Will you trust your friends if you can’t see anything? If you are falling, do you believe they will catch you and help you stand up? Our teacher helped us to get the answer.
One day, Mr. Morrie came into the classroom and said he had a game for us to try. He divided us into two groups. One student from the first group, stood in front of us with his eyes closed, and then fell backwards(向后地). The second group stood behind him. Before he fell on the floor, they should catch him and not let him get hurt. Most of us were uncomfortable with this. We were afraid that they wouldn’t catch us and we would hit the floor. So we didn’t move. We just stood there and laughed in embarrassment.
Finally, one student, a thin, quiet, dark-haired girl called Sarah, decided to move. She crossed her arms in front of her body, closed her eyes, and slowly fell backwards. She looked quiet but brave.
For a moment, I was sure that she was going to fall on the floor. But before she hit the floor, the other students caught her, held her and finally helped her stand up.
“Whoa!!” We were all surprised, and also encouraged(受鼓舞的). The girl was happy, too. Seeing this, Morrie smiled and said to the girl, “When you close your eyes, you can’t see anything. You won’t feel safe. When you are falling, the feeling gets stronger. You are not sure whether you will hit the cold, hard floor or the warm, soft hands of your friends. But if you are brave enough to trust them, they will not let you down(使人失望).” What is Morrie?

Do you have any foreign friends? Do you know their characteristics(特征)?
The Germans are very quiet and they always keep calm. They don’t like to speak more words. They look very serious. They like different kinds of amusements. The Germans are very hard—working. They like tidiness, especially the women, who always keep their home clean.
In some ways, the Englishmen look the same as the Germans. They are very quiet and never talk too much with the strangers. They are really polite, so we often hear they say “Thank you.” Or “Sorry.” The gentlemen are also the Englishmen.
The French’s holidays are very long. They like traveling and usually spend their long time staying in other countries. The Frenchmen are more outgoing than the Germans. It is very easy to make friends with them.
Compared to the Frenchmen, the Americans are more outgoing. And they are even opener than all of the Europeans. They don’t like to depend on others.

One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.
1.” What’s the matter?” “I went to a party last night, so I…”
2.”I feel so tired these days.” “I think you’d better…”
3.”Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”
You can see from the above three examples that the context helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.This passage tells us mainly about ________.
| A．the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign language. |
| B．how to guess what one is going to talk about. |
| C．Some examples of right guessing. |
| D．how important it is to guess all the time. |

| A．…so I didn’t have a good time.” |
| B．…so I went to bed very late.” |
| C．…so I felt unhappy.” |
| D．…so I got up very early.” |
Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.
| A．“I think you’d better have a good rest and take good care of yourself.” |
| B．“I think you’d better have something to drink.” |
| C．“I think you’d better get some help from your friends.” |
| D．“I think you’d better to be more careful.” |
