Teaching good manners to kids is very important. It’s best to let them develop good table manners when they are young. So they can carry these when they grow up.
Good eating manners begin with good table manners. Tell your kids that dinner time is family time. There should be no mobile phones or text messages at the table. Instead, mealtime should be used for talking about family things.
Kids should say “please” and “thank you” when asking for things on the table. They should not reach over(越过)other people to get things that they want.
Teach your children not to eat with their mouths open or talk with their mouths full. If it’s hard for them to understand, try showing them how it looks and sounds. When they see this, they’ll understand how they look to other people. They should also eat slowly and take small bites(咬).
Washing hands before and after eating is important to health. When eating at a friend’s house, tell your kids to remember to thank the host for the meal. Let them put their own dishes in the sink after dinner. For elder children, they can help do the dishes.
31. It is best for kids to learn ________ when they’re young.
A. right table manners B. some family things C. how to wash hands D. the meaning of family
32. What should NOT kids do according to(根据)the text?
A. B. C. D.
33. The word “sink” means ________ in Chinese.
A. 冰箱 B. 水槽 C. 碗橱 D. 铁锅
34. From the text we know that kids ________.
A. can only talk about school things during mealtime B. can reach over people to get things when eating
C. should thank the host for the meal after eating D. should eat as quickly as possible while eating
35. The main idea of the text is ________.
A. asking kids to help parents cook B. teaching kids about good manners
C. what kids should do to eat happily D. what kids should eat to keep fit
C
I felt very sad because I was not able to get a ticket to the film Hero last Friday. I learned from the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 a. m. and 4:00 p. m. As I work from 9:00 a. m. to 5:30 p. m., the only time I can go to the theater is during my 45 minutes’ lunchtime. It is a pity that the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my company(公司)and Richland Hills is not very good. But if I am lucky, I can make the round trip in 45 minutes.
Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip, so I had to go back. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theater in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man said he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I found I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town.
By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theater, I was glad to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had sold out all the tickets.
36. It seems that the writer of the story works as ________.
A. a teacher B. a doctor C. a soldier D. an office worker
37. The writer tried to go to the theater every day, but really got there ________.
A. twice B. three times C. four times D. five times
38. We can learn from the underlined sentence(划线句子)that the writer was ________.
A. sorry B. worried C. surprised D. disappointed
39. In the end, the writer got ________ ticket(s).
A. no B. one C. two D. three
40. What do you think of the writer in the text?
A. Helpful. B. Careless. C. Crazy. D. Polite.
D
In our lives, we should often be ready for change that will help us unlock (释放) our self-improvement power. However, we don’t always understand it. We think of unlocking our self-improvement power only when everything gets worse.
When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off.
Most of us will learn about unlocking our self-improvement power only when the whole world falls apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change. However, change becomes more painful when we pay no attention to it.
Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power, not because the world says so, but because we realize it’s good for ourselves.
Happy people don’t just accept change; they welcome it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.
Jane always tells everyone that she is afraid of being around groups of people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd comes, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!
If we look at things in a different way, we might have greater fun. Doing exercise three times a week would lead to a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process (过程) of unlocking our self-improvement power, will we realize that we can take things light and become happy.
41. What’s the writing purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. To tell a story. B. To solve a problem.
C. To give an example. D. To ask a question.
42. What advice might be given to help solve Jane’s problem?
A. Always believe in herself. B. Get on with people in a friendly way.
C. Unlock herself out of the box of thought. D. Count the days until she is fully improved.
43. We should put the following sentence at the end of ________.
We see the warning signs when things get difficult.
A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5
44. Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It’s not easy for people to make a change.
B. People will unlock their self-improvement power when they realize it is helpful.
C. Unlocking self-improvement powers means changing the usual way to think of oneself.
D. People can’t have fun when they see things differently.
45. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Is It Important to Take Things Light?
B. Is It Necessary to Believe in Yourselves?
C. To Hold on to The Last Moment or to Give Up?
D. To Unlock Ourselves out of the Box of Thought or to Stay in It?
