She told me that she would come to Japan for vacation in July. But she was very anxious. She said she didn’t know what to do in Japanese restaurants. I had to ask her to understand these table manners and tell her what to do in the restaurant. Some restaurants in Japan have tatami floor（榻榻米地板）. When you step in a restaurant, you must take off your shoes. When you sit at the table, you will receive a small wet cloth at most Japanese restaurants. Use this to wash your hands before eating, then carefully fold it and set it aside on the table. Don’t use it as a napkin, or to touch any part of your face. Before and after a meal, it is important to say traditional thank-you words. You can make a little noise when you eat. For example, it is common to make some slurping noises while eating noodles. Japanese can say it tastes better if you slurp. For sushi, you should eat up. It is polite to lift small bowls of rice or soup when you eat. After you finish your meal, it is good manners to restore all your dishes to the way they were at the beginning of the meal. For example, you can put chopsticks back on the chopsticks shelf. I think these manners are helpful to her. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案 6. Why is Rose anxious? A. Because she doesn’t understand Japanese table manners. B. Because the ticket price is too expensive. C. Because she doesn’t understand Japanese. D. Because she doesn’t have a passport. 7. What must Rose take off when she steps on tatami floor? A. Her socks. B. Her coat. C. Her shoes. D. Her cap. 8. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to（指代）? A. The restaurant. B. The wet cloth. C. The pair of shoes, D. The bowl. 9. Which of the following are good table manners in Japan? ①say traditional phrases of thanks before eating ②make noises all the time ③lift small bowls of rice on the table ④eat the whole sushi ⑤put the chopsticks on the bowl after dinner A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ③④⑤ 10. In Paragraph 3, we can learn __________. A. how to order in a restaurant B. how to pay in a restaurant C. the food in the restaurant isn’t delicious D. table manners when eating in a Japanese restaurant C Everyone has their favorite food. Think about your favorite food. Do you wonder why your favorite food tastes so good? The answer is about your tongue and nose. There are some taste buds (味蕾) on your tongue (舌头). They give you the sense of taste. How do the taste buds work? In fact, they have many tiny hairs on them. These tiny hairs send messages to your brain about the tastes of different food. In this way, you know whether it is sweet, sour, bitter or salty. A person has about 10.000 taste buds. They keep working all the time when we enjoy our food. The taste buds don’t always stay the same. They are replaced about every two weeks. However, as a person gets older, some of these taste buds don’t get replaced. An older person may only have 5,000 working taste buds. That’s why some food may taste stronger for you than it does for an older person. Besides your tongue, your nose also helps you learn about the taste of food. Sometimes, strong smell even confuse (混淆) your sense of taste. Try holding an onion under your nose while eating an apple, and the apple must taste terrible. So the next time you enjoy salty pizza and sweet ice cream, thank your tongue and your nose. Without them, you won’t have any sense of taste at all! Without the sense of taste, life will be boring! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11. How do taste buds send messages to our brains according to the text? A. By using our tongues. B. By using our nose. C By using the small hairs on them. D. By using our throat. 12. What do the underlined words “are replaced” mean in Chinese? A. 被启动 B. 被更新 C. 被显示 D. 被升级 13. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. An onion can help make the taste of an apple better. B All the old people’s taste buds will get replaced after some time. C. Young people and old people may have different ideas on the taste of the same food. D. The taste buds always stay the same. 14. Which is the proper structure (结构) of the text? A. ①②→③④⑤ B. ①②→③→④⑤ C. ①→②③→④→⑤ D. ①②→③④→⑤ 15. What does the text mainly tell us? A. Our favorite food. B. How we can taste food. C.

First, we need to have healthy eating habits. We can eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit, but we’d better eat less meat. Different kinds of foods are necessary, and it’s also important to have a balanced diet. Then, playing sports every day can also help us keep fit. We can take walks after dinner, and we can walk to school instead of taking a bus. After school we can spend hours playing basketball or soccer with our friends. We should try to do more exercise every day. Happiness is another way to keep healthy. When we are lonely or unhappy, try to make friends, and it is a good way to keep us happy. If you smile often, you also feel happy. So, be happy to be healthy. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
