Giving gifts is a kind of knowledge,and is also one kind of strategy(策略).In the western countries,you should be careful of giving gifts.Never give a gift in a job interview or at a business meeting.Gifts are usually given during special holidays,or as a “thank you” for inviting.When arriving at a special party,you may give your gift to the host as soon as you finish the self introduction .Here are a few rules:
Be modest(适度的) with your gift.Do not buy gifts that are too expensive,such as a Swiss watch or a gold ring.A special food from your country,a bottle of wine,candy,or flowers are the best if you do not know the host very well,but be sure that your gift will not need much attention.You can usually say something like “I hope you will like it.” when you give your gift.
Be careful of giving wine.A bottle of wine is usually all right if you know your host drinks wine,but hard alcohol(酒精) should only be given as a gift when you know the host well and are certain that they would like such a gift.Flowers are good,but remember: roses are for special love.You have to be careful.

What is a good excuse to ask for some time off?At your school,being sick may be the only one.But in British schools,family events are also well accepted ones.The National Association of Head Teachers in the UK writes new rules about students asking for leave.They will agree parents to take their children out of school for family weddings(婚礼) or funerals(葬礼) or visiting an ill relative.
This is a change from the old rules that stopped parents taking children out of school without permission(允许).If they break the rule,they could get a fine of 60 pounds(about 560 yuan).Family events were not proper excuse to get permission.
Many parents don't like this rule.“Taking part in family events is very important for children and that itself is a lesson the schools cannot teach our children,”John Hemming,told The Independent.
The new change backs up this idea and gives permission to students taking time off for family events.It's now OK for British students to take time off for family events.
In China,however,many students almost don't have time off for family events.“That's part of the reason for the generation gap(代沟) between parents and children,” Guo Hongxia,wrote in China Education Daily.
( )61.In Chinese schools,what is a good excuse to ask for time off
A.Any excuse. B.Only getting sick.
C.Family events. D.Taking part in a match.
( )62.In the UK now,parents can't take their children out of school because of .
A.family weddings B.family funerals
C.fishing activities D.visiting an ill relative
( )63.According to the old rules,who could get a fine after taking children out without permission
A.The school. B.The head teacher.
C.All teachers. D.Children's parents.
( )64.The underlined words “this idea” in Paragraph 4 refer to .
A.schools can't teach children the important growth lesson in family events
B.family events are not proper excuse to get permission to take time off
C.parents can get a fine if they take their children out of school
D.taking family events isn't important for the children
( )65.According to the passage,we know that .
A.in the UK,there's a big generation gap between parents and children
B.in China,many students don't have time off for family events
C.the rules of taking the day off in the world are all the same
D.all the students can't take time off for family events

What can be both red or green,round or sharp,big or small,and more importantly,loved or hated by someone? 66
Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food. 67 A 34 year old US man ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper,the spiciest chili.After taking just a single bite(咬) of one,the man had serious headaches in the following days,said BBC News.
In fact,eating spicy food causes stomachache and headache.But if chilies do harm to people,why do they like to eat this vegetable? 68 Natural chemicals can affect the human(人类) body and they produce “a sense of happiness”,noted BBC News.
69 Scientists found that the death rate(死亡率) of people eating spicy food once or twice a week is 10% lower than people eating it less than once a week.The death rate is 14% lower for people eating spicy food six to seven times a week.This asks people to eat more spicy food to improve health and bring less death risk at an early age. 70 It seems that chilies are good for us.
A.Yes,the answer is chilies.
B.So,don't worry if you love spicy food.
C.So what makes people love chilies so much
D.And chilies do good to people in another way.

When you have dinner at a friend's home in America,you should remember the following table manners.
Don't 81 /'s (r)kl/ your plate with your arms.If you do so,everyone at the table will think,“Is there anything wrong with the food?” This may give them 82 wrong message.They may think you don't like the food or something like that.
Don't lean(倚靠) back and say “I'm full” when you finish 83 (eat).Just put the 84 /f (r)k/ and knife across the plate.That's all.
Don't cut 85 everything before you start to eat.It's not polite to do so.You'd better cut only one or two 86 (piece) at a time.
Never take a big mouthful(满口的) of anything or eat 87 (noisy).Do you want to show how 88 /'h gri/ you are?Don't do that.It's not so good.
It's never good to reach across the table for anything.If the food is not at hand,just ask the nearest person for help, 89 “Mrs.Smith,could you pass me the dish?”

Be careful of giving wine.A bottle of wine is usually all right if you know your host drinks wine,but hard alcohol(酒精) should only be given as a gift when you know the host well and are certain that they would like such a gift.Flowers are good,but remember: roses are for special love.You have to be careful.
A small cultural gift from your country is usually very good.Make sure that your gift is packed nicely.A nice card with it will be better.

What is a good excuse to ask for some time off?At your school,being sick may be the only one.But in British schools,family events are also well accepted ones.The National Association of Head Teachers in the UK writes new rules about students asking for leave.They will agree parents to take their children out of school for family weddings(婚礼) or funerals(葬礼) or visiting an ill relative.
This is a change from the old rules that stopped parents taking children out of school without permission(允许).If they break the rule,they could get a fine of 60 pounds(about 560 yuan).Family events were not proper excuse to get permission.
Many parents don't like this rule.“Taking part in family events is very important for children and that itself is a lesson the schools cannot teach our children,”John Hemming,told The Independent.
The new change backs up this idea and gives permission to students taking time off for family events.It's now OK for British students to take time off for family events.
In China,however,many students almost don't have time off for family events.“That's part of the reason for the generation gap(代沟) between parents and children,” Guo Hongxia,wrote in China Education Daily.
( B )61.In Chinese schools,what is a good excuse to ask for time off

C.Family events. D.Taking part in a match.
( C )62.In the UK now,parents can't take their children out of school because of .
A.family weddings B.family funerals
C.fishing activities D.visiting an ill relative
( D )63.According to the old rules,who could get a fine after taking children out without permission
A.The school. B.The head teacher.
C.All teachers. D.Children's parents.
( A )64.The underlined words “this idea” in Paragraph 4 refer to .
A.schools can't teach children the important growth lesson in family events
B.family events are not proper excuse to get permission to take time off
C.parents can get a fine if they take their children out of school

Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food. 67 A 34 year old US man ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper,the spiciest chili.After taking just a single bite(咬) of one,the man had serious headaches in the following days,said BBC News.
In fact,eating spicy food causes stomachache and headache.But if chilies do harm to people,why do they like to eat this vegetable? 68 Natural chemicals can affect the human(人类) body and they produce “a sense of happiness”,noted BBC News.

Good Manners in the UK
Hello,everyone.Now let me tell you some good manners in the UK.
