V．閱讀理解（共20分，每題2分）

A

Thank you very much for your letter．I'm glad that you will come to the USA this fall．You asked about what you might need to take with you．

Plan carefully because if your baggage (行李) weighs more than 32 kilos or your case is larger than 158 cm, most international airlines will ask you to pay a high amount of money for over-weight or oversized baggage．You may take two pieces of baggage on most international flights and you may bring two carry-on bags for free．Students and professors dress casually at US schools, particularly in summer．Students wear T-shirts, jeans, tennis shoes and sometimes shorts to class．There probably will be some special events for more formal wear．Men will want to have a sports jacket, pants (or a suit ), a shirt and a tie．Women will want to have at least one nice dress．Should you bring any sports equipment (設(shè)備)? Certainly you can bring your swimsuit, but leave your heavy bicycle, soccer balls, etc, at home．You can easily rent (租賃) or borrow this equipment．If you don't know what you will find in the place where you are going to live, bring soap and a towel (毛巾) for the first night――buy anything else you need after you have got to the place where you are going to live．

You'll probably find that you miss many things about Chinese life．You will learn the new rules and habits of this new place and meet lots of difficulties here．Just remember that you left China to learn and that means losing a little bit of your Chinese life style．North American people admire (欣賞) individual personal experience．Get ready to be independent (獨(dú)立的)!

Have a good trip and enjoy your educational adventure．

Yours,

David

(    ) 2． Take nothing with you and buy anything you need after you get to the USA．

(    ) 3． If you attend an important party, you should dress formally．

(    ) 4． You'll learn to do things by yourself if you live in the USA．

(    ) 5． The person who received David's letter will go traveling in the USA．

B

I met a friend yesterday but had forgotten his name．I know that he had forgotten mine, too．I felt very embarrassing (令人為難的) at that time and didn't know what to do．My question is: What would you do if you met this embarrassing situation (情況) ?

Bring in a third person．Pretend (假裝) you know that person．The third person will (with luck) be too polite to say that he has never met you．You say to the third person, "I'm sorry, but I've forgotten your name．" This person will then introduce himself．You can then introduce yourself．Your friend will now introduce himself．Now you have gotten your friend's name．

Move to France．"Bonjour monsieur/madame" is OK if you don't know someone really well．
