China:The birthday child receives presents from the parents.Friends and family members are invited to dinner,and noodles are served to wish the birthday child a long life.
Denmark(丹麦):A flag is flown outside a window to show that someone who lives in that house is celebrating the birthday.Presents are placed around the child’s bed while he is sleeping so he can see them immediately when he wakes up.
Holland(荷兰):The birthday child receives an especially large present.The family also put flowers or balloons on the birthday child’s chair to make it beautiful.
India:Usually Indian children wear white to school.However,the birthday child wears colored clothes to school and gives out chocolates to everyone in the class.His/Her best friend helps do this.

Some British and American people like to invite friends and colleagues(同事)for a meal at home.You should not be upset if your English friends don’t invite you home.It doesn’t mean they don’t like you.
Dinner parties usually start between 7 p.m.and 8 p.m.,and end at about 11 p.m.Ask your hosts what time you should arrive.It’s polite to bring flowers,chocolates or a bottle of wine as a present.
Do you want to be extra(特别地)polite Say how much you like the room,or the pictures on the wall.But remember not to ask how much things cost.
You’ll probably start the meal with soup,or something small as a “starter(开胃菜)”,then you’ll have meat or fish with vegetables,and then dessert(甜点),followed by coffee.It’s polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.Some people eat bread with their meal,but not everyone does.
Before they take out their cigarettes after the meal,most people usually ask,“Do you mind if I smoke here ”

When you can’t use words to express your idea,you can make a gesture and people will usually understand what you are trying to say.
Here are some examples of using gestures in the UK.
The Wave(挥手)
The wave is the most common gesture.To greet each other or to say goodbye,most people raise their hand and move it from side to side.One famous wave is made by the Queen.You can watch a video to see how Her Majesty(女王陛下) does her tasteful(高雅的) wave.
The V Sign
You may just be trying to spread peace and love,but if you are in the UK,please pay attention to where your hand is facing.Let the back of your hand face yourself,or it becomes an impolite gesture.

One of the traditional festivals in China is the Mid-Autumn Festival.It is also known as the Moon Festival,the Zhongqiu Festival or the Mooncake Festival.It is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar.There are many stories about the festival,and many of them are about Hou Yi and Chang’e.
One of the stories goes like this:in ancient times,there was a hero named Hou Yi who was excellent at shooting(射击).One year,there were ten suns in the sky,and the strong heat from them caused a lot of problems for people.Hou Yi shot down nine of the suns and left only one to provide light.After that,many people came to learn shooting from him.Hou Yi later got married to the kind and beautiful Chang’e.
An immortal(神仙) gave Hou Yi a kind of medicine that could make him live forever,but he didn’t want to leave Chang’e,so he let her keep the medicine.On the fifteenth of August,Pang Meng,one of Hou Yi’s students,wanted to take the medicine away when Hou Yi went out.Chang’e didn’t want to give it to him,so she had to take the medicine herself and flew up into the sky.Because she loved her husband very much and hoped to live nearby,she chose to stay on the moon.
When Hou Yi came back and learned about what had happened,he was very sad.He put the fruits and cakes that Chang’e liked in the yard to show her his love.People soon learned about this,and began to copy Hou Yi’s activities.From then on,the custom of admiring the full moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival was kept.

七、阅读表达(共5小题,计10分)
阅读短文,根据要求完成下面各小题。
If you spend some time in an English-speaking country,you might hear the term “etiquette”.It means normal and polite social behavior.This may seem like a difficult word at first,but it can be very useful to understand.
Etiquette is not the same in every culture or in every situation.For example,standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries.However,if you do this in Europe,some people might feel uncomfortable.Even in China,we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations.Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine,but there are other places where talking loudly is not allowed.For example,most people would agree that talking loudly in a library,a museum or a movie theater is impolite.83Even if you are with your friends,it is better to keep your voice down in public places.
If we see someone breaking the rules of etiquette,we may politely give them some suggestions.One of the most polite ways is to ask someone,“Would you mind doing this ” or “Would you mind not doing that ”.People don’t usually like to be criticized,so we have to be careful how we do this.
84Although rules of etiquette can often be different,some rules are almost the same everywhere in the world.For example,dropping litter is almost never allowed.If you see someone you know doing this,you can ask him,“Would you mind picking it up ”
