Mr and Mrs Smith have just opened a small restaurant. In order to attract customers（吸引顾客）, they put a notice in front of the restaurant, which said “ Meals on the House for Three Days.”
A foreign student who didn’t know much English happened to pass by the restaurant on the second day. It was lunch time and he felt very hungry. “Well, here is a restaurant. I am going to have something to eat.” He walked towards the restaurant when he saw the notice. “ American people are really strange. They even eat dinners on the house! But how can I get up to the top of the house?” he said to himself.
He looked around and found a ladder（梯子） against a tree nearby. He was very glad. But as he reached the top he heard someone shouting at him. “ Hey, what are you doing up there?” Mr Smith was looking at him angrily and beside him was a policeman.
“ Don’t your notice say “ Meals on the House for Three Days”? Is it just a joke?” the foreign student answered.
On hearing this, both Mr Smith and the policeman laughed. “ Don’t you know what ON THE HOUSE means? Look it up in the dictionary,” the policeman said.The story happened in __________________.

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear* soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship .This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending* deeply into both families.
There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat* friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it needs a great deal of time. But in China ,we are usually generous* with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America ,Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full ,warm and real.
For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality* at home and enjoy your visit in America!

Life is important. You should always have fun and new experiences, because you never know what day will be your last. You shouldn’t hold anger. You never know what could happen next. I learned all this at the age of nine.
It was the summer before fifth grade. My best friend Nessa and I were playing. We got angry with each other and had a fight. My older cousin, Tiffany, broke up our fight. I remember Nessa storming out of my grandmother’s house, saying, “I hope we never speak again!”
I replied, “Good, I don’t need you as a friend!”
I went into the house and tried to be quiet. Then I heard people shouting outside. My cousin rushed in. She said that Nessa had been hit by a street truck as she crossed the road. The driver didn’t see her. I felt sad. I wished it had been me instead. It could have been avoided* if we hadn’t had that fight!
When the ambulance* arrived a few minutes later, they said she was dead. I was a real mess. I had to see a psychologist* for the rest of the summer.
I miss Nessa so much and I think of her always. She taught me how valuable* and important life is and that you should never hold anger because you never know when you’ll see that person again.
