The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.
Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other.
Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other people’s lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.
As for U.S. police practice, there might still be some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the so-called “racial discrimination,” which is a sensitive topic in U.S. society.
If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.
32. The writer mentions the incident in Paragraph 1 to __________. A. show his opinion B. make complaints
C. bring up the topic D. criticize the local police
33. The underlined word “tranquility” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________. A. entertainment B. quietness C. freedom D. quality 34. What will the senior Chinese ladies most probably do after the incident? A. Go back to China. B. Fight for their right. C. Ask America to change its law. D. Keep the noise lower.
35. What’s the writer’s attitude towards senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park? A. He thinks all parties involved should be more tolerant. B. He strongly supports the action of the local police.
C. He considers it a shame for senior Chinese ladies to do so.
D. He suggests such kind of problem should be solved in the court. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分1 0分）

Do you want to put a smile on someone’s face? Maybe make their day a little bit brighter? 36 In fact, many things can be done as a part of your normal routine and cost little or nothing. Try out one or more of the following ways today to put smiles on their faces:
1. 37 Handwritten notes that are given to encourage, not just for thanking someone for a gift, are rare. That makes handwritten notes even more special. Start a new practice of sitting down and writing an encouraging note on a regular basis.
2. Take a friend out to lunch or invite him to your home. 38 If you feel like being more adventurous, throw a party for several of your friends.
3. Deliver a meal to someone you know that is sick or having a rough time. We have all been sick and know the last thing you want to do is be out of bed. There are also times when life is tough. 39
4. Ask a friend if you can take care of their kid for a day or evening. If you have been a parent, you
know the value of being able to have a few hours of free time without worrying about the children. 40 Offer to do it when the parents want to relax themselves.
Besides, there is one more way that can’t be ignored. Give a real smile to everyone you meet. You will experience how easy it is to get others to smile! A. Thank everyone that supports you. B. Write an encouraging note to others.
