They went to the supermarket in the new shopping center. “Why do you buy things here?” Tracy wanted to know. “Because they are cheaper here than at the corner store near our home,” Mrs. Smith said. “Help me check the prices, please.” The Smiths were not rich and Mrs. Smith was always careful with her money. She looked carefully at the prices of things. She bought lots of things in the supermarket. When they got home, the children said, “We don’t think you saved money by going to the supermarket.” “Of course I did,” Mrs. Smith said. “Everything was cheaper there.” “We know,” the children said, “but we came home by taxi because we had too much to carry.

They are part of their national identity (特性), as well as having fish and chips and complaining about the weather. Recently I read online that they say “sorry” up to eight times a day. After some research I have not been able to find any specific reasons why they are like this. I suppose, for centuries, manners, including how they behave at table and talk to other people have been one of the differences between the lower and upper classes and those manners show their social classes. Britain has traditionally been a quite conservative (保守的) country. There are many articles suggesting that their seemingly polite attitude of always saying “please” and “thank you” is quite false because it is impossible for a person to always feel that he or she wants to thank someone or say “please”. Maybe it is for this reason that people are going one of two ways: they are too polite and hold back their feelings or they are not polite at all and express their true feelings directly. Some British people are tired of pretending that they are always happy and having to please others. But sometimes because they feel they have to be polite, they are prevented from saying what they truly think. 1．What don’t the British people often do? A．Eating fish and chips. B．Having no good manners. C．Being polite to others. D．Talking about the weather. 2．The British people say “_________” up to eight times every day. A．hello B．thank you C．I don’t know D．sorry 3．According to the passage, why are the British people so polite? ① The upper classes should have good manners. ② They have learned much about politeness at school. ③ They like to hold back their true feelings. ④ They are not honest at all. A．①② B．③④ C．①③ D．②④ 4．What does the underlined word “pretending” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Planing. B．Acting. C．Imagining. D．Tasting. 5．Which can be the best title for this passage? A．Why British People Are So Polite B．British People Should Not Be So Polite C．How to Learn the British Manners D．It’s Time to Change Our Manners （4） Every English learner needs to know how to ask for something in English. There are a number of ways to do this. If you know someone has something, you can ask for it with a polite question. If you don’t know, it’s possible to ask for something with a yes or no question. Be careful not to use the direct expressions. In other words, don’t say “Give me that”, but ask kindly as the following examples, “Do you have a pen I could borrow?” “Is there any wine?” “Did you buy any bread?” If you know or see someone has something, ask a polite question with “could”, “may” or “might”. It’s also possible to use “can” in some special situations. In the past, “can” was not used when people asked for something, but meant ability. In the UK, people mainly use “Can you lend me…?” or “Can I have…?” In the US, this is still considered to be wrong and “May I have…?” is preferred. It’s common to use “Could you lend/hand/give…?” You can also use “May/Can I borrow…?” “Could/Can you lend me…?” “May I have…?” “Could you hand/give me…?” Do not begin a sentence with “please”, but you can add “please” at the end of the sentence to be polite. 1．What can we ask if we know someone has something? A．A direct question. B．A no question. C．A yes question. D．A polite question. 2．What didn’t people say when they wanted something politely in the past? A．Can I use your dictionary? B．Could you lend me your bike? C．May I try your computer now? D．Might I take your car today? 3．Which of the following is a correct polite expression according to the passage? A．Do you give me any milk, please? B．Please could you lend me your ruler? C．May I have some tea, please? D．Please could you hand me a knife? 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．How to express or ask politely. B．What to do when we are polite. C．How to describe our ideas. D．What to do with our language problems. 5．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． （5） Some people have a very poor sense（感觉）of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time. When I was a little girl, I never dared ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk round in circle and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to. Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.” Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting. When I just got to my office, the secretary showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight! 1．What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 2? A．有目的地 B．碰巧 C．错误地 D．匆忙地 2．Why would the writer say “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”, when someone asks her the way somewhere? A．Because the writer is afraid of giving people wrong directions. B．Because the writer doesn’t want to tell strangers. C．Because the writer has no time. D．Because the writer is a stranger here. 3．The Friendship Building is the place where the writer ________. A．lives B．studies C．works D．teaches 4．The underlined word “embarrassed” in the last paragraph means “________”. A．困惑的 B．尴尬的 C．激动的 D．拮据的 5．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The writer is too shy to give others directions. B．The man was quite nervous when he saw the writer. C．The writer never got lost when she was young. D．The writer has a very poor sense of directions. （6） Many people often meet such a difficult situation. It’s that they don’t know the way in new places, and they are too shy to ask people for the way. 1 Firstly, you must know some important and useful expressions, such as “Could you please…?” “Excuse me” and “Thanks a lot”. For example, when we want to ask strangers for the way, we should say “Excuse me’’ first. This is a very useful expression. 2 Next, “Could you please …?’’ is often used while asking for the direction. 3 It’s also polite to shake hands with the strangers. Secondly we often need to take some useful thing with us. They usually include pens, special maps, photos and so on. 4 We can write down the crucial (关键性的) words about the place, and then we can show them to the stranger who we want to ask for help. Of course, the map can help us find the correct way. 5 Then we can use the map to know the directions and find the right place. A．Sometimes a pen can help us get to the right place. B．In the USA, people also use it in many different situations. C．After we know how to get to the place, we should say “Thanks” to others. D．When we go to a strange place, we can take a map with us. E．Here are two tips on how to ask for the way politely. （7） When we get lost or try to find a place, we usually ask for directions (方向). Here are some tips for us to follow when we ask for directions. Use polite expressions (礼貌用语) We must start a talk with polite expressions. 1 And don’t forget to finish with a “thank you” and “have a nice day”. Remember some useful words People often use some words to ask for directions. It can be very useful to remember frequently (经常) visited places. We should also know prepositions of place, such as next to, across from, between and behind. 2 3 We should use the right words. We can ask a specific (精确的) question to get a specific answer. For example, when we want to find a post office, we could ask “ 4 ” or “Where is the post office?” Don’t be afraid of using landmarks (地标). Every city in the world has its own landmarks. 5 For example, in London, England, the important landmark is Big Ben. A．Know how to ask a question. B．Is there a post office around here? C．We could say “hello” or “excuse me” first. D．With the help of the words, we can find a place easily. E．We can save search (搜索) time if we know the landmarks. （8） We were lucky enough to have a trip to Dubai（迪拜）last year. This city has grown out of the desert only in the past few years. It is amazing. We stayed in the Downtown area, very close to the Dubai Mall. 1 The free-standing building is the tallest in the world's biggest malls. Dubai is hot. It's built on a desert overlooking the Arabian sea. Temperatures when we were there were well over 40℃. 2 But the buildings are linked（连接）together so you don't need to be outside for long. We were told before we visited Dubai that it was the type of place where foreigners were not welcome. How wrong they were! People were more than accepting of different cultures. Dubai is the most welcoming place we have ever been to. 3 4 No litter, no smoking on every corner. The roads are so wide that there is no real traffic. Also, Dubai is simply safe, yet there are not police around. Dubai is all about fun. The food we enjoyed in Dubai was out of this world. 5 根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 A．Everyone we met was friendly. B．Dubai is by far one of the cleanest places we have been to. C．Here's my opinion about what Dubai is like. D．The buildings are huge, reaching into the sky. E．At times it's too hot to walk about outside for long. F．It is really an amazing place and we would love to visit it again. （9） Giving Directions in Different Places If you ask people from different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office?”, you will get different answers. In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. 1 The post office is across from the bus stop.” In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, “Go north two miles. 2 ” People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, “Follow me.” 3 Sometimes if a person doesn’t know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know”. 4 They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan! 5 You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction and you may find the post office! A．Turn east, and then go another mile. B．But one thing will help you everywhere. C．People there think “I don’t know” is not polite. D．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. E．Because they don’t want to talk much with strangers. F．Then he or she will take you through the streets of the city to the post office. （10） There was a peacock (孔雀) in an animal city. He was very arrogant (傲慢的). Other animals didn’t like him. One morning the peacock wanted to go to a park but he got lost. He was worried. Then he saw a sheep. He walked to him and asked, “Hey! How can I get to the nearby park?” 1 Then the peacock shouted, “Didn’t you hear me? I’m asking you!” The sheep looked at him, but he didn’t say anything. The peacock had to leave. 2 The cat asked, “Excuse me, Uncle Elephant. How can I get to the supermarket?” The elephant said with a smile, “Go this way to the end and turn left.” 3 The peacock walked to the elephant and asked, “Hey! How can I get to the nearby park?” 4 The peacock was angry and shouted, “Why would you tell the cat, but you wouldn’t tell me?” The elephant turned around and said, “The cat is so polite. What about you?” 5 He lowered his head and said, “Thank you for your teaching. I won’t do that again.” From then on, the peacock began to be polite to others and slowly became popular. 阅读短文，从下面选出合适的句子填入文中，使短文完整、通顺。有一项多余。 A．The elephant didn’t look at him. B．The face of the peacock turned red. C．The cat thanked the elephant and left. D．The sheep didn’t answer his question. E．He wondered whom he could ask for help.
