Last month the manager of a jewelry shop (珠寶店) received a letter. As he was very busy then, the letter lay on his desk till tea-time. He opened it and a 10-pound note(票) fell out onto the desk. Within the note was a letter which said:
Dear sir:
In 1935 I got engaged(訂婚). But unfortunately I lost my job. At the time a lot of people were out of work. Six months later I got a job again, but of course I was very short of money. I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring(婚戒). The assistant took out some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment, and I put one of the rings in my pocket. When she came back, I said I didn’t know the size of my girl’s finger. So I left the shop without buying a ring. My wife died a short while ago and the fact that I never paid for the ring has been heavy in my heart all these years. At that time, the ring cost 2 pounds so I think it is 10 pounds at today’s price and I’m sending 10 pounds.
Yours truly,

We always want to prepare ourselves to the changes we may face when we go to a different country. Well, I have to say that for me, even after living in the US for one year and a half, I am still not used to the changes of weather, or how to manage my money well. There are many things that can give us culture shocks, but it is up to us whether to make it a big shock or a small one.
I know that changing schools was a big thing for me. It helped me to be stronger and open towards meeting new people.  Sometimes it feels like everybody is already in a group. This makes it harder for someone else to go in. But, it is not that hard. Actually many people know that you are from another country. They feel curious about your “history”, and would often think you are a different man.
Another thing that can produce a shock to me is the sudden change of weather. During the last couple of days, there was an ice-snow storm. It was the biggest in 15 years in the state of Missouri. It was raining ice, really, and you could hear sounds outside the window like little pieces of rocks hitting it, of course it was the ice. It started accumulating so heavily that the University had to close down for two days, and it got worse when it started snowing after the ice storm.
As international students, you may at times find something very difficult, but hey, anyone can beat and overcome it to make studying aboard an unforgettable experience.
小題1:The author has been in the US for          .
A．one year
B．one and a half years
C．two years
D．two and a half years
小題2:Changing schools        .
A．was just a small thing for the author
B．made it harder for the author to go into new people’s group
C．helped the author to be stronger and open towards meeting new people
D．made all people think the author was a different man
小題3:The underlined word “accumulating” means       in Chinese.
A．堆積B．融化C．結冰D．移動
小題4:Which of the following is NOT mentioned to be a shock for the author when he studied in the US?
A. The big changes of weather.  
B. B.Managing money.
C.Changing schools.           
D.Difference in language.
小題5:What is the main idea of this article?
A．We may often change school to get used to living in a different country.
B．The author exercised a lot during the ice-snow storm and became stronger.
C．Students form other countries are curious about American history.
D．Studying abroad is cool though there are difficulties.
