24、There was a young man named Bill in England. Before leaving school, he began to look for a job. Few companies needed new clerks due to the financial crisis (金融危机) at that time. It became harder and harder to find a job. Luckily, a chance came up to him. A company wanted to employ one person. He and the other twenty people joined in the first interview. After that, three persons were allowed to enter the final test which would decide one person to be employed in the end. Bill was lucky to be among them. On the day of the second interview, Bill and the others arrived at the company on time. To their surprise, the interview was very easy. The interviewer only had a free talk with them, and then asked them to go back home waiting for the result. The next morning, Bill received a letter from the company which said he wasn’t accepted. Certainly, he felt disappointed. On the evening of that day, Bill surprisingly received another letter, which said he was employed. But why was he accepted? As a matter of fact, the first letter sent to Bill was also part of the test. Every one of them got a letter which had the same meaning that morning. Only Bill replied with “ thank you “ while the others said nothing.

Life isn’t all fun. There is always something making us unhappy. When you feel disappointed, please say “Thank you” to the person who disappoints you. That shows your great generosity（宽容） and politeness to others. If you do so, you’ll have more chances than others.

根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）误(F)。

【1】Bill was a student during the financial crisis.

【2】Twenty people wanted to get the job.

【3】Bill felt amazed when he received the second letter.

【4】All the three people were employed by the company.

28、根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词）

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, but disappear soon if situations change. Neither side gets h【1】 by this. They may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while - then no m【2】. 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 u【3】, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending（延伸）sometimes deeply into b【4】 families.

Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that a【5】 they treat 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 be g【6】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 g【7】 to show our best friends around. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine（事务）. They will be likely to expect us to get ourselves from the a【8】 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 o【9】 treated hospitably.

For the Americans, it is more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to r【10】, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality（好客）at home!
