About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的 . No one had told them about the British custom (習(xí)慣)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .Learning the language of a country isnt enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesnt agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (點(diǎn)頭) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .In that country, you shake your head to mean yes a nod means no . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult (成人) its just not done in Thailand .1. The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _ . A. were foreigners B. didnt have tickets C. made a loud noise D. didnt line up for the bus 2. According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should _. A. learn the language of the country B. understand the manners and customs of the country C. have enough time and money D. make friends with the people there 3. In India it is considered impolite _. A. to use the right hand for passing food at table. B. to pass food with the left hand. C. to eat food with your hands. D. to help yourself at table. 4. To cross ones legs at an important meeting in Europe is _. A. a common (平常的) habit B. an important manner C. a serious (嚴(yán)重的) trouble D. a bad manner 5. The best title (題目) for this article is _. A. Peoples Everyday Life B. Mind Your Manners C. Shaking and Nodding Head D. Taking a Bus in England 答案及解析：1D。這是一道句子理解題，也可以看成細(xì)節(jié)題。在第一自然段的最后，有這樣的句子： No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at a bus stop is the first person to get on the bus從此句可知那三位先生并不知道在英國乘車的習(xí)慣，所以答案是D。2. B。這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。答案在第二自然段的第二個(gè)句子。3B。同第二題一樣，此題也是細(xì)節(jié)題?？稍诘诙匀欢沃苯诱业酱鸢?。4A。單句理解題。最后一個(gè)自然段中有說：In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs When you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting這個(gè)句子的意思是：在歐洲，開會時(shí)翹二郎腿是很常見的。這說明許多人有這樣的習(xí)慣，所以答案應(yīng)該是A。5B。通讀全文就會發(fā)現(xiàn)，只學(xué)習(xí)一門外語是不夠的，還要多了解該國的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣，否則就會遇到麻煩，所以答案是B。閱讀理解 4 Tom walked into a shop . It bad a sign outside : Second-hand (舊的) clothes bought and sold . He was carrying an old pair of trousers and asked the owner of the shop, How much will you give me for these? The man looked at them and then said: Two dollars.What ! said Tom. I had guessed they were worth at least five dollars.No, said the man, they arent worth a cent more than two dollars.Well, said Tom, taking two dollars out of his pocket. Heres your money. These trousers were hanging outside your shop. The list price (標(biāo)價(jià))of them was six dollars and a half. But I thought that was too much money, so I wanted to find out how much they were really worth.Then he walked out of the shop with the pair of trousers and disappeared before the shop owner could think of anything to say .1. At first the owner of the shop thought that Tom _ . A. wanted to steal the trousers B. wanted to sell the trousers C. wanted to fool him D. wanted to buy the trousers 2.

Tom bought the trousers four dollars and a half 答案及解析：1BTom拿著一條褲子并且問：“How much will you give me for these?”店主所以認(rèn)為Tom是來賣褲子的，故答案是B。2A此題是細(xì)節(jié)題，可在第一自然段的末尾找到答案。3B店主當(dāng)然想便宜地把褲子買下來。4C從短文的倒數(shù)第二段可以了解到，褲子不是Tom的而是店主的。5D褲子的標(biāo)價(jià)是6.5美元，而Tom只給了店主2美元，所以答案應(yīng)該是D。 閱讀理解5Big BenBig Ben is not the name of a man.
