I still clearly remember that day. I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep. I put signs in the windows that said, "Need a jack (千斤頂）.”

As I was about to give up，a truck stopped and a man got off. He looked at the situation, made a judgment and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife took a large bottle of water for us to wash our hands.

I tried to put $ 20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so I went to give it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked their little girl where they lived, thinking maybe Pd send them a gift. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now，so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches and then go back home.

After I said goodbye and started going back to my jeep, the girl ran to me and handed me a tamale (玉米粽子）for lunch. I thanked them again and walked back to my jeep. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside? My $ 20! I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window. He started shaking his head, smiled, and with what looked like great concentration said in English, "Today you, tomorrow me. ” Then he drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back.

This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.

Since then I’ve helped many people like the Mexican family. I didn’t accept their money. Every time I was able to help，I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.

It is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device，and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet, a big online company can be run by only two guys in their garage. So it is only reasonable then, that people shopping online would be a little leery of the security levels.

Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual shopping off the ground, and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.

Credit card companies, too, quickly saw the potential for online shopping, and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people. If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases, many credit card companies will happily refund your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you. Now that’s buying power!

There are other bonuses for online shoppers, of course. No line－ups, for one. No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.

When shopping online, consumers can sit down, have a coffee, and wear their slippers, not having to worry about their hair or parking, and just clicking through sale after sale. Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies（快遞公司）getting in on the act, you never need to wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.

No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.

1.The underlined word leery means _________.

A. distrustful B. confident

C. hopeful D. disappointed

2.Consumer confidence in online shopping mainly relies on _________.

A. shopping freedom B. shopping convenience

C. Internet access D. Shopping security

3.Which groups of words would the writer use to describe current online shopping?

A. Adventurous, enjoyable, fast, unreal

B. Unsafe, cheap, slow, convenient

C. Safe, convenient, fast, comfortable

D. Reliable, popular, convenient, slow

4.The following companies are thought to have made contributions to the popularity of online shopping EXCEPT ________.

A. Internet companies

B. advertising companies

C. courier companies

D. credit card companies

Most people who move to a foreign country may experience a period of time when they have a lot of stress in the new culture. This feeling is often called “culture shock” and it is important to learn how to deal with culture shock. First of all, you should know that everyone in a new situation will go through some form of culture shock. There are four general stages of cultural adjustment(適應(yīng)).

The first stage is usually referred to as the honeymoon stage. Upon arriving in a new environment, you’ll be interested in the new culture. Everything will seem exciting, and everyone will seem friendly and helpful.

The second stage is called the withdrawal stage. The excitement that you felt before changes to frustration(沮喪) as you find it difficult to deal with new problems. The language is hard to learn; friends are hard to make; simple things like shopping and going to the bank are challenges. It is at this stage that you are likely to feel anxious and homesick.

If you are one of those who manage to stick it out (堅(jiān)持下來), you will enter the third stage---- the recovery stage. At this point, you’ll feel more confident in the new culture. You’ll start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment.

The last stage is the stability stage---- this is the point when people start to feel at home in the new culture. At this stage, you will behave well in the new culture, and prefer some aspects(方面) of the new culture to your own culture.

There is, in a sense, a fifth stage to this process. If you decide to return home after a long period in a new culture, you may experience what is called “reverse culture shock”. This means that you may find aspects of your own culture “foreign”, because you’re so used to the new culture. Reverse culture shock is usually pretty mild(溫和的) and doesn’t last for very long.

1.At the honeymoon stage, people will__________.

A. find the new culture is hard to accept

B. miss their family and friends very much

C. begin to understand what culture shock is

D. have a good impression of the new culture

2.In which stage will people feel most uncomfortable?

A. The honeymoon stage. B. The withdrawal stage.

C. The recovery stage. D. The stability stage.

3.At the stability stage, people usually feel__________.

A. lucky B. relaxed

C. nervous D. disappointed

4.Which of the following opinions does the author agree with?

A. It’s important to know that culture shock is natural.

B. People will suffer less from culture shock in future.

C. Reverse culture shock usually happens in the foreign countries.

D. Reverse culture shock is as difficult to deal with as culture shock.

Cats like climbing trees and there are logical reasons behind this behavior. Interestingly, due to some of their physical features, cats will meet trouble getting down from the trees after climbing up, which may seem unusual.

There are several reasons why cats climb trees, mostly to do with defensive purposes. Cats, as predators(捕食者), like to understand their environment well. As they are small animals, their scope of vision is considerably smaller. Cats often climb trees to get a better view of their surroundings to help them see any potential dangers.

While cats are predators, they are also easy to get attacked from larger animals, such as dogs or even other cats. A tree often provides a safe hiding place. In the wild, cars climb up trees to give them a resting or napping place that is out of predators’ range. It also helps disguise their presence.

Some cats may climb trees for fun, on occasion, or possibly to work on improving their climbing abilities. Small cats frequently test out their claw skills by trying to climb up anything and everything, from bookcases to trees to a person’s leg. Climbing practice is good for cats; it can improve their strength and flexibility and teach them an important defensive skill.

If a cat has gotten up a tree and cannot get down, the owner may wonder why its remarkable climbing abilities only work in one direction. A cat’s claws curve inward, allowing it to grip onto surfaces while going up head first. Unfortunately, this useful climbing curve does nothing to help the animal get back down again.

Eventually, most trapped cats will either jump out of the tree or realize that they can get down by going tail first. Either way, a cat up a tree is usually nothing to worry about; they are intelligent animals and will figure out how to get down sooner or later.

1.According to the text small cats like to climb a person’s leg to______.

A. Show love to the person

B. Test out their claw skills

C. Avoid the attack from the dog

D. Get food from a person’s hand.

2.Why do cats have trouble getting down from a tree?

A. They are afraid of height.

B. They are easy to get lost in a tree.

C. They don’t know how to jump off a tree.

D. Their climbing ability doesn’t help when climbing down.

3.What should you do when you see a cat trapped in a tree?

A. Just let it alone.

B. Lead it down patiently.

C. Teach it the right way to get down.

D. Watch it closely until it comes down.

4.What does this text mainly talk about.

A. Why cats like to climb trees.

B. Why cats can’t climb down a tree.

C. How cats manage to climb down a tree.

D. What owners do to help cats down a tree.
