2.Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well. Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to “push back”, just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?” Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.1.Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______.A、 America is a highly developed countryB、 American city people seem to be always in a rushC、 the fast pace in American life often causes much troubleD、 Americans are impatient and unfriendly people2.When the author says “You will miss smile”, he means ___________.A、 you will fail to notice that Americans are pleasant and happyB、 you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at youC、 you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendlyD、 you will find that Americans don't have much sense of humor3.In the author’s opinion, ___________.A、 it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other cityB、 people living outside big cities are lazy and miserableC、 most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big citiesD、 those who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly4.The life pace in cities is much ___________ than the one outside cities.A、 fasterB、 slowerC、 happierD、 sadder5.If you say to an American that you are a stranger there, most probably he will _________.A、 offer his helpB、 stop smiling at youC、 help you find the wayD、 reply that he is pleased to meet you

Blacks Hard-hit by CancerDeath rates for cancer are falling for all Americans,but black Americans are still more likely to die of cancer than whites,the American Cancer Society said Monday.In a special report on cancer and blacks,the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer later than whites,and they are more likely to die of the disease.This could be because of unequal(不平等的)access to medical care, because blacks are more likely to have other diseases as well,and perhaps because of differences in the biology(生物学)of the cancer itself, the report added."In general,black Americans have less hope of surviving five years after diagnosis than whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis,"the report said,"In describing cancer statistics for black Americans,this report recognizes that many of the differences associated with race may be caused by unfair social and economic differences and unequal access to medical care."The cancer society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-ups(体格检查) earlier,when cancer is more treatable,and it said more research is needed to see if biological differences play a role."The new statistics emphasize the continuing importance of wiping out these unfair social differences through public policy and education efforts,"the organization said in a statement.But it also noted a drop in cancer death rates."Cancer death rates in both sexes for all sites combined have dropped greatly among black Americans since 1992,as have incidence rates(发生率),"said the report.

4.Text 4 It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional Small wonder. Americans' life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century. Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a 30-minuts surgical procedure. Such advances offer the aging population a quality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago. But not even a great health-care system can cure death-and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours. Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate and perish, even under ideal conditions. We all understand that at some level, yet as medical consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved. Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our care, we demand everything that can possibly be done for us, even if it's useless. The most obvious example is late-stage cancer care. Physicians-frustrated by their inability to cure the disease and fearing loss of hope in the patient-too often offer aggressive treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified.In1950, the U.S. spent .7 billion on health care. In 2002, the cost will be billion. Anyone can see this trend is unsustainable. Yet few seem willing to try to reverse it. Some scholars conclude that a government with finite resources should simply stop paying for medical care that sustains life beyond a certain age-----say 83 or so. Former Colorado governor Richard Lamm has been quoted as saying that the old and infirm“have a duty todie and get out of the way”,so that younger, healthier people can realize their potential.I would not go that far. Energetic people now routinely work through their 60s and beyond, and remain dazzlingly productive. At 78,Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone jokingly claims to be 53.Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is in her 70s,and former surgeon general C.Everett Koop chairs an Internet start-up in his 80s.These leaders are living proof that prevention works and that we can manage the health problems that come naturally with age. As a mere 68-year-old,I wish to age as productively as they have.Yet there are limits to what a society can spend in this pursuit. Ask a physician, I know the most costly and dramatic measures may be ineffective and painful. I also know that people in Japan and Sweden, countries that spend far less on medical care, have achieved longer, healthier lives than we have. As a nation, we may be overfunding the quest for unlikely cures while underfunding research on humbler therapies that could improve people's lives.第56题:What is implied in the first sentence?A.

    U. S. Blacks Hard-hit by Cancer

    Death rates for cancer are falling for all Americans,but black Americans are still more
    likely to die of cancer than whites,the American Cancer Society said Monday.
    In a special report on cancer and blacks,the organization said blacks are usually
    diagnosed with cancer later than whites,and they are more likely to die of the disease.
    This could be because of unequal(不平等的)access to medical care, because blacks
    are more likely to have other diseases as well,and perhaps because of differences in the
    biology(生物学)of the cancer itself, the report added.
    "In general,black Americans have less hope of surviving five years after diagnosis
    than whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis,"the report said,
    "In describing cancer statistics for black Americans,this report recognizes that many of
    the differences associated with race may be caused by unfair social and economic
    differences and unequal access to medical care."
    The cancer society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-ups(体格检查)
    earlier,when cancer is more treatable,and it said more research is needed to see if
    biological differences play a role.
    "The new statistics emphasize the continuing importance of wiping out these unfair
    social differences through public policy and education efforts,"the organization said in a
    statement.
    But it also noted a drop in cancer death rates.
    "Cancer death rates in both sexes for all sites combined have dropped greatly among
    black Americans since 1992,as have incidence rates(发生率),"said the report.

    Black Americans are more likely to die of cancer than
    A:people in other countries.

    If you think American cooking means opening a package and tossing the contents into the microwave, think again. On the one hand, it's true that Americans thrive on cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinners. From busy homemakers to professional people, many Americans enjoy the convenience of prepackaged meals that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Americans recognize the value of cooking skills. Most Americans will admit that there's nothing better than a good home-cooked meal.

    US Blacks Hard-hit by Cancer
    Death rates for cancer are falling for all Americans,but black Americans are still more likely to die of cancer than whites,the American Cancer Society said Monday.
    In a special report on cancer and blacks,the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer later than whites,and they are more likely to die of the disease.
    This could be because of unequal access to medical care,because blacks are more likely to have other diseases like diabetes as well,and perhaps because of differences in the biology of the cancer itself,the report added.
    “In general,African Americans have less likelihood of surviving five years after diagnosis than whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis,”the report said.
    “In describing cancer statistics for African Americans,this report recognizes that socioeconomic disparities and unequal access to medical care may underlie many of the differences associated with race.”
    The Cancer Society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-ups earlier,when cancer was more treatable,and it said more research is needed to see if biological differences play a role.
    “The new statistics emphasize the continuing importance of eliminating these social disparities through public policy and education efforts,”the organization said in a statement.
    But it also noted a drop in cancer death rates.
    “Cancer death rates in both sexes for all sites combined have declined substantially among black Americans since 1992,as have incidence rates,”said the report.
    “Increased efforts to improve economic conditions in combination with education about the relationship of lifestyle choices to cancer could further reduce the burden of cancer among African Americans.” About 36 million Americans describe themselves as black,representing about 12 percent of the population.

    Which may NOT be a reason for higher cancer death rates among US blacks?
    A: Unequal access to medical care.
    B: Greater probability of having other diseases.
    C: Differences in the biology of the cancer.
    D:.Early diagnosis.
