四、阅读理解（本题有15小题，每小题2分，共30 分）
A
When my family moved to America from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, tool me aside and gave my a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感的) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience. However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working so well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.
After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words. 41. One of the rules in Jack’s hometown is that ________.
A. the elderly should get food first in restaurants B. the young should respect the elderly C. the elderly should exercise to stay young D. the elderly should learn from others
42. Jack brought the couple’s food quickly because _________.
A. they had little time to eat
B. the couple asked Jack to do so C. Jack respects the elderly
D. Jack likes to do things quickly
43. The wife was _______ when she heard Jack’s words.
A. unhappy B. excited C. pleased D. bored 44. Americans think “growing old” is a problem since _________.
