    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 (点头) 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 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 (成人) ——it's just not done in Thailand .

    　　When people visit Switzerland for the first time, they look with great interest, not only at the mountains but also at a type of clock－a Cuckoo-clock, on sale there．Cuckoo-clocks are very popular with tourists looking for a souvenir．A Cuckoo-clock has a small painted cuckoo that comes out near the top of the clock every half an hour and says,“Cuckoo”．Every hour it comes out and says“Cuckoo”the right number of times．It does not get a sore throat at midnight or mid-day!Children find these clocks wonderful．Adults gradually get annoyed because the cuckoo never misses an hour or a half hour, and this makes a short sleep in an armchair rather difficult．

    　　In Europe, the cuckoo's call is a welcome sign that summer is on the way．This is the time when the mother cuckoo flies round, looking for a nest(巢)to lay one of her eggs．She chooses a nest belonging to another bird which already has eggs．When the nest is left unnoticed for a minute or two, the cuckoo rushes down, lays an egg and hurries off．In this way, she may lay her eggs in as many as four different nests, not one of which has been built by herself．

    　　When a cuckoo egg hatches(孵化), the baby bird is bigger and stronger than the other nestlings．Step by step, it pushes other baby birds and any unhatched eggs out of the nest．In this way, it receives all the food from its foster-parents(养父母)and has a better chance of surviving．

    B．

    The bird has a beautiful way of singing．

    C．

    This bird is used to tell the time in Switzerland．

    D．

    It makes them think that warmer weather is coming．

    (5)

    What may other birds think when a cuckoo lays an egg in their nest?

    [　　]

    A．

    They push it out of their nest．

    B．

    It seems that they don't know what has happened．

    C．

    They don't like it but cannot do anything about it．
