Pleased to meet youIf you are a visitor to our country, I expect by now you have realized why we call it Great Britain: our long and glorious history; the unspoiled beauty of our landscape; the rich variety of our weather, not to mention our great achievements in cricket and footballAs for me, Im so many feet and inches tall, and weigh so many pounds and ouncesMy petrol comes in gallons and my milk in pints from a milkmanI pay for them, in pounds and sterlingThe following are some specific aspects of us British:ComplainingIn order to be British, or at any rate to pass unnoticed in British society, the visitor must learn not to make a fussThe true Brit cannot stand itIt is equal to drawing attention to youIf the receptionist ignores you, or the hairdresser blows smoke in your face, if the soup is cold or the taxi driver overcharges say nothingWho knows what disappointments, what secret sadness their lives might contain? So dont complainYou can always write to the local newspaper when you get homePolitenessTo be popular, and to make good impression on his British hosts, the foreign visitor needs to learn how to apologize, in the street, on the bus, at the hairdressers, in the bedroom, going out and coming inSorry is one of the most important words in the vocabulary of any true Brit, and a word which should be always on the lips of any foreigner moving among usFish and Chips or rather, “fishnchips” is another essential experience for the visitorBritain is an island and eating fish reminds us of our practical and spiritual dependence on the seaThe chips symbolize our people: no two chips are the same, but we are united because we are all cut from the same bag of potatoes, all deep-fried in the same oilThis supper should be eaten almost immediately, with the fingers, walking along the street, preferably in the darkDO NOT take the fishnchips home, empty them onto a plate and eat them with a knife and forkThis is not the British wayMind Your Own BusinessA respect for privacy is one of the most highly valued social virtues in Britain, and those who offend against it are branded “Nosey Parkers”Householders in foreign lands may sit outside their front doors, shelling peas and chatting to the world at large, or else hang from their balconies calling down to passers-by in the streetSuch behavior makes the British deeply uneasy56According to the passage, people normally associate Britain with Athe changeable weather Bthe destroyed natural environmentCpoor performance in cricket and footballDbrief but splendid history57We know from the passage that the British Ausually dont mind being noticedBare tired of eating fishnchipsChate hanging from their balconies calling down to passers-byDcan only write to the local newspaper to complain58Which of the following statements is true? AIts typical of the British to sit outside their front doorsBThe British are seldom seen saying anything angrily in publicCThe British eat their food with their fingers after emptying it on the plateDWhen the British have their toes stepped on, they will demand an immediate “sorry”BWhen a couple decides to marry, they naturally inform both sets of parents and stepparents before having a party planned or telling all their friendsThe days are long gone of the man going trembling to the girls father and saying, “Sir, may I have the honor of having the hand of your daughter in marriage?” However, a wise couple always discusses their plans for marriage with their respective families, and a young man often suggests a “financial talk” with his future father-in-law before the latter is faced with the embarrassment of asking for oneEven if a young woman has supported herself and lives away from home, her parents have the right to know how her fianc proposes to handle the long-range financing of their family and homeThe fianc should state his income, his savings, and his future expectations, without overstating any of themEngagement parties are given by the parents of the bride-to-be or by a relative of the bride acting for her parents, usually just before the newspaper announcement of the engagementIf the bride-to-be and her fianc live in a city other than her parents, it is better for her parents to go to the city than her to go home to them for the engagement partyShe and her fianc will, after all, be partied in her parents hometown during the wedding festivitiesHowever, if the family home is not far away, it is proper for the engaged couple to travel there for the announcement partyThe young mans family should be invited, tooIf the brides parents are no longer living, then a relative or a close friend can give the partyIt is usually a simple cocktails party, champagne served for toasts to the engaged coupleIf the party is very large, the engaged couple and the girls parents might form a receiving line but they do not have toThe bride-to-be usually wears her engagement ring officially for the first time on this occasionIf she has a gift for the groom-to-be, she gives it to him right before or after the engagement partyFor Americans, the traditional engagement ring is a diamond solitaire （单粒宝石）However, today anything goes a ring with many colored stones, a ring with a large semi-precious stone, an heirloom （传家宝） ring reset in a modern design, or even a stone in the brides family, simply reset in a Tiffany settingThe wedding ring will be of the same metal as the engagement ringSome girls prefer no engagement ring but choose a wedding band that is decorated with stones insteadNo one has to have an engagement ringA girl may want her fianc to give her a pearl necklace instead, or a jeweled watchJeweled rings can be given as gifts on many occasions during the married lives such as wedding anniversaries, the birth of a child, or an important job promotion59According to the first paragraph, young men Amust tell all their friends before planning a partyBused to feel afraid of going to meet their girl friends parentsCmust promise that their family could support themDmust guarantee they live away from home already60The underlined word “one” in the first paragraph most probably means Aa marriageBa planCa financial talkDan embarrassment61Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AThe bride-to-be and her fianc will have to wait in line with both of their parentsBIf the boys parents are dead, a relative or a close friend gives a party on their behalfCThe engagement party is usually given before the newspaper announcementDIts no longer necessary to give a diamond solitaire as the engagement ring62We can infer from the last paragraph that w_w wk#s5_uc o*mAa young man can give his wife a jeweled watch on the birthday of their child Bthe heirloom must be reset in a modern designCthe engagement ring and the wedding ring are differentDsome girls dont mind what they are given for the engagementCOn 17 March 2003, Robin Cook, Leader of the House of Commons and former Foreign Secretary, resigned from the Cabinet in protest against the coming war in IraqHis resignation speech inspired the first long applause in the history of the House and marked the end of the ministerial career of one of Labors most brilliant politiciansFor the previous two years, Robin Cook kept a diary, a personal record of the life of Labors second term, a diary that forms the center of the narrative （叙述）The Point of Departure is Robin Cooks plain account of this extraordinary period in our political history, the most important political publication of the decadeThough surprised by his abrupt dismissal as Foreign Secretary, he became determined to bring about some changes in Parliamentary democracy （议会民主） that he believed was essential if Parliament was to move into the 21st centuryAs Tony Blair told him, “This is the job for you”Drawing on first-hand experiences in the Commons and the Cabinet, of encounters in conferences, and late night conversations, we follow his gathering disillusionment （醒悟） as the political compass of the government changes to directions which he believes to be completely mistaken: from its failure about Lords reform and its unwillingness to provide leadership for social change, to a foreign policy which has led us away from our responsibility in Europe, into closer relationship with the most right-wing governm
