  Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you see the manners of your foreign friends, you will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own.

  A visitor to India should remember that they are impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a rotating(转)movement of the head is to show agreement. In Bulgaria you shake your head to show “yes”—a nod to show “no”.

  In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs while sitting and talking to someone, even at an important meeting. But doing this could cause offence to a Thailander. Also touching the head of a grown-up is impolite. It's just not done in Thailand.

  American informality is well known. But we Chinese are very likely to regard it as a lack of respect when we first encounter(遇见)it, especially in the business world. The almost immediate use of first names upsets Chinese who are not used to it.

  We should not be surprised if Americans don't shake hands with us. They often just nod or smile. And they simply say “Hi”or“Hello”. Americans at a party are not likely to say“goodbye”to everyone when they leave. They just wave their hands or say something informal to the whole group such as“Well, see you tomorrow”or“So long everybody”. Then they disappear, no handshakes, for Americans have different senses of timing and pace from us. We need to understand this if we want to understand Americans.

  Knowing about manners is useful when you are traveling, but you need to know the language used to express for ritual(礼节).

[  ]

A.usually use their left hand impolitely

B.don't often use their left hand to pass food at a table

(3) A Thailander will be angry if you ______.

[  ]

A.touch his head

B.cross your legs while you are talking to him

C.shake your head

D.both A and B

(4) From the passage, we can know American are ______.

[  ]

A.polite
B.impolite
C.informal
D.rude

(5) We can infer from the passage that ______.

[  ]

A.you should not touch a grown-up's head in India

完形填空 :通读下面的短文, 掌握其大意, 然后在1—25各题所给的四个选项中, 选出   一个最佳答案。  

     When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or   for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For   I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story   than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember   the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For   instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the   story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and   cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in   the speech of a 13 character.

           

   Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and   so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (费心)   about the language. But the case is quite different with a 17 of   English. I mean a student of English is different from a student of   stories or 18 is called the general reader.

           

   As you may also have 19 from the above, you ought to read very 20.   Not only very carefully but also aloud, and that again and again 21   you know the passage by heart and can 22 it as if it were your own.   Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases;   negatively (负面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in   expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent   copying is a help to 25 by heart.

Geoffrey Moorhouse's Travel Plan

  Geoffrey Moorhouse was flying home to England from Africa in 1971, when he looked __1__ the plane and suddenly thought how huge and __2__ the Sahara Desert was. There and then, he decided to __3__ it by himself by camel.

  For many __4__ men had crossed the Desert from the __5__ and south to trade. But there had been __6__ point in crossing from __7__ to east. So no one had done it __8__ 1963, when twelve Belgians drove across. If he went __9__, by camel, it would be __10__. Moorhouse did not __11__ to go just for fun. But what other __12__ was there? Immediately he knew. He would go because he was afraid. “I would use this journey to __13__ for fear.”

  A year passed __14__ he was free to begin his __15__. He was forty. He had never __16__ a camel. He spoke no Arabic. And he did not know how to __17__ himself by the stars. His friends thought he would soon __18__ such an impossible plan.

  He did not. To take advantage of(利用)the desert winter, he decided to __19__ England early in October 1972. He had six months to get __20__. He began learning Arabic-school lessons in the __21__, and listening to __22__ at home in the afternoon. He made a lot of visits to the London Zoo to learn about camels. At night, he studied the __23__. Maps and compass(指南针)are not enough in the desert. You must know __24__ where you are, and for that you must be able to “read” the stars with a sextant(六分仪).

  Moorhouse planned to begin his __25__ from the Atlantic coast of Africa, and ride through Mauritania, Mali, Algeria and Libya into Egypt, where he hoped to reach the River Nile.

完形填空

  Many people see a person who can't read or spell as disabled, but what does disabled really mean? Well, with Andrew Mertzit of Maryland it meant he would not be 1 to attend his school any more. Andrew's 2 is that whenever he is reading, he sees the letters p, d, q and b as a 3 and stick. Since Andrew's teachers couldn't 4 him much, Suzanne, Andrew's mother decided to take 5 in her own hands. She decided to home school Andrew. In ten months, Suzanne, a trained reading specialist tried many different 6 to help Andrew with his disability. She helped Andrew with making letters out of sand, rice and shaving cream. Now, about nine years later Andrew is 7 having some problems with reading, but certainly a lot better than before.

  Lately researchers have been finding many different ways to help learning disabled students by 8 things like rice and shaving cream or even to get little computers. Also, nowadays there are schools all over that have programs to help disabled kids, unlike back in 1995 when Andrew had to be 9 schooled by his mother. But to help disabled students it takes about $ 8.12 billion. You probably think that's a lot of money, but if you 10 that in 1996 there were about 2.6 million kids who were disabled, it may not seem all that 11 . Even though a person may have a learning disability at a certain subject, like reading, it does not mean that he or she doesn't have a talent(才能)at something else. For example, 15 years ago when Joey Hollingsworth entered kindergarten, teachers said that Joey was very clever. Once Joey started getting 12 , his grades got lower. Lots of people just thought he was 13 and had discipline(纪律)problems. Many years later he finally was 14 for learning disabilities and found out he really did have a disability.

  Still many people believe kids like Joey who can't read or write are lazy. It's hard to understand that 15 a person doesn't look disabled, he can have problems with learning, and it's even harder for the 16 . But now they are getting close to understanding how learning disabilities start. Brain researchers have some new equipment. These machines 17 pictures of the brain while in 18 . They're learning a lot already by examining the brains of the people who have been 19 and who have learning disabilities. It is reported that some of these damaged brain cases are 20

like the picture we see all the time on the learning-disabled cases where we don't know the cause.
