I learned how our attitudes made a big difference in our everyday lives from my friend Mary.

She doesn’t have any pets. I happened to see her outside on a -30 degree morning walking a dog. I felt sorry for Mary, out there walking a dog that’s not hers in such cold weather. I thought maybe she was saying to herself, “Yeah, this is why I don’t have any pets! I hate walking dogs.”

Later that day I saw Mary and said, “I saw you out there walking a dog this morning. Are you unhappy because you had to walk it on such a cold day?” To my surprise, she said that she enjoyed getting out there and walking the dog and that she got good exercise because of the dog. She also said she had talked to her brother, the dog’s owner, who was on holiday in Orlando, Florida with his family. He said his children were enjoying Disney World and the resorts (勝地). His four-year-old son had breakfast with Mickey Mouse and said it was the best day in his life. Mary said, “If I can help my brother and his family have a wonderful time relaxing for a week, knowing that their pet is being loved and cared for, what more could I ask for?” She added, “It’s worth it for me to make the sacrifice (犧牲) so that they can go and have fun.”

4.結(jié)合文章第2、3、4段，Mary沒有寵物，我碰巧看見她在-30度的早上在遛狗。我很同情她，在如此冷的天氣里去溜不屬于她的狗。我原以為她會(huì)對我說這就是她沒寵物的原因，她討厭遛狗。而Mary說她喜歡遛狗，在遛狗的同時(shí)可以鍛煉身體，還給我講著哥哥一家度假的情況。最后她補(bǔ)充道：“如果我能幫助我的哥哥和他的家人，讓他們能夠美美的放松一周，并且讓他們知道狗被很好的照顧和關(guān)愛，我還能要求什么��？”故C正確。

Last year, I lived in Chile for half a year. I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didn’t understand.
Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.
I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn’t speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.
Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression (敵對心理) towards the people to lack of appetite(食欲). I was required to overcome all difficulties.
As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.
But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.
【小題1】The author came to Chile last year with the purpose of ________.

A．paying a visit to Chile as a touristB．experiencing Chilean life as a teacher
C．studying Chilean culture as a college studentD．studying knowledge as an exchange student
【小題2】On arriving in Chile, why did the author feel frightened?
A．Because he did not know how to get along with the local people.
B．Because it was full of dangers like earthquakes and windstorms.
C．Because its living conditions were worse than what he was used to.
D．Because it was not convenient for him to shop there.
【小題3】In the first week in Chile the author _ _______.
A．was not used to eating Chilean food B．had some friends to have a chat with
C．couldn’t communicate with peopleD．couldn’t express his thoughts in English
【小題4】What did the author most probably think of his life in Chile?
A．Wonderful and worthwhileB．Difficult but meaningful
