Before the elevator was invented in the late 1800s,buildings were much smaller and lower,as people did not want to walk up and down stairs(楼梯)all day.With the invention of the elevator came high-rise buildings and skyscrapers.
Some people find elevators make them a little uncomfortable because there are many people all standing close in a small room.It is best just to relax and enjoy the ride.
When the elevator doors open,stand aside and let everyone out before you try to get in.Even if you are in a hurry,it's impolite to push someone so that you can get into an elevator.
Don't stare at(盯着看)people or stand too close.Try to keep your eyes looking ahead or you could make others feel nervous or uncomfortable.
If you have to move past people to get out of the elevator,say“Excuse me,please”or“I'm sorry”rather than just pushing them out of the way.Others will understand it if you show some politeness.
If you are standing close to the buttons(按钮),ask others what floors they are going to and press the buttons for them.This is considered to be polite.
In case of emergency(紧急情况),follow the instructions written inside the elevator and try to keep others calm.
1.The elevator was invented .
A.in 1800 B.in 1899
C.in the 18th century D.in the 19th century

It's said that about 55% of communication is unspoken, so in fact,our bodies are actually saying more than our words.I find that the key to a successful conversation in any language is to speak to people not only in their spoken language but also with the body language they know best.
Britain, along with much of Northern Europe,has a non-touch culture,so“personal space”is very important.In a formal(正式的)situation,we would usually greet each other with a handshake.Informally,but not so often, my British friends and I would greet with a hug.Hardly ever would we greet with a kiss on the cheek,let alone a hug and two kisses on the cheek!Here in the south of Italy,and in many different parts of the world,both men and women greet with two kisses on the cheek,use a lot of hand signs and often touch each other.In other words,little personal space is left between people when communicating.
At university,I have learnt to successfully communicate in spoken Italian.And since I moved to live with the local people,I have also started to pick up their body language.Sometimes,I find myself not knowing what hand signs to use when expressing myself.However,what I know for sure is that I would miss the opportunity to fully put myself in the Italian culture if I keep my personal space unbroken.
Here are 5 body language tips in Italy:
*Use different signs:head,arms and hands.
*Use facial expressions.Always smile at people!It is said that smiling is the most powerful unspoken way to communicate friendliness.
*Use eye contact(交流),because“the eyes are the window to the soul.”
*Don't worry about personal space.Italians are a people who like to use the sense of touch,so moving away or keeping your distance may be considered as being unfriendly.
*Touch.When meeting and leaving,always shake hands.
1.In Britain,people usually greet each other with .
A.a warm hug B.a handshake
C.a kiss on the cheek D.two kisses on the cheek
2.The writer uses Britain and Italy as examples to show .
A.men and women greet in the same way
B.Italians are more friendly than the British people
C.keeping personal space is very important in any country
D.people in different countries use different body language
3.From Paragraph 3,we can learn that the writer .
A.likes to keep his personal space
B.tries to learn Italian body language
C.knows little about Italian hand signs
D.keeps using British body language in Italy
4.What is the most powerful unspoken way to show friendliness in Italy
A.Hand signs. B.Smiling.
C.Eye contact. D.Touch.

In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries, it appears that they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes look rude(粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.
My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke ”But, don't be surprised if they say, “No, you can't smoke.”In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.
In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
1.Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the in the world.
A.best B.worst C.most natural D.most different
2.When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often .
A.buys some fruit B.feels like a god
C.wants some gifts D.takes a cup of tea
3.If the writer's guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say
A.It's OK if you smoke here. B.Let's smoke together.
C.Sorry, you can't smoke here.D.Smoking is a bad habit.
4.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage
A.think back to B.get used to
C.look forward to D.keep close to
5.What is the main idea of this passage
A.Foreigners should learn from Chinese.
B.Hosts must do things in the guests' way.
C.Western hosts are always nice to guests.
D.People should understand cultural differences.
D
Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things that were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered to be impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.
Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country Or doesn’t matter What about table manners
The Americans and British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for women or offer their seats to women, and so will most American. Promptness(准时)is important both in England and in America. That is, the dinner guest either arrives close to the time that has been made or calls up to explain his delay(耽误).
The important thing to remember about social customs in not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or greatly surprised, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.
1. The underlined phrase “make a fool of himself” in the first paragraph means .
A. make himself strong B. make himself rich
C. make himself comfortableD. cause himself to seem like a fool
2. According to the passage, the American and the British .
A. don’t speak the same language
B. don’t have social customs in common
C. do share a lot of social customs
D. do have the exactly same social customs
3. If a dinner invitation is for six o’clock, the guest is supposed to arrive at six.
A. nearly or a minute or two later than
B. a quarter past
C. a quarter to
D. much later than
4. The last example in the passage shows .
A. the correct way to use a knife at table
B. that it’s good manners not to make your guest feel foolish or uncomfortable
C. that social customs and ways of behaving change too fast
D. that different countries have different customs
