People who like traveling have their reasons. They believe that traveling can help them expand their field of view，especially in the geographical and historical sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. But those who dislike traveling also have some reasons.

Traveling, in my opinion, does more good than harm. Most importantly, it broadens(使扩大)our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations(文明)，cultures，customs and ideas.

Through history，most people traveled because of necessity(必要性)－not for pleasure. People traveled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for fun of it. In ancient times，for example，rich Romans traveled all the ways to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games，and festivals. Of course，some people decided to travel just out of curiosity(好奇心).They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon(地平线).Also business travel has been going on for centuries. Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.

So，traveling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it.

Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth(财富),” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.

If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.

The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.

Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.

An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.

He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.

A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.

“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

25. The writer thinks that .

C. if the patient doesn’t take medicine

It is common to consider learning as something that takes place in school，but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom，even from birth and people continue to learn throughout their lives.

Even before they enter school，young children learn to walk，to talk and to use their hands to use toys，food，and other objects.They use all of their senses to learn about the sights，sounds，tastes and smells in their environments.They learn how to communicate with their parents，grandparents，siblings，friends and other people important to their world.When they enter school，children learn basic academic subjects such as reading，writing and mathematics.They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom.They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished.They learn social skills for communicating with other children.After they finish school，people must learn to deal with the many major changes that affect their lives，such as getting married，raising children，and finding and keeping a job.

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do，the study of learning is important in many different fields.Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children.Psychologists，social workers，criminologists，and other human－service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors.Employers，politicians，and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to affect the behavior of workers，voters，and consumers.

Learning is closely related to memory，which is the storage of information in the brain.Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge，where this storage takes place，and how the brain later outputs knowledge when we need it.In contrast，psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences.

In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.

At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap (水龙头)water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill(重续).

Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.

Serving in restaurants is often large; too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself.

Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.

34.What is served before you order?

A. Cold water. B. Butter. C. Coffee. D. Bread.

35. What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?

A. They take the food home with a doggie bag for their dogs.

B. They leave the food on the table and go away.

C. They take the food home with a doggie bag and enjoy the food later.

D. They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for them.
