manners are very important in every country，but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior.what is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another.chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in england.when an englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk.he may just nod，say “hello” and so on.if two friends do stop to talk，they do not shake hands.it is only at parties for young people(students，for instance)that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself.on more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host，hostess or another guest who he already knows.at even a formal dinner an englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink.the english reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions.in these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech，for example，at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring.after a private dinner in someone’s house an englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion，like a business dinner，and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.luckily，like chinese people，the english usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette.but even so，perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student，no matter what country he is visiting，is to follow the old proverb: when in rome，do as the romans do.B

Contacts(交往)between Japan and the rest of the world have grown a great deal in the twentieth century.In the last thirty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important.Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world.Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder the foreign businessman and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately.He wants quick decisions.He does not wait.The Japanese, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions gradually after giving them a great deal of thought.Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”.This is because of cultural difference between Japanese and western society which makes it difficult for a Japanese to say “No” directly.In English, it is easy to say “No” to something we do not want to do.But in Japan it is very difficult to say “No”.To refuse an invitation or a request with “No”, or a similar phrase, is felt to be impolite.It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly.So instead of saying “No”.These enable them to avoid hurting other people’s feelings.However, this often makes communication with the Japanese difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.1．Paragraph one tells us that

More than 50,000,000 people live in the rainforest of the world and most of them do not hurt the forest they live in.They eat the fruits on the forest trees, but they do not cut them down.They kill some animals to eat, but they do not destroy(破壞)them.When we cut down the rainforests, we destroy these forest people, too.In 1900, there were 1,000,000 forest people in the Amazon forest.In 1980, there were only 200,000.The Yanomami live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil.They have lived in the rainforest for about 10,000 years and they use more than 2,000 different plants for food and for medicine.But in 1988, someone found gold in their forest, and suddenly 45,000 people came to the forest and began looking for gold.They cut down the forest to make roads.They made more than a hundred airports.The Yanomami people lost land and food.Many died because new diseases came to the forest with the strangers.The Yanomami people tried to save their forest, because it was their home.But the people who wanted gold were stronger.Many forest people try to save their forests.Chico Mendes was famous in Brazil because he wanted to keep the forest for his people.“I want the Amazon forest to help all of us – forest people, Brazil, and all the Earth, ” he said.A few months later, in December 1988, people who wanted to cut down the forest killed Chico Mendes.In Borneo, people were cutting down the forest of the Penan people to sell the wood.The Penan people tried to save their rainforest.They made blockades(障礙)across the roads into the forest.In 1987, they closed fifteen roads for eight months.No one cut down any trees during that time.In Panama, the Kuna people saved their forest.They made a forest park which tourists pay to visit.The Gavioes people of Brazil use the forest, but they protect it as well.They find and sell the Brazil nuts which grow on the forest trees.D

when a japanese friend of mine first visited britain ａnd first saw a british map of the world, he was very surprised by what he found.at first, the picture seemed familiar（熟悉）: in the middle of the map, there were two ｏr three small but long red islands lying between an ocean ａnd a continent, but something was wrong: land mass ａnd ocean had changed places.it wasn’t japan he was looking at, it was the british isles.japan was out on the edge somewhere.until that moment all the maps he had known had set japan in the middle of the picture ａnd had coloured it red;yet when he got to britain, he found that the country in the middle of the map was britain ａnd that is, too, was painted red.what my friend had found was a displacement(變化)of his country, ａnd therefore, of himself as well.that is to say, his country was no longer in its familiar place ａnd he no longer knew ｗhere he stood;he was disoriented.our sense of ourselves ａnd our place in the world may not, as my friend’s experience suggests, come ｆrom anything real ｏr actual, fｏr no country is in the middle of the globe, except as a picture in the mind.a map is only a model in which we may set ourselves;it just helps us to feel that we know ｗhere we are.A

Although American informality(不拘禮節(jié))is well known, many new visitor think that it indicates a “l(fā)ack of respect”.This is especially true in the business world.Americans often use names upon meeting a stranger and do not always shake hands.They often just smile and say “Hi” or “hello”, rather than using a more formal hand shake.It is good to remember that to an American such an informal greeting really means the same thing as a more formal hand shake someplace else.Similarly, Americans do not usually give a special “farewell” or hand shake to each person when they leave a party of business meeting.They will often just wave when they leave a party of business meeting.They will often just wave good-bye to the whole group and perhaps say, “Well, so long everybody, I’ll see you tomorrow.” They then will leave.No hand shakes.Americans seem either totally hurried and hard-working or totally informal and at ease.Often you will see men working at office desks without their chairs and even put their feet up on the desk while they talk on the telephone.This is not meant to be rude.Once Americans leave the busy streets, they are easy and informal.A visitor to the United States should therefore understand that being in a great hurry does not indicate unfriendliness and being informal and being at ease does not show a lack of respect.Americans have a great range of customs and habits that at first may seem puzzling to a visitor.In time you will learn these new ways.C

In the eighteenth century young ladies in Italy were taught reading, writing, music and arithmetic.But their knowledge of history and geography was poor.Once the French ambassador in Rome was giving a ball to which many important people were invited.The Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs(外交部)came very late.A young lady, who was well acquainted with him, saw him enter the ball-room and asked why he was so late.“You see,” said the Minister, “there has been a little accident at the King’s palace.”

