It was a cold night. The taxi driver didn't take even one passenger all day. When he went by
the train station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he drove to him
and asked, ” Where are you going, sir?"
"To the MP Hotel," the young man answered. When the taxi driver heard this, he didn't feel
happy any more. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was near the
train station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the young man through many streets of the
big city.
After a long time, they arrived at the hotel.
"Here we are! You should pay me seventeen
dollars, please," the taxi driver said to the young man.
"What? Seventeen dollars! Do you think
I'm a fool? Only last week, I took a taxi from the train station to this hotel and I only gave the
driver fifteen dollars. I know how much I have to pay for the trip. "

(B)
For most Chinese, it is not easy to say "I love you", even to our parents, no matter how much we love
them. The Chinese prefer to put their love in heart rather than speak the words. Some of us may think it is not
important to speak out their love. Only if our parents can feel our love and believe we love hem, that is
enough.
Try to think about this question in another way. Do you want to hear your parents say they love you? If
they say so, what will you feel? Won't you feel happy and very warm in heart? Sure you will. And your
parents will feel the same if you tell them you love them. Parents never expect their children to do many
things for them. They are so easy to be satisfied (满足的). Why not try to say "I love you" to them one day?
It's not a really difficult thing. And you will see how surprised and happy they are!
51. It's difficult for most Chinese to say
“_______”.
A. Good morning
B. Excuse me
C. I love you
52. Some Chinese think it is not _______ to speak out their love.
A. important
B. impossible
C. difficult
53. You feel
in heart if your parents say they love you.
A. sad
B. tired
C. happy and warm
54. Parents
their children to do many things for them.
A. sometimes hope
B. don't hope
C. always hope
55. Which of the following is TRUE from the passage?
A. We should try to say "I love you" to our parents.
B. Our parents won't feel happy if we say "I love you" to them.
C. Chinese always like saying "I love you" to each other.
(C)
