阅读理解。     The survey showed that the top choice for both parents and teens was to go out for a family meal. This is
ideal for those who don"t have much time to spare because the occasion can be made to feel special while the
whole family can stay together for a couple of hours or less. Make sure that everyone has a say in where they"d
like to eat. In case you don"t go to one person"s suggested restaurant this time then avoid disputes by suggesting
you to there another day.
     The second favorite choice for spending quality time was to go on a family holiday. This can be one of the
most effective ways to engage with your teen in a fun and relaxing setting away from the distractions (使人分
心的事) of normal daily life. What"s more, you"ll return home with shared memories to cherish forever.
     If you"re looking for something slightly less expensive and time-consuming than a holiday, plan a day trip
instead. Day trips were considered by more teenagers than parents. in the survey as a good way to spend quality
time. Unsurprisingly, more teens than parents also said that they"d like to go to a theme park. But if the thought
of roller coasters and long queues leaves you feeling uncomfortable, perhaps consider a day out to another town
or city, going shopping or catching a movie at the cinema instead.
     If you"ve got a sporty teen, try taking part in physical activity with him. Whatever it takes to get your blood
pumping, having fun will be well worth it. Although if you"re rather athletically challenged, try something a bit
more sedate, like bowling (保龄球). Also, energetic and curious teens often enjoy outdoor activities, such as
camping, so why not put yourself to the challenge and see where the spirit of adventure takes you both?
     But don"t worry if the thought of such exertion (努力) makes either of you break out in a cold sweat. Time
spent one-on-one at home just enjoying each other"s company can be equally-if not more-valuable as any other. 1. .If you plan to eat out, it is better ____. A. to go to your favorite restaurant
B. to finish eating within two hours
C. to choose the best food they like
D. to give kids a chance to choose the restaurant 2. If you go to a theme park, what may bother you? A. Too many park goers.
B. Too expensive tickets.
C. The long distance.
D. Busy schedules. 3. The underlined word "sedate" in Paragraph 4 probably means ____.A. rough
B. tiring
C. adventurous
D. quiet 4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Staying with kids in any way benefits.
B. You needn"t worry about being with kids.
C. Too much worry does harm to your health.
D. Time spent one-on-one is the most precious.

     Do you remember the game "Telephone"? A message gets passed from person to person, and everyone
laughs at how distorted (曲解) it becomes. As a game, telephone can be fun. In real life, sending messages
through third parties fouls things up. It is important for family members who have "business" with other
family members to take it up directly.
     When tension arises in a relationship between two people, a frequent way of dealing with this is to send
messages through a third person. Family doctors refer to the process as triangulation. Following a quarrel,
a mother may say to her son, "Tell your father to pass the salt," which may be answered by, "Tell your
mother to get her own salt." In many long cases of triangulation, the middleman becomes severely disturbed. 
     Two years ago, Ruth and Ralph Gordon brought their 17-year-old daughter for treatment. Lucille was
not doing well in school, using drugs heavily. When I began to work with her, she was uncommunicative
and aggressive. After some time, however, she opened up and told me her parents rarely talked to each other,
but both used her as a middleman. Mrs. Cordon was sexually unsatisfied and suggested to Lucille that she
ask her father to go for marriage advice. Mr. Cordon told Lucille that he was seeing another woman, and he
urged Lucille to speak to her mother about improving her behaviour. Caught in this confusing situation, Lucille
became more and more troubled. It wasn"t until she refused to play middleman that she began to improve.
When either parent began to send a message through her, she learned to say, "Tell him/her yourself!"
     You"ll find that when family members learn to dial each other directly, there"s rarely a busy signal or wrong
number. With direct dialing, a sense of freshness is created.
1. The underlined words "fouls things up" in the 1st paragraph means, ____.
A. create things
B. improve things
C. remove things
D. ruins things
2. "triangulation" in the second sentence of the 2nd paragraph refers to ____.
A. the process of sending messages through a 3rd person
B. the middleman who becomes severely disturbed
C. the tension in a relationship between two people
D. the argument between a mother and a father
3. Through the example of Lucille and her parents, the writer hopes to tell the readers that ____.
A. family members should learn to get their messages across directly
B. parents should send their children taking drugs for treatment
C. children can hardly get used to their parents" troubles
D. children should refuse the requests of their parents

     One thing Britain is famous for is pubs, and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of
the thousands of pubs across the country.
     Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country. They are places where all ages and social
classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.

