Every country has its own culture. Even though each country uses doors，doors may have 11 functions and purposes which lead to 12 differences.

When I first came to America, I noticed that a public building had two different 13 and they had distinct functions. You have to push the door with the word “PUSH” to go out of the building and to pull the door with the word “PULL” to 14 the building. This was new to me, because we use the 15 door in South Korea. For quite a few times I failed to go out of a shopping centre and was embarrassed.

The way of using school bus doors was also 16 to me. I used to take the school bus to classes. The school decided that when the driver opened both the front and back doors, 17 who were getting off the bus should get off first, and students who were getting on should get on 18 . In South Korea, we do not need to wait for people to get off. One morning, I hurried to the bus, and when the bus doors opened, I 19 tried to get on the school bus through the front door. All the students around looked at me, I was totally 20 , and my face went red.

20. A. embarrassed B. annoyed C. unsatisfied D. excited

B Even people who don’t have much talent for acting or singing still dream of being discovered by a talent?scout (星探). It seems just like 21 the lottery(彩票), but better 22 you get fame and money. For me, the dream seemed likely to stay a dream. But everything 23 last week in Beijing. I was eating dinner with some friends. As I was getting ready to pay, a young Chinese woman came running up to me. I was 24 that I must have done something horrible to offend her without 25 it. “You are a white man,” she said 26 when she got to our table. “Yes, I am a white man,” I replied. “Can you speak 27 ?” she asked. “Yes.” “Oh good. Come with me now, please.” I walked outside and saw that a movie was being shot in front of one of the street’s largest 28 .The woman, a talent agent, had 29 a foreigner for this movie, but he had forgotten to 30 . She needed to find a white guy who spoke English, and I was the only one 31 . My part was to walk from one end of the street to the other, and then 32 the club. When I got to the club, I was supposed to 33 to my friend and say, “Forget about the girl, man. We are here to party!” It took me three tries to say the line? 34 or walk without?tripping, but 35 I got it right. The talent scout ran to me afterward. “You are so 36 . I would like you to join my agency.” I know I am not going to be the next Jay Chou. 37 , it seems that my 38 “star” talents are being white and being able to speak English. 39 , next time you are watching a Chinese movie, look in the 40 . If you see a white guy stumbling (蹒跚) on his way into a nightclub, it might just be me on my way to stardom (星途)!21. A. accepting B. bargaining C. predicting D. winning22.

According to Gabe Rothsclild, Emerald Valley’s mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.

“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”

Astronomers---scientists who study stars and planets----have been complaining about this problem for decades. The
