About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的). No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .Learning the language of a country isnt enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesnt agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty. In that country, you shake your head to mean yes a nod means no. At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up. If you think that you have had enough, you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe its quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble. Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult its just not done in Thailand .（1）The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _.A . were foreignersB . didnt have ticketsC . made a loud noiseD . didnt line up for the bus（2）Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A . If you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you only need to learn the language of the country.B . In India it is considered polite to touch an adults head.C . To cross ones legs at an important meeting in Europe is a common habit.D . In Bulgaria, if you dont want to drink, you should cover the cup with your hand.（3）The best title for this article is _.A . Peoples Everyday LifeB . Mind Your MannersC . Habit is quite importantD . Language and customs13. （10分）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。Have you ever dreamed of spending a night in a Ferris wheel?

Some parents send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia, regardless of how much this costs. Many also want their children to take extra-curriculum activities (课外活动) where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a better start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend a large amount of money on education. Even poor parents manage to buy a computer for their son or daughter.In fact, most parents fail to see that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their childrens skills are different; they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. However, they fail to realize that todays children are lack (缺乏) of self-respect and self-confidence.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take exams and how to study effectively. They are not teaching them the most important skills they need. They do not teach them to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job step by step. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence. All these will help the children step to success in the future.An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and arouse(唤醒) his interest. If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to mend it; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Such activities do more than teaching a child to read a book. They teach them to think and to use their minds. This is much more important than learning by reading a book.（1）Is the writer satisfied with the Chinese parentsideas of educating their children?（2）Put the underlined sentence “the more expensive an education is, the better it is” into Chinese.（3）What are the children lack of today?（4） How is the experience of cooking according to the fifth paragraph?（5）What does the underlined word “They” refer to(所指的是) in the last paragraph?15. （10分） British people are famous for drinking tea.

Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to drop these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.First, look at why you do it. In other words, whats the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, youll find that its not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? Im sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.（1）From the first paragraph we know that
