三、阅读理解.(10分)

Americans are very direct people. When they want something they say “yes” and when they don't they say “no”. If they want something different from what is given, they ask for it. Here's an example. I arrive at someone's house and he gives me wine. I don't want wine. Maybe I don't like it or maybe I just don't want it. I will say“ No, thanks.”If everyone around me is drinking something, I would ask for something else,“ No, thanks. But I'll take a bit of tea if you have some. ” If I really want wine, I just say,“ Yes, thank you. ”Unless they happen to know the Chinese customs, westerners will not ask you again and again after you have said you don't want it.

My Pleasant Day

I had a pleasant day last month. In the morning, I got up late and then began to do my homework. It took me about two hours to finish it. Next, I had fun playing computer games. While my mother was cooking lunch, I was washing my clothes. In the afternoon, I played tennis happily with my friends. Before I went to bed, I listened to light music. It made me relaxed. What a happy day I had!
