3．China is a nation（国家） of etiquette（礼仪）． Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world． If foreigners visit a Chinese family， they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests（客人）．
When you visit a Chinese family， the host（主人） usually makes tea for you． Then he will serve you snacks（小吃） like biscuits or candies． Someone in the family will also chat with you， never letting you feel lonely．
At the same time， other family members will prepare a meal for you． Chinese people treat（招待） their guests with a big meal． They always prepare more food than the guest can eat． On the table， the guests must be the first to eat． Perhaps one of the things that surprises a western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors， which won't happen at western tables． The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home． As you are done eating， the host usually says， "It seems that you didn't eat much． Please have more．" Although you tell them you are full， they still put more food in your bowl．

4．Shared bike（共享单车） have become popular across China's big cities． There are about 16 million shared（在全国范围内的）． They are mainly offered by Alibaba﹣ backed OFO and Tecent﹣funded Molike．
But poor regulation（缺乏管理）has caused much trouble on the country's roads ， with thousands of bikes dumped in already crowed public spaces． There are no fixed docking stations（停车点） in China． Once the rider has finished the journey， he can leave the bike anywhere． Bikes in big cities are often thrown on streets and roadsides， That has led to some problems in cities．
Shanghai， Guangzhou， Shenzhen and Wuhan have banned（禁止） new shared bikes． Beijing has become the latest city in China to ban new shared bikes． New deliveries of bikes to the city's 15 sharing plans will be suspended（暂停） in Beijing．
Riders can already use nearly 2.4 million shared cycles in Beijing． And the number of shared bikes in Wuhan's city areas was reaching 700，000， far more than the city's capacity（容量） of 400，000．
It's said the Traffic Commission would look at regulating shared bike plans， including guidelines for parking spaces．

5．Most（大多数的） English people（人） have three names： a first name， a middle name and the family name． Their family name comes last． For example（例如）， my name is James Allan Green． My first name is James and my middle name is Allan． Green is my family name． To many（许多） people， the meaning（意义） of a name is important（重要的）． My name is James． It means（意思是） daiti， and Allan means hexie．
People don't use their middle names very much． So "John Henry Brown" is usually（通常）"John Brown"． People don't use Mr．， Mrs． or Miss before their first names． They usually use them with their last name． So you can say John Brown， or Mr． Brown； but you can not say Mr． John．
Why do people call（称呼） me Jim？ My name is James， but Jim is short for James． So just call me Jim．

6．When is Father's Day？ People in Taiwan Province will answer August 8th． They celebrate Father's Day on that day because the date sounds like"daddy" in Chinese． For Americans，Father's Day falls on the third Sunday in June．
As a study shows，it's easy for people to forget about Father's Day because they don't feel for their fathers as much as they do for their mothers． In fact，most fathers work long hours and seldom have time to play with their children． They also have a hard time showing their feelings to their children． So，how about buying your father a nice present and saying "thank you" to him this Father's Day？

7．Baking has become increasingly popular in the UK in recent years． This is in part thanks to television shows such as The Great British Bake Off which have inspired people to get in the kitchen．Baking is a relaxing activity which allows you to be creative and， of course， at the end you have a delicious treat． Here are four of my favourite， quintessentially British baked goods．
Victoria sandwich
This classic cake was named after Queen Victoria， who was famed for her love of cake， and it is sure to be found at the centre of afternoon tea tables across the country． It is a very simple cake typically made up of two layers of plain sponge cake with a generous layer of whipped cream and jam sandwiched in the middle．
Scones
Scones are not as sweet as cakes， in fact， a scone is a cross between a bread roll and a small cake． It should be sliced in half and spread with cream and jam． There is a lot of debate as to whether you should spread the jam or the cream on the scone first !
Flapjacks
Flapjacks are a tasty teatime treat made by mixing together oats， butter， sugar and syrup．
After they have been baked， they are sliced up into squares． They are very easy to make so even young children can have a go． However， this might lead to a lot of mess and sticky fingers! It is also possible to make flapjacks a little healthier by adding dried fruit， like raisins or sultanas， and nuts．
Shortbread
Despite its name， shortbread is actually a traditional Scottish biscuit． It is made with a large amount of butter which gives it its characteristic crumbly texture． As soon as you take a bite of a shortbread biscuit， it melts in your mouth !
All of the above are quick and easy to make and it goes without saying that they all taste best when served with a nice， hot cup of tea．
（1）How many British baked goods are introduced in the passage？
A． Three
B． Four
C． Five
D． Six
（2）Why has baking become increasingly popular in the UK in recent years ？

