21、   During my first two weeks at the University of California, Berkeley, I experienced some unexpected, funny, and sometimes embarrassing situations. Allow me to share some with you.

But first, let me give advice to other foreign students who plan to study in the United States. Check the weather before coming! I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris. It was a huge mistake! It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkeley.

I have to say that I quickly forgot these unlucky events. Life in Berkeley is very pleasant and everything is so easy compared to Paris. For example, in only 24 hours I bought a mobile phone and rent a flat. What’s more, almost all the shops are open on Sunday.

The first thing that surprised me is that students may come late to class. They freely enter and leave the classroom many times during class. In France, students respect the teacher’s lesson, so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class.

The local people in California are in general very nice, open and active. However, I am not totally used to their habits yet. Indeed, I was used to shaking my friends’ hands every day in France. During my second day at Berkeley, I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me “I think we already met!”

I live a great experience at present, and I would just encourage any student to become a member in a program at UC, Berkeley.

【1】The writer comes from ______.

A.Japan B.China C.England D.France

【2】The writer made a huge mistake because ______.

A.he didn’t check the weather before coming

B.the weather in California was changeable

C.he brought a lot of clothes with him

D.he didn’t take a mobile phone

【3】When the writer’s classmate said “I think we already met!”, he meant .

A.they were old friends

B.Americans needn’t shake hands when they meet again

C.he was not used to shaking hands with others

D.the writer might forget about their last meeting

【4】We can learn that ________ according to the passage.

A.California was sunny all year around

B.students in America are never late for class

C.life in Berkeley is enjoyable for the writer

D.people in California are not so friendly

【5】According to the passage, the writer mainly wants to tell us ______.

A.his experience at UC, Berkeley B.the relationship between classmates

C.his advice on studying abroad D.the difference in attending a class

22、   Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother’s Camp(营地). There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone.

At Mother’s Camp a woman has room for herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask, ＂Mom, what’s for dinner?＂ No husband will say, ＂Oh, dear, I can’t find any clean socks.＂ In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home for a second job — taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.

In the United States, working wives do about 75% of the housework. Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can’t find the pans. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves.

Some women go to Mother’s Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don’t cook, they don’t clean and they don’t look after their children and husbands. What do they do? They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and sing songs around the campfire. They relax away from home. They have a really wonderful vacation at Mother’s Camp.

【1】From this passage we can see _________ in the United States.

A. women want to work outside the home

B. working wives do most of the housework
