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

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、It was a beautiful day with a clear, blue sky and the cool wind chilled my morning tea. Everything was quiet and the book in my hands was lovely until I felt my chair moving.

23、   The word photography was first used in 1839. However, at that time the subject (被拍对象) had to keep still while a picture of it was taken. Few people had ever tried to take photos of moving subjects. The first man to do so was Eadweard Muybridge, a world-famous photographer. He created the first moving picture.

When a horse is running, do all four hooves (蹄)ever leave the ground at the same time? That was the bet that a gentleman called Leland Stanford had with some of his friends. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, but Stanford didn’t think: so. Because a horse’s legs are moving so fast, it’s impossible to tell just by looking. Stanford needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. In 1872, Leland Stanford offered Eadweard Muybridge $25,000 to find the answer. Muybridge had no idea if he could successfully set up and perform an experiment to settle (解决) the bet, but he thought he should give it a try.

In 1878, after years of experiments, Muybridge got what he wanted. He had a sequence (连续) of 12 images (图像), and one of them clearly showed all four of the horse’s hooves were off the ground at the same time. In the end Muybridge collected his well-earned $25,000 from Stanford.

Though Thomas Edison is usually considered as the person who created the first cine-camera (电影摄影机) in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison’s invention.

【1】The underlined word “still” most probably means “________” in Chinese.

A.安逸的 B.平衡的 C.直立的 D.静止的

【2】Leland Stanford thought that ________.

A.a horse always had one hoof on the ground while running

B.a horse had all 4 hooves off the ground at some point while running

C.it was possible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture

D.it was impossible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture

【3】Muybridge finally found the answer to the bet in ________.

A.1839 B.1872 C.1878 D.1887

【4】Muybridge’s experiments proved that it was ________ who won the bet.

A.Stanford B.Stanford’s friends. C.Muybridge D.Muybridge’s friends

A.that Thomas Edison created the first cine-camera

24、   Little actions, big consequences.勿以恶小而为之。

A boy named Jacob was riding in a car along with his family. He was drinking a can (罐) of soda while his father drove the family home. After Jacob finished his soda, he rolled down (摇下) the window and threw the can out of the car.

After seeing what he did, his mother turned around (转过来) to him and said, “Jacob! Don’t throw your trash (垃圾) out of the car!”

“But just one can. It’s not a big deal.” Jacob replied.

“That may be so. But what if everybody did that?” she said. But Jacob didn’t think much about her question.

The next day, one of Jacob’s classmates was celebrating her birthday in class. Her mother had brought a nice cake to class for everyone to share. But then Jacob snuck up to (悄悄靠近) the cake and licked off (舔掉) some of the frosting (糖霜)! However, Jacob’s teacher noticed what he had done.

“Jacob! You shouldn’t lick frosting off of a cake that everyone else to eat!” his teacher yelled?

“But it was only one lick…” Jacob replied.

“That may be so. But what if everybody did that?” she said.

Jacob really did think about what would happen. If everyone licked the cake, it would be destroyed. His face turned red. This time, Jacob realized that he was wrong.

So my dear parents, when your children make a mistake, don’t think it’s just a small one or your children are too young. Because little mistakes may lead to bad habits and cause bad results. Please always remember: Little actions, big consequences.