D． People are not ruled when they bake．
（3）What can we know from the passage？
A．Shortbread doesn't have a long history
B． Children can begin baking learning with flapjacks
C．Queen Victoria loved sandwiched with cream and jam
D． Everyone agrees to spread the jam or the cream on the scone first
8．American country music is famous all over the world， such as the songs of John Denver． Many people enjoy listening to the music in their free time． But still some people don't know where it began．
Country music comes from folk music of the Appalachian Mountains in the east of America． There， people sing while playing the guitar and violin． They sing about everyday life， love and their problems． So the songs are sometimes a little sad．
John Denver is one of the most popular country music singers． He is also quite famous to the Chinese． For John Denver， music is a language that could bring the world together． He says music can bring people together． They will understand each other through music． People are different in color and they may speak different languages， but people are the same in mind and body． All of them love music and can understand music．
The world lost a great man when John Denver died in 1997． But his words and music will still live on．
（1）American country music usually tells us about ．
A． folk songs

9．Are you an eating﹣lover？ Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world？ Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China？ It's a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV． Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with special festival food？ Here are several traditional Chinese foods：
Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture． They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many western countries． Since noodles mean long life， People think it very unlucky to cut it off．
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate，in China a whole fish means richness．In fact，at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last， pointed towards the most important guest（客人）． Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish， yu， sounds like the word for richness or plenty， and people believe that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come．
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi． This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat， peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves． The tradition of Zongzi is meant to make us think of a great man， Qu Yuan in Chinese history．

10．Every country has its heroes． The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire． If you get a list of the heroes of a nation， it will tell you the potential （潜力） of that nation．
Today in America， if you ask the high school students to list their heroes， their choice would probably fall into three groups． The first group of heroes would be the rock stars the people connected with rock music． There is no doubt that such people do have talent but one wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model． The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good． The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles． However， one should seek （寻觅） more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes．
A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star． Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area﹣sports． However， too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of a disorder． Too frequently （频繁） drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star．
A third type of hero is the TV or movie star． This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome． However， the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people． Today， the rock star， the athlete， and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America． Really， do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor， a teacher， or a scientist？ These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes． However， they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone．
What is really sad is that the young try to imitate their heroes． They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles． If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars， athletes and actors， the future does not look too bright．
（1）From the passage， we know that the heroes the American youth admire are those ．
A． who are perfect in all areas．
B． who are not bright but are good ﹣looking．
C． who are rich but are strict with themselves．
D． who are talented in some area but lead an improper life．
（2）According to the writer， people should admire those ．
A． who are rich and wear the latest fashion clothes
B． who work for the interests of the people
C． who can express people's feelings
D． whose personal life is good
（3）What is the writer's attitude towards American youth's admiration？
A．He understands it．
B．He criticizes it．
C．He is angry about it．
D．He is uninterested in it．
11．Besides the spelling of the word， there are clearly many differences between American and British humor．
There is a common belief （信念）in the UK that Americans don't understand irony （讽刺）．This is of course not true． But what is true is that Americans don't use it all the time． Irony may show up in American comedies， but people there don't use it as much as the British do in daily life． However， irony is common in British culture． It actually runs in the blood of the British people． They use it as a way of playing with their friends and laughing at their enemies as well as themselves in everyday conversations． This may sometimes make people unhappy if the listeners are not used to it． They may also feel embarrassed．
Things are different in America． After American people use irony， they feel the need to make a joke clearer so that it will not make other people uncomfortable． Humor is tied so much to culture． American jokes are clearer and more forward． British jokes， on the other hand， are more subtle and usually with a hidden meaning． This may result from the fact that British culture is more reserved （矜持的）than American culture． However，we still find that certain American comedies have made huge success in Britain．
Therefore， although there are differences between both comic styles， there is still an appreciation （欣赏）and understanding of the other's sense of humor．
（1）What do British people think of American humor？
A． They think irony isn't popular in America．
B． They think American jokes are clearer．
C． They think it is tied to American culture．
D． They think Americans don't understand irony．

B． fight with their enemies
C． make friends with others
D． make other people unhappy
（4）According to the passage， which of the following statements is true？
A． There is usually a dark hidden meaning in American jokes．
B． British comedies have not made any success in America yet．
C． American and British people understand each other's sense of humor．
D． Americans don't use irony in their daily life because they don't understand it．
（5）The best title for the passage is ．
A． American people VS．（与…比较）British people
B． American humor VS． British humor
C． American culture VS． British culture
D． American word spelling VS． British word spelling．
12．Teachers help us become good students and people． So we should（应该） thank them for their hard work． In China， we have a special day ﹣ September 10th． On that day， we say thanks to our teachers and sometimes give them small gifts． But how do US students thank their teachers？
First of all， US schools have a whole week in May to appreciate their teachers! Teacher Appreciation Day is on Tuesday of that week． They have parties with gifts and snacks that week． There are also signs（宣传报） everywhere to show their love for teachers．

