Where I’m from, we’re pretty relaxed about time. We don’t like to rush around, so we don’t mind if people are a little late sometimes. If you tell a friend you’re going to their house for dinner, it’s OK if you arrive a bit late. 1.______________________________________(我们喜欢慢慢享受我们的时间)。2. We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives. We often just drop our friends’ homes if we have time. We don’t usually have to make plans to meet our friends. When we see each other, it’s polite for boys to shake hands and for girls to kiss each other on the side of the face. We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!
In Svitzerland3._________________________________(守时是很重要的)。We are the capital of clocks and watches after all! 4. If someone invites you to meet him or her at noon, then you’re expected to be there at noon. If you’re even 15 minutes late, your friends may get mad. So I make an effort to be on time when I meet my friends. 5. I always leave the house early to avoid heavy traffic because I think it’s impolite to keep others waiting. Also, we never visit a friend’s house without calling first. We almost always make plans to see friends. We usually plan to do something interesting, or go somewhere together.

26、
Chris is not a traditional explorer (探险者)-he usually works in an office for a large organization. Yet his job can sometimes be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.
Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as Doctors Without Borders (国界). MSF sends trained doctors all over the world to help people after a war or a disaster. Chris is a doctor from France who has travelled to many places to organize programs that help people.
At the moment, there are 27,000 trained medical staff taking part in MSF projects and tasks. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be prepared to go almost anywhere in the world and of course, they should expect difficult conditions. Doctors with experience in tropical diseases (热带疾病) are especially useful because most of MSF’s work is in Africa. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task, he has to go for at least six months. When doctors completed a few tasks, they might be sent on an emergency (紧急的) task following a disaster such as tropical storm, tsunami (海啸), and so on.
But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life and job to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience you get is a great help in your lifelong job. Besides, just like the explorers of the past, you need to keep an open mind and learn to mix well with the people you meet.
Most importantly, at the end of each task, you have made a real difference to people’s lives.
【1】Which of the following is NOT right about MSF?
A.It’s a large organization.
B.Working for MSF can be exciting and dangerous.
C.MSF is also called Doctors Without Borders.
D.Any doctor can be sent by MSF to help people.
【2】When does MSF send doctors to help people all over the world?
A.After a war or a disaster.
B.After the Nobel Peace Prize.
C.Before doctors travel to many places.
D.When doctors take part in the programs.
【3】The underlined word disaster can more possibly be________.
A.a rain
B.a snow
C.an earthquake
D.wind
【4】What kind of doctors are greatly needed in Africa?
A.Doctors who have experience in tropical diseases.
B.Different kinds of doctors who have completed a few tasks.
C.Doctors who are sent on an emergency task.
D.Doctors who can leave home and work for at least half a year.
【5】Why does Chris think his work is important to other people?
A.He can get on well with people who he works with.
B.He can keep an open mind while working.
C.He can get experience to improve his lifelong job.
D.He can make a real difference to people’s lives.
27、Now, it may be difficult to predict(预言) the future, but many people believe that we will live on Mars by the year 2100. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Well, what problems will we need to solve before we prepare to go to Mars?
First of all, transport should be much better. At present, humans need to spend months going to Mars by spaceship. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get there!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food, water and air that we need. However, there is no answer for all the problems now.
There is also a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars attracts us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space there. We will have to wear special shoes to make ourselves heavier.
In some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same — meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will probably make many people feel very uncomfortable.
【1】According to the passage, by the year 2100, we will possibly live_____.
A. on Mars B. on the moon
C. in the spaceship D. in the sea
【2】So far, how long does it take us from the earth to Mars by spaceship?
A. Two or three days. B. A few days.
C. A few months. D. A few years.
【3】According to the passage, which of the following is wrong?
A. A special plant which can produce water, air and food should be needed on Mars.
B. We may go to Mars when transport is much better and faster.
C. We can jump higher on Mars than on the earth.
D. Food on Mars will be much better to eat.
【4】We will have to wear special shoes to _____ if we want to live on Mars.
A. make ourselves lighter B. walk faster
C. make ourselves heavier D. jump higher
【5】Why do we want to live on Mars?
A. Life on Mars is more interesting than that on the earth.
B. The earth is becoming dirty and crowded.
C. The journey to Mars is very interesting.
D. The scientists want us to do that.

As a result, people now in the world 【9】 (be) still 【10】 (use) the paper which is made by the way that Cai Lun began to use.
