Mary was waiting for the airplane to take off. She was happy to get a seat by herself. Just

then，an air hostess came up to her and asked. "Would you mind changing your seat? A man

would like to sit with his wife." The only available seat was next to a girl with her arms broke,

a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression. "I don't want to sit there," Mary thought

immediately. But a soft voice spoke, "She needs help." Finally, Mary moved to that seat.

The girl was named Emily. She had been in a car accident and now was on her way for

treatment.

When the snack and juice arrived, Mary realized that Emily could not feed herself. Mary

considered offering to feed her but hesitated（犹豫）, as it seemed too impolite to offer a service

to a stranger. But then Mary realized that Emily's need was more important. Mary offered to

help her eat. Although Emily was uncomfortable to accept, she agreed . They became closer

and closer in a short time. By the end of the five-hour trip, Mary's heart had warmed, and the

time was really better spent than if she had just sat by herself.

Mary was very glad that she had sat next to Emily and fed her. Love sometimes goes

beyond human borders（边界）and removes the fears that keep people away. When we reach our

hands to serve another, we grow to live in a larger and more rewarding world.

五、任务型阅读（满分20分）

A）阅读填词。（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）

阅读短文，根据其内容在短文后的图表中的空格里填入一个恰当的单词。

Eric and Chen first met in their Maths class at an American college. Chen was an international student from China. He wanted to learn about American culture and hoped he and Eric would become good friends. At first, Eric seemed friendly. He always greeted Chen warmly before class. Sometimes he offered to study with Chen He even invited Chen to eat lunch with him. But after the term was over and they were in different classes, Eric seemed more distant. They didn’t see each other very much at college. One day Chen called Eric ,But Eric didn’t seem very interested in talking to him, Chen was hurt by Eric’s change of attitude（态度）.“Eric said we were friends.”Chen said.“I thought friends were friends forever. As a foreigner, he doesn’t understand the way Americans view friendship.

Americans use the word “friend” in a very general way . Their friendship is based on common interests. When the shared activity ends, the friendship may die. Now as Eric and Chen are no longer classmates, their“friendship”has changed.

In some cultures friendship means a strong life-long tie between two people—friendship develops slowly, since it is built to last. American friendship develops quickly, and it may change just as quickly.

Learning how Americans view friendship can help non-Americans remove misunderstandings（误解）. It can help them make friends in the American way.
