When you visit them, they will invite you to take a bath in a river with them. Thailand People in Thailand press their hands together and bow to greet each other.

She had learned about British manners in her English class, but she still experienced some interesting things during her trip. On the first day, Li Mei and her family went to a restaurant for dinner. The waiter came to their table and said, “Good evening. Can I take your order now?” Li Mei’s father said, “Yes, please. We’d like three beefsteaks and a vegetable salad.” The waiter smiled and said, “No problem. Thank you.” Li Mei was surprised. She said to her mum, “Why did he say ‘thank you’ to us? We should thank him for serving us.” Her mum smiled and said, “In the UK, people say ‘thank you’ all the time, even for small things. The waiter thanked us for choosing this restaurant. It’s a way to be polite.” After the meal, Li Mei’s father left a 10% tip for the waiter. Li Mei asked, “Why do we need to leave a tip? We have already paid for the meal.” Her dad said, “In the UK, it’s common to leave a tip for the waiter. It’s a way to show that you are satisfied with their service. Most waiters get a low salary, so the tip is an important part of their income.” On the second day, Li Mei went to a park with her family. She saw an old lady sitting on a bench. The old lady smiled at her, and Li Mei smiled back and said, “Hello! The weather is nice today, isn’t it?” The old lady said happily, “Yes, it is! It’s a perfect day for a walk in the park.” Li Mei’s dad said, “Well done, Li Mei! In the UK, people often talk about the weather when they meet strangers. It’s a polite way to start a conversation.” During the trip, Li Mei also noticed that British people always wait in line patiently, no matter in the shop, at the bus stop, or at the underground station. They never jump the line. They also hold the door open for the people behind them. When someone bumps into them, they always say “sorry”, even if it’s not their fault. Li Mei said, “This trip taught me a lot about British manners. Different countries have different cultures and different ways to be polite. When we are in another country, we should learn about the local manners and follow them. Just like the old saying goes: ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do.’” 1．Why was Li Mei surprised in the restaurant? A．Because the waiter was not friendly to them. B．Because the waiter said “thank you” to them. C．Because the food in the restaurant was very expensive. D．Because her father left a tip for the waiter. 2．Why do people in the UK leave a tip for the waiter? A．Because the waiter asks them to do so. B．Because they have to pay the tip by law. C．Because it’s a way to show satisfaction with the service. D．Because the food is very cheap. 3．What do British people often talk about when they meet strangers? A．The weather. B．The food. C．The trip. D．The family. 4．What can we learn from Li Mei’s experience? A．British people never say “sorry” to others. B．British people often jump the line in the shop. C．Different countries have different ways to be polite. D．It’s not necessary to learn about local manners when travelling. C Many people love travelling to different countries, but if you plan to go abroad, you should know how to behave in different situations around the world. Most travellers enjoy meeting new people, but sometimes you can be rude without saying anything. In Russia, you should never shake hands in a doorway, and if you’re travelling in Thailand, never touch people’s heads or point your feet at people. When the Japanese meet new people, they like giving business cards—you should read the card carefully, not just put it in your pocket. In most countries in Europe, people expect a lot of eye contact (接触) when you talk to them, but in many Asian countries a lot of eye contact seems unfriendly. In South America people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk, but in countries like the USA, you need to give people more personal space. Also, it’s rude to interrupt Japanese people while they are talking to you. You must wait until they finish before you start speaking. In restaurants in China you can leave a bit of food on your plate, and it’s OK to start smoking before other people finish eating, which you mustn’t do in the UK. Also avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia—that’s bad luck. With so much to think about, it’s not surprising that many people prefer (更喜欢) going on holiday in their own countries—or you might just decide to stay at home! 1．What does the underlined word “interrupt” would most likely mean? A．Follow. B．Break. C．Agree. D．Touch. 2．What is the correct order of the subheadings (小标题) from Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 5? ①Eating out  ②At home  ③Body language  ④Face-to-face communication A．②③④① B．④①②③ C．③④①② D．①③②④ 3．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．In Russia, it’s impolite to shake hands with people in a doorway. B．We should put the business cards in our pocket at once in Japan. C．In China, people cannot smoke before other people finish eating. D．In South Africa, you can stand closely to others. 4．What does the writer want to tell us? A．Practice makes perfect. B．Where there is a will, there is a way. C．Failure is the mother of success. D．When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 七、信息还原（有两项多余） I can’t recall exactly when I read Little Women for the first time, but I’m guessing I was around 10. The novel follows the lives of four women—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, who grow and learn from their mistakes. I love it and have read it several times over the years. 1 Here are some of the lessons that I have learnt from the book. It’s better to give than to receive. The March girls give up their own presents in order to buy gifts for their hard-working “Marmee” and experience the joy of giving something to someone they love. 2 It’s not so difficult to give something to someone dear to us, but giving something to someone outside our circle of family and close friends deepens our sense of empathy. Money doesn’t buy happiness. Both Aunt March and Mr Laurence, the “old gentleman” next door, have riches that anyone might envy (嫉妒). 3 Aunt March is a woman who gets angry easily and is quite difficult to get along with. Mr Laurence can be rather crabby (易怒的) but we find over time that he is actually rather kind. Still, he’s not a happy man. 4 The four March girls are not only sisters, but also one another’s truest friends. When others are in trouble, they try their best to help them. 5 These relationships help them through difficult times. Have you read Little Women? What did you think of it? Write down your lessons and share them with us. A．Each time I read it, I’ll get something new. B．However, money hasn’t brought either of them happiness. C．Listen to well-meaning advice. D．Friendship is a valuable treasure. E．Each girl makes great efforts to overcome these challenges. F．In a more challenging lesson, they give their breakfast to a very poor family. G．They also develop a close friendship with Laurie, the boy next door. 1._______________2._______________3.__________________4._________________5.________________ 五、词汇运用 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 1．At the Double Ninth Festival, we care for grandparents and other e___________ people. 2．Many v___________ go to the old people’s home every weekend to help. 3．We can learn sign language to communicate with the ___________ (失聪的) people around us better. 4．We should never laugh at people with physical ___________ (缺陷) and should give them more care. 5.The new airport came into ____________________(服务) at the end of last year. 5.

And Western hosts sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests. It is because the guest-host relationship (关系) in China is quite different from that in some western countries. In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese friend’s home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to (根据) the host’s way of doing things is usual behaviour for a guest. My wife’s mother, a very kind Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their houses. At the very least, you should ask “Is it OK if I smoke?” But don’t be surprised if they say, “No, you can’t smoke.” In my culture, if you smoke in their houses, you are a bad guest, but if they don’t allow you to smoke in their houses, they are not rude hosts. In a word, no matter where you are, the best way to be a good guest is to adapt to (适应) the local customs. Just as the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” 1．To many foreigners, who are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world? 2．What is usual behaviour for a guest in the west? 3．How does the writer feel when he sees some guests smoking in his wife’s mother’s home? 4．If a guest wants to smoke in an American host’s home, what question should he ask? 5．What do you think is impolite for a guest to do?
