How to Behave Well?
In order to build a civilized city,we students should try our best
to behave well in the activities.
Above all,it's good manners to say "Hello"when we meet
other people for the first time.If we bump into others or do something
impolite,we should say "sorry".We'd better not talk or laugh loudly
Moreover,we should try our best to protect the environment,
such as planting more trees.It's good to choose public transport to go
to school.We can go to school on foot or by bike.We should turn off
the lights when we leave the room.
Be friendly to others and always be ready to help the people in
need.Try to work as volunteers to help the disabled.It's meaningful

has done to us,and its true importance starts to come out in front of
me.The food on the table may 43 with time,the people sitting
beside it may come and go,and the reasons why we come together
seem to be different,44 the true meaning behind it keeps the

六、阅读填表(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
(期末·2024-2025南通海安)Everyone loves receiving gifts,
and across cultures,presents are an important way to show care and
love.However,traditions are not the same in every country.
As a European living in China,I have seen some interesting
differences.For example,while fruit and milk are common gifts
here,in my culture,they might be a better choice when you are
visiting someone in the hospital.
When you get invited to a dinner party,a bottle of fine wine is
also a good gift.Still,it's best to check if your hosts drink wine in
their daily life.
Many Europeans usually open their presents right away,
except in places like Germany.It's also important to take off the
price tag before giving gifts.
What can you do if you don't like your gift?In Spain,you
still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person's
feelings.But if the giver leaves the receipt (inside the gift,
which is a very common practice in Spain,you can just exchange it
for something else.
Re-gifting is another good idea,as long as the present looks
new.Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned re-gifting into a nice
project,collecting gifts people didn't want for those in need,as a
TV station reported.
How the present looks is also important.However,by using
wrapping paper for every present we buy,we produce a lot of
waste.Many Germans use high-quality wrapping paper,but
some of them are now choosing newspaper or maps to help the
environment.
Do Europeans give money as gifts?Yes.Polish couples,for
example,often request cash at weddings to cover the cost of the
venue and meals.
Finally,remember:It's the thought that counts,not the size or
the cost of the gift.
76.Where does the writer come from?
42
77.What do most Europeans usually do after receiving gifts?
78.Why do Spanish people leave the receipt inside the gift?
79.How do many Germans make their presents look so important?
80.Do you agree with re-gifting?Why or why not?(请自拟一句话
作答)
