21、Manners at table

The customs(习惯)in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host(主人), he will put more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts(使不安)me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I do not want to, because it is considered(认为)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 thirsty. This might be good manners in China but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again until he accepts your offer.

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(啤酒)by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I’ll take some juice(果汁)if you have.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States to deal with us, you’d better remember the famous saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

【1】From this passage we can see that the writer is ________.

A．a Chinese

B．a Roman

C．an American

D．a European

【2】When a Chinese host kept putting more food onto the writer’s plate, the writer felt ________.

A．happy

B．sad

C．angry

D．uneasy

【3】In America, people consider it bad manners ________.

A．to refuse an offer

B．to ask for something directly

C．to eat much at a dinner party

D．to keep asking someone to accept something

【4】A guest at an American’s dinner party should show his politeness by ________.

A．not eating up all the food offered

B．asking for 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

【5】“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” means “________.”

A．the Romans are people of good manners

B．Americans always do the same things as the Romans do

C．you should do things like Romans do

D．you should get used to the local customs where you go

22、

Many animals migrate—they move over long distances, often at the same time and to the same place each year. They move to places where conditions are better—where the weather is warmer, where there is more food and water, or where their young will be safer. Here are three amazing examples of migration:

One of the largest animal migrations happens on the Serengeti plains in Africa. More than one million wildebeest（牛羚）migrate in a big group. As the seasons change they follow the rain, looking for better grass to eat and water to drink. They stay in one place while the grass and water are good, and then they move on. They return to the same places each year. Thousands of zebras and other animals travel with the wildebeest.

Out of all migrating animals, Arctic terns（北极燕鸥）travel the longest distance. These seabirds lay their eggs and raise their chicks in summer in the north of Europe, Asia and North America. Each year around August, they fly south over the oceans. They spend about five months near Antarctica, while it is warmer there. Then after the southern summer ends, they fly north again. Arctic terns travel more than 70, 000 kilometers in a year!

Salmon（鲑鱼）live most of their lives in the ocean. But when it is time for them to lay their eggs, they return to the rivers where they were born. They move up rivers and streams to find the right place. Scientists think that the fish remember the unique smell of their river, and this is how they find their way. Salmon can swim strongly up hills, and will jump high to get over waterfalls.

【1】From Paragraph 1, one of the reasons why animals migrate is that ________.

A.they like living in the same place each year B.they really need much colder weather

C.they need good places to raise their young D.they don’t need food and water anymore

【2】What does the underlined word “migrate” most probably mean in Chinese?

A.离开 B.迁徙 C.冬眠 D.冒险

【3】According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE about animal migration?

A.Wildebeest migrate in a small group with the changeable seasons.

B.Thousands of zebras and other animals travel with Arctic terns.

C.Arctic terns are able to travel over 60,000 kilometers each year.

D.Salmon will go back to the rivers from the ocean to lay their eggs.

【4】What does scientists think helps salmon find their way as they migrate?

A.The unique smell of the river. B.The sound of the river.

C.The temperature of the river. D.The color of the river.

【5】In which part of a magazine would you most probably read the text?

A.Animals. B.Business. C.Movies. D.Music.

23、Here is a charity sale(义卖) for the poor kids in the mountain area. We’ll give away the money we raise in the charity sale. Come and see our things.

24、"Earworms", some people call them. Songs that get stuck in your head go round and round, sometimes for days, sometimes for months. For no clear reason you cannot help yourself from humming or singing a tune by Lady Gaga.

To a psychologist, the most interesting thing about earworms is that they show a part of our mind that is clearly outside of our control. Earworms arrive without permission and refuse to leave when we tell them to. They are parasites (寄生虫) living in a part of our minds.

If you have got an earworm you can suffer an attack of it simply by someone mentioning the tune, without having to hear it. This proves that earworms are a part of long-term memory. Humans have an "inner ear", for remembering phone numbers, for instance. When it gets infected with earworms, rather than review our plans for the day, or lists of things to remember, the inner ear gets stuck on a few short bars of music or a couple of phrases from a song. A part of us that we normally do not have to think about, that should just do what we ask, has been turned against us, upsetting us with a request that we never asked for. The mind is an inner world which we do not have complete knowledge of, or have control over.

Fortunately psychology can provide some advice on how to deal with an uncontrollable mind. Consider the famous "don’t think of a white bear" problem, which tells you to try not to think about white bears, or to do something else, to avoid both thinking of the white bear and not thinking of the white bear. For earworms, the solution may be the same. Our inner ear has become infected with an earworm. This is a part not under our control, so just sending in instructions to "shut up" is unlikely to be of much help (and has been shown to make it worse). Much better is to employ the inner ear in another task. If your mind is poisoned by Brittany Spears’ Toxic, for instance, then try singing Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You out Of My Head. Let me know if it works!

【1】According to the passage, earworms are ______.

A.songs that keep going round in our mind

B.worms that live in a part of our brain

C.tunes by pop singers like Lady Gaga

D.parasites clearly under our control

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Singing songs may get earworms out of your head.

B.Earworms are used for keeping long-term memory.

C.Humans do not have complete control over their mind.

D.You won’t suffer from earworms unless you hear the song.

【3】What does “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The instruction to shut up your mind.

B.“Don’t think of the white bear” problem.

C.Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You out Of My Head.

D.Using the earworm-infected inner ear in another task.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The causes and influences of earworms.

B.What earworms are and how to deal with them.

C.How to clear earworms out of your head.

D.The relation between earworms and popular songs.
