24、Manners are very important for our daily life. There are many different customs and habits among different countries. We must fmd out and follow their customs so that they will not think us ill-mannered. Here are examples of the things that a person with good education should do.

If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you will not move before the host says “Come in, please.” After you enter the room, you would not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is sent to your hand, you should say “Thank you” and receive it with two hands. Before entering a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a visitor always leaves a little food to show that he has had enough. In England, a visitor always finishes the food to show that he has enjoyed it. The host will be pleased with that.

You have to give your present in public in the Middle East to show it is not a bribe. But it’s good manners to give your present in private in Asia. You mustn’t give knives in Latin America because it suggests that you want to cut off the relationship. You mustn’t give your food to Arabia because it suggests that you think your host isn’t offering you enough to eat.

“Come any time” means “I want you to visit me” in India. If you don’t suggest a time at once, the India will think you are refusing the invitation. But if an Englishman says “Come any time”, they will think you are impolite if you start fixing a date.

A．actions speak louder than words

B．when in Rome, do as the Romans do

C．practice makes perfect

25、A young shoemaker left his village. Along the way, he saw some ants who were very sad because a bear had destroyed their house. The shoemaker helped them rebuild it, and the ants offered to return the favor.

The shoemaker followed his way and found some bees with the same problem as the ants. The young man also helped them, and the bees promised to help him in the future.

Further along , the shoemaker learned that the king’s daughter was in the castle of a witch(女巫). The young man decided to save her, But the witch threw him a bag of sand mixed with small seeds and told him that if he wasn’t able to separate(分开) the two, she would cut off his head before the sun came out.

The young man thought about his death. But his friends the ants came and helped him pass the test. The witch was very surprised. Then she took him to a room where there were thirteen girls with their faces covered. The shoemaker had to discover which one was the princess.

26、What is the hardest sport in the world? Some people say it’s boxing (拳击), because boxing is dangerous and boxers have to be strong and fast. Other people say the hardest sport is soccer.

However, most people say the hardest sport is the triathlon (三项全能运动). A triathlon is a race that includes three sports. First, racers swim. After that they ride bicycles and finally they run. In the most common triathlon, racers swim 1.5 kilometers, bike 40 kilometers, and run 10 kilometers. The winner is the person who finishes the race first. There is another kind of triathlon, too. It is called the “Ironman Triathlon (铁人三项)”. This triathlon is much longer. People who finish this triathlon are called “ironmen” and “ironwomen”. This is because these people are so strong that their bodies are just like iron (铁).

In the past few years, there have been other races including three sports. However, they didn’t use the word “triathlon”. That word was first used to describe a race in California in 1974.

Triathlon racers have to train very hard for their races. Many of them swim and run. A lot of people also do things like yoga(瑜伽). They have many different ways to prepare, but they all have the same goal. They want to be in perfect shape.

28、 Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给)

The rise of the Emoji(表情符号)

Happy, angry, amazed－these are some of the emotions we like to express these days when we’re sending a message on our mobile phones. We’re also using them as a quick way of telling someone how we’re f【1】. Yes, emojis have become a very important tool for communication.

Let’s clear one thing up first－there are emojis and emoticons. The latter are little images which are made using normal keys on a keyboard. For example, a colon(冒号), two dots, followed by a close bracket(右括号) is a “smiley face”. But as technology has improved, many images have been created and they can be simply a【2】to your messages, which is great!

The emoji was first invented in Japan in the late 1990s and the word “emoji” comes from the Japanese words for “picture” and “character”. The number of different images has greatly i【3】 since then. Now we have a picture of every mood or situation.

Another a【4】 of emojis is that they are an international language－they don’t use word but tell a message in pictorial form so they can be e【5】 translated whatever your native language is. However, the emojis you send need some thought as they can sometimes be misunderstood. If a friend sends you an emoji of a hammer(锤), you may think he is angry when really he is s【6】he has hurt!

But as Linguist Neil Cohn says, “To many, emojis are an exciting development of the way we communicate; to others, they are linguistic decline(语言的衰退).” It shows there is a lot more to our communication than words a【7】, but does this mean the decline in traditional writing?

That afternoon, we ______my friend’s house. I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon Lily came to the door and looked at me in surprise for the unexpected visit.

I hope your day goes ________.” The look that came over Lily’s face was one that I could _______put into words. It was as if a dark sky was suddenly ________by the golden ray（光线）of the sun.
