分析文章大意：文章讲的是英国和美国吃饭的礼仪，特别讲到了哪些是礼貌的和哪些是不礼貌的礼仪．

解答 54-57：AABA
54题答案：工推理题．文章说You should not be upset（不安的）if your English friends don't invite you home（你不必因为你的英语朋友没邀请你而感到不安），后面接着说明原因 It doesn't mean they don't like you（这并不意味着他们不喜欢你），故最有可能就是他们也喜欢你，故选A．
55题答案：A 细节题，文章讲了很多礼貌的行为，后面提到it's not polite to ask how much things cost，故问价格是不礼貌的，选A．
56题答案：B 细节题．由于用了start …then…．and then…followed by coffee等表示先后的词，但最后落到了coffee上面，故选B．
57题答案：A细节题从Ask your hosts（主人）what time you should arrive可知A正确，外国人最讲究准时，其它三个答案并没有提到，选A．

点评本文讲述了在英国人家里做客吃饭要注意的一些注意点．本文所设试题主要考察细节查找，对于文章中的细节题，要注意文本内容的理解．关键是找出原文的根据，认真核查题支和原文的异同，常犯错误有：绝对化语言，范围扩大或缩小，以偏概全，张冠李戴等．带着问题，再读全文，找出答题所需要的依据，完成阅读．

2．阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后第62到71小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．
A serious problem for today's society is who should be responsible（有责任的） for our elderly and how to improve their lives．It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society．I would like to suggest several possible ways to this problem．
First，employers（雇主） should take the responsibility for their retired（退休的） employees．To make this possible，1% of profits（利润） should be left for this purpose．But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees，it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage because of higher employee costs．
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual（个人）．This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement．This does not seem a very fair model since some people find that it's difficult for them to pay for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years．This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor．
In addition，the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly．The government could provide more money through government taxes to increase the level of pensions（养老金）．What's more，some institutions（社会福利机构） should be created for senior citizens，which can help provide a comfortable life for them．Unluckily，as the present situation in our country shows，this is not a truly practical answer．The government doesn't have enough money to care for the elderly，particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young．
One further solution is that the government or social organizations set up some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent．
In short，all these measures have advantages and disadvantages．Therefore，we are expecting to combine（结合）these measures so that we can provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations．

Title	The elderly should be （62）taken more care of．
Topic	Who should be （63）responsible to improve the lives of the elderly？
（64）Suggestions/Solutionsto the problem	★（65）Companies/Employers． should give 1% of profits to their employees，but this may cause a commercial （66）disadvantage．
	★Some individuals should save during his working years to pay for the years when he is retired，but the others have （67）difficulty paying for their daily life．
	★More （68）money could be provided through government taxes to increase the level of pensions．However，when the government is busy trying to look after the young，it can hardly （69）afford to care for the elderly．
	★Workplaces for the elderly should be （70）built/created by the government or social organizations．
Conclusion （总结）	We are expecting to combine these measures in （71）order to provide the care for the elderly

19．"No man is an island"is a well-known line from John Donne's Devotion．It was written more than three hundred years ago．Even now people still agree with him．No one can live a completely lonely life．Without other people，life will become empty and sad．We all need to have friends．
For some of us，although making friends is not difficult，feeling shy，we may not want to make the first move．It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have．
There are many books about friendship，but Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People，written in 1936，is the most famous．This"how to"book about getting along with other people became a best seller．It was later put into 28languages．
Dale Carnegie's advice seems to be simple，but can his advice help you？Do you need to change the way you act？Here is the list of advice from his book：

Always greet with a smile．Begin with"Excuse me"or"Would you please"when you want to ask somebody．Remember to say"Thank you"and try to be as helpful as you can．
?Go out of your way to be nice．
Find some time to do special things for other people．Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you，but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better．
?Remember names．
They say that the sweetest music to a person's ears is the sound of his or her own name．
?Be open-minded．
Try to understand other people's ways and ideas and learn something from them．
?Listen patiently．
When someone is talking to you，look at him or her，listen carefully and say something when necessary．
