The Japanese and Chinese are also repelled(反感)by the idea of a handkerchief.What you should do instead? If traveling through Eastern and Asian countries, leave the hankies at home and choose one-off tissues instead. In France as well as in Eastern countries, if youre dining and need to clear your nasal(鼻腔) passages, excuse yourself and head to the restroom. Worst-case situation: make an exaggerated (夸张的) effort to walk away from the table. Lets hope you dont have a cold .Talking over dinnerWhere its rude: Africa, Japan, Thailand, China, Finland.Whats rude : In some countries, like China, Japan, and some African nations, the foods the thing, so dont start chatting about your days adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner. Youll likely be met with silence-not because your group is unfriendly, but because mealtimes are for eating, not talking. Also avoid conversations in places a country might consider religious or reflective-churches in Europe, temples in Thailand, and saunas in Finland. What you should do Instead Keep quiet! Knowing your right from your leftWhere its rude: India, Morocco, Africa, the Middle East.Whats rude: Many cultures still prefer to eat using traditional methods-their hands. In these cases, food is often shared by a group, which is why its important to wash your hands before eating and observe the right-hand-is-for-eating and the left-hand-is-for-other-duties rule. If you eat with your left hand, expect your fellow diners to be extremely embarrassed. And when eating or drinking from a shared bowl, stick to a portion thats closest to you. Do not get greedy and plunge your hand into the center.What you should do instead Left - handed? Attempt to use either hand with equal skill-even children who are left - handed in these cultures are taught to eat with their right hand-or at least explain yourself to your fellow diners before plunging in. 21. A guest tries to leave the table if he has a cold _. A. for fear that others will be infected with a cold B. in case he has to blow his nose C. because he feels very terrible D. before his cold gets worse22. In Japan, _ is rude over dinner .

