21、   When we travel from one country to another, we find people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel what they eat is normal, and what other people eat is strange or silly. In most part of Asia, for example, people like rice and meat. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a great deal of beer, and the French drink wine every day.

What kind of meat people like to eat is also different from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In China, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don’t like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating uncooked fish.

22、Every day, Vicky traveled by bus between her office and home. She noticed something special about the bus driver. Whenever the passengers(乘客) got on the bus, he would smile at them.

However, Vicky also noticed a passenger who never smiled back at the driver. It seemed that he never had any clean clothes. He often made big noises when he coughed. Every time he got on the bus, he made the other passengers give up the seat to him in a loud voice. But the driver still smiled at him. Instead, the “noisy” man seemed to never see the smile.

This got Vicky more interested. Once, she asked the driver, “Sir, may I ask a question? Why don't you throw that ‘noisy’ man out of the bus？”

The driver looked at Vicky and said, “He's my guest.”

“Then take back your smile at least. Don't be so nice to him！”

“Let me tell you about my dog，” the driver said patiently. “Each time the moon shines, my dog barks(狗叫) at it crazily.”

Hearing this, Vicky was confused and said, “Sorry, but I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me.”

The driver said, “It keeps barking, but the moon still shines.”

23、阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项回答问题。

Large stores are doing different things to attract(吸引）more shoppers. Many of them now have greeters who stand near the door. The greeters’ work is to say hello to the shoppers and make them feel at home. They also help shoppers find what they are looking for and answer any other question.

Discount(折扣）programs are also a way to attract shoppers. Some stores give discounts if a shopper spends a certain amount(数量）of money. For example, the shopper may get 20% off on the first $100 he or she spends. When the shopper spends over$100, the discount may be 25%. This encourages shoppers to spend more money at this store.

Some large stores also provide online shopping. It becomes really important during holiday seasons when the stores are crowded with shoppers. For many people, it’s much more enjoyable to sit at home with a cup of coffee and look for what they want. To make online shopping even more attractive, many things are cheaper in most online stores. Some people think that one day we’ll do all our shopping on the Internet.
