Seven tips to good table manners
Whether it’s dinner at a friend
’s house or a business meeting over lunch, we judge people b ased on their table manners. But what can you do if your kids do not behave themselves at the dinner tables? The following are seven tips to set your children on the road to good table m anners:
●Look for the good. Instead of pointing out(指
出) all the things your children do wrong, point out what they d o right. Please say, for example, “ I am so proud of yu. It was wonderful the way you served yourself.”
●Don’t turn dinner into an unpleasant “lecture time”. That will t
urn kids off not only manners, but dinner, and you, too.
●Check your own example. Don’t show up for dinner in just yo ur underwear (内
衣) unless you want your kids to do the same.
●Don’t always consider your kids lazy and dirty ones. Instead, point out the behavior in a tender way. For example: “It’s a go od idea to unfold your napkin, so if food falls you won’t dirty y our clothes.”
●Teach your kids good manners in the form of a game. One n ight a week, try to have a formal dinner. Try dressing up, serv e a special meal, and expect more formal manners. That will help improve their sense ( 意识) of manners.
● Make kids understand part of the tradition. Invite guests ove r and let kids help serve them. This helps them indirectly learn about table manners.
●Try dining out once in a while. Fast food restaurants aren’t c ounted(算在
内). Try a nice restaurant and let kids order their own food, pa y the bill and give the tip.
44. The passage is mainly written for ____.
A. kids
B. parents
C. hosts
D. guests
45. Which of the following should parents do to help their kids
learn good table manners?
A. Try dining out in fast food restaurants once in a while
B. Point out what’s wrong with the kids’ behavior at dinner.
C. Keep telling the kids how to behave themselves at dinner .
D. Improve kids’ sense of manners by having a formal dinne r at times.
46. The kids should do the following EXCEPT ______.
A. going to a formal dinner in underwear
B. helping parents to serve the guests
C. ordering their own food and paying the bill
D. unfolding the napkin to keep their clothes clean
47. The underlined part “turn kids off” in the second tip probab ly mean “_____”
A. make kids pleased with
B. make kids interested in
C. make kids tired of
D. make kids fond of
D
The Internet and the World Web (网) are great places to be ri ght now. We use the word "place" because so many of the thi ngs you can do online are similar to the things you can do wh erever people gather together－
in homes , schools , libraries , shopping centers , or at family r eunions or town meetings. The Net allows people to learn sho p, find important information, and communicate, whether they' re local, global or simply virtual (虚的) .
The Web is useful. You can find old friends online. You can re search and book flights, check the weather, find breaking new s, find out information about schools and colleges. Yon can ev en place an order for books, CDs, computers and cars.
The Internet is also fun. You can write to old friends or check out their web pages, enjoy web - based soap operas, laugh at online jokes, join in a live Net Event, chat with other Internet surfers(漫游
者) , check to see if your name appears anywhere on the Web .
Millions of users log on to the Net every day, and it's not just t o do research. There's a lot of fun there. That's one reason w hy it's called web "surfing".
Of course, the first step to using the Web for business or for f un is learning how to work a "web browser". If you're new to c
omputers, it may take a while before you are completely comf ortable with your browser. Don't worry. You don't have to be a computer whiz . The basics of a web browser are very m uch like the basics of modem computers－ -
learning how to point and click the mouse, learning how to scr oll up and down a page of text, and learning how to use pull - down menus. Again, be patient. There's no time limit on web s urfing . Give yourself a chance to explore (探
索) the browser itself while you explore the Web.
48. The writer compares the Web to _______.
A. places to visit
B. places to gather together in
C. some easy job
D. things you can do online
49. We can learn from the text that the Web is not only ______ _ but also
A. of great use; of great value
B. of great use; of great enjoym ent
C. useful; funny
D. of some use; of a little interest
50. To use the Web, all we have to do is to learn how to_____
___ .
A. use the computer mouse
B. scroll up and down a page of text
C. use pull- down menus
D. all the above

Seven tips to good table manners
Whether it’s dinner at a friend
’s house or a business meeting over lunch, we judge people based on their table manners. B ut what can you do if your kids do not behave themselves at the dinner tables? The following are seven tips to set your children on the road to good table manners:
●Look for the good. Instead of pointing out(指
出) all the things your children do wrong, point out what they do right. Please say, for exampl
e, “ I am so proud of yu. It was wonderful the way you served yourself.”
●Don’t turn dinner into an unpleasant “lecture time”. That will turn kids off not only manners, but dinner, and you, too.
●Check your own example. Don’t show up for dinner in just your underwear (内
衣) unless you want your kids to do the same.
●Don’t always consider your kids lazy and dirty ones. Instead, point out the behavior in a ten der way. For example: “It’s a good idea to unfold your napkin, so if food falls you won’t dirty y our clothes.”
●Teach your kids good manners in the form of a game. One night a week, try to have a form al dinner. Try dressing up, serve a special meal, and expect more formal manners. That will help improve their sense ( 意识) of manners.
● Make kids understand part of the tradition. Invite guests over and let kids help serve them. This helps them indirectly learn about table manners.
●Try dining out once in a while. Fast food restaurants aren’t counted(算在
内). Try a nice restaurant and let kids order their own food, pay the bill and give the tip.
