My三、阅读理解（共15小题；共30分）A For the British, the home is private place in which he or she goes to hide away from the troubles of life. It is very seldom that one would be invited to a British persons home. It is rude to knock on a persons door if you are not invited. If you are invited, dont ask to see more than the downstairs that your British host invites you into. Never ask how much the house or any of the items in if cost. To the American, most of them want their home to be a place where they can entertain(款待) and share their lives with their friends. They may be delighted to give you a full tour of their houses. They may also be pleased when you show your interest and pleasure in their houses. Both British and American people will engage in quite a bit of chat and a drink or two before the meal is served. After the first mouthful, you should say how delicious the food is and ask something about it. Remember, never eat with your mouth open and make very little noise while eating. It would be nice of you to help your host in any way. Maybe offer to pour some drinks or clear up after the meal.26. British people invite friends to their home.A. oftenB. alwaysC. seldomD. never27.

When we have a conversation with someone, we may be using more body language than words. However, the same body language may mean different things in different countries. Thats why people sometimes do not understand each other correctly. Pointing to one part of the body can mean differently in different cultures. For example, in the USA people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, in Europe it means He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head. In our Chinese culture, nodding(点头) our head up and down means yes and shaking our head from side to side means no. However, in parts of India, Greece and Turkey, it means just the opposite. In England or the USA, when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means Youre all right or Everything is OK. However, if we do this in France or Belgium, it means Youre worth zero. In Greece or Turkey, we should not make this gesture(手势). Or we are thought to be very rude. The meaning of gestures can also change over time. In the 1960s, the V sign meant peace. However, during World War II, it meant victory. In Greece, it is a very insulting(污辱性) sign. Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning throughout the world, such as smiling and crying.31. In England, if people point to their heads it means they think someone is .A. cleverB. stupidC. headacheD. angry32. In India, if one nods his head up and down, it means he .A. doesnt agreeB. agreeC. is happyD. is sad33. In France, if you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means .A. you are cleverB. everything is OKC. it is trueD. you are worth nothing34. Which countrys body language is most different from our usual thinking?A. France.B. England.C. Greece.D. India.35. V sign meant about forty years ago.A. victoryB. killingC. festivalD. peaceCLetter ADear Rose, I like you programmes very much. Im now writing to ask you something about American social customs(风俗) in their dinner party. I am very happy and have decided to go, but I am a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from there, so Im afraid of making mistakes. Should I bring a present, such as sweets or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know Im thankful for their kindness?Wang Fang Letter BDear Wang Fang, Its a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party.
