In China it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the West this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true 【B1】 women, and even more 【B2】 if the inquirer is a man.
However, it is very 【B3】 to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind 【B4】 either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 【B5】 their age, especially if they feel they look young 【B6】 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 【B7】 question like "How old are you". If elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 【B8】 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 【B9】 how old they are. 【B10】 such a question, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 【B11】. They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 【B12】 that they look very old!
【B13】 Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 【B14】 that they are not interested to know how old other people are. They may ask someone else 【B15】 the information, 【B16】 they may try to 【B17】 the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 【B18】 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 【B19】, but this is not always the 【B20】.

Passage Three:Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness, if fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (承担的义务), self-improvement.
Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
第31题：According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________.
A) he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
B) he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
C) he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
D) he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may begenerous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
1.The writer of this passage must be a Chinese.()
2. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.()
3.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be warmly welcomed at the airport.()
4.The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean willing to spend time.
5.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships”.()
