When Andrew got ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise．All day Andrew thought about the important moment that was coming．What if Mr.Larchmont refuses his request?

You deserve it anyway! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”

Don’t believe all of the stereotypes(刻板印象) you may have heard about Americans．Even the ones that are true in general may not be true about individuals or a large percent of the population．For example, although Americans tend to be louder than people from other cultures (especially at athletic events), many of the people you meet will be quiet and polite．Some people may be xenophobic(排外的), but most will be pleasant and welcoming．Remember that American films and television present unrealistic pictures in order to create excitement．Similarly, tourists are not always on their best behavior．

Americans do tend to be more informal than people from many countries．It is common for Americans to wear casual clothing to school and to greet professors by first name．However, good manners and politeness are always appropriate．If you are polite, and dress a little more formally than your American friends, it will only make them respect you more．

However, there are situations and environments in which formality is needed．Some businesses require their employees to wear a uniform or a suit．It would be inappropriate to wear a T-shirt and blue jeans to a job interview．Some of the best restaurants require a coat and tie．Americans tend to dress up for cultural events (the opera, theater and ballet) and to dress down for athletic events and reunions．Formal wear is

required at weddings and funerals, or any other religious event．

A．noisy

B．romantic

C．hard-working

D．realistic

41．What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

42．It will be totally safe to wear a T-shirt and shorts when you ．

A．go to a concert (opera house) B．dine in a first-rate restaurant C．go to the church with your friend D．have a get-together with the classmates

In the Ethiopian highlands, where the legend of Kaldi, the goatherd(牧羊人), originated, coffee trees grow today as they have for centuries． It is said that he discovered that his goats, upon eating berries from a certain tree, became so spirited that they did not want to sleep at night． And that is when the knowledge of the story of coffee began to spread across the globe．

The Arabs(阿拉伯人) were the first, not only to plant coffee but also to begin its trade．By the fifteenth century, coffee was being grown in the Yemeni district of Arabia and by the sixteenth century it was known in Persia, Egypt, Syria and Turkey．Its popularity was perhaps due, in part, to the fact that Muslims, forbidden alcoholic drink by the Koran(可兰经), found coffee to be an acceptable substitute．

Coffee was not only drunk in homes but also in many public coffee houses—called qahveh khaneh— which began to appear in cities across the Near East．The popularity of the coffee houses was unequaled and people visited them for all kinds of social activity．Not only did they drink coffee and engage in conversation, but they also listened to music, watched performers, played chess and kept current on the news of the day．In fact, they quickly became such an important center for the exchange of information that the coffee houses were often referred to as “Schools of the Wise” .In the centuries that followed, with thousands of pilgrims(朝圣者) visiting the holy city of Mecca each year from all over the world, word of the “wine of Araby” as the drink was often called, was beginning to spread far beyond Arabia．
