Suddenly, it started raining. Raindrops fell on the travelers through the opened window. Seeing the rain, the old man’s son said happily, “See Dad, how beautiful the rain is!” Hearing these words, a young lady became angry with the man, as the raindrops were dropping on her new clothes. She couldn’t help shouting at the noisy son and his father.
“Can’t you see it is raining? You! Old man! If your son is not feeling well, get him to a mental hospital(精神病院) quickly and please don’t disturb（干扰） us any more!” The old man’s face turned slightly red and then in a low voice, he replied, “We are on the way back from hospital.

Many Americans have been leaving their cars at home and riding to work on bicycles. Andy Clark is the leader of the League of American Bicyclists. His group supports bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation（交通）.
Clark says this is good news for the environment. He says riding a bicycle to work does not burn fossil fuel or creates dangerous pollutions. Experts say the effects are the most important on short trips. The Department of Transportation says fifty percent of Americans drive eight kilometers or fewer to work. Shorter car trips set out more pollution into the air for each kilometer drive. This is because the car engine will set out the harmful air when it warms up before it can work well.
James, a members of Congress (国会), is a strong supporter of bicycle use. He says cities, counties, state governments and state highway transportation agencies are planning the roadways of the future. They are creating roads and paths for bicycles in cities and between communities.
Last year, Portland, the Pacific Northwest city in the state of Oregon, had the highest percentage of bicycle users in the United States. Portland has been doing progressive city planning for many years to create special paths for bike riders.

When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic mentioned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them.” “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,” they answered.
“How do you know?” was my logical question. They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their earning. I was strummed. So mom's cooking and criticizing read us as “I love you”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different responses. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged（拥抱）her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself, I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a word of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the lax words we say to or hear from those we love.
34. The foreign teacher _________.
A. comes from America B. is a young woman
C. is expressive enough D. knows much about China
35. Chinese people prefer to show love by __________.
A. saying “I love you” B. cooking
C. getting good grades D. doing something helpful
36. In paragraph 4, what's the real meaning of the mom's hugging?
A. She is meeting her daughter at the door.
B. She loves her daughter and misses her.
C. She is glad that she has more time to herself.
D. She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
37. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Say “I love you” more to your family.
B. Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people.
C. Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.
D. Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.
D

When you finish the talk, thank them for listening. Say something like, “thanks! That helped.” It will let them know this is important to you, and make them want to do it more often.
