JOHN: Have you had a chance to look over the contract？
LORRIE: Yes．I've read it carefully.
JOHN: And do you have any questions？
LORRIE: No．But the contract stipulates that I will teach 22 hours a week．Will you have that many classes for me right away？
JOHN: No, probably not．For the first two weeks you may teach 10 or 15 hours.
LORRIE : But my salary will be 1 100 dollars a month．Will you pay me that much for the first month？ Because, I mean, I won't be working so many hours.
JOHN: I understand．That's why I didn't write the date on the contract．For the first two weeks, we will pay you according to the hours you teach．When you have 22 hours of classes, then the contract will take effect．Is that alright with you？
LORRIE: Oh, so I don't sign the contract today．Is that right？
JOHN: I don't want you to misunderstand, Miss Briggs．We are very serious about hiring you．We want you to teach for us．We usually do contracts this way because it is more convenient.
LORRIE: I can accept that.
JOHN: Good．And your benefits will begin immediately.
LORRIE: Even my health insurance？
JOHN: Yes．We will apply for your health insurance tomorrow．And your free membership in the club starts today if you like.
LORRIE: I have a few questions about the free membership.
JOHN: What would you like to know？
LORRIE : Is my membership the same as paying club members？ I mean, can I get discounts at club hotels？
JOHN: Absolutely．The only difference is in the restaurant and bar vouchers.
LORRIE: What are bar vouchers？
JOHN: Paying club members get around 300 dollars a year in restaurant vouchers．The vouchers can be used in the restaurant or the lounge．But we don't offer vouchers to employees.
LORRIE: But according to the contract, employees get a discount in the restaurant.
JOHN: That's fight．So in a way, it is cheaper for you than for the members．You get more benefits than they do.
LORRIE: So, for now, you want me to keep a copy of the contract．But we won't sign it yet．Is that right？
JOHN: Yes．I've prepared the contract just so that you understand everything, so that you understand the terms.
LORRIE: I understand．And according to the terms on the contract, I am happy to accept this job．I look forward to it.
JOHN: I'm very pleased．We look forward to having you here, Miss Briggs.

Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change, people always seem to be on the go. In this highly charged atmosphere, Americans can sometimes seem brusque or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, early on, they will ask you questions that you may feel are very personal. No insult is intended; the questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for you. If you do not understand certain American behavior. or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask them questions about themselves. Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything "American" in which you may be interested. So much so in fact that you may become tired of listening. It doesn't matter, because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for example, than deal with silence.
On the other hand, don't expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States. Because the United States is not surrounded by many other nations, some Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world.
The general topic of the passage is______.
A．American culture
B．American society
C．Americans' activities
D．Americans' personality
A．obscure
B．wrong
C．confusing
D．clear

During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you ' re "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this it so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语) as; "Get up, John ! You will be late for work again! "The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you' re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you' ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably______.
A．he is a lazy person
B．he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
C．he is not sure when his energy is low
D．he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening

a) When you have stepped off the pavement on to a zebra crossing, traffic must stop to let you cross. But don't be foolish: make sure that drivers have enough time to give way to you.

c) At a crossing with traffic lights, do not cross in front of traffic which has the signal to go.Ⅱ. At a bus or tram stop:
If you want to get on a bus or a tram' give a clear signal for it to stop and do not step into the road until it has done so. When you get off a bus or a tram and wish to cross to the opposite side of the road, do not walk behind the vehicle. Wait until the vehicle has moved off and make sure there is no other traffic before you cross the road
According to the passage, at a pedestrian crossing you should not ______.
A．expect cars to stop for you
B．cross without giving the driver enough time to stop
C．step off the pavement
D．expect drivers to give you enough time to cross