13．That most Africans are poor， not because they really are poor， but because someone decides to describe them as such．
My grandfather is 'poor'．He certainly lives on "less than a dollar a day"． He is now 95 years old． In his nine and a half decades on earth， he has never lacked（缺少）， and he has never begged．He only attended one year at a school in the 1930s and learnt how to read and write． This is how he lives his everyday life：
When he wants food． he goes to the bananas plantation ，looks at tens of bunches of bananas and decides which to pick for the day's dinner． Next to the plantation（种植园）is a potato garden． To the south of the banana plantation is a peanut garden． Down the valley（山谷）is a land with tens of cows． They provide him with milk daily， 365 days a year．
He also has about 20 goats（山羊）． In Uganda（乌干达）， goat milk was generally not considered delicious， possibly because there is enough cow milk， so we never milked goats． He would sell a couple of them for money to send his children to school． He also raised a couple of chickens， more as a hobby． He drinks fresh juice from mangoes． He has done this for the past 75 years．
He had eleven children， my mother being his first born． He sent all of them to school， saw eight of them through college． He sold at least two cows， some goats each school term to send his children to school． I went to live at grandfather's place when I was 5 years old． I left when I was 14（my family lived in an urban area）． I learnt how to farm， milk cows， harvest fruits and honey． That was amazing．
My grandfather， just like millions of other Africans that live like him， is considered poor．He seldom holds money， and he seldom needs it． Through labor（劳动）， he produces most of what he needs．But using the standard World Bank/IMF description of 'poor' ， my grandfather is poor． I live in the city and earn about ﹩12， 000 a year， which in Uganda is a lot of money． But I can hardly catch up with my grandfather in terms of （就…而言）． providing for my family with fresh milk， fresh food and fresh fruits．

15．Although we have a birthday every year and enjoy a birthday cake with family or friends on that day． Do you still remember your first birthday？
On that day， there is an interesting custom（习俗）called "zhua﹣zhou"． Zhuazhou is one of the most important customs on a child's first birthday． The earliest record（记录）of this custom is in the Song Dynasty（朝代）． The one﹣year﹣old child's parents don't even send out invitations， their aunts and uncles will come to celebrate his or her first birthday． Gifts from them on this day are something to eat or play with for the child．
Parents will put the baby in the middle of some things and see which thing they will pick up． If the baby picks up a coin（硬币）， then he or she might be rich when they grow up． Or if the baby picks up a doll， maybe he or she will have many children． If the baby picks up a soccer ball， then he or she may be a soccer player in the future． In the great Chinese book， Hong Lou Meng， Jia Baoyu， picked up some girls' things when he was a child． As a result， he likes playing with girls very much． Qian Zhongshu， a very famous writer in China， took a book during his zhuazhou． His father gladly named him Zhongshu， it means "book lover"， and he showed his talent in writing later in his life．

7．Baking has become increasingly popular in the UK in recent years． This is in part thanks to television shows such as The Great British Bake Off which have inspired people to get in the kitchen．Baking is a relaxing activity which allows you to be creative and， of course， at the end you have a delicious treat． Here are four of my favourite， quintessentially British baked goods．
Victoria sandwich
This classic cake was named after Queen Victoria， who was famed for her love of cake， and it is sure to be found at the centre of afternoon tea tables across the country． It is a very simple cake typically made up of two layers of plain sponge cake with a generous layer of whipped cream and jam sandwiched in the middle．
Scones
Scones are not as sweet as cakes， in fact， a scone is a cross between a bread roll and a small cake． It should be sliced in half and spread with cream and jam． There is a lot of debate as to whether you should spread the jam or the cream on the scone first !
Flapjacks
Flapjacks are a tasty teatime treat made by mixing together oats， butter， sugar and syrup．
After they have been baked， they are sliced up into squares． They are very easy to make so even young children can have a go． However， this might lead to a lot of mess and sticky fingers! It is also possible to make flapjacks a little healthier by adding dried fruit， like raisins or sultanas， and nuts．
Shortbread

John Denver is one of the most popular country music singers． He is also quite famous to the Chinese． For John Denver， music is a language that could bring the world together． He says music can bring people together． They will understand each other through music． People are different in color and they may speak different languages， but people are the same in mind and body． All of them love music and can understand music．

Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture． They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many western countries． Since noodles mean long life， People think it very unlucky to cut it off．
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate，in China a whole fish means richness．In fact，at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last， pointed towards the most important guest（客人）． Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish， yu， sounds like the word for richness or plenty， and people believe that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come．

