(B) Before you go to another country, it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs of the country. When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say, “How do you do?” and shake hands. Usually they do not shake hands when they happen to meet again or when they say good-bye, but they shake hands after they haven’t met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time. Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that Germans shake hands as often as possible. So they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made all of them laugh. 6. It is ________ if you know the language and some of the customs of the country.

German people shake hands as often as possible. B. English people like shaking hands very much. C. German people hardly shake hands. D. Germans don’t like shaking hands. 10. This story is about ________ . A. shaking hands B. languages C. different customs D. languages and customs (C) Long, long ago, people made fires from lightening (闪电). But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn't start it again if there was no lightening. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing (摩擦). They made a hole in a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.     Years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire. About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fire. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fire. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful. 11. From the text we know that a spark can ________. A. fire any leaves B. burn anything C. burn dry leaves D. keep fire burning 12. We can also get a fire by ________. A. making a hole in a big piece of wood B. putting a smaller stick into the hole C. turning the stick hard for a while D. doing all the above in order 13. Matches have been used ________.
