that I quickly forgot these unlucky events . Life in Berkeley is very pleasant and everything is so easy compared to Paris . For example , in only 24 hours I bought a mobile phone and made the lease(租约) agreement for a flat . What’s more , almost all the shops are open on Sunday , which is very practical for me .
The first thing that surprised me is that students may come late to class . They freely enter and leave the classroom many times during class , In France , students respect the teacher’s lesson , so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class .
The local people in California are in general very nice , open and active , However , I am not totally used to their habits yet . Indeed , I was used to shaking my friends’ hands every day in France . During my second day at Berkeley , I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me ―I think we already met !‖
Another funny story happened during the first party I attended : A girl that I meet before came to hug me . I thought she wanted to kiss me like we usually do in France to say hello . So I kissed her and she seemed a little bit embarrassed .
I live a great experience at present , and I would just encourage any student to become a member in a program at UC , Berkeley .
31. According to the writer’s advice , before students study in America , they should .
A. make a lease agreement for a flat
B. leave their warm clothes at home
C. pay attention to the local weather
D. prepare a phone as early as possible
32. When the writer’s classmate said ―I think we already met !‖ , he meant .
A. he and the write had known each other in France
C. he was not used to shaking hands with others
D. the write had forgotten about their last meeting
33. What does the writer mainly want to tell us ?
A. His experience at UC , Berkeley .B. The relationship between classmates .
C. His advice on studying abroad . D. The difference in attending a class .
D
Your body is special – no two people in the world are alike , Although you are different from everyone else , you have exactly the same body parts as the people around you , doing different jobs that keep all of us alive .
What is inside my head ?
B. Americans needn’t shake hands when they met again

But it was very hard for people from Europe to visit China then. After three and a half years, the Polos reached China on 1275.
While he was there, Marco Polo worked Kublai Khan, the emperor（皇帝）of China. He was able to learn and experience many things that were new to Europeans. In his diary, he wrote, “Kublai Khan’s palace is the greatest I’ve ever seen. The streets of the new capital. Daidu, are so straight and so wide.” Paper money also took him by surprise, since it was not yet in use in the West at that time. Homes were beated with “black stones... which burn like wood.” These stones were coal, and most of the Europeans knew little about it then.
After 17 years in China, Marco and his family finally returned to Venice in 1992. After he returned home, Marco completed a book about his trip, full of facts about his wonderful experiences in China.

The olive（橄榄）tree probably first grew in southern Asia. And then it spread to Mediterranean（地中海的）countries about 6,000 years ago. Since then, it has been important in Mediterranean people’s lives.
The olive tree grows in rocky places and it doesn’t need much water. Its fruit can be made into olive oil. People have used olive oil to cook dishes for centuries. But they haven’t only used it for cooking. Some ancient cultures believed that it was useful as medicine. In modern times, people still use olive oil both for its taste and its health advantages.
Olive oil has also been an important product in the business and culture of Mediterranean countries. In ancient Greece, for example, anyone who cut down an olive tree was heavily punished. Winners at the Olympic Games wore wreaths（花环）. They were made of olive branches（树枝）. Sometimes winners were also given a prize of olive oil. People from Greece built ships so that they could use olive oil for trade. But it was the Romans who grew the olive tree in the rest of southern Europe and northern Africa.

Rock climbing is a popular hobby that many people enjoy doing. You can do it indoors on special walls or outdoors on real mountains. There are many advantages of rock climbing—it is fun and it also helps people forget worries.
The most important equipment（装备）to have is good shoes. They need to be half a size smaller than your usual size. The next thing you need is a harness（保护带）. This allows you to move freely, but will hold you up if you fall. It’s important to know how to use your equipment. If you are a beginner, it’s best to have lessons. A climber with experience can help you a lot in the beginning.
Rock climbing is very exciting for people of different ages. Climbers, however, must be careful not to pollute the environment. Sometimes rock climbers leave rubbish on the mountains where they climb. They should take it with them and throw it away. This will allow future climbers to enjoy a clean environment.