     There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and
is usually served at room temperature. As a result, the British are famous for their "warm beer"!
     If you prefer a cold beer, ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in colour whereas bitter is usually a darker
brown. Another type of beer is stout-you may have heard of Guinness, which is a type of stout. This is a cold,
black beer and takes a long time to pour, so don"t be surprised if you have to wait for it.
     All beers are served as pints (500 ml) or halves (250 ml). To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and
then name the beer. So, you could say "_____".
     Another drink is cider. This is like beer, but it is made from apples so it can taste sweet. Wine, red or white,
is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka. These are served as singles (25ml) o
r doubles (50 ml).
     It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol. Non-alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have
juice, lemonade or cola, among others.
     If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your "round". This means that you buy a drink for
everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake. Remember that you need to order and
pay for your drinks at the bar.
     So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, "cheers!"
1. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)
    _______________________________________________________________________________________
2. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? If you don"t buy a drink for everyone
     in your group, you are socially wrong. 
    _______________________________________________________________________________________
3. Please fill in the blank in the fifth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please
    answer within 10 words.) 
    _______________________________________________________________________________________
4. If you are in a pub, what would you like to drink? Why? (Please answer within 30 words.) 
    _______________________________________________________________________________________
5. Translate the underlined sentence in the second paragraph into Chinese. 
    _______________________________________________________________________________________

     It tastes just like chicken away from home, and eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full.
It is a language all its own, and no words can say "Glad to meet you...glad to be doing business with you..."
quite like sharing a meal offered by your host.
     Clearly, mealtime is not the time for you to say, "No, thanks." Acceptance of the food on your plate means
acceptance of host, country, and company. So, no matter how difficult it may be to swallow, swallow. Or,
as one experienced traveler says, "Travel with a cast-iron stomach and eat everything everywhere."
     Often, the food offered represents proudly your host country"s eating culture. What would Ataiericans think
of a French person who refused to take a bite of homemade apple pie or sirloin? Our discomfort comes not
so much from the thing itself; it comes from our unfamiliarity with it. After all, an oyster has remarkably the
same look as a sheep"s eye; and a first look at a lobster would remind almost anybody of a creature from a
science fiction movie, not something you dip in butter and eat. By the way, in Saudi Arabia sheep"s eyes are
a famous dish.
     Can you refuse such food without being rude? Most experienced business travelers say no, at least not
before taking at least a few bites. It helps, though, to slice any item very thin. This way, you minimize the
taste and the reminder of where it came from. Or, "Swallow it quickly," as one traveler recommends. "I still
can"t tell you what sheep"s eyeballs taste like." As for dealing with taste, the old line that "It tastes just like
chicken" is often thankfully true. Even when "it" is really rat or snake.
     Another useful piece of advice is not knowing what you are eating. What"s for dinner? Don"t ask. Avoid
glancing into the kitchen or looking at English-language menus. Your host will be pleased that you are eating
the food he offers, and who knows? Maybe it really is chicken in that soup.
1. The purpose of the article is to _____.
A. introduce unfamiliar food
B. share the writer"s personal experiences
C. suggest ways to overcome a cultural barrier in eating
D. advise on how to politely refuse to eat foreign food
2. According to the writer, people hesitate at strange food mainly due to _____.
A. the way it looks
B. safety worries
C. lack of information about it
D. the unfamiliar atmosphere
3. From the article we can infer that _____.
A. an American may feel comfortable with sirloin
B. one should refuse strange food after a few bites
C. English-language menus are not always dependable
D. one needs a cast-iron stomach to travel in any country
4. One may say "It tastes just like chicken" when _____.
A. showing respect for chicken-loving nations
B. greeting people with different dieting habits
C. evaluating chefs at an international food festival
D. getting someone to try a visually unpleasant meal
