    In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的). No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .
    Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty. In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means ‘no’. At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up. If you think that you have had enough, you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.
    In Europe it’s quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble. Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult ——it's just not done in Thailand .
    小题1: The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _________.
    A．were foreignersB．didn't have tickets
    C．made a loud noiseD．didn't line up for the bus
    小题2:Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．If you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you only need to learn the language of the country.
    B．In India it is considered polite to touch an adult’s head.
    C．To cross one's legs at an important meeting in Europe is a common habit.
    D．In Bulgaria, if you don’t want to drink, you should cover the cup with your hand.
    小题3: The best title for this article is ________.
    A．People's Everyday Life　 　 B．Mind Your Manners
    C．Habit is quite important　 D．Language and customs

    小题1:D

    America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today,10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society (社会) in many ways —education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the growing of America has made us a very different society —one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.
    A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position (职位、地位), marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
    Many people say, ‘I am much younger than my mother—or my father—was at my age.’ No one says ‘ Act your age’ any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
    小题1:It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ______.
    A．has made people feel younger
    B．has changed people’s social position
    C．has changed people’s understanding of age
    D．has slowed down the country’s social development
    小题2:The underlined word ‘one’ in the first paragraph refers to____.
    A．a societyB．AmericaC．a placeD．population
    小题3:."Act your age " in the last paragraph means people should ______.
    A．be active when they are old
    B．do the right thing at the right age
    C．show respect for their parents young or the old
    D．take more physical exercise suitable to their age
    小题4:If a 20-year-old man becomes general manager of a big company, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ______.
    A．normal B．wonderful
    C．unbelievable D．unreasonable

    In the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women. And they all got the same answer: The sexes (性别) are different, because their brains are different. And this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways.
    Boys, for example, generally are better than girls at mathematical (数学的) ideas. Boys also generally are better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports. Girls, on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages.
    What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides connected by nerve(神经) tracks. The left side generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. The right side is used for artistic creation and the expression for emotions. In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it’s the area used for mathematics. In girls, it is the area used for language skills. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man’s brain are connected by smaller nerves than the two sides of a woman’s brain area.
    小题1:Which of the following is best to outline(概括) the article?
    A. Research on the Brain
    B. Differences between Men and Women
    C. Who are Better, Boys or Girls
    小题2:________ men and women think differently.
    A. The different brains make
    B. The different experiences make
    C. The influences of society make
    小题3:According to the article, girls are generally better than boys at _______ in your school.
    A. mathematics
    B. physics
    C. English
    小题4:Which of the following is true?
    A. The left side of brain in boys generally develops better than that in girls.
    B. The left side of brain in girls generally develops better than that in boys.
    C. The area in girls used for language skills develops better.
    小题5:In men and women the number of nerves connecting the halves of brain _______.

    With the development of economics (经济), the problem of left-behind children (留守儿童) has become a serious social problem. More and more people have realized we should do something to help them.
    One of the biggest problems is that the children are all hungry for the love from their parents. Many of them can just get a call or a letter from their parents half a year, a year or even several years, which makes some children lost their parents’ faces.

From a survey (调查) about their study, only two per cent of the children get good results, while ten per cent of them are common and eighty-eight per cent of them are poor. What a pity!

    Many Chinese students think American students enjoy more freedom than them at school. In fact, American schools also have their rules. If students break(违背) the rules, they will get punishment（惩罚）, too.  On the first day of a new term, 128 students of Morton High School were sent back home for wearing the wrong clothes. There are altogether(总共)1,200 students in the school. Usually only 20 students break the school dress rule every day. So the headmaster（校长）Theresa Mayerik said it was the worst new term she had ever seen.
    At Morton High School, students’ favorite clothes such as wide pants and low-necked shirts are not allowed( 允许). Some students think they have the right to choose what to wear, but the headmaster doesn’t think so.“ I’d be supportive if half the school was sent back home ,because 99% will get the message that our school is for education”

    Jane,
    After I left Paris I spent two days in New York City and one day in Washington DC. I got to Miami, Florida on Nov. 13. The weather is wonderful here. This morning I went swimming and then slept on the beach. When I woke up, I found Jennifer Lopez—my favorite movie star!  She was just on my right!  I asked her to take a picture with me. You know, that was my dream. She agreed!  I’m going to show you the picture.
    Yours,
    John
    Dear Dad,
    I got here after 18 hours on a train at last!  It’s very cold here in Moscow. It’s white everywhere. This afternoon I went to have a look at the city. I got lost. I was glad I took Russian lessons in my university. They helped me a lot. A young girl showed me the way back to my hotel. I think I can finish my work here and go back home soon. I’m longing for the warm sunshine at home. See you soon.
    Max
    Dear Amy,
    I arrived in Guilin yesterday. What a beautiful place!  The people are kind here and I have some new friends. Guess who I met here!  Tom, my high school classmate. How small the world is!  He is working here as an English teacher at a middle school. He showed me around the city. I also went to his school. I bought a special bag made in Guilin for you and a silk tablecloth for Mom. Tomorrow evening I’m going to fly to Beijing.
    Love,

    Train-spotting
    Many people around the world have seen Danny Boyle’s movie Train spotting starring Ewan McGregor, but how many of us really know what train-spotting is all about? Now this is not considered cool in town and the word “train-spotter” in Britain is related to “geek” or “nerd” (someone who seems very ridiculous). But is this reputation really deserved?
    First of all, let’s see what train-spotting is. It is said that there are some 100,000 train spotters in the UK. Exactly as the title suggests, they spot trains, that is, they stand in train stations, look at the number of each train that leaves and arrives and write it down. The eventual aim is to have seen every train in the country.
    Being crazy about railways and trains is not modern and it dates back to 1804. As the number of trains grew and they got faster and faster, so did the interest in them grow? Is this any stranger than people who love cars?
    So, what do you need to be a train-spotter? Well, all you really need is a pen or pencil and a notebook to write down the train numbers. Other equipment(装备) includes hot tea in a thermos, a camera and some sandwiches for those long afternoons spent on train platforms when you don’t want to risk the delights of railway station food.
    It’s interesting to note that despite the “bad name” of train-spotting, there have been famous railway lovers in history, such as Alfred Hitchcock, who filmed them regularly, especially The 39 Steps. There is evidence, too, that being a train-spotter is not necessarily a strange phenomenon（现象）in Britain.
    One glance at the US train stations should be enough to convince you that train-spotters there are alive and well. In America, they try to call rail lovers “train-fans” and talk of “train-fanning”. Don’t let this fool you—these people are train spotters and there are a lot of them. Each month, two million pages are visited on the website TrainWeb.org.                     
    340words
    小题1:What is train-spotting according to the passage?
    A．A kind of hobby.B．A type of sport.
    C．A strange phenomenon.D．A special job.
    小题2:Which of the following about train-spotters is true according to the passage?
    A．They number each train they see.
    B．They keep a careful path of every train.
    C．They count the trains passing in front of them.
    D．They produce films about trains with video cameras.
    小题3:The writer writes the passage to        .
    A．introduce some famous train-spotters
    B．encourage readers to do more train-spotting
    C．try to present a true picture of train-spotting
    D．describe the necessary equipment in train-spotting
    小题4: What do we learn from the passage?
    A．Train-spotters in the UK want to fool people.
    B．Train-spotting is more acceptable in America.
    C．Train-spotters are much stranger than car lovers.
    D．Train-spotting relates to（与…有关）a dangerous lifestyle.
