三、阅读理解(每小题3 分, 共15 分)
In China, young people have their coming-of-age ceremony mostly at school. They wear traditional Chinese clothing, waiting for their parents to put a hat on their head or stick a hairpin (发夹) in their hair. This comes from an old tradition—in ancient China, girls who reached 15 and boys who reached 20 would have hair-pinning or capping ceremonies(笄礼或冠礼).
In the United States, turning 16 is a big deal. Most teenagers get their driver’s licenses at 16. Girls have“sweet 16”birthday parties when they turn 16 to celebrate their coming of age. They wear fancy clothes and have a special dance with their father.
In Japan, Coming of Age Day is a national holiday that takes place on the second Monday in January. People who are 20 years old all officially come of age on this day. Girls do their hair in fancy styles, and put on kimonos(和服). Boys wear men’s kimonos or smart suits.
In Germany, the coming-of-age ceremony is called Jugendfeier—“youth celebration”. During this ceremony, a teacher gives a speech to young adults, talking about values such as respecting others and being responsible.

五、任务型阅读 (每小题3 分, 共15 分)
Li Ming is studying English in New York. He is quite interested in the great differences between American culture and Chinese culture.
For one thing, Americans and Chinese are different in arranging(安排)a visit. In many places of China, people usually call on their neighbors unexpectedly. Americans prefer making an appointment in advance(提前). An unexpected visitor is regarded as impolite.
For another thing, their table manners are different. Chinese usually eat directly from the serving dishes. And during the meal, the host may keep putting food on the guest’s plate. An American, however, only eats from his own plate. He never picks up food for others unless he is asked to do so.
Moreover, they have different reactions when they hear compliments(赞美). For example, when a Chinese hostess is praised for her cooking skill, she will instantly deny that because Chinese are often modest. But an American hostess is likely to accept it, “Oh, I’m glad you like it. I cooked it especially for you.”
In the beginning, it was hard for Li Ming to get used to things around him because of these cultural differences. But soon, he succeeded in adjusting to their ways of doing things. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” He liked to say that when he was asked how he could get along in a new culture.

Customs in China
Each country has its own customs. In China, we also have our own customs.
When we meet people for the first time② , we usually shake hands instead of② kissing or bowing.① We often use chopsticks to② eat food. When we are at the dinner table, we shouldn’t talk loudly. And it’s polite to① wait for the old to eat first. It’s rude to point at others with your chopsticks. We’d better② finish all the food in our bowls because it’s impolite to waste food. When we visit our friends, we’d better take a small gift. We should knock at the door before going into their rooms and we must be polite in other people’s homes.
When in China, do as the Chinese do.
