When I was fourteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad(国外) (Like many English children, I often went to France). So when I went to America, I thought I would have a nice easy holiday without any language problems.
How wrong I was! The misunderstanding(误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to tell my American friend Danny that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me. “Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well, that’s nice,” he said, “Are you getting married? But aren’t you too young?”
“Who is talking about marriage(婚姻)?” I replied, “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell him I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box?”
“Oh,” he said, “there is a phone downstairs.”
When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.
“Don’t worry,” he said to me, “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which Americans use differently in meaning from British people. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other.” 1. The writer was from _________.

2. The writer thought ________ in America at first.
A. he wouldn’t have any language problems
B. he would be lost and he had to call the police for help C. he wouldn’t understand the Americans D. he would have a terrible holiday

Do you hope to live a better life? Then how to make your wish come true? Keep away from anything that is useless. Do the right thing! However good or bad a situation is, it will change. The best is yet to come. Well, here are some tips for you to follow!
Mind your meals Try to eat more foods that grow naturally on trees and plants. Have meals on time every day. And remember not to go to school or work without breakfast, for it is more important than lunch or dinner.
Exercise and smile Each day take a forty- minute walk. Make time to practise some other exercise, such as yoga and Taiji. They offer us daily energy for our busy life. Try to smile and make at least three people smile each day.
Forget and forgive (原谅) Problems appear sometimes and they simply stay for a short time.
Forget what happened in the past. Don't always think of your past mistakes. Make peace with your past in order that it won’t destroy ( 毁 坏 ) your present happiness. Life is not very long, so we shouldn’t waste time hating anyone. Forgive everyone for everything.

I was a schoolgirl in Grade 7 when Danny came to my school and became one of my classmates. He was handsome with blond hair, so many girls in my class liked him very much. Every day, his parents picked him up in an old car. We all realized he was from a poor family. I had a poor family as well, but I just hid it from everyone. I was afraid the kids in my class would leave me if they knew the truth.
One day, our teacher, Mr. Smith, told us that we would have a field trip. We decided to go to an amusement park. My classmates were excited. I sat back and looked at them, knowing that my parents did not have the money to send me. To my surprise, Danny stood up and said , “I won’t go with you. My dad hurt his back, so he can’t work. I am not asking my parents for money.”
“Danny, I’m very proud of you for understanding your parents so well,” Mr. Smith replied. “But the trip is at the end of the month. We have lots of time to raise money for it.” While walking home from school that day, I noticed three boys talking with Danny. I was a little worried that they were only giving him a hard time. But as I got closer, I found they were only discussing how to raise money for the trip.
By standing up and admitting (承认) he was poor, Danny changed my life. I no longer felt I had to lie about my family’s situation. As for Danny, I will remember his courage(勇气) and honesty forever.
