People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid (液体) food. But it’s different in China. And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making noises when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. But it is regarded as bad manners in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp”(打嗝) after you finish eating, Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’re having a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad manners eating with left hands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do. You can ask the native (本土的)people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them.

试题分析:
小题1:通过in Japan you even needn’t worry about making noises when you have it.可知,在日本,当你喝东西时,可以出声音。所以本题选B。
小题2:In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid (液体) food本句的意思是“在英国,当你喝东西时,你一定不要将碗放到嘴边喝。”可知C“用碗直接喝汤.”是不礼貌的。所以本题选C。
小题3:通过 after you finish eating可知,是吃完饭后,而不是吃饭时,故A是错误的;文中说喝东西时,可以有声音,但没说吃东西时,故B是错误的;通过 it’s different in China.可知,在中国吃东西时,也是有声音的,故C是错误的;通过But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand可知,本题应该选D。
小题4:通过People in different countries have different ways of doing things一句和阅读全文,可知,本文主要讲述了不同国家的餐桌礼仪。所以本题选B。

There are many wetlands (湿地) in China and some of them have become the world‘s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve(自然保护区) is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
  The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife.

When I was a foreign teacher in China,every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China.One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”.I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers,nor had their mothers said it to them.“Does your mom love you?” “Of course,”they answered.
“How do you know it?” was my logical question.They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring.I was strummed. So mom"s cooking and criticizing read out as “I love you”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough,so I repeated these queries in classes over time.Gradually,I began to get different responses.Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl.When she came home from university,her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱)her.This had never happened before,but her mom said,“Now that you have gone I have more time to myself.”I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot.While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment,and it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
小题1:The foreign teacher _________.
A.comes from AmericaB.is a young woman
C.is expressive enoughD.knows much about China
小题2:Chinese students prefer to show love by __________.

A.She is meeting her daughter at the door.
B.She loves her daughter and misses her.
C.She is glad that she has more time to herself.
D.She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
小题4:In paragraph 5, what can we know from the sentence “ In my family we all say ‘I love you’ a lot” ?
A.“I love you.” is a daily greeting.
B.“ Love” is the most important word in our country.
C.They worry about each other.
D.“I love you” are the last words we say or hear from those we love.
小题5:What"s the main idea of the passage?

C.Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.
D.Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.

Old Cremona Violins
Most musicians(音乐家) agree that the best violins(小提琴) were first made in Cremona, Italy, about 200 years ago. These violins sound better than any others. They even sound better than violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments(乐器) like the Italian violins. But they aren’t the same. Musicians still prefer the old ones.
Some people think it is the age of the violins. But not all old violins sound wonderful. Only the old violins from Cremona are special(特殊的). So age cannot be the answer.
Other people think the secret to those violins is the wood. The wood must be from certain kinds of trees.
But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape(形状). The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this was the secret of the Italians. Maybe they understood more than we do about how to cut the wood.
Size and shape may not be the answer, either. Scientists can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish. Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin. It makes the wood look shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. But no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish.
小题1:The passage is about          .
A.making violinsB.musical instruments
C.scientific ideasD.the old Italian violins
小题2:Other people think the Italian violin makers          .
A.did not know much about violinsB.were lucky
C.used many kinds of woodD.knew something special
小题3:Violins made today          .
A.have the same size and shape as the old ones
B.sound the same as the old ones
C.are better than the old ones
D.have the same varnish as the old ones
小题4:Some scientists believe that the secret of the old violins was          .
A.their soundB.their colourC.their varnishD.the music
