Well, I would like to share my experiences with you.The other day when I was out with a friend and her daughter Jane at a restaurant, Jane ordered an apple dessert, which was the most attractive dish in that restaurant. However, when she had a bite of the pie, she shouted loudly, “Mom, why does it look good but tastes like rubber(橡皮)?” My friend was uneasy. Then the wait er gave us another dish.A child can say funny things. I was at a friend’s home for tea and her son, Mark, wanted her to get up. His mom replied, “I can’t, because my foot has fallen asleep now.” Little Mark then sang a song and asked, “Mom, will it wake up now?” We laughed together.The other day we were having an interesting conversation over lunch and my friend,an animal activist (积极分子) , was arguing with another group member. Her son Tommy suddenly stood up, “Mom, people should never be allowed to shoo t extinct (灭绝的) animals!” That was funny and the child did manage to turn the argument intoa pleasant conversation.Well, children sometimes really surprise us. I think we can have a lot to learn from them. They can help us understand the simple world through their eyes.4. Why did Jane shout loudly in the restaurant?A. She wanted to make us laugh.B.

The author ____ to show how lovely children are.A. points out differencesB. gives live examplesC. explains the causesD. lists common numbersCMost people shake hands and make eye contact when they meet people for the first time in the United States. Among very good friends, a woman may give another woman a little hug, and a man may kiss a woman quickly on the cheek. Men don't hug one another, which, however, is changing. Men usually shake hands with the right hand. Sometimes they use the left hand to either cover the handshake or lightly hold the other person's arm. This shows greater warmth and friendship. Most people wave hello or goodbye by extending the arm, the palm(手掌) facing outwards, and twisting the hand at the wrist. Another way is to raise the arm, the palm outwards, and move the whole arm and hand back and forth. This is important to know because in many other countrie s, the same movements mean “no”.When people are waiting in a public place, such as the post office, they usually form lines. Some people get angry and complain if someone pushes their way into a line or jumps ahead of other people. Moreover, many women like men to open doors for them. They also like men to give up their seats on public transportation. However, some women do not like this type of behavior. They feel that men and women should be treated in the same way.In the United States, it's important to make direct eye contact in business and social situations. If you don't make eye contact, people will probably think that you are bored or not interested. If there is silence in these situations, people usually try to make conversation. Periods of silence make many people uncomfortable.People in the United States usually stand about one arm's length away from each other while talking or standing together. This space is called “the comfort zone”.In the United States, mothers sometimes show that they are angry with children by shaking an index finger at them. People may show that they like children by patting them on top of the head.8. It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that in the United States .A. men begin to hug each other nowB. a man usually kisses a woman for greetingC. people only use right hands to shake handsD. people wave goodbye as people in many other countries do9. Why some women don't like to be offered a seat by men?A. they think sitting is harmful for healthB. they prefer to stand rather than sitC. they like to be treated equallyD. they don't need men's help10. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. body language in public placesB. impolite body languageC. the comfort zoneD. body language in business and social life11. In the United States, a mother sometimes shakes an index finger at her kids to show .A. boredomB. angerC. loveD. satisfactionD“Clean your plate！” Just about every kid in the US has heard t his from a parent. Often, it is accompanied by an appeal: “Just think about those starving orphans in Africa！” Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of staying “clean the plate”，perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.According to news reports, the US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies(肚子). A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurantstry to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told the USA Today that restaurant portion(分量) sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline(腰围) began to expand.Health experts first tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade believed restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 per cent had no opinion; 20 per cent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions. 70 per cent of those earning at least $150，000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 per cent of those earning less than$25，000 want smaller.It's not that working­class Americans don't want to eat healthily. It's just that, after long hours at low­paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck to paycheck, happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents.12．What does“Clean your plate！” in the first paragraph mean?A．to wash the plate B．not to eat too muchC．not to waste the food D．to help the starving orphans 13．What happened in the 1970s?A．The government suggested serving small portions.B．Americans began to realize the importance of health.C．Health experts persuaded restaurants to serve large portions.D．People in the United States began to gain weight.14.Who first tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions?A.
