21、 Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what are the values which Americans live by. They have never given the matter any thought.
Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States. This has caused me to try to look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors. I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most ( but not all) Americans, and that understanding these values can help you, the international visitor, understand Americans.
It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions-actions which might otherwise appear "strange", "confusing", or "unbelievable" when evaluated from the perspective of the foreigner's own society and its values.
The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter ( meet) an action, or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this booklet.
【1】An ordinary American can't tell you his/her value system because _____.
A. this is something an American lives by
B. everyone will have his/her own value system
C. he/she has never thought about it
D. values are something often in their thought
【2】The author lists 13 values in his booklet to _____.
A. invite foreigners to visit America
B. look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors
C. describe the confusing actions of most Americans
D. help international visitors understand Americans
【3】The underlined word "ingrained" in Line 2, Paragraph 3 most probably means _____.
A. rooted in the minds B. found in the grains
C. planted for food D. prepared with grain
【4】Visitors sometimes find Americans behave in a strange, confusing or unbelievable way, probably because _____.
A. Americans are hard to understand
B. Americans have values which are entirely different from their own
C. they view Americans according to the values in their own society
D. it is difficult to understand any people when you first encounter them

23、Summer is the best season to experience the world's beauty. Here are some of the best destinations that you can't afford to miss in the world.
Maui , Hawaii
Maui is a volcanic island. If you love snorkelling, you must see the rainbow of coral and tropical fishes. Stay the day in the park and witness its wonderful sunsets. The island consists of a few micro-climates and weather varies drastically depending on where you are. The tropical weather can even vary day-to-day with extremes such as sunshine and thunderstorms, so pack accordingly.
Corsica t France
This small island, also called the “isle of beauty”, displays astonishing natural landscapes. Shocking cliffs drop sharply down to clear waters which elsewhere are fringed（带边饰的）with sandy beaches. Plan at least a week in Corsica to discover its secrets!
Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Bora Bora is popular with tourists for its luxurious resorts（度假胜地）. One of the best hotels is the five star Four Seasons hotel. Surrounded by beaches of white sand and blue water protected by a coral reef, it is a really nice place to snorkel and dive. The most impressive sight of the island is in the center of Mount Otemanu where there is a sleeping volcano.
Saint John Island, Caribbean
Life moves at a slower pace on Saint John Island. The National Park covers more than half of the island. With countless bird, dolphin and turtle species to spot, it's no surprise that this is a destination that draws nature lovers. Peace and quietness are abundant, making this an island where relaxation is always on the agenda（议题）.

24、In the beginning, there was the prank (玩笑).
When motion pictures first appeared, movie cameras were used simply to record normal events. They showed things such as workers leaving a factory, or a train entering a station. It wasn’t long before simple stories were created for film. Since the films were extremely short, the story also had to be very short. So, in 1985. Louie Lumiere staged a simple prank. His film, originally titled Le Jardinere, is now commonly referred as L’ Arroseur Arrose, or in English, The Sprinkler Sprinkled. It shows a mail using a hose (软管) to water a garden. A boy enters the frame and steps on the hose, stopping the water flow. When the gardener looks into the hose nose, the boy releases the pressure and the gardener gets a face full of water. The boy laughs, but is immediately caught and spanked.
This creased the first film comedy type. Prank films became the common way to get laughs from an audience during the earliest days of cinema. It is an extremely simple but infinitely flexible method of creating a moment of tension and release. The audience gets to be “in on the joke” watching the situation being set up. The trap is sprung, forming the highest of the event. Usually, the prankster is caught, and spanked, giving closure to the narrative.
Similar stories involved people simply misbehaving and getting their comeuppance. Mr. Flip (The Essanay Film Manufacturing Company, 1909), directed by Gilbert M. Anderson, featured Ben Turpin as a lifeless flirt (打情骂俏). He goes to various shops and offices, trying to touch the cheeks of female workers. In each of the events, he gets punished. The women pokes him in the bottom with scissors, the customers in the bar spray soda water in his face, and the switchboard operator can somehow send electric shocks to the telephone he is using.
A comic strip called Foxy Grandpa by Carl E. Schultze featured an old man with a pair of rascally grandsons. They would try to play tricks on him, but he would always turn the tables on them by using his wits. The strip was developed into a vaudeville (杂耍表演) character played by Joseph Hart, who went on to play the same part in silent films.
It would be a mistakes to think of this as an outdated style of comedy. Prank films are certainly still a hit on YouTube. It is also a useful way to design an animated narrative. The best example would be the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons. Each of the Coyote’s theme is comparable to a prank. He sets up a trap, tries to spring it on the Road Runner, it fails, and he gets the worst of it.
【1】The author believes that The Sprinkler Sprinkled ________.
A．was a record of normal life events
B．created the first sound comedy movie
C．was made in a time of technical limitation
D．was about a gardener making fun of a boy
【2】The underlined word “comeuppance” (In Paragraph 4) most probably means ________.

B．punishment

B．Prank films gradually lose their appeal, giving way to animations.

D．The grandfather in the Foxy Grand pa always falls into his grandson’s tricks.
【4】How is the passage developed?
A．By analyzing statistics.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By giving instructions.
D．By presenting examples.
