For many foreigners,Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world. In fact,they're not really bad guests,because the guest host relationship in China is quite different from that in western countries
In China,guests are almost like gods.Whenever l enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table,and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or
water.In the west,the guest is not a god.Acting according to the host's way of doingthings is usual behavior for a guest.
My wife's mother doesn't smoke.When I see some of her guests smoking in herhouse,as an on-smoker, I feel unhappy.Usually I want to stop them,but I must know that in China,to be a good host,she must not do that.In America,if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers,you should not smoke in their house.At least,you should ask, "Is it OK if l smoke "But don't be surprised if they say,"No,you can't smoke."
Guests in China also have some special habits.Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon.Luckily,my wife is a Chinese.Whenever we visit a Chinese family, she tells me to buy them a gift.However,giving a gift to the host is not always needed in my country.So if you invite foreign guests to your home,don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.And if western hosts invite you to their home,try not to be too surprised if their style of treating(对待) you is not what you have expected.
34.When a western guest visits a Chinese family,he often .
A.buys some fruit B.feels welcome
C.takes a cup of tea D.buys flowers
35.If the quest wants to smoke in the writer's house,the writer will probably say " A.Sorry,you can't smoke here B.It's good if you smoke here
C.Let's smoke together D.I don't know
36.Which of the following is true according to paragraph four

B.It's necessary to give a gift if we visit a western family.
C.Chinese have more habits than people in other countries.
D.Bringing a gift when visiting is popular in China.

March 16 is International Sleep Day.And we should all celebrate the act of sleeping.Researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning.But what about getting rest during the middle of the day
A recent study on napping(小肆)says short periods of sleep may help our brainswork better.Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn better.And napping can help brain performance in older adults.Taking a nap may also help this group of people fight off memory loss because of the increase in their age.
Many Americans do nap.But one-third of all adults in the United States are also chronically(长期的)tired,says the U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).It found that 50 million to 70 milion Americans have chronic sleep disorders. However,they seem to be unwilling to tell people that they take a nap.They may think that napping shows they are weak or they don't have enough energy.It is not an uncommon opinion that only children,the very old,sick or lazy people nap.In fact, Americans sometimes do a very strange thing.Some people brag about how few hours of sleep they need each night to show that they are somehow stronger than the average human-superhuman,if you will.However,that may be changing.Many offices now offer napping rooms and napping cafes(咖啡馆)are appearing in many U.S.cities, including Washington,D.C.Remember that an hour long nap may be too long for young,healthy adults.It is Recommended that 30 minutes is enough to remove the pressure(压力)to sleep and will help people feel more awake.If people nap longer, they will get trapped into deep sleep,which can be hard to get out of.If you have trouble falling asleep at night,limit your daytime nap to under 45 minutes.Also nap before 3 p.m.
38.Who are "this group of people"in Paragraph 2
A.The babies. B.The older adults. C.The children. D.The young people. 39.The underlined word "brag"in Paragraph 3 means
A.chat sadly B.whisper secretly C.talk proudly D.speak politely
40.For a voung man with sleep problems,it is good to
A.take a 40-minute-long noon nap B.take a 30-minute-long nap in the evening
C.take an one-hour-long nap after dinner D.take a nap whenever he feels sleepy
41.What is the best title of this passage
A.Long Sleep,Good Health B.Offices Encourage Napping
C.How to Nap in the Day D.Daytime Nap Is Necessary
