When I went to England, I enjoyed my stay. But I noticed so many different traditions.
For example, you usually shake hands with people when you meet them for the first time. But after that, you can just say hello. You must say Mr. and Mrs. when you speak to older people, but you can use first names with your friends.
One day we visited some friends and had tea. Tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. You can’t have tea—the meal—after 4:30. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit cake. You can only drink tea at a tea party, not coffee or juice. And you must drink tea with milk. You must pour the tea, then the milk—you can’t put the milk in first, then the tea.
In buses or trains, the other passengers are very quiet, and you mustn’t talk too loudly. It’s very different from China! In some trains you can’t even use your mobile phones! And you don’t often hear people shouting in the street.
I was very lucky—I even went to a wedding. It was very different from a Chinese wedding. For example, the man and the woman can’t see each other the night before the wedding. Then the woman mustn’t arrive at the church on time but a few minutes late. And at the party after the wedding, the woman throws her flowers over her shoulder. The girl who catches them will be next to get married! It was all very strange but it was great fun!
36. In England when you meet people for the first time, you may _______ with them.
A. go shopping B. have dinner C. make friends D. shake hands
37. They often have tea _______ pm. in England.
A. at about 3 B. at about 2 C. at about 5 D. at about 4
38. You don’t often hear people _______ in the street in England.
A. smiling B. talking C. shopping D. shouting
39.A bride(新娘) must arrive at the church _______ a bridegroom(新郎) when the wedding begins in England.
A. the same time B. on time C. in time D. later than
40. Which do you think is the best title of the passage?
