The Germans are very quiet and they always keep calm. They don't like to speak more words. They look very serious. The Germans are very hard-working. They like tidiness, especially the women, who always keep their home clean.

In some ways, the Englishmen look the same as the Germans. They are very quiet and never talk too much with the strangers. They are really polite, so we often hear they say \"Thank you\" or \"Sorry.\" The gentlemen are also the Englishmen.

It is very easy to make friends with them. Compared(比较)to the Frenchmen, the Americans are more outgoing. And they are even opener than all of the Europeans. They don't like to depend on others. So it is very common that the students do part-time jobs in their free time. And in Americans' eyes, success is an important part in their life. 46. According to the passage, ______ are very quiet.

As prices and building costs keep rising, the \"do-it-yourself\" trend (趋势) in the U. S. continues to grow. \"We needed furniture for our living room,\" says John Ross, \"and we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.\" John got married(已婚的 ) six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling(努力) to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.

Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoemaking factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. \"I was very worried about it. Now I've finished a car repair course; I should be able to fix the car by myself.\"

John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money, so they can fight the high cost of living.

In classroom, your teachers will talk about topics that you are studying. The information will be useful for you to know when you take tests. So you must take good notes from what your teachers say. Here are the three steps of taking notes and what you should do during each stage. 1. Before Class

Review your notes you have taken before you come to class. This will be good for remembering what was covered. Get you ready to understand new information your teacher will provide. 2. During Class

Pay attention to what your teacher is saying and “the key words” that tell you what your teacher is going to say and it is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal words are “The most important point…” and “Remember that…”. Be sure to include the information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviations such as “med” for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences. 3. After Class

Rewrite your notes to make them more complete and accurate(准确的) by changing abbreviations into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences. Use them to answer your questions. If necessary, ask your teacher for help.
