　　For the British, the home is a private place in which he or she goes to hide away from the troubles of life. It is very seldom that one would be invited to a British person’s home. It is rude to knock on a person’s door if you are not invited. If you are invited, don’t ask to see more than the downstairs that your British host invites you into. Never ask how much the house or any of the items in it cost.

　　To the American, most of them want their home to be a place where they can entertain (款待) and share their lives with their friends. They may be delighted to give you a full tour of their houses. They may also be pleased when you show your interest and pleasure in their houses.

　　Both British and American people will engage in quite a bit of chat and a drink or two before the meal is served. After the first mouthful, you should say how delicious the food is and ask something about it. Remember, never eat with your mouth open and make very little noise while eating.

　　We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck. At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said, "Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won't last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won't last." After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted, "Dad! Dad! Holly crashed your truck."

　　My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say, "Here is a chance to show Holly what you really love. She'll never forget it."

　　The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van. In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal (油门). Holly was unhurt physically but when reached her, she was crying and saying, “Oh, Dad, I'm sorry. I know how much you love this truck." I held her in my arms as she cried.

　　Later that week a friend dropped by and asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened（润湿） and she said, "That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad's car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home, my dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me."

　　Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of the night. It was a deep wound on her soul. I remember how sad Holly was on the night she crashed our truck, and how I comforted her. One day, when Holly thinks back on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of property. I repaired the van, but the dent (凹陷） in my truck is still there today. Every day it reminds me of what really matters in my life.

　　71. What caused the crash?

　　A. The brakes weren't working.

　　B. Holly stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brakes.

　　C. Holly was drinking a soft drink while driving.

　　D. The car got a fiat tire and Holly lost control.

　　72. What happened to the author's friend after she ruined her dad's car?

　　A. She suffered physical pain for a long time.

　　B. She lost the courage to drive.

　　C. Her father kicked her out of the house.

　　D. Her father was violent towards her.

　　73. Which of the following descriptions is true according to the passage?

　　A. When the author first learned about the crash, he regretted sending his daughter to the store.

　　B. The author allowed his daughter to use his truck because his son was too young to drive.

　　C. When the author saw the crash, he was sorry for the damage to his beloved car.

　　D. By comforting his daughter, the author showed how much more he loved her than his truck.

　　74. What does the underlined sentence imply?

　　A. The wound recovered after 40 years.

　　B. Her soul was deeply hurt.

　　C. The hurt caused by her father affected her all the time.

　　D. Parents shouldn't beat their children.

　　75. The main idea of the story is that ______.

　　A. love is more important than possessions

　　B. parents should never let a teenager drive

　　C. there is no point blaming someone after an accident

　　D. we should always forgive others' mistakes

　　D

　　参考范文：My favorite teacher

　　In my high school, I have many good teachers, but my English teacher, Mr. Liu, who is about forty yours old, is the one I particularly like and respect.

　　He is kind but very strict and has a very special way of teaching. At the beginning of every class, he always tells us some interesting English stories to attract our attention and to make us interested in English. He is so humorous and experienced in teaching that he can make his lessons lively and interesting. When the bell rings to dismiss the class I always feel a bit sorry.

　　Mr. Liu teaches us how to write in simple, clear and correct English and to make ourselves understood to English speaking people. He takes a personal interest in each of us and has made a deep impression on us all.

　　Since Mr. Liu began to teach me English I have made rapid progress. I respect him and decide to choose teaching as my career.
