It is not polite to arrive at a dinner party more than 15 to 20 minutes      1           . The host or hostess usually waits for all the guests to arrive before serving the meal. If someone is late, the food may be spoiled, and so might the host or hostess’s spirits. If you have to be late, call and tell them to start  2           you.
It’s even 3   (bad) to be early! The host or hostess will probably not be ready. If you are early, drive or walk around the block a few times, or just sit in your car  4  the right time.
Though it is often important to arrive on time, yet on the other hand, for open houses, the host or hostess invites guests to arrive and leave    5      a certain time. You can arrive at any time within the time he or she gives you.
It’s polite to bring an empty stomach, but it’s even nicer to bring a small present. The present should not cost a lot, or you might embarrass the host or hostess.      6     (flower), wine, or a box of candy will do fine. Never bring money as a present.
In an   7              (introduce), the order of a name is: (1) 、the given name；(2) 、the family name. In other words the given name comes first. It’s important not   8               to learn and remember names, but to respect them often in   9              (converse). After the introduction，we usually call friends   10           their given names. Older people may want you call them their titles and family names, such as “Mr. Jones”、 “Mrs. Johnson” or “Dr. Brown”.

B
After the coming of Europeans to the Americas, Indians were forced to change their way of life.Yet the influence of native American culture is still felt throughout the United States.
Many of the foods commonly eaten in the United States today were first grown by American Indians. Among these foods are corn, wheat and sweet potatoes, peanuts, pumpkins, tomatoes, and certain beans and berries. Native Americans also discovered ways to use herbs and other plants as medicines.
Native American inventions, such as canoes, ponchos and parkas(風(fēng)雪衣), hammocks (吊床) and snowshoes are still in use today. Other marks of Indian culture were left in American place names. The state of Alaska, for example, takes its name from a native American word meaning “great land”.
Today nearly 1.5 million native Americans live in the United States. Some still preserve the ways of their ancestors, speaking Indian languages and keeping alive their legends,art forms, and customs. Other native Americans keep few of the old ways, but remain proud of their  people’s contributions to American history.Americans have come to appreciate the beauty of Indian crafts(工藝). Many artists find inspiration in traditional Indian designs. Many Indian values, too, have become widely held.Americans today believe that the land, air and water are precious resources (資源) that must be carefully protected. As one government official wrote recently:
We have slowly come back to some of the truths that the Indians knew from the beginning. People need to learn from nature, to keep an ear to the earth, and to refill their spirits in frequent contact with animals and wild land.
60. What does “native Americans” refer to in the passage?
A. Europeans settling in the Americas.             B. People born and living in America.

By air, land and sea, we are facing an onslaught of noise that is threatening our ability to live in this world. We have granted ourselves the right to make noise. But what about our responsibilities? Have we developed a sense of acoustic responsibility?
The evidence suggests that we have not. Many people seem to believe they have an unlimited right to make noise with cars and motorbikes, and with loud music at home and in the street. In some countries measures have been taken to force people to make less noise. In Britain, for example, a law has been passed preventing people from disturbing their neighbors with music at night.
It is widely accepted that we should deal with our rubbish in a responsible way Noise is in reality a particularly insidious form of rubbish. It destroys community life, pursues us into our homes, keeps us from sleeping and is the cause of many stress-related illnesses, as well as hearing loss. Our acoustic environment belongs to all of us. Everyone has the right to use it, but no one has the right to abuse it. Let’s start using it responsibly.