10．Every country has its heroes． The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire． If you get a list of the heroes of a nation， it will tell you the potential （潜力） of that nation．
Today in America， if you ask the high school students to list their heroes， their choice would probably fall into three groups． The first group of heroes would be the rock stars the people connected with rock music． There is no doubt that such people do have talent but one wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model． The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good． The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles． However， one should seek （寻觅） more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes．
A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star． Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area﹣sports． However， too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of a disorder． Too frequently （频繁） drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star．
A third type of hero is the TV or movie star． This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome． However， the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people． Today， the rock star， the athlete， and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America． Really， do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor， a teacher， or a scientist？ These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes． However， they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone．
What is really sad is that the young try to imitate their heroes． They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles． If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars， athletes and actors， the future does not look too bright．
（1）From the passage， we know that the heroes the American youth admire are those ．
A． who are perfect in all areas．
B． who are not bright but are good ﹣looking．

D． who are talented in some area but lead an improper life．

A． who are rich and wear the latest fashion clothes

D． whose personal life is good
（3）What is the writer's attitude towards American youth's admiration？
A．He understands it．
B．He criticizes it．
C．He is angry about it．
D．He is uninterested in it．
11．Besides the spelling of the word， there are clearly many differences between American and British humor．
There is a common belief （信念）in the UK that Americans don't understand irony （讽刺）．This is of course not true． But what is true is that Americans don't use it all the time． Irony may show up in American comedies， but people there don't use it as much as the British do in daily life． However， irony is common in British culture． It actually runs in the blood of the British people． They use it as a way of playing with their friends and laughing at their enemies as well as themselves in everyday conversations． This may sometimes make people unhappy if the listeners are not used to it． They may also feel embarrassed．
Things are different in America． After American people use irony， they feel the need to make a joke clearer so that it will not make other people uncomfortable． Humor is tied so much to culture． American jokes are clearer and more forward． British jokes， on the other hand， are more subtle and usually with a hidden meaning． This may result from the fact that British culture is more reserved （矜持的）than American culture． However，we still find that certain American comedies have made huge success in Britain．
Therefore， although there are differences between both comic styles， there is still an appreciation （欣赏）and understanding of the other's sense of humor．
（1）What do British people think of American humor？
A． They think irony isn't popular in America．
B． They think American jokes are clearer．
C． They think it is tied to American culture．
D． They think Americans don't understand irony．

My grandfather is 'poor'．He certainly lives on "less than a dollar a day"． He is now 95 years old． In his nine and a half decades on earth， he has never lacked（缺少）， and he has never begged．He only attended one year at a school in the 1930s and learnt how to read and write． This is how he lives his everyday life：
When he wants food． he goes to the bananas plantation ，looks at tens of bunches of bananas and decides which to pick for the day's dinner． Next to the plantation（种植园）is a potato garden． To the south of the banana plantation is a peanut garden． Down the valley（山谷）is a land with tens of cows． They provide him with milk daily， 365 days a year．
He also has about 20 goats（山羊）． In Uganda（乌干达）， goat milk was generally not considered delicious， possibly because there is enough cow milk， so we never milked goats． He would sell a couple of them for money to send his children to school． He also raised a couple of chickens， more as a hobby． He drinks fresh juice from mangoes． He has done this for the past 75 years．
He had eleven children， my mother being his first born． He sent all of them to school， saw eight of them through college． He sold at least two cows， some goats each school term to send his children to school． I went to live at grandfather's place when I was 5 years old． I left when I was 14（my family lived in an urban area）． I learnt how to farm， milk cows， harvest fruits and honey． That was amazing．
My grandfather， just like millions of other Africans that live like him， is considered poor．He seldom holds money， and he seldom needs it． Through labor（劳动）， he produces most of what he needs．But using the standard World Bank/IMF description of 'poor' ， my grandfather is poor． I live in the city and earn about ﹩12， 000 a year， which in Uganda is a lot of money． But I can hardly catch up with my grandfather in terms of （就…而言）． providing for my family with fresh milk， fresh food and fresh fruits．

On that day， there is an interesting custom（习俗）called "zhua﹣zhou"． Zhuazhou is one of the most important customs on a child's first birthday． The earliest record（记录）of this custom is in the Song Dynasty（朝代）． The one﹣year﹣old child's parents don't even send out invitations， their aunts and uncles will come to celebrate his or her first birthday． Gifts from them on this day are something to eat or play with for the child．
Parents will put the baby in the middle of some things and see which thing they will pick up． If the baby picks up a coin（硬币）， then he or she might be rich when they grow up． Or if the baby picks up a doll， maybe he or she will have many children． If the baby picks up a soccer ball， then he or she may be a soccer player in the future． In the great Chinese book， Hong Lou Meng， Jia Baoyu， picked up some girls' things when he was a child． As a result， he likes playing with girls very much． Qian Zhongshu， a very famous writer in China， took a book during his zhuazhou． His father gladly named him Zhongshu， it means "book lover"， and he showed his talent in writing later in his life．
