I certainly owe you an apology for not writing more often，because I have been absorbed in studying English literature. I have been familiar with the life here，that is，I have got used to their customs and culture.
I’m excited at the news that you’ll pay a visit to London. Here you can see many old buildings belonging to the Middle Age. I suggest that you exchange traveller’s cheques at banks and that when in England，you not laugh in public places because the majority of Englishmen can’t bear it. By the way，who will see you off at the airport?，阅读理解s，so it is often said that eyes can speak. In a bus you may look at a stranger，but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at，he may feel uncomfortable. It’s the same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary，you will look at yourself up and down，to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong，you will feel angry toward others’ stare at you that way. Eyes do speak，right?e and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze，his intentions are obvious，that is，he wishes to attract her attention，to make her understand that he is admiring her.，the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time，in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the other is speaking，to tell him that he is attentive.，as if he tries to dominate (支配) you，you will feel embarrassed. A poor liar (说谎者) usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim，since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.
In fact，continuous eye contact is confined (局限于) to lovers only，who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time，to show affection that words cannot express. ，eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.解题导语 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了视线接触方面的知识：凝视着陌生人是不礼貌的行为，被人无故凝视会觉得不舒服，持续的视线接触只适合于爱人之间等。does the second paragraph suggest?
A．Looking at a stranger continuously is necessary.
B．Looking at a stranger continuously is not polite.
C．Something happens in our eyes.
D．Strangers should avoid eye contact.
B [推理判断题。根据第二段第三句可知，盯着别人看会让人不舒服，因此盯着陌生人看是不礼貌的行为，所以B项正确。根据第三段第一句也可知正确答案。]
”．B．attention [词义猜测题。根据该句中的“glances at”以及“refuses to turn away ...”可知，该句句意为：如果一个男子看着一位女士超过十秒，并拒绝转移他的视线，那么他的意图就很明显了。由此可推知，gaze在此意为“视线，目光”。故D项正确。]
． [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“In fact，continuous eye contact is confined (局限于) to lovers only ...”可知，持续的视线接触只适用于爱人之间。故A项正确。] [推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，上文讲述了视线接触应根据两个人之间的关系进行。由此可推知，下文应该讲述视线接触的相关场合。故D项正确。]，May 11，a lot of kids will give their mothers cards and flowers.May 11？Because this year，May 11 is ！It’s a holiday that goes back a long，long time—more than 2，000 years，according to some historians.They say it began with an ancient Greek celebration honoring Rhea—the goddess who was considered the mother of all the other Greek gods.Her festival was held every spring.

D．More than 2，000 years ago. [考查细节理解。根据第一段第四句中的“more than 2，000 years，according to some historians”可知，在历史学家看来，母亲节这个节日可以追溯到2 000多年前。故选D项。] was the anniversary of her mother’s passing.
B．Because the date was easy to remember by all people.

B [考查推理判断。根据第三段倒数第二句话中的“she opposed what she saw as the growing commercialization of the holiday”和最后一句话中的“not as a day to make money”可推知，让Anna担忧的是，现在的母亲节被商业化了，人们对母亲的爱的表达只停留在花钱买东西上。]阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 M：Mary，I hope you’re packed and ready to leave.：Yes，I’m packed，1

For example，we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian，whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman，whether the unfamiliar person on our property (领地) is a thief or a meter reader，and so on.，and change throughout life. Most of us can，at very high speed，assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people，based on a constant mental process of assessment and understanding although some of us find the task more difficult than others；most of us perform it rather effortlessly.and material. But an American is not free to choose the clothes of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society.
Furthermore，our choice is limited to a size that will fit，as well as by our pocketbook.

Statuses too come readymade，and the range of choice among them is limited.解题导语 本文是一篇说明文。“身份”是人类了不起的发明创造，它
