Passage 1Social customs differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn’t it matter? What about table manners?Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one in your lap, or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness (迅速) is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o’clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time o r calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable –especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.6. If one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he is to be late for the dinner?A. He should find an excuse.B. He should ask for excuse.C. He should say “Sorry”D.

This passage mainly tells us something about __________.A. social customs and behaviorB. the same customs of America and EnglandC. good mannersD. social lifePassage 2When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West, you often see a lot of people walking dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world. But the reasons why people keep a dog have changed.In the old days, people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks by other beasts. And later, they came to realize that the dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dogs would not eat what was caught without permission. But now, people in the city need not protect themselves against attacks of an animal.Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery, but the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.11.
