Everyone would wonder, “Is there anything wrong with the food?” This may give a wrong message that you dont like the food of something like that. Dont push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you want to let the hostess know that youve just done a labor? Dont lean (依靠) back and say “Im full”. Just put the fork and knife across the plate. Thats all. Dont cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two pieces at a time. Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Dont you want to show how hungry you are? Dont do that. Its not so good. Its never good to reach across the table for anything. If the thing you want is not at hand, simply ask the nearest person for help, like “Mrs. Smith, could you pass me the dish?”( )1. If the food isnt good, you may circle your plate.( )2. After finishing dinner, you should say “ Im full”.( )3. Its not good to put too much food into your mouth at a time.( )4. You cant stand up to get the food unless it is far from you at the table. ( )5. The passage tells us the table manners at a western dinner.3根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 Learning the language of a country isnt enough. If you want to know the manners of your foreign friends, you will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India should remember that people there are impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India rotating (旋转) movement of the head is to show agreement. In Bulgaria you shake your head to show “yes”- a nod show “no”. In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs while sitting and talking to someone, even at an important meeting. But doing this could cause offence to a Thailander. Also touching the head of a grown-up is just not done in Thailand. Knowing about manners is useful when you are traveling, but you need to know the language used to express for ritual.( ) 1. If youre staying in India, youd better _.A. not use your left hand to pass food at table B. use your left hand to pass food at table C. not use your left hand to wash yourself D. use your left hand impolitely( ) 2. To shake your head means “yes” _.A. in IndiaB. in ChinaC. in BulgariaD. in Thailand( ) 3. You can easily make a Thailander angry by _.A. touching his head B. crossing your legs while you are talking to himC. shaking your head D. Both A and B( ) 4. The writer thinks that to know about a country well one must _.A. only know its language B. only know its manners C. know its manners better that its language D. know its manners and its language( ) 5. You can infer from the passage that _.A. different countries have different mannersB. the manners in Thailand are the same as in China.C. you should be careful not to cross your legs at an important meeting in Europe.D. you should not touch a grown-ups head in India 4阅读短文，选择正确答案。 These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear very formally. But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing. Many British people dont think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas, and concerts you can put on what you like - from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy. But in British, as well as the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties. In many ways, Americans are less formal than British people, but they are careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes. It is difficult to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You will feel more comfortable if you dont look too different from anyone else.( ) 1. People in Britain and the US wear informal clothes when they _.A. go out enjoy themselvesB. are in offices C. are in big restaurants D. go out to work( ) 2. At a concert business people wear _.A. sweaters B. whatever they like C. what others wearD. like players( ) 3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Women are usually not allowed to wear trousers in offices.B. Lawyers always wear formal clothes even though they are at home.C. American people are more relaxed in their clothes that British people.D. Though everyone is different, they wear the same clothes in offices.( ) 4. “Anything goes” in the second paragraph means _.A. any clothes are acceptableB. anything leavesC. all the things around are all rightD. not any clothes are all right( ) 5. Men wear ties when _ in the US.A. they meet their wivesB. they meet good friendsC. they eat something expensiveD. they have dinners in good restaurants5阅读短文，根据其内容完成下面的表格。 Li Ming is presently studying English in New York. He has not been there long, and he is quite amazed at the great differences between American and Chinese cultures. For one thing, Americans and Chinese are different in arranging a visit. Chinese tend to call on their friends unexpectedly. Americans, on the other hand, prefer making and appointment in advance (提前). An unexpected visitor is regarded as impolite.For another thing, their table manners differ. Chinese usually eat directly from the serving dish. And during the meal, the hosts may keep putting food on the guests plates. An American, however, only eats from his own plate. He never picks up food for others unless he is asked to do so. Moreover, they have different ways in responding to complimenting remarks. When a Chinese hostess is praised for her cooking skills, for instance, she will instantly apologize for being a poor cook. Yet an American hostess is likely to accept it, “Oh, Im glad you liked it. I cooked it especially for you.” At the beginning, it was hard for Li Ming to get used to things around him because of these cultural differences. But soon, he succeeded in adjusting to their way of doing things. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do,” hed like to say when he was asked how he could get along in a new culture.

It is a day for lovers, and one of the loveliest holidays in the United States.Very few Americans know the story of Valentine s Day. One English story tells that birds select their mates on February 14Another story says that more than 2,000 years ago the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container. Boys reached their hands into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet heart for a year. Then came a Roman priest Valentinus, who secretly married many young lovers against the Roman king s order. The Roman Emperor got angry and ordered the killing of Valentinus on February 14, 269 AD.It is very popular to send cards decorated with hearts and flowers to express love. Today many Americans like to exchange humorous cards with their husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, relatives, and even special friends. Some enjoy the joke of sending “Guess Who” cards to a person he or she secretly admires. Sometimes they put their love message in a heart - shaped box of chocolates, or a bunch of flowers tied with red ribbons（丝带）. Candy, perfume, jewelry or a picture with a heart and Cupid（ the Roman God of love）, who is armed with a bow and arrow, are also sent to express love. Many couples arrange romantic dinners by candle light for this occasion. Universities also hold a Sweetheart Ball for the young students to celebrate Valentine s Day.（ ）1Valentinus was a_.AkingBpriestCsoldierDcollege student（ ）2According to the text, nowadays on Valentine s Day university students willAput a letter in a bottleBtake part in a Sweetheart BallCsend cards the persons they loveDhave dinner with their friends（ ）3The passage is mainly aboutAan introduction of Valentine s DayBfestivals in the western countriesChow students celebrate Valentine s DayDthe story of a brave priest（ ）4Which of the following is true according to the text?A“Guess Who” card must be sent with candies.Bfamily members don t celebrate Valentine s day togetherCall the Americans know the history of Valentine s dayDa saying of Valentine s day has something to do with birds（C）PARENTS are the closest people to you in the world. They love you just because you re you. And they would do anything for you.Like a lot of middle school students, Zhuang Shuxia has a problem. She and her parents dont get on well. “I really want to be my Daddy s little girl. But it feels like he just doesnt understand. He talks at me and doesn t listen,” said Zhuang, a Junior 3 student in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.Do you and your parents also have problems?Well, why dont you all take a walk and have a talk on Saturday? It s the International Day of Families. On May 15, people around the world give thanks for good things about their families and work on family problems.A study last year showed that 1,500 Beijing families had the same problem as Zhuang s family: The children, 12 to 15 years old, didnt like talking with their parents much.
