at a table with people you
don"t know,
it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.
At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You
may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.
Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants,
though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
Servings in restaurants are often large, too large for many people. If you can"t finish your meal but
would like to enjo
y the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a "doggie bag". It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you"re taking the food for yourself. Supper and dinner are both
words for the evening meal. Some people have "Sunday dinner". This is an especially big noon meal.
Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip
of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants,
a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you
your change.

举一反三
He told of different men and of strange civilizations, broken up by long dark ages in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we were just the First
Men. In 2 000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth of "last men".
However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some
possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred? The next million? That"s much more difficult.
When men and women lived by hunting 50 000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture
modem life? Yet to men of 50 000 years from now, we may seem as primitive(原始的) in our ideas as
the Stone Age hunters to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spindles, or
struggling with their ballalators through the tribes. These words, which I have just made up, have to
stand for things and ideas that we simply can"t think of.
So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we
remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think
our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live
on because we are careless or greedy or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of
excuses for us. Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we
may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future
men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set your imagination free when you think
about the future.
B. serves as an introduction to the discussion
C. shows a disagreement of views
D. shows the popularity of the book
that .
B. life has changed a great deal
C. it is useless to plan for the next 50 years
D. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future
B. ideas about modem life
C. unknown things in the future
D. hunting skills in the Stone Age
B. enable us to better understand human history
C. help us to improte farming
D. make life worth living

