The following special places are important to Americans who look to the past, but also are thinking of the future. New Orleans Streetcars Many American cities once had streetcars, but not anymore. Yet streetcars have been running in New Orleans for over 150 years. The Saint Charles Avenue streetcar is said to be the oldest continuously-operating streetcar in the world. Many residents have been riding the streetcars ever since they started high school. Most of them think it's a piece of history. They have these old cars, and they respect them, and they keep them running. Historic Houses Historic homes can interest people seeking to connect with the former occupants. A typical one is a very simple, white house in Virginia. This small house in Winchester, Virginia, opened its doors to the public in August. It was home to the singer Patsy Cline, who died at the age of 30. Babe Ruth is considered one of the greatest baseball players in history. He was born in a house in Baltimore, Maryland. With his house visitors are given plenty of opportunities to touch where Babe Ruth walked around. Havre de Grace Years ago, Americans used decoys(假鸟) to hunt ducks and other waterbirds. Those days are gone. But collecting artful decoys is now popular. Havre de Grace is a town in the American state of Maryland, one part of which is famous for its wildlife. Captain Jobes is one of the top decoy carvers in Havre de Grace. Hunters use decoys to get ducks and geese to come close enough to shoot. The wooden birds are so highly respected here that Havre de Grace calls itself the decoy capital of the world. It also has a museum with more than 1,000 decoys. Most were hand made. 21. Which is the ideal place to know about Babe Ruth ? A. New Orleans. B. Baltimore. C. Havre de Grace. D. Virginia. 22. What is famous in Havre de Grace? A. Streetcars. B. Historic houses. C. Baseball. D. Decoys. 23. What do the objects mentioned in the text have in common? A. They remind people of the past. B. They have gone out of use. C. They concern great people. D. They are related to the future. B As I look up at the hundreds of fireworks in the sky, I hear the bells ringing in a small temple signifying the coming of the Chinese New Year. Though I may not believe in or understand many of the New Year traditions here, the similarities between the coming of this New Year and the beginning of my new life in China are not lost on me. My first few days in China were a culture shock to say the least. Having arrived late in the semester, I immediately had to begin my beginners’ Chinese classes, along with the newest class of overseas students. Being surrounded by a language that is not your own is unbelievably frustrating and isolating. Due to the picture-based fashion of Chinese writing, it’s not like you can have a guess, or work it out through whatever little knowledge you have of other Latin-originated languages. If you don’t know what it says, then that’s it. However, with time passing, I have found myself progressing, though painfully slowly. The first time I direct a taxi by myself, the driver actually understands where I want to go, which is hugely rewarding. Still, it is never long until my sheer lack of language skill is exposed (暴露)and I come crashing back to earth, usually immediately upon leaving the taxi. Gaining a language is a hugely valuable skill. However, it is not the only thing I will gain in China. After this year of learning Chinese, I aim to gain my Master’s degree here at UJN. Opportunities do just pop up rather occasionally: from being offered jobs teaching English, to being asked to appear on game- shows for Shandong TV. So, for now, I am just looking forward to expanding my cultural horizons and enjoying my time here. Everything takes some time getting used to, but that’s part of the adventure and, most of all, the enjoyment. So, much like the Chinese New Year that I was lucky enough to be part of, I am just looking forward to a fresh start and a new journey in China. 24. Why couldn’t the author guess the meaning of the Chinese language? A. Because of his late arrival. B. Because of his experience of culture shock. C. Because of the unique way of Chinese writing. D. Because of his knowing little of the Latin language. 25. What does the author want to show through his taxi experience? A. He is pleased to have made progress in Chinese. B. He is good at chatting with the taxi driver. C. He finds it easy to order a taxi in China. D. He is poor at using public transport. 26. What is the author’s present expectation? A. To be a teaching assistant. B. To settle down in China. C. To participate in more cultural activities. D. To become a host on TV. 27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Studying in China: challenging but rewarding. B. Coming to China: more opportunities awaiting. C. Acquiring Chinese: valuable skills needed. D. Learning Chinese: adventurous but enjoyable. C If you are a fruit grower — or would like to become one — take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around B
