ANot all great meals come from restaurants. Some are served from carts and stalls, and eaten on the go. So-called street food is not only delicious, but can be found in nearly every country, rich or poor, says Carla Diamanti, co-author of Street Food: Authentic Snacks from Around the World. “It's a way to get to know the people and the flavor of a place,” says the Italian writer, who has nibbled her way around the globe. She shares some favorite snacks and snacking places with us.Naples, ItalyPizza: Pizza may be the closest thing to a global food, but Diamanti says there's nothing like the way it's prepared in Naples. The dish is often ordered from a window counter and quickly baked for customers. If you're eating it on the go, you fold it up for pizza al portafoglio, literally wallet style. “Our pizza is quick and simple,” she says. www.inaples.itNew YorkHot dogs: When foreigners first visit America, one of the first things many want to try is the country's typical snack food, the hot dog. “It's like the flag of America—both inexpensive and democratic,” Diamanti says. “You expect to see kids queuing at a hot dog stall.” 212-484-1200; JapanBento boxes: Diamanti says the best time and place to eat this portable Japanese meal is under a blooming cherry tree in the spring. Bento boxes are filled with different dishes: often fish, meat, pickled vegetables, rice or tofu. “It's really just a taste,” she says. While the containers are often elaborate wooden serving trays, they can be also cardboard boxes ordered to go. 212-757-5640; www.jnto.go.jpJamaa el Fna Square, Marrakech, MoroccoFood stalls: When the sun begins to set, this central square comes to life as crowds gather to sing, dance and eat. Hundreds of stalls serve grilled meat, chicken and rice. “There is plenty of smoke with hundreds of people cooking at th e same time,” Diamanti says. 212 - 221 -1 583; www. /index.php/eng/21.

For those who want to eat under blooming cherry trees in the spring, they'd better go to _____.A. Naples, ItalyB. New YorkC. JapanD. MoroccoBA policeman was questioning 3 blondes who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it.“This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?”The first blonde answers, “That's easy. We’ll catch him fast because he only has one eye!”The policeman says, “Well... Uh... that's because the picture shows his profile.” S lightly confused by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second blonde and asks her, “This is your suspect, and how would you recognize him?”The second blonde giggles, flips her hair and says, “Ha! He'd be too easy to catc h because he only has one ear!”The policeman angrily responds, “What's the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it's a picture of his profile!! Is that the best answer you can come up with?”Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks “This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?” He quickly adds, “Think hard before giving me a stupid answer.”The blonde looks at the picture intently for a mome nt and says, “Hmmmm... the suspect wears contact lenses（隐形眼镜).”The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if thesuspect wears contacts or not. “Well, that’s an interesting answer... wait here for a few minutes whi le I check his file and I’ll get back to you on that.” He leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspect's file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face．“Wow! I can't believe it... it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact w ear contact lenses．Goodwork! How were you able to make such an acute observation?”“That's easy,” the blonde replied．“He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear.”24.

Other children may have manners that are not like yours. There are all kinds of manners.Many years ago, children who had good manners were seen and not heard. They kept quite quiet if grown-ups were talking. Today, well-mannered children have more freedom.Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp” (打嗝)after you finish eating. Burping would show that you liked your food.In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say “excuse me, please.”In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat. What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia. You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of the other tents, you will be asked into each one. People will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no.Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People needed ways to show that they wanted to be friends.28. People turn their backs on others while they eat in _______.A. some parts of Polynesia.B. an East African town.C. Mongolia.D. Arabia.29. In an East African town, the people try not to see you.

Which of the following statements is true?A. Manners are different all over the world.B. Children with good manners are quiet.C. You should not walk behind the tents in Arabia.D. In Mongolia, you should say “excuse me” when you give a burp after dinner.The best title of the passage should be _______.A. Different kinds of manners.B. What are good manners?C. Children's manners are different.D. When you are in Rome, do as the Romans do.DThe Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived in the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which was a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it Comremoves the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem—their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately$433, 600, 000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.32. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A. rich and powerfulB. modern and openC. peaceful and attractiveD. greedy and aggressive33. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from .A. soil pollutionB. phosphate over miningC. farming activityD. whale huntingWhich of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem?A. Its leaders misused the money.B. It spent too much repairing the island.C. Its phosphate mining cost much money.D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.35. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A. The leaders will take the experts' words seriously.B. The phosphate mines were destroyed.C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.D. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
