It happened when I was about ten. One day my dad came home excited with a big brown box. It was a computer！ We didnt see Dad for the next week. He was so into this computer that he spent all of his time in the basement （地下室） trying to put it together. We would see him when he came up for some food， only to hurry back down there. He looked dazed （頭昏眼花）， as he hadnt seen light for a few days. This was his new project， and he was going to finish it or die trying.

One bright morning as my mum， brother and I were eating breakfast， the basement door suddenly opened and there was the man standing there with a huge smile on his face. “Ive done it！” he shouted.

Mum was about to cry as it was like a family reunion （團聚）. We then followed him down into the basement and happily waited while he turned the big red switch to “on”.

Dad tried to teach us how to use it. It was so complicated especially since he didnt really know how to use it himself.

I was happy to be the first person to use his computer to write a report for my lesson. I spent three days writing it， and finally it was time to print it out. I pushed the button and the screen went blank （空白）！ Then it started flashing and making great noises. I didnt realize that this wasnt normal until I saw smoke coming from the computer. My whole family ran in when they heard me screaming （驚叫） for help.

A boy who lived in an orphanage （孤兒院） often asked the dean （院長） sadly， “No one wants me. Whats the point of living on earth？” The dean always smiled but didnt reply.

One day the dean handed a stone to the boy and said， “Tomorrow morning take this stone to the market for sale， but not for‘true sale. Remember， no matter how much money other people offer， you cannot absolutely sell it.”

The next day the boy squatted （蹲） in one corner of the market. Unexpectedly， many people wanted to buy the stone from him， and the price they offered was higher and higher.

Back to the orphanage， the boy excitedly reported to the dean. The dean smiled and ordered him to go to the gold market tomorrow. In the gold market， some people even offered the price ten times higher than that of yesterday to buy the stone.

Finally， the dean ordered the boy to display the stone in the gem （寶石） market. As a result， the price of the stone rose ten times higher than that of yesterday. Because the stone wasnt sold at any cost， it was spread as a “rare gem”.

Excitedly， the boy went back to the orphanage holding the stone in both hands and reported all this to the dean.

C）閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內容簡要回答下列問題。（共5小題，每小題2分）

I arrived in the UK last weekend. So far I have already made a few friends and had some traditional English food there. But after having three days of hamburgers， sandwiches and potatoes， I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food， especially my favorite—huo guo. You cant imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen， I seemed to smell huo guo in the air.

To my surprise， when I went into the room， I didnt see any sign of huo guo. Where was it？

With many questions in my head， I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with an English girl， I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot. Chinese huo guo is written in two words—hot pot; and hotpot， one word， is a traditional English dish.

Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top are pieces of potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot on a low heat. It takes very little effort to prepare. You can often see it at parties in the UK because its easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.

Hotpot doesnt taste bad. However， I still miss huo guo—hot pot， two words！

31. What was the writer？

32. What did the writer feel when she thought she would have her favorite huo guo？

33. Why is hotpot often prepared for parties？

34. What did the writer learn after the free meal？

35. What is the writers favorite food？

36. 在許多外國人眼里，中國人是世界上最好的主人和最糟糕的客人。Theyre not? really bad guests， but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries， it appears that they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes look rude （粗魯?shù)模?in the eyes of Chinese guests.

In China， guests are almost like gods. 37. Whenever I enter a Chinese persons home， there is always fruit on the table for me， and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west， generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the hosts way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.

My wifes mother， a very kind elderly Chinese lady， doesnt smoke. 38. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house， as a non-smoker， I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly， but I must realize that in China， to be a good host， she must not do that. In most North American homes， if you are a guest， and the hosts are not smokers， you should not smoke in their house. At the very least， you could ask， “Is it OK if I smoke？” But， dont be surprised if they say， “No， you cant smoke.” In our culture， if you smoke in their home， you are a bad guest， but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house， they are not a rude host.

Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese， so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. 39. 然而，在我的國家，給主人送禮物并不總是必要的。So， if you invite international guests to your house， dont be too surprised if they dont bring you a gift.

In China， you probably wont need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host， and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. 40. If western hosts invite you to their house， try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
