There are many differences between Chinese eating habits and Western eating habits. In the West, everyone has their own 1 of food. But in China the dishes are 2 on the table and everyone shares.

The reason for this is that when somebody 8 , the shrine(神祠) to them has a bowl of sand or rice with two chopsticks which are stuck upright in it. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout(壶嘴) is facing 9 somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting,usually just outward(向外) from the table.
Don't hit on your bowl with your chopsticks. Beggars(乞丐) hit on their bowls, so this is not polite. Also, when the food is coming too 10 in a restaurant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someone's home, it is like offending the cook.

If you are in America or go to American families to have meals,you should learn some table manners. Here are some tips：
Don't circle your plate with your arms. If you do so,you will become the focus (焦点) of the table. Everyone would wonder,“Is there anything wrong with the food？” This may give a wrong message that you don't like the food or something like that.
Don't push the plate back when finished；leave it where it is. Do you want to let the hostess know that you've just done a labor
Don't lean (倚靠) back and say “I'm through”or “I'm full”. Just put the knife and fork across the plate. That's all.
Don't cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites (块) at a time.
Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show how hungry you are Don't do that. It's not so good.

Smart phone,poor sight
Look around and you'll see people busy on their smart phones.Smart phones do make our lives easier.But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes
According to a study,half of British people own smart phones and they spend an average(平均)of two hours a day using them.There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from short-sightedness(近视)since smart phones were introduced there in 1997.
Staring(盯)at smart phones for long time gives you dry eyes.When looking at something in the distance,your eyes automatically blink(自动眨眼)a certain number of times.However,when you look at things closer to your face,the blinking slows down.This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes.Another bad habit is using smart phones in dark rooms before going to sleep.If you look at a bright screen while your pupils(瞳孔)become larger,too much light enters your eyes.This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma(青光眼).
While you're probably not going to stop using your smart phone,there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes.Hold your phone at least 30 centimeters away from your eyes when using it.Take a break every hour and try the following:look at something at least five meters away from you and then focus on the tip of your nose.Repeat this several times.It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.

You may have already forgotten the days when you had to learn how to use chopsticks. Every Chinese kid manages to use them for some time. But chopsticks are not just simple tools to pick up food. They come with their own special rules and traditions.
Generally, people should not make noise with chopsticks. Playing with chopsticks is seen as bad manners, just as playing with forks and knives in a Western country would be rude.
There are also some superstitions(迷信) related to chopsticks. For example, some people believe that chopsticks should not be left standing upright in a bowl. It looks like the incense(香) that Chinese use to honor the dead. Doing it at the dinner table is believed to bring bad luck.
You should not tap(敲) chopsticks on the edge of the bowl either, as beggars(乞丐) do this to ask for food. Parents might get angry if children do this as they don't want their children to be as poor as beggars in the future.
Besides, chopsticks can also be a great gift. In Chinese, “chopsticks” are known as “kuaizi”, so newlyweds(新婚夫妇) feel happy to receive chopsticks as a wedding gift. Skilled craftsmen(手艺人) paint beautiful pictures on chopsticks to make them look like fine artworks. Today, even people from Western countries are learning to use chopsticks and like to collect them as souvenirs(纪念品).

A.the history of chopsticks

For millions of years, coral reefs (珊瑚礁) have provided homes for thousands of different living things. Fish and sea birds share coral reefs with other sea animals. Now these beautiful things are in danger. So are all the sea plants and animals that depend on them. Scientists have found that people and pollution have harmed more than one-fourth of the Earth’s coral reefs. Unless things change, all of the remaining coral reefs may die within your lifetime.
Some people think that the coral is a kind of plant, but it is an animal! Tiny corals form the coral reefs. They have different colors. These colors come from the algae (海藻) living inside the coral. Lots of corals stick together. New ones grow on the body of dead corals. This happens year after year. Over time, corals build up a reef. The reef rises from the ocean floor until it almost reaches the sea’s surface. It takes corals 500,000 years to build a huge reef. It has taken human beings less than 100 years to start harming coral reefs.
Coral reefs have been harmed in different ways. People have broken off pieces of coral reefs to sell or keep them. To catch more fish, people have dropped dynamite (炸药) into the sea. This has blown up parts of some coral reefs. Water pollution has encouraged overgrowth of the sea plants that grow near coral reefs. They stop algae from getting the sunshine. The worst problem is the heating up of the ocean. Warm water kills algae. When algae dies, corals lose both their food and colors. They turn white and die.
( ) 1. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. scientists B. sea plants
C. sea animals D. coral reefs

( ) 5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
