manners in one place are bad manners in other places.if you are a visitor in the land of mongolia and some friends ask you to eat with them, what kind of manners do they want you to have? they want you to give a loud “burp”（打嗝）after you finish eating. burping will show that you like your food. in some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say, “excuse me, please.”in many places

(b)a well-dressed man came into a famous jewellery shop. he explained that he wished to buy a pearl（珍珠）for his wifes birthday and that the price didnt matter since business had been very good for him that year. after examining a number of beautiful and valuable pearls, he chose a nice black one that cost $5000. he paid for the pearl, shook hands with the jeweler(珠宝商) and left.a few days later the man returned and said his wife had liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. it had to be exactly the same size and quality as she wanted a pair of earrings made. “ can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?” said the man. the jeweller replied, “i would say its nearly impossible to find an exact one like that pearl.”the rich man asked the jeweller to advertise in the newspapers, and offered 25 000 for the matching pearl. many people answered the ad, but nobody had a pearl that was just right. just when the jeweller had given up hope, a little old lady came in. to his surprise, she pulled the wonderful pearl from her handbag. “i dont like to sell it,” she said sadly. “i inherited（继承）it from my mother, and my mother inherited from hers. but now

poor, so he had to work in his spare time during his holidays to pay for his education. in spite of this, he managed to get to the university, but it was so expensive to study there that during the holidays he found it necessary to get two jobs at the same time so as to make enough money to pay for his studies.one summer he managed to get a job in a butchers shop（肉店） during the day time, and another in the hospital at night. in the shop, he learned to cut meat up quite nicely, so the butcher often left him to do all the serving while he went into a room behind the shop to do the accounts. in the hospital, on the other hand, he was, of course, allowed to do only the simplest jobs, like helping to lift people and to carry them from one part of the hospital to another. both at the butchers and at the hospital, dick had to wear white clothes.one evening at the hospital dick had to help to carry a woman from her bed to the place where she was to have an operation. the woman was already feeling frightened at the thought of the operation before he came to get her. but when she saw dick, that finished her.“no, no!” she cried, “not my butcher. i wont be operated on by my

activities for midday.d.keep a rosemary plant in your office.e.take 10 minutes for some indoor exercises.f.head outside and sit in the daylight for 10 minutes.ways to beat the afternoon slump at workafter working for a long morning, you may feel tired in the office in the afternoon, especially when you have nothing to do or are doing the same job for years.how can you beat the afternoon slump (情绪低落) at work? here are some tips:61._better still, have your lunch outside and divide your break between eating and a walk. it will help reset your body clock, keep down the amount of melatonin (the sleep hormone) your body produces during this dip and give your a valuable improvement of benificial vitamin d, reducing your risk of osteoporosis(骨质疏松症)as well as various cancers.62._this is not a license to overindulge(放纵)，but dark chocolate does have some unique advantages.unlike milk chocolate, it it truly a healthy food, closer to the category of nuts than sweets, with the high levels of healthy fat and other nutrients it contains.plus, it has abundant fiber and magnesium(镁). additionally, it provides a little caffeine, so dont eat more than one square.63._if you often work on your own, try to organize work involving others at the time of day when your concentration might otherwise become less strong. we are social animals, and interactions(相互作用) always speed us up. but make sure its an interesting, interactive activity. sitting in a room, listening to someone else speaking in a boring ,low voice will certainly send you to sleep.64._not only will sharing your space with a live, growing thing provide its own mood boost, but the smell of rosemary is energizing(给人以活力的) . whenever you need a boost, just rub a leaf between your fingers to release the smell into the air. or, if youre really wiped out, rub a leaf on your hands, face and neck.65._indoor exercises involve nothing more than tensing a muscle and holding it. for instance, with your arms held out, tense your muscle at the same time and hold for 5 to 10 seconds. you can do any exercise that can release your tiredness or boredom. it will give you a chance to rest or refresh yourself.第三部分 写作（满分55分）第一节 单词拼写
