I'm David, a sixteenyearold boy. I went to England last year. I noticed something interesting about the English way of life. For example, you must say Mr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first time. When you get to know each other better, you can just use their first names. One day, we visited some friends and had afternoon tea. Afternoon tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4 p.m. We ate sandwiches and fruit cakes.In England, you usually drink tea with milk. Fish and chips is traditional food in England. You can buy it and eat it in special fish and chip shops on the high street, or you can take it away and eat it with your hands! It is delicious! And you can't imagine how much people in England love potatoes and cheese!

There's a list of natural wonders. They are places that have been sources of wonder ever since people walked the Earth. As we are now much more familiar with the geography of our planet than before, these natural wonders have become known to people.
Mount Qomolangma in the Himalayas is the highest mountain on Earth. The Great Barrier Reef along the northeastern coast of Australia is the world's largest coral reef. The Grand Canyon(峡谷) around the Colorado River in the United States is the largest canyon in the world. Victoria Falls is an amazing 100metrehigh waterfall in Africa, and its 1,700metre width as well as its height is truly breathtaking. The Dead Sea is the Earth's lowest point on land and its water is so salty that no fish or plants can live in it, giving it the name “Dead Sea” . Its salt concentration(浓度) is about 34%, nearly ten times that of ordinary seawater, which makes it easy for people to stay on the surface without sinking(下沉). Paricutin is perhaps the world's youngest volcano(火山). It came out of a cornfield west of Mexico in 1943! In the first year it grew 336 metres high. Now it is 424 metres high. The northern lights are a natural phenomenon(现象) that appears on winter nights in certain areas.
Some may think that these natural wonders are even more wonderful than the manmade wonders. Manmade wonders are built with tools and skills, while natural wonders are gifts from nature, shaped by time and natural forces over thousands of years. Such natural treasures not only show the power and charm(魅力) of nature but also remind us to value and protect the amazing world we live in.
( )24.How does the writer introduce Victoria Falls in the passage?
A.By using numbers to show its size.
B.By telling a story about its discovery.
C.By comparing it with other waterfalls.
( )25.What can we learn about Paricutin from the passage?
A.It grew 424 metres in the first year.
B.It was formed in a cornfield in 1943.
C.It is the tallest volcano in the world.
( )26.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A.It lists several famous natural wonders.
B.It explains why natural wonders are more important.
C.It describes how some natural wonders came into being.
( )27.What does the writer want to express in the last paragraph?
A.Natural wonders are worth valuing and protecting.
B.Natural wonders are even more wonderful than manmade wonders.
C.Manmade wonders are not as wonderful as natural wonders in every way.
C
Whether it's putting your elbows on the table or talking with a mouth full of food, everyone has to watch their manners at some time. Manners have developed over thousands of years and are always changing. Around 100 years ago, children weren't allowed to speak unless parents spoke to them first. Now young people can make their voices heard in many places.
Manners also mean different things in different countries. Eating food loudly is considered rude in some countries, but in others it's a sign that people are enjoying their meal. What do you think? Are manners important?
Many people think so. They say kind words and actions are good to everyone. When someone has good manners, it shows they care about other people's feelings and want them to be comfortable. In other words, wellmannered people make the world a happier place. Manners also help keep everyone healthy, which is why people should cover their mouths when they cough and keep dirty feet off seats.
▲ They hold the idea that manners make people act in a way that doesn't show how they really feel. If someone says “thank you” or “sorry” when they don't mean it, they're not being polite. In Europe, manners were a way of showing how rich a person was, but does it really matter what type of knife people use to eat fish? As long as people are kind to others, they should be allowed to act how they like.
( )28.How is the passage developed?
A.In the order of time.
B.In the order of space.
C.By comparing different views.
( )29.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.We need to care about others.
B.Good manners are very important.
C.You can be healthy with good manners.
( )30.Which of the following can be put in the “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4?
A.However, some people don't think so.
B.However, some manners are not accepted by young men.
C.Besides, people should pay more attention to different customs.
( )31.What can we infer from this passage?
A.Saying sorry certainly means being polite.
B.Coughing with the mouth covered is strange.
C.Eating loudly can be good manners sometimes.
