题目
题型:不详难度:来源:
To save yourself from embarrassment (尴尬), it’s good to read a few books or research online about the culture and customs of the country you plan to visit.
Clothing: Wearing shorts in public is generally not acceptable in most parts of the world, including some European countries.
Greetings: Handshake is a usually accepted form of greeting, although in some countries, like Japan, a traditional bow(鞠躬) is preferred. Be careful how you talk with someone; don’t use first names unless you are invited to do something.
Language/Gestures: learn some polite expressions (hello-goodbye-thank you) and relax. English is pretty common worldwide, especially in tourist areas and you can always use body language to get your message across. However, some Americans gestures have different meanings in other countries. For example, in Bulgaria, shaking your head usually means  “yes”; shaking it “vertically” means “ no”.
Food/Drink: you may find yourself looking down at a local delicious snake soup in china, sheep’s eyes in Saudi Arabia… and wonder what to do; especially you are guests in someone’s home. Be brave, take small bites, and pretend it tastes like something you like. Remember that some Buddhists don’t eat beef, and Muslims don’t eat pork. If you are eating with Muslims, never touch food with left hand (the left hand is for bathroom use).
Conversations: if you know the history and culture of the country, you will be confident. The French are angry at the classic American question: “What do you do for a living?” and so on.
小题1:You should learn about _______ of the country if you want to go to another country.
A.the people and the food
B.the culture and customs
C.the language and people
D.the behavior and conversations
小题2:A Japanese meet you for the first time, he/ she will ________.
A.shake hands with youB.hug with you
C.kiss youD.bow to you
小题3:In Bulgaria, shaking your head usually means______________.
A.yesB.noC.victoryD.calm down
小题4:Which of the following isn’t right?
A.You can’t wear shorts in public in most parts of the world.
B.You can use body language to communicate with people.
C.You can use your left hand to touch food when you eat with Muslims.
D.You can get along well with people you visit if you know their culture and customs well.

举一反三
When my wife left this world, I chose to travel in Antigua looking for a peaceful place to rest my old body. Not quite old and weak, I felt I wanted something more than the usual hotel room with 24-hour room service.
I decided this year to try something completely new and booked myself a private holiday home in Antigua. This was the best decision I had ever made, as there was plenty to do, plenty to see and lots of lovely restaurants to visit. There was a private swimming pool, and a cool, wide yard where I ate my breakfast most mornings.
Antigua has to be one of the loveliest places on earth to spend a holiday. The bright blue sea and the endless blue around the beach areas proved to be an excellent place for me to spend the long afternoons.
I had to hurry to do what I wanted to do before the holiday came to an end. I managed to visit the Sugar Mill and Shirley Heights on my last two days and yet found myself wondering whether I could extend for a few more days.
I rented a boat and came home after a day’s sailing, refreshed, looking forward to dinner. Everything is so pleasant on these beautiful islands, swept by the trade winds and warmed by the sun for so many summer months. The food just tasted better to me, perhaps because I was having such a great holiday. There was always someone to have a drink with---- that’s what I liked most.

A.It had a private swimming pool.

D.It supplied delicious seafood to the writer.
小题2:The word “extend” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”.
A.make something last longer
B.make you feel happy
C.prevent from entering
D.sell goods to foreign countries
小题3:The most important reason for the writer to travel in Antigua was ______.
A.there was bright blue sea
B.there was endless blue sky
C.there were lots of lovely restaurants
D.there were many people to drink with
小题4:The passage is most likely to be taken from a part of ______.
A.a tour guideB.a travel diary

“Who needs a shopping mall if you have Taobao?” said Wang Lin, 28, a writer in Beijing.
Taobao, China’s largest online shopping site, has become an important part of Wang Lin’s life. She spends lots of money on Taobao.
A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Wang Lin have found the joys of online shopping. Most online shoppers are students or young people. More women shop online than men. Clothing and home-use products (产品)are the most popular online.

You may question the security(安全)of online shopping, Wang Lin said, “It’s very safe and convenient. Unless(除非) you receive the products from the sellers and are satisfied with them, the shop owner will not get the money. You can also get your money back if you want to return the products.”

On my first job, I worked as a sports editor for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my readers, so I was   l  that there was an envelope(信封)on my desk one morning. From the   2 , I could see it was from a most popular newspaper.
When I opened it, I found a note and it read, “You did a good job. Go on!”
The note was   3  by Mr. John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand(新手), his words made me   4  . After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. Whenever I doubted  5  I had the ability to be a good editor(编辑) , I would read John’s note and become  6  again.
Later, when I made friends with Mr. John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to   7  young people in many fields. “When I make   8  feel happy,” he told me, “I feel happy, too.”   9 , why are there few note writers like John in our life? In my   10 , many people are afraid that they cannot be well understood. Also, writing takes more time and it is not  11  to pick up the phone. The problem with phone calls is that they cannot   12   a long time, but a note is a good way of record and our words can be read   13 .
So, when you find some people around you need   14 , please write a note of encouragement to bring them more confidence. Maybe, you are not sure what will  15 , but remember Mr. John’s words—making others feel happy makes you happy, too.
