It is wrong for people to think that accidents occur only on the roads or highways, or even at worksites. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people tend to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes.There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from high-rise flats. Children often fall from staircases while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip on wet or slippery floors if they are not careful.Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances, such as rice-cookers, electric irons, and kettles which make life easy for the modern housewives. These appliances (家用电器) can kill if they are not used in the proper way.Gas stoves used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or even cause fires. But all such accidents can be prevented if we are careful and obey simple rules of safety.1. Accidents take place_.A. mostly in homes B. mostly on roads and highwaysC. mostly on worksites and factories D. almost everywhere2. People think accidents happen only on the roads or highways because_. A. there are more road accidents B. many home accidents are not reportedC. home accidents are not serious D. such accidents happen nearly every day.3. Which of the following is true about the modern electrical appliances? A. They are dangerous for modern housewives B. They are very dangerous and should not be used. C. They are usually safe if we obey the rules of safety. D. They are not dangerous even if they are used carelessly. B. Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family. When she was young, she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father. As a child, she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them. At last, her mind was made up. “Im going to be a nurse,” she decided. “Nursing isnt the right work for a lady,” her father told her. “Then I will make it so,” she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for women. During the Crimean War in 1854, she went with a group of thirty-eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled, but the brave nurses went to work. Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicines and food for the meal. Her only pay was the smiles from the dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman. After war, she returned to England and was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honour nurses today.4. When she was a child, Florence_. A. wrote a book on public health B. knew what her duty in life was C. loved to help the sick people D. was most interested in music and drawing5. During the Crimean War in 1854, Florence served in the front hospital where_. A. she earned a lot of money B. work was very difficultC. few soldiers died because of her work D. she didnt have enough food and clothes6. Why was Florence honoured by Queen Victoria? A. She built the Nightingale Home for Nurses. B. Because of her old age. C. She worked as a nurse all her life.D. She did a great deal of work during the Crimean War.7. The passage can best be described as _. A. the life story of a famous woman B. a description of the nursing work C. an example of successful education D. the history of nursing in England CSometimes people add to what they say even when they dont talk. Gestures(手势) are the “silent language” of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place hand on the others arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug(拥抱).Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, They usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space, if Americans touch another person by accident, they say. “Pardon me.” Or “Excuse me.” Americans like to look at the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you dont do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or not interested, But when you stare at someone, it is not polite.For Americans, thumbs（拇指）-up means yes, very good, or well done. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with you hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold(谴责) them and pat them on the head when they admire them.Learning a cultures body language is sometimes confusing. If you dont know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.8. From the first paragraph we can learn that _. A. gestures dont mean anything while talking B. gestures can help us to express ourselves C. we can understand a person well without body language D. only American people can use gestures9.

We can call a waiter by making a movement with our hand.11. If you talk with an American friend, its polite to _. A. look up and down at your friend B. look at your friend C. stare at your friend D. look at your watch now and then12. When your friend gives you the thumbs-up, he, probably_. A. shows his rudeness to you B. shows his anger to you C. expresses his satisfaction to you D. expresses his worries about you DWhat do you think students abroad at your age eat for lunch at school? JapanHigh schools operate canteens(小卖部), which serve everything from noodles to curry(咖喱食品), but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, and vegetables.Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition(营养) and calorific value. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers(剩饭) at the end of the month receives a certificate（证书）. The United States A typical menu from a US school consists of (由组成) a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, bean, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances of protein, vitaminA, vitamin C, iron, calcium, and calories. AustraliaMeat pies, sausage rolls and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation battles childhood obesity(肥胖症), healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labelled-foods, including pastries(油酥), chocolate and soft drinks, is limited to only twice a week. Healthier green-labelled foods such as sandwiches, corn and watermelon are provided every day. South Africa Most of South Africas schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30pm and students get their own hunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches. Fast food, fried food and crisps sell the best among students. This has let to a rise in obesity among children. But some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are provided with hunches of porridge with vegetables, such as onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.13. Which of the following is true about high schools in Japan? A.

Lunch at school C. Food and health D. Food and traffic light. E“How are you?” is a nice question. Its a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. Its a question that often doesnt have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” expects to hear the answer “Fine” even if the persons friend isn t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isnt really a question and “Fine” isnt really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” and “Hi”.Sometimes people also dont say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?”, the other person might be thinking, “No, I disagree. I think youre wrong.”, But it isnt very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say, “Im not sure.” Its a nicer way to say to say when you dont agree with someone
