First,when meeting people in China,we usually shake hands③ and smile.It's polite to greet others warmly and talk about general topics like the weather or travel plans.Next, for table manners, remember to use chopsticks correctly. Never stick them upright in your bowl—it resembles incense for the dead! Also,avoid pointing at people with chopsticks.Wait until elderly people start eating before you begin Finally,if you visit a Chinese home,take a small gift like fruit or tea to show respect. Always knock before entering, and it's customary to remove your shoes unless the host says otherwise. Welcome to China.I hope you'll have a wonderful time in our country.

After several years in New York,I moved to Los Angeles to explore its unique lifestyle.Drawn to its creative energy and film industry,I found LA's slower pace centred on art,community,and tradition—unlike New York's intensity.Being flexible helped me adapt and fit in better, allowing me to appreciate these differences.The contrast deepened my understanding of American culture, especially LA’s influence on trends.I also grew fascinated by old traditions tied to nature and their modern connections. My studies made me think about how societies were organized and the roles people played.I focused on how different cultures show leadership and beliefs. Through my travels,I learnt that culture deeply affects our thoughts.In Madrid, people were relaxed about time,but in New York,being on time was very important.In LA,people valued new ideas and personal expression,while in Europe, history and customs were more respected. These experiences taught me that no single culture has all the aspects.By living in different places,I gained a wider view of the world.Culture is like a pair of glasses— ▲ . Would you like to explore new cultures too? Understanding differences can help us grow and connect with others. ( )1.Why did the writer move to New York in the late 1990s? A.To work in the film industry. B.To experience other cultures. C.To enjoy a slower lifestyle. D.To study American history. ( )2.What is one difference between New York and Los Angeles according to the passage? A.New York has a slower pace than Los Angeles. B.Los Angeles focuses more on art and community than New York. C.New York is less intense than Los Angeles. D.Los Angeles has a more hectic life than New York. ( )3.What did the writer's studies mainly focus on? A.The history of the film industry in Los Angeles. B.How societies were organized and people's roles. C.Traditional art forms in Madrid. D.The influence of New York on global trends. ( )4.How did people in Madrid view time according to the passage? A.They thought being on time was very important. B.They were relaxed about time. C.They often rushed to save time. D.They tied time to work efficiency. ( )5.Which sentence is best for the“ ▲ ”in Paragraph 5? A.It makes us see the world in a certain way. B.It is easy to break if we don't care for it. C.It can only be used by people from the same culture. D.It becomes useless when we travel to new places. ⑪ 阅读表格 No matter where you go,no matter what you do,when you are in public places,you have to be in good manners.How should we behave in public places? Keep your voice down Don't speak or laugh loudly.Remember that although you may be excited and want to voice your excitement, the people around you may not be interested in it at all.It's polite to speak at a low volume(音量) .This includes laughing as well. Dress properly Dress in a way that is appropriate(适合的) for the place that you are going to.If you are going to an event where people dress formally,do the same.For example,do not wear blue jeans or a T-shirt to a dinner party.But it is acceptable to dress casually if you are going to a museum or a movie theatre. Use table manners When you eat in public places,use your table manners.They may help you leave a good impression.In Western countries,do not pick up food with your hands.You should pick it up with a fork or a spoon.When you are in China, you shouldn't start eating first if there are elder people eat the table.Using your phone while having a meal is also bad behaviour. Ⅲ 阅读表达 Playing with friends, going to a party, having a meal in a restaurant or receiving a birthday gift—as a teenager, you go to different places and meet different kinds of people.Everything you do leaves an impression. So,manners are very important. Arriving 30 minutes late for a date may mean you think it isn’t that important.Taking a cell phone call while talking to your friend may mean you think the caller is more important than the person standing in front of you.Failing to show thanks to a gift-giver may mean you don't like the gift. Are those the messages you really want to send? Maybe not.You do not want to be rude, but sometimes what you do makes people think you're impolite.How can you change that? You should know the proper ways to behave around people.We call them manners. Manners are about being honest, respectful and considerate (考虑周到的) .Good manners show in small things. Start to make your manners better now! You can start by adding“please”and “thank you”to your vocabulary and avoiding bad language.You can start by holding a door open for someone after you to go through.You can start by showing up on time instead of letting others wait for you.Start now! Start a new life and start to be a teenager with good manners! 11.Why are manners important? 12.What may it mean if a person is 30 minutes late for a date? 13.What should you do when receiving gifts from others? 14.How many pieces of advice does the writer give about behaving politely? 15.What do you think are good manners at school?(自拟两项内容作答) 单元限时检测 I.单项选择(10分 ) ( )1.It's important to choose the time to have a serious talk with your parents.

B While Chinese people celebrate the Year of Rabbit, people in Vietnam celebrate the Year of Cat. In the Chinese zodiac (生肖)there are 12 animals,and the 4th animal is the rabbit.While in the Vietnamese zodiac,the 4th animal is the cat.Why does the cat substitute for the rabbit in Vietnam? Ancient storytellers said the Jade Emperor organized a race across a river for all the animals in the world.The first 12 to reach the other side would appear in the zodiac.In the Chinese story, the cat and the rat were crossing the river on the back of an ox when the rat pushed the cat into the water.The rat won the race and that is why cats have been hunting rats ever since.But in the Vietnamese zodiac story,there wasn't a rabbit, and the cat could swim and ended up arriving.So the two countries have different origins( 起 源 )of the zodiac. A lecturer said the custom has something to do with the landscape of Vietnam.“In the past, the Chinese lived in the plate area,while the Vietnamese lived in the lowland area.People in the plate area chose the rabbit as an animal that lived in the wild fields.But people in the lowland area considered rabbits as animals that were used for food and they believed cats were friends living in their houses.” ( )25.The underlined words“substitute for”in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by_______.

First of all, I think we can read some books and watch videos about traditional culture,so that we can learn a lot from them.Second, there should be some traditional culture clubs for us to join, such as paper-cutting clubs and Peking Opera clubs.In addition,it's a good idea to draw some posters of traditional culture and put them up on the school's walls. I hope everyone can play a role in passing down our traditional culture. Yours, Li Hua 刷外刊 · 刷时文 阅读理解 1-5 B B B B A 阅读表格 6. How 7. laugh 8. formal 9. pick up 10.after 阅读表达 11.
