I was sleeping in my room when my bed started shaking and a loud noise was heard. I woke up and my mom was screaming my name. Next moment I was running along with my younger sister, mom and dad. Before I ran out of the door, I realized my elder sister hadn’t come out yet. So I screamed her name at the top of my voice. My mom said she had gone to her class. Then the four of us, along with many others, were running on the staircase. We lived on the seventh floor, so I thought we would not be able to make it and the building would fall before we managed to reach even the fourth floor. My dad’s head was injured by something falling down. I did try to put my hand over his head. When we reached the sixth floor, the building split into two. We had no way to get down.

The next thing I remember is silence. There were around 30 people on the staircase and none could react. Five minutes later, someone opened the door of the sixth-floor flat. We all went in. we were wondering how we would get down. From the balcony of the sixth-floor flat, I saw people standing on the ground floor. All eyes were stuck on us. I could see my elder sister crying.

Our first hope of surviving came when a worker climbed a rope to where we were. That was ,the first time we thought maybe we could get down. Half an hour passed and we were still trapped. Finally RSS people arrived with ropes. They got people down one by one. My biggest worry was how my dad would get down. Finally after two and a half hours, we all got down.

That day we saw the power of nature. It has taken more than two years to build the flats and it took just one and a half minutes to destroy the structure.

Although the US is so big and its people have so many different racial backgrounds, it is in some ways less varied than Europe.The English language is used almost everywhere in its American form.The American way of speaking has developed independently of English and is on the whole closer to what can be heard in Ireland.
Another example of uniformity(一致)is in habits and ways of living.From Boston to Los Angeles it is as far as from France to Central Asia, and from east to west there are five time zones; but everywhere people get up and go to bed at about the same time, eat the same kind of food, buy in the same kind of shops, work and rest at the same time of the day and have the same pattern of holidays.In most of the things that matter there is less difference between rich people and ordinary people or between town and country, than in any single European nation.
Although far more food is produced than the present population needs, America is actually an urban society.Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in (從事) agriculture and most of the rest live in or around towns large and small.Here the traditional picture is changing; most Americans do not live in small towns any more.Half the population now live in some thirty metropolitan (大城市的) areas.
The fact that the United States has always been a single economic unit has contributed to uniformity.Modern industry favors large organization, and it is no accident that the world’s biggest commercial firms are American.The people can choose between the products of competing manufacturers (制造商) but the products are all much alike.

  1. 1.

    In describing the uniformity in the U.S.the author does not mention that the American people       .

      get up and go to work at the same time
    2. B.
      spend their holidays in the same pattern
    3. C.
      buy and eat the same kind of food
    4. D.
      have more or less the same income
  2. 2.

    What can we learn from the passage about the U.S.agriculture?

    1. A.
      The American farmers need more land.
    2. B.
      Americans are interested in farming.
    3. C.
      It is now going backward.
    4. D.
      It is quite developed.
  3. 3.

    The last paragraph suggests that ___      .

    1. A.
      the production size in the United States is very big
    2. B.
      a single economic unit produces the same kind of products
    3. C.
      there are more and more competing manufactures
    4. D.
      people can choose from all kinds of products that are similar.
  4. 4.

    The underlined part “In most of the things that matter” probably refers to      .

    1. A.
      in most basic things such as food, clothing and houses
    2. B.
      in the more expensive things such as cars, TV sets, etc
    3. C.
      in their land, housing and bank savings

      in their wealth and income

Most laws in the United States and Canada are similar to laws in other countries. For example, it is against the law everywhere to murder a person, and it is illegal to steal money. Everyone knows these laws, but foreign students or tourists in a new country may not know some of the local laws. For instance, a legal action in Peru may be against the law in Korea, and an illegal activity in an Asian city may be perfectly legal in a European city. On the other hand, laws may be the same in various countries but vary in different cities or states of the same nation.
In many cities in the United States, for instance, it is not legal to “jaywalk.” This law may seem strange to visitors. Sometimes they cross a street, and a police officer gives them a ticket. Then they need to pay a fine of $10 to $25. They soon learn to cross a street only in a crosswalk or at a corner. It’s against the law to cross in the middle of the street.
Most people know that states in the United States have different laws about the legal drinking age; this age varies, but in most states no one under twenty-one can buy alcohol, even beer or wine. Also, in most U.S. cities, it is illegal to drink alcohol in public. Of course, liquor is legal in restaurants and bars, but it’s against the law to drink a can of beer, for instance, on a public street. Some people put the can in a paper bag and drink; nobody can see the beer, but it still isn’t legal. In addition, it is illegal to have an open liquor bottle inside a car.

  1. 1.

    We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ______.

    1. A.
      it is legal to steal money in some countries
    2. B.
      Peru and Korea have completely different laws
    3. C.
      there may be different local laws in a country
    4. D.
      an Asian city and a European city can’t have the same law
  2. 2.

    The word “jaywalk” underlined in the second paragraph most probably means ______.

    1. A.
      to talk with others while crossing a street
    2. B.
      to have a drink while crossing a street
    3. C.
      to cross in the middle of the street
    4. D.
      to cross a street at a corner
  3. 3.

    Which of the following is legal in the United States?

    1. A.
      Selling a can of beer to teenagers.
    2. B.
      Having a bottle of wine in a Chinese restaurant.
    3. C.
      Having an open bottle of beer inside a car.
    4. D.
      Drinking a can of beer in a street without being seen.
