    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    Many years ago, I had my first chance to visit Russia. "Russians are a very polite people," I had been told before my arrival. One of my friends explained that a gentleman will pour the lemonade for the ladies and show other good manners.
    Toward the end of my three-week trip, I was invited by my Russian friend Nicolai Vasilevich and his wife Yulya out to dinner. At the end of a wonderful meal, Yulya asked if I would like a banana. I politely declined(婉谢) and thanked her, and explained I was most satisfied with the meal. But my mind was racing: "What should I do? Should I offer her a banana though they are as close to her as they are to me? What is the polite thing to do?"
    "Would you like a banana?" I asked Yulya.
    "Yes," she smiled, but didn't try to take any of the three bananas in the fruit basket.
    "Which one would you like?" I asked again.
    "That one," she pointed at one of the bananas. So thinking about Russian politeness, f picked the banana Yulya had pointed at. Then I peeled it half way and handed it to her.Smiles on Yulya's and Nicolai's faces told me I had done the right thing. Alter this experience, I spent much time letting the world know that in Russia, the polite thing was to peel bananas for ladies.
    However, sometime during my third trip i learned I was wrong.
    "Oh no, David," a Russian politely corrected me.  "In Russia, when a man peels a banana for a lady, it means he has a romantic interest in her." How embarrassed (尴尬) I felt.
    So to communicate properly with people of different cultures, we should watch carefully how people of the same culture communicate with each other. Besides, don’t be afraid to ask questions about their culture.
    小题1:Before his first visit to Russia, the writer learned Russian gentlemen are polite to____.
    A．foreignersB．strangersC．friendsD．women
    小题2:The underlined word "peeled" in Paragraph 6 means "_________".
    A．took the skin off something
    B．put something hack
    C．made something clean
    D．cut something in two
    小题3:Which of the following seems to be true according to the passage?
    A．The writer's third trip lasted about three weeks.
    B．Russian gentlemen never peel bananas for ladies.
    C．The writer tried to follow Russians~ behavior in Russia.
    D．Yulya was pleased with the writer's behavior but Nicolai wasn't.

         Almost everyone knows about the Chupa Chups, the lollipop＊. And people often talk about its
    interesting advertisements. Do you know, however, it was invented more than half a century ago by a man
    called Bernat?
         In the early 1950s, Bernat worked for an apple jam＊ factory. After he came up with the idea of making
    lollipops, the people who offered money to the company left. Bernat took over the company in 1958 and
    named it Chupa Chups. He built the machines and sold candy on a wooden stick for one peseta＊ each.
         Bernat got the idea of a "candy with a stick" from a mother who complained a lot as her child got dirty
    hands when eating candy. Bernat felt that at that time, candy was not designed with the main customers-
    children-in mind. Later, shopkeepers were told to put the lollipops near the cash register＊ where children
    could reach easily, instead of behind it.
         The Chupa Chups company was a success. In five years, Bernat's lollipops were being sold at 300,000 to
    other countries. When they were first created, the lollipop sticks were made of wood, but then they were
    changed to plastic sticks because there was too little wood in Spain. After the end of the Francisco Franco
    dictatorship＊ (1939-1975), the company went international. In the 1970s the colorful lollipops appeared in
    Southeast Asian countries, such as Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia, as well as Australia. In the 1980s it
    went to the European and North American markets, and in the 1990s to most Asian countries. In China they
    were made by Tatagum in Panyu, near Guangzhou. As of 2003, 4 billion lollipops a year were sold to 150
    countries. The company has 2000 workers, makes 90% of its sales abroad, and has a turnover＊ of 
    ?500,000,000.
          In 1991, Bernat's son Xavier took over the "Chupa Chups" and made his father enjoy the rest of his life.
    1. Who was the lollipop invented by?
    A. Bernat.
    B. Xavier.
    C. Some kids.
    D. A mother.
    2. What does the underlined phrase take over in the first and fifth paragraphs mean?
    A. 毁坏
    B. 接管
    C. 背叛
    D. 收拾
    3. Why does the writer use so many numbers in paragraph 4?
    A. Because the writer likes Chupa Chups very much.
    B. Because the writer wants to tell us that he has been to many countries.
    C. Because the writer wants to show that the Chupa Chups company was a success.
    D. Because the writer wants to tell us people all over the world know about Chupa Chups.
    4. What's the best title for this article?
    A. Kids Love Chupa Chups
    B. A Clever Man Called Bernat
    C. How The Lollipop Was Invented
    D. The History Of Chupa Chups
