The French are the best. Its the Germans who dont have a good habit of standing in line. They cant stand to wait for anything. They begin to shout loudly and noisily if the line doesnt seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast enough for them.The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line to get tickets, to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people who are good at forming (排成) queues feel that they move along faster. For example, in Britain, the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a half minutes. In Germany or Sweden people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend double the time as the British in queues. They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others time.The expert who did the research had asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do. In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said, I m terribly sorry. I didnt realize there was a queue. Do go before me. People smiled and said. Oh, thats all right, one more wont matter much. It was also found in France, where 80 of the people didnt mind standing in line only if they were treated politely. While in Germany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face. The expert said, If only they could learn from the British and the French to think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing, they might find that the queue then moves faster.（1）The research shows that the people in _ are the most polite in standing in line.A . SwedenB . BritainC . FranceD . Germany（2）The Germans spend more time than the British in queues because they _.A . always talk a lot with othersB . like waiting in lineC . dont follow the rule of queuingD . dont know the rule of queuing（3）According to the research, which of the following is TRUE ?A .

The Swedish enjoyed themselves while queuing.（4）From the last sentence we know the expert wished the Germans could_.A . have a good habit of standing in lineB . save others time while queuingC . move quickly when queuingD . take exercise in queues（5）The result of the research shows that_.A . people in Europe hate waiting in lineB . standing in line is a kind of exerciseC . there are always queue jumpers all over the worldD . people who are good at standing in line think they move along faster四、 根据句意及所给中文提示、英文解释或首字母，写出句中所缺单词， (共10题；共10分)21. （1分）Aries，dont forget to make a l_before you go shopping 22. （1分）My little brother likes music，so he wants to_(加入)the Music Club23. （1分）It was a hard_(决定)but I felt I made the fight one24. （1分）Eating too much salt _(增加)the risk of high blood pressure. 25. （1分）Can you make a s_with “if”? 26. （1分）I plan to travel to several _(欧洲的) countries this summer vacation. 27. （1分）He p_ me, and I fell into the water. 28. （1分）I like English best.