According to the passage ,which of the following most probably agrees with the authors opinions? A. Its good to learn at another mans cost. B. East or west ,home is the best. C. A close mouth catches no flies . D. When in Rome , do as the Romans do .B My aunt died back in about 2003. She was eighty-four and so was my uncle. When she passed away he was extremely shocked and sad. They had been married for over 60 years. We expected him to pass on quickly after she died. He attended his church more frequently and his mourning was nearly unbearable to witness. His only daughter lived clear across the country so he had only the rest of the extended family and church family to comfort him. One day he called my cousin who was living in Texas and told her that he reconnected with a lady from a church that he and my aunt went to forty years previously. She played piano and his church was looking for new music. Her husband had died about seven years previously. He said he just wanted someone to go out to dinner with and spend time with. We were happy for them but had no idea how it would turn out. They were both almost eighty-seven years old. The other fly in the ointment was that they were both very busy people. They both still worked !They were in their mid - eighties and both had their own family businesses. She worked for her son who took over the family business and he had his own business. The argument in their relationship came when they neither wanted to leave their respective churches. She went to her Baptist church that she had attended for many years and he went to his, which was a Pentecostal. They decided to remain friends but nothing more. He was broken-hearted, but felt that his religion was the only way. She didnt want to leave her church and didnt like the extreme of his. Before too long they realized that they did not want to be apart. They would find a new churchtogether. They planned to marry. When he took her to a jewelry store and bought her a diamond, the employees were so impressed that they had a big write up in our own local paper, The Truth for Valentines Day. They prepared for their wedding. They moved the wedding date up because neither wanted to wait any longer to be together, and it was not proper to be together without being married. They got married in her house, where they decided they would live. It was such a beautiful refreshing thing to see, two people who you would have thought had pretty much lived their lives, were beginning a new one together. I have never seen my uncle happier. He is still in love and she loves him as much as he loves her. 24. The underlined word fly in the ointment in the third paragraph means _ . A. disagreement B. difference C. imperfection D. reason25. The authors uncles argument with his new lady mainly lies in their _. A. religions B. businesses C. families D. ages26. According to the passage , it can be inferred that _ . A. the employees were jealous of the old couples romance B. the author was in favor of his uncles new marriage C. the authors uncle didnt love his dead wife any longer D. the authors cousin was uninterested in her fathers crazy love27.Which can best serve as the title of the passage? A. The Truth for Valentines Day B. Never too old for love C. Marriage of the elderly D. Religion and love C Smith called in some architects in Palm some years ago and asked them what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning. I think half of them fell off their chairs, Smith says. Smith manages school facilities for his county, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2018, 143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system. Smith needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes(样品)：they plan to construct their schools starting in 2012. The district will then assess how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 t0 70 new buildings. Green schools are appearing all over, but in Smiths county, which stands out for its vastness, such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate. One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation(期向) , Mark , a director at SH Architecture, says. His company recently completed a high school in Palm. You have the same building, the same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool. Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of the most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. I dont believe in the new green religion, Smith says. Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. Im interested in those that work. But he wouldnt mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power. You never know whats going to start the interest of a child to study math and science, he says.28. How did the architects react to Smiths design requirements? A. They lost balance in excitement. B. They expressed little interest. C. They showed strong disbelief. D. They burst into cheers.29. Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project? A. Design Prototype Assessment Construction B. Assessment Prototype Design Construction C. Assessment Design Prototype Construction D. Design AssessmentPrototype Construction 30. _ makes it difficult to build green schools in Smiths county. A. The large size B. Limited facilities C. Poor natural resources D. The desert climate31. What does Smith think of the ideas of green schools ? A. Out of date B. Questionable C. Advanced D. Practical D Feeling lonely? Then youre almost certainly about to die. Okay, not really. But two new studies do suggest that feeling alone can make death faster. One study followed found that people over 45 years old who lived alone and easily suffered from heart problems were almost 25 percent more likely to die from them than people who lived with a husband or wife, a relative . Researchers think that people living alone are less likely to take their medication and eat healthily, not to mention have someone there to dial 911 when their hearts seize up like an oilless engine. The second study focused on people 60 and older, and linked feelings of loneliness or isolation with a higher risk of early death. About 45 percent of men and 59 percent of women were more likely to die if they reported feeling left out. These feelings of isolation, moreover, had little to do with whether the participants lived with someone else-a neglectful(疏忽的)husband or wife proved just as deadly as an otherwise empty apartment. But never fear! We know several ways to avoid destructive feelings of loneliness, even if everyone youve ever known has ultimately thought you are undeserved of love. Such as: Head to a neighborhood watering hole and look for someone sitting alone at the bar. Then make fun of the person in your head for being such a useless loser while you get completely forgotten. Buy a mannequin(时装模特) , but leave some of the limbs( an arm or a leg ) off it. That way, youll immediately have something to talk about: How would you lose that limb, Manny? . Gosh, that sounds awful! Wander into a dog park and strike up conversations with strangers about how youve always wanted a dog, but could never have one because of your horrible allergies. Blow your nose a lot. Then let the strangers sympathy wash over you like a warm bubble(泡沫) bath. Invite your neighbor over for some freshly pressed lemonade. But make sure to poison the lemonade so that, once your neighbor is dead, you can steal his identity and all of his friends. 32. From the two studies a conclusion can be drawn that _ . A. those living alone live a less happy life B. feeling lonely leads to a greater risk of an early death C. living alone makes death faster D. whether people feel lonely depends on whether they have a partner 33. According to the author those feeling lonely are advised to A. get around to communicate more B. turn strangers away C. accept as they are D. get a fashion model to accompany 34. Which best describes the writers tone in the passage ? A. Pitiful B. Humorous C. Concerned D. Serious 35. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage ? E. Reasons Why You Dont Have Many Friends Finding and keeping friends in adulthood is different from the days when you played on the playground at recess(课间休息). 36 . If you dont have many friends, its important to consider the possible reasons why.Youre selfish Consider whether or not being selfish contributes to the fact that you dont have friends. 37 If youre only willing to do what you want, when you want it, its unlikely that your friends will tolerate it for very long.

You expect too much from friends If you expect your friends to always be available or always meet your needs, youll be disappointed. 40 .

I hunted for a book in the airport shops, bought a bag of 42 and found a place to drop. I was buried in my book but 43 to see that the man sitting beside me, as bold (胆大的) as could be, caught a cookie or two from the bag in 44 , which I tried to ignore to avoid a scene. So I ate the cookies noisily and watched the 45 , as the brave cookie thief made the amount of my cookies 46 . I was getting angrier as the minutes ticked by, thinking, If I wasnt so 47 , I would blacken his eye. With each cookie I took, he took one too. When only one was left, I 48 what he would do. With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh, he took the 49 cookie and broke it in half. He offered me half, as he ate the other. I snatched(抢夺) it from him and thoughtooh, brother. This guy is much too rude. Why he didnt even show any gratitude! I had 50 known when I had been so angry and sighed with 51 when my flight was called.