ize others,as they are similar to or different from it.And unfortunately,our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (扭曲的) one.
Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages.It is only
by traveling in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can
find out what a country and its people are really like.And how different the knowledge one
gains this way frequently turns out to be from the secondhand information gathered from
other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different
people from ourselves are
not very different at all!Differences between peoples do,of course,exist and,one hopes,will always continue to
do so.The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly
alike,and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs.With the
much greater rapidity (快速) and ease of travel,there might seem to be some truth in this at
least as far as Europe is concerned.However this may be,at least the greater ease of travel
today has revealed (展示) to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman
or German is not:some different kind of animal from themselves.
B．normal
C．similar to each other
D．different from its own
B．argue in favor of this country and the language
C．know the country and its people better
D．like its inhabitants and their language
B．gathered from other sources rather than its inhabitants
C．gained from the arguments about the country
D．different from what one had before the travel
B．differences between peoples do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alike
C．differences between peoples will continue to exist and the world will be a dull place
D．differences between peoples will not exist as one hopes
B. The main transportation there
C. Who usually goes there?
D. Getting around and enjoying more
E. Why do young people go there?
F. Where is it on earth in the world?
Introduction
Consisting of 10 main islands and eight smaller islets off the west coast of Africa, Cape Verde is an
archipelago with a lot to offer tourists, whether they are looking for a relaxing beach holiday, great
surfing or a hiking trip in valcanic and mountainous landscape. Sal, the main tourist island, has wonderful
sandy beaches to rival any in the world and also fantastic surfing and diving spots. With its warm climate
all year round, wonderfully dirverse landscapes, friendly locals and great food and music, Cape Verde
really is an attractive destination.
1.
With year round warmth and cold ocean currents helping to keep the temperatures from rising too
high, Cape Verde has an attractive climate for torists, and the majority of visitors are Western Europeans.
The people who go to Cape Verde for the beach life tend to be families, while it is quite a young,
adventureseeking crowed that goes there for the diving or surfing.
2.
Cape Verde is located in the Atlantic Ocean some 500 km to the west of the Afican continent. Indeed, the name itself is taken from the name of that westernmost tip, which can be found on Senegal. The
islands are divided into two groups-the Barlavento (windward islands) and the Sotavento (leeward
islands).
3.
With warm sunny days year round there really is no bad time to go to Cape Verde. Some visitors
might preder to visit in winter and spring when daytime temperatures are a couple of degrees cooler and
rarely exceed 25°C.
4.
The resorts on Sal have plenty of facilities for families and the beaches by Santa Maria are great for
kids, with their white, fine sand. On some of the islands it is possible to do a bit of bird and turtle
spotting without intruding too much on their habitats, and on Sao Vicente and Santiago it is possible to
go horse riding.
5.
On the islands public transport services are by minibuses or trucks. Taxis in central areas are cheap.
Between the islands of Santiago, Sao Vicente and Sal there are flights at least once daily. Flights to the
other islands are less frequent. TACV Cabo Verde Airlines (www.flytacv.com) is the main operator.
There are regular ferry services between the islands, but departures are sometimes unpredictable.
Olympics,they held poetry contests as well as athletic competitions.
Now,poetry competitions have been revived (恢 复)．This year 120,000 high school students
competed in the first Poetry Out Loud National Recitation Contest,performing poems from memory for
$100,000 in prizes.
The first competitions were held in classrooms.The winners went on to schoolwide contests,and then
they competed in city and state competitions.Finally,the 50 state champions,along with the District of
Columbia champion came to Washington,D.C.last week for the last showdown.After the 51 champions
competed against one another,12 went on to the finals.Then the field was narrowed to five.The final five
had one last chance to "perform" a poem.The overall champ,Jackson Hille,a high school senior from Ohio,
won a $20,000 scholarship.
The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started Poetry Out Loud because
they realized that hearing a poem performed is a different experience from reading it on a page.
It"s not just a matter of saying the words in the right order.It"s the tone of voice,the pauses,the gestures,
and the attitude of the person performing that bring the words to life."Each time we hear somebody recite
a poem,we find something fresh and interesting about it," says National Public Radio Broadcaster Scott
Simon,master of ceremonies for the finals.Hearing it in a new voice offers something new to the listener.
Not only do the people hearing poems have a new experience,memorizing and presenting poems helps
the participants (选手) understand those poems in a new way.Another benefit of a competition such as
Poetry Out Loud is that the participants learn publicspeaking skills that can help them for life.
B．the Olympics used to start with poem reciting
C．poems were spread orally in the past
D．athletes were asked to recite poems before competing
B．Four
C．Five.
D．Six.
B．help listeners find their interest
C．make listeners learn the words
D．offer something new to listeners
B．write good poems themselves
C．change their attitudes towards life
D．make friends with many great poets
B．Remembering a lot of poems is fun.
C．Poets have a great time.
D．Poetry competitions freshen us up.
alike.Learning through drama allows children to explore their creativity and have fun while leaving their
shyness and worries behind.Drama also works by supporting the growth of imagination and other skills.
Entertainment has become rather passive with cinema, television, and video games.These
screenbased methods have had a negative effect on communication.However, drama puts the
"getupandgo" back into entertainment.Children have the opportunity to connect with others in a more
meaningful way as drama encourages speech development and awareness of body language, and allows
the children to become more socially aware.
Play and drama are closely linked.When children play a game, they are pretending and using their
imagination and so they are moving away from reality to create their own story.Drama is a vehicle
through which children can express themselves more freely through mime (哑剧表演), gesture,
movement, and speech to make education fun.
Children gain confidence by understanding that there is no final answer in drama and that their
opinion and contribution are valued.Children are able to give a personal response to many issues and
situations such as poverty, bullying, global warming and recycling.The issues that drama can deal with
are endless.Drama and education have a strong link as drama can encourage children to take an active
interest in other subjects such as geography, history, and English and so they can have a more rounded
education.
As a drama teacher, I have witnessed children at their first class holding onto their parents"
arms-unwilling to let go.Then to see the same child later running into my class with smiles is an excellent
sight.Drama installs confidence in children by allowing them to improvise (即兴创作) and experiment.
Everyone is given the opportunity to shine within drama.Besides learning the history of the theatre,
drama covers dance, music, and directing, etc.These classes are especially designed to be of great fun.
1. Performing drama is likely to help children________.
A. invent something useful

C. Need for communication.
D. Negative effects on children.
4. We can know from the fourth paragraph that________.
A. children"s opinions are very important
B. drama has a weak connection with education
