A

We saw an interesting documentary some days ago. It tells that before you go to another country, it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs(习俗) of the country.

 When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say “How do you do?” and snake hands. Usually they do not shake hands after they haven't met for a long time or when then they will be away from each other for a long time. Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English people hardly shake hands, so when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.

If you are in America or go to American families to have meals, you should learn some table manners. Here are some tips:

Don't circle your plate with your arms. If you do so, you will become the focus(焦点) of the table. Everyone would wonder, "Is there anything wrong with the food?" This may give a wrong message that you don't like the food or something like that.

Don't push the plate back when finished, leave it where it was. Do you want to let the hostess know that you've just done a labor?

Don't lean(倚靠) back and say "I'm through" or "I'm full". Just put the fork and knife across the plate. That's all.

Don't cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites(块) at a time.

Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show how hungry you are? Don't do that.  It's not so good.

It's 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?"

 

66. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?

A. Leave the plate where it was when finished.

B. Cut up one or two bites before you start to eat.

C. Push the plate back where it was.

D. Don't take a huge mouthful of anything.

67. After finishing dinner, you should                 .

B. stand up and leave the table

C. say "I'm full"

D. say "Thank you"

68. If you want a dish far from you at table, you should                 .

A. ask the nearest person for help

B. leave your seat to get it

C. sit there until others help you

D. stand up and reach across the table for it

69. If you are at table and circle your plate with your arms, other people will think                 .

A. you don't like the food

B. the food isn't good for you

C. there is something wrong with the food

D. all above

70. Which can be the best title for this passage?

C

Knowing how to ask for information and help politely is important. In English, "Where are the restrooms?" and "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?" are similar requests(请求) —both are correct English, but the first could sound rude. It's important to use correct language, but sometimes this alone is not enough—we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.

In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, "Where is my book?" this will sound rude. But if you say "Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know where my book is?", your question will sound much more polite. On the other hand, it might be alright to say "Where is my book?" to the people you know well.

And you would not usually say "Peter, lend me your pen.". A very direct order like this can sound rude in English. Usually in English polite questions are longer and include extra(附加的) language, such as "Could you please...?" or "Can I ask...?". It sounds more polite to say "Peter, could you please lend me your pen?". If you stop a stranger in the street, we might first say "Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me." or "I'm sorry to trouble you but…" before asking him for help.

It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true.

 

71. When we make requests, we need to speak in a                  way.

A. polite B. careful C. different D. direct

72. You should say "                " when you ask a stranger for a way.

A. Which is the way to the zoo?

B. How can I get to the zoo?

C. Do you know the way to the zoo?

D. Excuse me. Can you tell me the way to the zoo?

73. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. We should use long sentences when we ask for information and help.

B. When we ask for help from others, polite language must be used.

C. The way of speaking is important when we ask different people for help.

D. In English, polite questions are as necessary as rude and direct ones.

 

D

Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce a child's chance of becoming short-sighted, a research shows. It challenges(挑战) the belief that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.

The Australian government researchers believe that sunlight is good for people's eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.

Both groups spent a similar amount of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However, the Australian children spent an average(平均) of two hours a day outdoors—90 minutes more than the Singaporean children.

Professor(教授) Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council's Vision Centre, said, "Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We're also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world—and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors."

Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people becoming short-sighted.

So be outdoors. It doesn't matter if that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports.

 

74. How much time did the Singaporean children spend outdoors on average every day in the research?

A. 2 hours. B. 90 minutes. C. 1 hour. D. 30 minutes.

75. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?

A. Why people become short-sighted.

B. Why natural light has a special chemical.

C. Why playing outside is good for one's eyesight.

D. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.

76. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. People will all become short-sighted after they begin to go to school.

B. Playing outdoors for 2 or 3 hours every day can help protect your eyesight.

C. Children in Australia are more likely to get short-sighted than those in Singapore.

D. If you spend two or three hours playing outside each day, you won't get short-sighted.

The Secrets of Happiness

77.                 Money and success alone do not bring lasting(长久的) happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.

78.                 Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present(现在). You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. 79.                

Another secret to leading a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as skating or soccer. 80.                

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to help others. 81.                 You can help a friend with his or her lessons, go shopping to buy food for your family members, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

 

A. The second secret of happiness is to do more exercise.

B. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone.

C. People who have brothers and sisters are happier than others.

D. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life.

E. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness.

F. People who have several close friends live happier and healthier lives.

G. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.

Ma Hua graduated from Fudan University. He had a good career in IT and a great life in Shanghai, but he felt there was something missing from his life. He wanted to help others to improve their lives, so in March 2003 he gave up his job. Then he moved to south-west China to do voluntary work in a village primary school.