The curious young lady asked the Minister to tell her what had happened at the King’s palace.“Oh, nothing important,” answered the Minister.“The ambassador of Brazil, who was to be presented to the King, forgot to take his credentials with him and was obliged to go back to his hotel to bring them.If he had left them in Brazil we should have had to wait at least six months for them.”

“Is Brazil so far from Rome?” asked the lady, who knew very little geography.“It is in the New World,” said the Minister.“In the New World?” repeated the lady in great astonishment.“Yes, in the New World,” answered the Minister in a satisfied tone, “which was discovered by Christopher Columbus.”

When the young lady heard this she rushed into the middle of the ball-room and shouted as loud as she could: “Ladies and gentleman, have you heard the latest news? A new world has just been discovered by a certain Christopher Columbus.C

There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy.One way is the greater production of common energy sources, such as coal, oil and gas.The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.Another way is energy conservation(節(jié)能), which means using energy more efficiently.In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy.They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in.The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop.One form of these is geothermal energy.In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometer down.At six kilometers, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees.To get the heat, water is pumped(壓;抽)down into the rocks and back up to the surface.Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.B

Education is not an end, but a means to an end.In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them.Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all—whether rich or poor, clever or stupid—one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation.But we can already see that free education for all is not enough;we find in such countries a far large number of people with university degrees, they refuse to do what they think “l(fā)ow” work, and ,in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor, we can live without education, but we die if we have no food.If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns…

In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life , it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and , secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work.Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.D

3． According to the passage

.A、work with hands is dirty and shameful

B、work with hands is low work

C、work with hands is the most important

D、we can’t regard work with hands as low work B

“I know they are coming then.” Answered Tommy, “and will bring them back tomorrow, but my big brother does not want them to be out of house at night in case they are stolen.”

The most precious fluid on earth is not oil, but water.Water is basic to life and health.A person can survive several days or even weeks without food, but only a short time without water.Over 1 billion people worldwide have no access to safe drinking water.There are few challenges as important as conserving the world's usable water and supplying clean drinking water and water for irrigation to those who need it.Yet this work is not getting done.Humans are depleting the earth's store of usable water at a rate that will soon threaten our food supply.Poor water management already kills millions of people a year and condemns hundreds of millions to hunger.The technology exists to solve these problems.Providing slums（貧民區(qū)）with drinking water and sanitation, for example, is easy to do and a cost-effective way to prevent deaths and disease.But because those who suffer are poor, their access to water is rarely a political priority.There is now an opportunity for progress.More than 100 water ministers from around the world, along with thousands of water experts from villagers to scientists, have gathered in the Netherlands.The conference will be useful if it can persuade governments and international banks to pay more attention to conservation and fair distribution of water.In 1980, the U.N.set a goal of safe drinking water for all by 1990.Because of international prodding（激勵）, about two billion new people received clean drinking water over the subsequent 14 years.A new commitment is urgently needed to spread these health gains, help poor farmers and conserve the world's precious supply of usable water.B

In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life.In another way, failure may be a way towards success.The “spider story” often told, Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English.He watched a spider spinning a web(蜘蛛織網(wǎng)).The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock.He tried six times without success.On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web.Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English.?Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.So what? First, always think about your failure.What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top form yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time? Second, is the goal(目標(biāo))you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be.Think about this question.“If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it’s a part of life.Learn to “l(fā)ive with yourself” even though you may have failed.Remember, “You can’t win them all.”

Finland is perhaps the most beautiful and mysterious(神秘的)one of the countries of northern Europe.Two-thirds of its surface is covered with thick forests and among them lie lakes, connected with rivers and canals.The northern part of this country is inside the Arctic Circle, where almost no trees can grow because of its cold weather and the people use their deer for transport, clothing and food.The Finnish history began in the Middle Ages.In about 1155, Finland was conquered by its western neighbouring Sweden.After a period of rule by Denmark in the 14th century, the Swedes won back independence and power in 1523 under their brave king.During the Napoleonic Wars(1804~1818)Finland was passed finally from Sweden to Russia.The opportunity came in 1917, when the Russian Revolution brought foreign rule of Finland to an end.Shortly after Soviet Russia made peace with Germany, 1919 saw the founding of the Finnish Republic.The years between the First and Second World Wars were years of progress and growing development.Finland has no coal or oil, and the nation’s wealth lies in the timber(木材)from its forests, which supplies material for paper and furniture making, and in the electric power from its water.A

Francis Bacon, one of the most important philosophers of England, was born in London and educated at Cambridge University.When he was only 15, he went to France to work for the English ambassador（大使）.Two years later he went up to England to study law.At the age of twenty-three he was elected to parliament(議會).His ideas about how scientists should study things in nature help to bring about the modern way of thinking, called the scientific method.One of the Bacon best-known books was his Essays.Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying, conversation, friends and healthful living.In many of his books, Bacon explained how scientists should study things as they really exist in nature and then try to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it is.Later, by doing experiments, the scientist could see that any cause would always have the same result.This method, which is called inductive(歸納)reasoning, is used by all the scientists today, but it was new in Bacon’s time.B
