三、阅读单选
（一）
Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.
In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st-January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal (正式的) clothes, and they may drink champagne (香槟) at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sun rise. They welcome the new wear with the first light of the sunrise.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of (摆脱) bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh (重新). Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.
Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!
31．The reading is mainly about________.
A．the meaning of "Happy New Year!"
B．several different New Year traditions
C．what to eat on New Year’s Day
D．why people dress up nicely on New Year’s Day
32．It’s clear that________ .
A．some cultures celebrate New Year in the morning
B．the Western people celebrate New Year only on New Year’s Day
C．people in Ecuador go to parties on December 31st-January 1st
D．no cultures do special things to celebrate New Year
33．In some cultures, people throw things into rivers or oceans to________.
A．bring good luck B．keep away bad luck
C．forget everything D．plan for the next year
34．To have a happy new year,________ .
A．friends talk to each other in special ways
B．families make big dolls filled with old clothes
C．some people get up early to watch the sunrise
D．Europeans eat 365 grapes on New Year’s Day
35．When eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day, people think________.
A．one pea brings one day of luck
B．black-eyed peas are the best medicine
C．the peas are too black and taste bad
D．the peas are helpful to count numbers
（二）
Manners at table
The customs(习惯)in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host(主人), he will put more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts(使不安)me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I do not want to, because it is considered(认为)bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate. I have also noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he often refuses the offer of food or drink though he’s in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again until he accepts your offer.
Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “No, thanks.” When an American is served with beer(啤酒)by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I’ll take some juice(果汁)if you have.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States to deal with us, you’d better remember the famous saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
36．From this passage we can see that the writer is ________.
A．a Chinese B．a Roman
C．an American D．a European
37．When a Chinese host kept putting more food onto the writer’s plate, the writer felt ________.
A．happy B．sad C．angry D．uneasy
38．In America, people consider it bad manners ________.
A．to refuse an offer
B．to ask for something directly
C．to eat much at a dinner party
D．to keep asking someone to accept something
39．A guest at an American’s dinner party should show his politeness by ________.
A．not eating up all the food offered
B．asking for more food onto his plate as soon as he emptied it
C．refusing the offer of food or drink though he is still hungry or thirsty
D．asking for things directly if he wants them
40．“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” means “________.”
A．the Romans are people of good manners
B．Americans always do the same things as the Romans do
C．you should do things like Romans do
D．you should get used to the local customs where you go

Good manners in the UK
British people say “hello” or “nice to meet you” and shake your hand when they meet you for the first time. They like to talk about weather, holidays or something else and avoid talking about age and weight. They say “please” and “thank you” all the time even at home. They always behave politely while eating and they will wait for everyone to finish before they leave the table. I think these tips are very helpful to us. Good manners can bring us many friends.
