Dear Henry,

I am writing to you from the home of my Aunt Grace and Uncle Jacob in Missouri. We stopped here for a few days to visit and rest. Now I am sitting on Aunt Grace’s chair in the garden alone. We left Pennsylvania seven weeks ago and it was really hard to sit on the covered wagon (有蓬的馬車) to travel. It is only seven weeks，but it seems like much more!

Luckily, our journey is almost over. My dad likes the look of the land near St. Louis. He thinks we can have a new home here. And Mom likes the idea of living near Aunt Grace and Uncle Jacob. They wanted to help us build our new home and clear land for our rice field (田地) . Uncle Jacob will also give us a horse and some chickens. It seems we will have a good start.

I miss (想念) Pennsylvania already. I miss the mountains. I miss fishing at Thunder River. But mostly I miss my old friends and neighbors. Please say hello to everyone for me. I will write again soon. Please write back.

Your friend,

Robert

My name is Jack. I’m a Chinese student living in the United States. When my family moved to America in 2016 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our bags, but also our village rules and culture. One of the rules is that young people should respect(尊敬) the elderly. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment(窘迫) in the United States.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. At one time, when I was serving food to an old couple(夫婦), the wife asked me how I could serve the food so quickly. I told her that I tried to get their food quickly because I respected the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and told me about how sensitive Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and said sorry to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that cultural differences caused the problem, so they laughed and were no longer angry.

In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to their seventies or eighties, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is too weak to work or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that respected the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they were not able to stay young. I told them something they didn’t want to hear.

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more, I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.

1.After this experience in the Chinese restaurant, Jack ________.

A.no longer respected the elderly B.changed his way with older people

C.lost his job in the restaurant D.made friends with the couple

2.Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.

B.From this experience, Jack learnt more about American culture.

C.The manager went back to the table and said sorry to the couple.

D.Jack wanted to show his feeling through words after his experience.

3.The word “sensitive” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________ ”.

A.respecting people deeply B.taking nothing seriously

C.getting upset easily D.treating others nicely

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To show that we should act differently with different people and culture.

B.To tell the readers that we should always follow rules of our hometown.

C.To introduce Americans and Chinese different ideas on “being old”.

D.To explain why most Americans don’t like to be called “old”.
