It was so cold and snow was falling so heavily that the roads were covered with ice and a strong wind was blowing. Being outside in such weather was very unwise. However, Peter Lee had to walk home from work. Peter walked with difficulty along a country road, the cold wind beating against his chest. He thought, “If I wear my coat backwards, maybe, it will be a little bit warmer for me.” He stopped walking, took off his coat, and put it on backwards. “Thats much better,” he said to himself happily. Walking on through the thickly falling snow, he was thinking about drinking a cup of warm coffee by the burning fireplace. A few minutes later, a car knocked down Peter. The driver hadnt seen him soon enough. When he tried his best to put on the brakes (刹车), the car skidded (打滑) on the icy road. The frightened driver got out of the car and ran to see how the poor man was. After a while, a police car arrived. A policeman went up to see Mr. Lee who was lying on the ground. He told the driver, “Im afraid hes dead.” The driver was so surprised. “This cant be the case, because I hardly touched him. Check my car carefully. Theres not a mark on it.” The policeman said, “Im sure hes dead.” “Its impossible,” the driver said anxiously. “As soon as I hit him, I ran to help him. He was lying on the road, but he was breathing and there was no blood.” “Did you touch him?” the policeman asked. “Yes, but only to turn his head around the right way,” the driver answered. ( )36.

You see, in America, many people often spend their free time sitting on a couch(沙发) watching TV. As there are many channels to choose, the TV can be quite interesting and very addictive(上瘾的). One may sit and watch TV for hour and hour without stop! Well, these people who do nothing all day except watching TV are called couch-potatoes. In America, when one watches TV, he is most often sitting on a couch. While watching TV, most of these people look so frozen that they almost look dead!

CIt was the last day of the final examination in a college. On the steps of a building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam. On their faces was confidence. They knew the exam would be easy. The professor (a teacher at a college) had said they could bring any books or notes during the test. Right after they came into the classroom. The professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it. Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked, “How many of you have completed all five questions?” No hand was raised. “How many of you have answered four?” Still no hands. “Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one.” But the class kept silent. The professor said, “That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering. There are still many things about the subject you dont know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all pass this course, your education has just begun.” The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.

If the students break the rules, they will get punishment, too. On the first day of a new term, 128 students of Morton High School were sent home for wearing the wrong clothes. There are altogether 1,200 students in the school. Usually only 20 students break the school dress rule every day. So the headmaster Theresa Mayerik said it was the worst new term she had ever seen. At Morton High School, students favorite clothing such as baggy（宽大的）trousers, low-necked shirts and tank tops（紧身短背心）are not allowed in classrooms. Some students think they have the right to choose what the clothes they want to wear, but the headmaster doesnt think so. “Id be supportive if half the school was sent home, because 99% will get the message that our school are for education.” “Freedom” does not mean “free of restrictions（约束）”. That is to say there is no total freedom in the world, no matter in the US or in China. ( )51. Many Chinese students think that _. A. American students are very free at schoolB.
