O. Henry was a pen name used by an American writer of short stories. His real name was William Sydney Porter. He was born in North Carolina in 1862. As a young boy, he lived an exciting life. He did not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he was about 20 years old, O.Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank. When some money went missing from the bank, O.Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison. During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing. He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there. People liked his stories, because simple as the tales were, they would finish with a sudden change at the end, to the reader’s surprise.

In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the morning, while he is shaving（刮胡子） or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and needs immediate（立刻的） attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he thinks it’s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call passes on importance（重要性）.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests will feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to dinner party is given only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In the other areas of the world , it may be considered foolish to make an appointment（约会）too early because plans which are made for a date more than a week away are easily forgotten . The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world .Thus, misunderstandings（误解） are caused（引起） . Promptness（及时）is of high value（价值） in American life . A person who is five minutes late is expected to apologize. If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete his sentence.
（ ） 1. Supposing one wants to make a telephone call late in the evening, this would mean_______.
A. the matter is important B. the matter is rather important
C. the matter needs immediate attention D. it is a matter of life and death

An Australian Boy in Beijing
809 West Chang’an Street
Beijing, China
December 21, 2003
Dear Peter,
I’ve been here in Beijing for half a year now. Beijing is in the north of China, so it’s quite cold in winter. It has just snowed twice here.
I’m going to have the first “White Christmas” in my life! It’s hard to believe, isn’t it –so warm in Australia and so cold here?
Thank you for the wonderful stamps! I’ve collected over 300 Chinese stamps since I came here. I’m sending some Monkey King stamps to you. I think you will like them.
Now to answer some of your questions. Yes, I’m learning Chinese. Chinese is quite a difficult language for me. Last time Mum asked for some quilts（被子） in a shop. They showed her some cups. Dad and I had a good laugh over that. I’ve learned about 500 Chinese words. I can even write a little Chinese now. Have you looked at the words on the Christmas card? I wrote them myself!
No, I’m not swimming. Instead, I’m learning to skate on real ice! I’ve had so many falls that I’m black and blue all over. But I’m learning fast.
I’ve traveled to several places in south China with Mum and Dad since we came to China. I’ve seen a lot of interesting things. I’ve made quite a few good friends, too.
I have to finish the letter now. Ask Uncle John and Aunt Alice to bring you, too, when they come in August, We’ll have a good time together then.
Yours,
Mike

Many American presidents in the 19th century were born in poor families. They spent their childhood in little wooden rooms. They got little education. Washington and Lincoln, for example, never went to school and they taught themselves. Lincoln once did jobs of worker, shopkeeper and post-master in his early years.
A large number of American presidents had experiences in the army. The two best known were Ulysses Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Grant was a general in the American Civil War and Eisenhower was a hero in World War II. It happened that they graduated from the same school----West Point Military Academy（西点军校）. One may be surprised to learn that both of them did not do well in the school. Eisenhower, for example, was once fined （punished to pay money） because he broke the rules of the school.
The jobs of the US presidents are tiring. He must keep an eye on anything important that happens both at home and abroad. Every day, a lot of work waits for him to do and he has to make many important decisions. When Franklin Roosevelt was a child, he was once brought to visit President Taft.
