A2
The customs(风俗) in different countries are rather different. If I have a dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly.
I have to eat the food even if I do not want to because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate. I have also noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he often refuses the offer of food or drink though he’s in fact still hungry or thirty. This might be good manners in China but is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something. Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “No, thanks” When an American is served with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I’ll take some orange juice if you have it.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States, you’d better remember the famous saying:“When in Room, do as the Romans do.”
( ) 6. From this passage we can see that the writer is _______.
A. Chinese
B. Roman
C. American
D. European
( ) 7. When a Chinese host kept putting more food onto the plate, the writer felt ______.
A. happy
B. sad
C. angry
D.
uncomfortable
( ) 8. In the West, people consider it bad manners _______.
A. to refuse an offer
B. to keep asking someone to
accept something
C. to eat much at dinner party
D. to ask for something
directly
( ) 9. A guest at an American’s dinner party should show his politeness by_____
A. not eating up all the food offered
B. putting more food onto his plate as soon as he emptied it
C. refusing the offer of food or drink though he is still hungry or thirsty
D. asking for things directly if he wants them
( ) 10. “When in Rome, do as Roman do” means ________.
A. The Romans are people of good manners
B. Americans always do the same things as the Romans do
C. you should get used to the local (当地的) customs ｗｈｅｒｅver you go
D. you should learn to do as Romans when in Rome

My granddaughter, 10, was very happy the day before yesterda because her mother
and the mother of one of her classmates took them to a park and a Pizza Hut (比萨饼
屋) to celebrate Children’s Day. For a whole day, the tw o girls playe heartily
-- no homework, no extra-curricular（课外）skills training. The happ life lasted
only for one day. Yesterday, everything returned to normal: doing homework till late
at night and going over lessons learned at last weekend’s English a n “Olympic mathematics”( 数学奥赛) courses.
Every time I went to my daughter’s house in the evening, I saw m granddaughter
sitting by the small desk in her room doing math exercises or writin a composition
given by her teacher. On the white wall behind the desk are some word she
wrote. One sentence reads: “Why is the exercise endless”
Poor girl!
Although teachers have stopped giving after-school homework t primary school
children, parents have been forcing their kids to take part in differen kinds of
extra- curricular training courses-- learning English, painting music instrument

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，在短文后36-40小题句子空白处
填入适当的词语或句子。

We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals
move from one place to another place at a certain time. They move for different
reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from
places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes
give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration
is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”（鲑鱼）. This fish is
born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There
it spends its
life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives
birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their
mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land.
Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when
they fall into the sea.
Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year,
when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into
a long line and start
to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows
ｗｈｅｒｅ they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to
another place, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just ｌｉｋｅ
to travel.
36. The reason for most of the animals to move is _to find food
more easily.
37. Find the word in the passage which means “ the movement from
one place to
another of a large group of animals” and wri te it down here: migration.
38. The underlined word “ There” in the second paragraph refers
to (指的是)
(in) salt water.
39. The salmon comes back to its birthplace in order to give birth
and die_.
40. The lobsters begin to move to another place when the season
of the bad weather arrives /
the bad weather arrives.
