内蒙古包头市一机集团一中2014-2015学年高二上学期第一次月考英语试题the customs in different countries are rather different. if i have dinner with a chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as i have emptied it. that often discomforts（让不舒服） me greatly. i have to eat the food even if i do not want to. i have also noticed that when a chinese sits at an americans dinner party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though hes in fact still hungry or thirsty. this might be good manners in china, but it is not in the west at all. in the united states, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something. americans have a direct way of speaking. if they want something, they will ask for it. if not, they will say, “no thanks.” when an american is served with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “no, thanks. ill take some orange juice if you have it.” that is what an american will do. so when you go to the united states, youd better remember the famous saying: “when in rome, do as romans do.”1. from the passage we can see that the writer is _.a. a chinese b. a roman c. an american d. a thailand2. in the west, people consider it bad manners _ .a. to put less food onto his plate b. to ask for something directlyto eat much at a dinner party to keep asking someone to accept something3.“when in rome, do as the romans do” means _ .a. the romans are people of good mannersb. people in the united states want to learn from the romansc. americans always do the same things as the romans dod. you should get used to the local customs wherever you go

years, these school were much alike (similar).only young men went to college. all the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned latin, greek and hebrew. little was known about science

young men who wanted to become doctors. later, lawyers could receive their training in harvards law school. in 1825, besides latin and greek, harvard began teaching modern languages, such as french and german. soon it began teaching american history.as knowledge increased, harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested
