The holiday season will be here soon, and with it come tons of parties. Here's how to mind your manners at the dinner table:
First things first:
Mind the little details. Respond to invitations in time; it's always better to be overdressed; be fashionably on time; bring a gift for your host or hostess; and remember to silence your phone and keep it out of sight.
After you sit down:
The first thing you should do is place your napkin(餐巾)in your lap. Leave it there until the end of the meal. If you excuse yourself from the table, the most common practice is to place it on your seat until you return. If you're worried that your napkin has food on it that could make the seat or your clothes dirty when you sit back down, place it to the left of your plate instead.
To locate your bread plate and drink:
When in doubt, look to your hands. With your palms(手掌)facing each other, connect the tip of each pointer finger(食指)with your thumbs(拇指). You'll see that your left hand will form a "b", and your right hand, a "d". These stand for "bread" and "drink", which you will find to your left and to your right, separately.
What to do with utensils(餐具):
Your safest bet is to start from the outside-the utensils farthest from your plate-and move inward as the meal progresses. However, dessert(甜点)utensils may also be found above your plate.
Resting utensils:
If you are taking a break from eating, imagine your plate is a clock and place your knife and fork down at the 3 o'clock position. You can show that you are finished eating by placing your utensils in the 10 and 4 o'clock positions.
After the party:
Don't forget a thank-you note. It should be sent within two weeks after the event.
37. When attending a dinner at someone's home, you are advised to ________.
A. prepare a gift for the person who is hosting it
B. avoid being overly dressed up
C. thank the host or hostess for the invitation
D. turn your mobile phone off at the dinner table
38. Where should you place your napkin when you get up from the table?
A. Under your plate. B. On your plate.
C. To the left of the plate. D. Over the back of your chair.
39. What is normally put to your right side on the table?
A. Dessert utensils. B. Bread plate. C. Napkin. D. Drink.
40. To show you have finished eating, you can place your utensils in the ________ position.
A. 1 o'clock B. 3 o'clock C. 4 o'clock D. 9 o'clock
【答案】37. A 38. C 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【分析】短文介绍了如何参加聚会以及应该注意的一些餐桌礼仪。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中“bring a gift for your host or hostess” 给主人带礼物。可知,当你在别人家里吃饭时,你最好为主办人准备礼物,故答案为A。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三部分"If you're worried that your napkin has food on it that could stain the scat or your clothes when you sit back down, place it to the left of your plate instead”如果你担心餐巾纸上的食物会在你坐下时弄脏你的衣服,那就把餐巾纸放在盘子的左。可知当你从桌子上站起来的时候,你能把餐巾放在你盘子的左边。故答案为C。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四部分"These stand for "bread" and "drink,"which you will find to your left and to your right,respectively这些代表"面包"和"饮料",你会发现在你的左边和右边。可知饮料通常放在桌子的右侧,故答案为D。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中“You can show that you are finished eating by placing your utensils in the 10 and 4 o'clock positions.” 你可以把餐具放在10点和4点的位置来表示你已经吃完了。可知,为了显示你已经吃完了,你可以把你的餐具放在4点这个位置。故答案为C。
D
During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island (岛屿), I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, ‘‘Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”
So I decided to make myself a boat, I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole (洞) in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.
That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.
My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make, I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.
I kept food and tools (工具) at both my houses, and also wild goats (山羊). There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.
41. Where this article might come from
A. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer B. Anne of Green Gables
C. Robinson Crusoe D. Peter Pan
42. The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to ________.
A. escape in it B. get to the other side of the island
C. use it for food D. go around the island
43. To survive, the writer did the following EXCEPT ________.
A. keeping goats for milk B. making clothes from animal skins
C. working in the cornfields D. going fishing in the sea

How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never achieve anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated(打败) once a few changes have been made in your mind.
___46___ Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation(动力) once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting(调节) your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach(主动方式), viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. ___47___
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment(娱乐后动), but watching too much TV often leads to laziness. ___48___ Complete a few tasks and reward(奖励) yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not being dealt with immediately. ___49___ Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may finally follow your example and practice their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
___50___ Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A. To fight family laziness, set an example.
B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E. With hard work, you will be able to achieve your goal.
F. Laziness sets in when you no longer control your own life.
G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for the children.

The holiday season will be here soon, and with it come tons of parties. Here's how to mind your manners at the dinner table:
First things first:
Mind the little details. Respond to invitations in time; it's always better to be overdressed; be fashionably on time; bring a gift for your host or hostess; and remember to silence your phone and keep it out of sight.
After you sit down:
The first thing you should do is place your napkin(餐巾)in your lap. Leave it there until the end of the meal. If you excuse yourself from the table, the most common practice is to place it on your seat until you return. If you're worried that your napkin has food on it that could make the seat or your clothes dirty when you sit back down, place it to the left of your plate instead.
To locate your bread plate and drink:
When in doubt, look to your hands. With your palms(手掌)facing each other, connect the tip of each pointer finger(食指)with your thumbs(拇指). You'll see that your left hand will form a "b", and your right hand, a "d". These stand for "bread" and "drink", which you will find to your left and to your right, separately.
What to do with utensils(餐具):
Your safest bet is to start from the outside-the utensils farthest from your plate-and move inward as the meal progresses. However, dessert(甜点)utensils may also be found above your plate.
Resting utensils:
If you are taking a break from eating, imagine your plate is a clock and place your knife and fork down at the 3 o'clock position. You can show that you are finished eating by placing your utensils in the 10 and 4 o'clock positions.
After the party:
Don't forget a thank-you note. It should be sent within two weeks after the event.
37. When attending a dinner at someone's home, you are advised to ________.
A. prepare a gift for the person who is hosting it
B. avoid being overly dressed up
C. thank the host or hostess for the invitation
D. turn your mobile phone off at the dinner table
38. Where should you place your napkin when you get up from the table?
A. Under your plate. B. On your plate.
C. To the left of the plate. D. Over the back of your chair.
39. What is normally put to your right side on the table?
A. Dessert utensils. B. Bread plate. C. Napkin. D. Drink.
40. To show you have finished eating, you can place your utensils in the ________ position.
A. 1 o'clock B. 3 o'clock C. 4 o'clock D. 9 o'clock
D
During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island (岛屿), I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, ‘‘Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”
So I decided to make myself a boat, I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole (洞) in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.
That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.
My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make, I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.
I kept food and tools (工具) at both my houses, and also wild goats (山羊). There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.
41. Where this article might come from
A. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer B. Anne of Green Gables
C. Robinson Crusoe D. Peter Pan
42. The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to ________.
A. escape in it B. get to the other side of the island
C. use it for food D. go around the island
43. To survive, the writer did the following EXCEPT ________.
A. keeping goats for milk B. making clothes from animal skins
C. working in the cornfields D. going fishing in the sea
44. Why didn’t the writer use his first canoe?
A. Because it was too small for a long journey.
B. Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea.

How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never achieve anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated(打败) once a few changes have been made in your mind.
___46___ Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation(动力) once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting(调节) your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach(主动方式), viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. ___47___
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment(娱乐后动), but watching too much TV often leads to laziness. ___48___ Complete a few tasks and reward(奖励) yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels but laziness can be spread if not being dealt with immediately. ___49___ Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may finally follow your example and practice their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
___50___ Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A. To fight family laziness, set an example.
B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E. With hard work, you will be able to achieve your goal.
