business center. It is an interesting mix of East and West, old and new. Modern tall buildings are
next to small temples (庙宇). Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy people
fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing.

试题【阅读理解 Two magazines recently listed the best cities to live in. Here are tw】;主要考察你对社会历史类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
do know whose turn it is. But there still are some rules. For example, don’t speak loudly, or snap your
fingers. And whatever you do, please don’t ring the bell hanging behind the counter(柜台)-this is used
by the boss to tell people it’s closing time. Remember if you look too pleased and happy, the bar workers
will think they have served you.
In a British bar always say "please" and try to remember the things that the British bar workers hate.
For example, they don’t like people to keep others waiting when they can’t decide what to drink. They
don"t
like people standing against the bar when there are a lot of customers waiting for service.
One tourist who spent six months interviewing 50 bosses and more than 1,000 customers said, "I can
not understand how the British are able to buy themselves a drink. But they do, and if you follow these
rules you should be able to do so, too."
Talking of tips(小费), you should never offer the bar workers a cash gratuity(现金小费). The correct behavior is to invite them to drink something. If so, they will think that their work is worthy. A cash gratuity is unfriendly and impolite.
B. attracting people
C. showing the price of the drinks
D. telling people the closing time
B. you are very friendly
C. you need more drinks
D. you are very pleased with their drinks

Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset(不安的) if your English friends don"t invite you home. It doesn"t mean they don"t like you.
Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 pm and end at about 11. Ask your hosts (主人) what
time you should arrive. It"s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.
Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks (小吃). If you want to be extra polite, say how much
you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember: it"s not polite to ask how much things cost.
In many families, the husband sits at one of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with
their guests.
You"ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you"ll have meat or fish with
vegetables, and then dessert (甜点心), followed by coffee. It"s polite to finish everything on your plate
and to take more if you want it.
Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short "thank you" letter. British
and American people like to say "thank you, thank, thank you" all the time!

(singer for the band U2), and maybe they wil say “green”. That’s not because these artists particularly like
the color green. Instead, they are interested in green fashion.
Green fashion is about making(and wearing)clothes that are good for humans, animals, and the Earth.
In the past, green fashion made people think of hippies(嬉皮士)and ugly clothes. But today, green fashion is different. It is about looking good and caring about the Earth and other people. You can have interesting clothes and be green.
Around the world, green fashion is becoming popular. For example, the UK.company People Tree sells men"s and women’s clothing and accessories(附件). They are made from natural fabrics(面料) like
cotton and wool. Workers who make the clothes are from countries like Nepal, Kenya, and Bangladesh. People Tree pays the men and women good money for the clothes they create.
Singer Bono and his wife also started a clothing company called EDUN. When the clothes sell, EDUN uses most of the money to help people around the world.

C. putting green things on the face
D. wearing clothes that are good for the Earth

The expression "Go for it!" is a way of encouraging someone to try something.
"Go for it!" means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take a chance
and be brave.
"Go for it!" gets its name from football. But it is not the football played in most countries such as
England, France or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada.
One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three tries, to move
the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a very important decision.
The conservative(保守的)choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary defeat (暂时失败)in
order to get a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball. The more exciting choice,
however, is to try a fourth and final time to get the remaining yards needed.
People now are certain to shout their advice. Some will shout, "Kick the ball!" But others will
encourage the team to take a chance. "Go for it!" they will shout loudly.
In the 1980"s, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations(情形) to encourage
someone to act bravely.
There is no guarantee(保证) that the action you "Go for it!" will succeed. But when you decide to
go for it, you only consider your action. That is the chance you can take. You put your fears behind.
You choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it.
B. You should take a chance and be brave.
C. You should go to school and ask teachers for help.
D. You should be very careful.
B. French
C. Japanese
D. American
B. action
C. result
D. success
B. We try to improve our English for better education.
C. We need to make a quick decision at the last moment
D. We have to make a choice between success and failure.
I like your programmes very much. I"m now writing to ask you something about American social
customs .My American friends want me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy and have
decided to go, but I"m a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different
from here, so I"m afraid of making mistakes. Should I bring a present, such as sweets or flowers? Should
I arrive on time or a little late?
At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I"m
thankful for their kindness?
Wang Lin
Dear Wang Lin,
It"s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or
you may bring a bottle of wine if you know that your friends drink it. You should arrive on time or five to
ten minutes late. Don"t get there early. If you"re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should
call and tell them. Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don"t know about choosing the right fork or
knife, just watch the other
people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you. If you like
the food, say so. Of course, you"ll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It"s also a good idea
to send a thank you card the day after.
