I thought the whole building was on fire. I said to God quietly, "Just get me out of here. I'll never be bad again."

It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But haven't you learned to read at your school?" He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said:

Mr. Jones opened a shop in Aston to sell writing-paper, pencils and things like that. During the first month, very few people visited his shop. He sold little, and he could see that he was going to lose money.
One night,Mr.Jones sat bay the fire and was worried after another very bad day. Suddenly he got an idea. He found a piece of wood and wrote to the following notice on it in big letters:
“WHAT DO YOU THINK I GIVE AWAY PENCILS AND PAPER AND INK”
He put up the notice in front of the shop window before he went to bed. He slept better than usual that night.
The following day, many people came to the shop. Mr. Jones said good morning to them all with a bright smile and asked the first woman what she wanted.
She chose some writing paper and a pencil. As soon as he put them on her hands, she turned to leave the shop.
“That will be thirty cents(美分），please,” he said.
“Why?” she asked in surprise.
“That’s the price of the paper and the pencil.”
“But your notice says it’s free,” she replied.
“Oh no,” he said, “how can I make any money if everything is free?”
She took him outside and showed him the notice “It is wrong,too,”she said. “where is the question mark after the word ‘think’?”
“There isn’t a question mark,”he said.
“But there should be one .”
“I’m afraid you’ve made a mistake,” Mr.Jones said.“You have read my notice in the wrong way.”
“Not at all,” said the woman. “It is quite easy to read. It says: What do you think? I give away pencils and paper and ink!”
“No,” Mr.Jones said. “You should read it like this:_____ And the answer to the question is: Certainly not! So you really have to pay me thirty cents, you see.”

D
America is a mobile society. Friendship between Americans can be close and real, but disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. 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 understand(理解）, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸)sometimes deeply into both families．
　　There is another difficult point for us ti understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it needs a lot of time．This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time．But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts(主人), will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends．It is opposite in America. Americans cannot spend the time doing a lot with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect(期待) the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels and phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
　　For the Americans, it is often considered(认为) more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters．Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality(好客） at home and enjoy your visit in America!

54. The underlined phrased “disappear” in Paragraph 1 may mean “______”.
A.消失 B.出现 C. 不喜欢 D.冷淡
55. Which of the following is the typical(典型的) way of American hospitality?
A. Treating friends at home B. Taking days off to be with friends
C, Meeting friends at the airport at midnight. D. Sharing everything they have.
56. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Americans are always generous with their time.
B. Americans don’t feel hurt if their friendship disappear soon.
C. Chinese friendship develop more slowly but will never disappear.
D. Chinese friendships are more sincere(真诚的) than American friendships.
57. This passage is most probably written for _____.
A.American students B. Chinese students
C. Chinese visitors to America D. American visitors to China

If you think you are too shy and want to be a little braver, just try the following things:
Be open to others. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable in talks.
Try to smile more. When you smile , people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too; and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.
Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Get your attention(注意) elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your look or whether people like you or not. You will become relaxed and find it’s not so hard to talk with others.
Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “Hi!” or smile at someone, say to yourself “You can make it.” Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk to others.
