I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.
What I 1most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 2ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to 3his family as cold. When we got into the 4to go home, his father suddenly appeared.
5, he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he was a caring man through the glass.
I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often 6me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant 7or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his 8me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 9morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I 10him.
When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt 11. For example, I always return phone calls 12and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the 13: She wasn’t a good friend! My anger 14as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I 15and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was 16at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be 17. Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
Far too often, I ignored their 18expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my 19. Over the years, however, I’ve learned to 20other persons’ love signs.

A
Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.
Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.
Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.
Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.
Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.

A. indicates a lack of food B. can help to develop unity
C. is a custom unique to rural areas D. has its roots in birthday celebrations
22.What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year?
A. Trust. B. Success. C. Health. D. Togetherness.
23.The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______.
A. using examples B. making comparisons
C. analyzing causes D. describing processes
24.What is the passage mainly about?
A. The custom of sharing food. B. The specific meaning of food.

Over the last 30 years, Bangkok, once a small fishing village, has transformed into a rich, concrete, high-rise city that it is today．The spreading metropolis and its population of 12 million now produces 35 per cent of Thailand's economic wealth．
As a magnet for foreign companies, Bangkok attracts many overseas managers and business people from different fields, including tourism! automobiles and electronics．The city's population of foreigners is in the high hundreds of thousands, with tens of thousands of Japanese, Chinese and western employees working alongside hundreds of thousands of Burmese who mostly do unskilled jobs shunned by Thais．
For those used to the good life, the variety and quality of the city's food is a key attraction, says one US manager, before listing many of his favorite Italian, Mexican and, of course, Thai restaurants．Most offer quality meals for less than the cost of a takeaway sandwich in London．
Great choice and value can be found in Bangkok's other attractions, too．For overseas business people who enjoy shopping in luxury and air-conditioned comfort! The city has hundreds of modern shopping malls．Some foreigners, however, prefer the charms of Chanukah Market, where anything can be bought at a good price by the skilled bargainer．

Personal Responses
1.Why do you want to work at the Maintown Public Library?
I consider myself a keen reader, a quality I feel a library clerk should possess. Although my reading preferences span a variety of genres, I consider mystery and science fiction among my favourites. Additionally, I volunteer in my school library as an assistant after school; therefore, I have experience using a library catalogue and check-out system, assisting others in researching topics through the Internet and shelving books. My school librarian, Mr. Morris, has trained me to process new books for delivery to the floor. I feel my experience would translate well to the public library system and ensure that the public library gains a valuable employee.
2.What do you enjoy about visiting the Maintown Public Library?
A library is a place of learning and reflection, so it should be comfortable and welcoming. From the large windows to the plush armchairs to the well-organized layout of the shelves and open spaces, the bright, cheerful atmosphere of our town’s library makes me want to extend each of my visits. All my friends have Maintown Public Library cards.
3.How do you define good customer service?
Good customer service means customers leave the library feeling they have accomplished their initial goals for visiting the library that day. In order to assist in this endeavour, a library clerk should determine a customer’s needs and make those needs a priority. Whether patrons have come to the library to browse for a book, or they are researching a topic through the Internet or other media, my job would be to assist them in their search.
