When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and

10、 culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States. I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the

11、food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive Ame

12、ricans are and how they dislike the description old. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife.

13、f being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think growing old is a pro

14、blem since old shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly,

15、 they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didnt want to hear. After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I dont respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I dont show my feelings through wo

The leaders of Detroits struggling Big Three automakers are appearing before the Senate today, where prospects of ￥25 billion in emergency loans to the industry appear to be stall

22、ing. Amid GOP cries of corporate welfare, Senate Majority Leader Reid introduced a bill yesterday to let the automakers and component suppliers tap into some of the money Congress allotted in the ￥700 billion financial bailout. Reid, launching a lame-duck session, warned of a potential meltdown in t

23、he industry with devastating consequences. He said 355,000 people are employed by the industry and 4.5 million more work in related industries. An additional 1 million people, retirees and their relatives, are covered by retirement and medical plants within the industry, he said. The Big Three-Gener

24、al Motors, Ford, and Chrysler-have been whipsawed by the faltering economy and credit crunch. But the odds do not look good for Detroit. At the heart of the debate is whether automakers are deserving -as a linchpin of the U.S. economy -or are, in the words of one high-profile critic, Republican Sen.

25、 Richard Shelby of Alabama, an innovation-averse dinosaur. Shelby, appearing Sunday on Meet the Press, said Get rid of the management. Get rid of the boards-the people who brought them to where they are today. This is a dead end. Its a road to nowhere, and its a big burden on the American taxpayer.

26、Republicans attacked the measure on several fronts. Some questioned the rush to judgment, others warned that other industries would soon line up for help. And some charged that the firms brought on their troubles by agreeing to union contracts with wages and benefits costing an average of ￥73 an hou

27、r, compared with ￥28 an hour for the average private firm. GOP Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania said the ￥700 billion rescue was the No. 1 issued when he toured the state recently. Candidly, the temperature of my constituents was boiling, 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and the thermometer was broken, he

28、said. Someopponents prefer that the automakers pursue Chapter 11 reorganizations instead of hitting up Uncle Sam. Democrats argue that the ￥25 billion is only 4 percent of the bigger bailout. Reids spokesman, Jim Manley, said the bill has robust language on corporate oversight, taxpayer protections,

29、 and executive compensation limits. A compromise could be struck if Democrats bowed to GOP pressure and, instead of new loans, rewrote the rules for ￥25 billion in loans granted to automakers to help them retool factories to build fuel-efficient vehicles. Its mind boggling, one Republican said of De

30、mocrats intransigence. If I were them, Id want to get this off my plate before Obama becomes president. The automotive executives, Alan Mulatly, Fords president and CEO, RobertNardelli, Chrysler s chairman and CEO, and Rick Wagoner, GM s chairman and CEO, are to appear before the Senate Banking Comm

31、ittee. Shelby is the top Republican on the panel. The post-election lame-duck session is the last chance to sign off on the measure during this Congress. The bill probably can pass the House, but prospects are iffy in the Senate, where Democrats need 60 votes to block an expected filibuster. If noth

32、ing passes, it could be taken up in January by the next Congress, which will have a broader Democratic majority. (1).Harry Reid proposed a bill for the automakers because( ).

36、reement in the face of Republican pressureB.Senator Reid should send the bill after Obama becomes presidentC. ￥25 billion in loans should be solely used for updating factoriesD.The chance of passing the bill in January would be greater than now 【解析】 If nothing passes ，it could be taken up in January

A.the gloomy prospects of passing Reid s bill on saving the auto industryB.the possibility of a compromise between two parties on bailing out auto industryC.the

38、correlation between sescuing auto industry and two parties stance D.the great difference between Democrats and Republics on rescuing in the Big Three【解析】讲给三大汽车制造业的政府注资扶持，共和党反对，民主党支持，所以答案是C。D. In the late 1960s, many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems, and new st

39、eel-and-glass skyscrapers were widely criticized. Ecologists pointed out that a cluster of tall buildings in a city often overburdens public transportation and parking lot capacities. Skyscrapers are also lavish consumers, and wasters, of electric power. In one recent year, the addition of 17 millio

40、n square feet of skyscraper office space in New York City raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120,000 kilowatts enough to supply the entire city of Albany, New York, for a day. Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful. The heat loss(or gain)through a wall of half-inch plate gl

41、ass is more than ten times that through a typical masonry wall filled with insulation board. To lessen the strain on heating and air-conditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed panels of glass, and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that re

42、duce glare as well as heat gain. However, mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings. Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a city s sanitation facilities, too. If fully occupied, the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alone

43、 generate 2.25 million gallons of raw sewage each year as much as a city the size of Stamford, Connecticut, which hasa population of more than 109,000. Skyscrapers also interfere with television reception, block bird flyways, and obstruct air traffic. In Boston in the late 1960s, some people even fe

44、ared that shadows from skyscrapers would kill the grass on Boston Common.
