American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many other countries do so, too.It is a very good habit.
You should say “thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking before you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful.
“Thank you” is used not only between parents and children, but also between brothers and sisters, husbands and wives.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they often use.When you hear someone say it behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you.
It is impolite to interrupt others while they are talking.If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking.You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others.
Let’s all learn to say “Thank you” and “Excuse me”.
根据语篇内容,判断下列句子正(T)误(F)。
(F)1.American people like to say “Excuse me” when others help them or say something kind to them.
(T)2.You should say “Thank you” when someone says you have done your work well.
(F)3.“Thank you” is only used between friends.

Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information.So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions.If anyone asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man.He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building.I gave him my usual reply.But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building.However, I had no time to turn back and look for him.I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.

Thanks to the ancient Silk Road, the lands of Italy and China have been connected for more than 2,000 years.Tourists from China and every corner of the world come to visit Italy every year.Here are four famous cities of Italy.
Rome is the birth place of science, culture and of course, art in Europe.It is the perfect combination(结合)of the modern and the classical.When one walks around the city, one can see many museums.Of course, Rome is also considered as the fashion(时尚)center of the world now. The Rome Coliseum is today considered one wonder(奇迹)of the modern world.
Pisa is a small city.It is famous for the Leaning Tower of Pisa.If you think that Pisa has only one leaning tower, you may just be wrong.This city has three leaning towers.Home of the famous scientist Galileo, Pisa is also known for its universities because the city is home of some of the most important universities in Europe.
Florence is one of the most important provinces around Italy.Shopping here, you’ll find David, the most famous statue(雕像)of Michelangelo.If you are planning to spend a couple of days in Florence, you likely will not want to lose the opportunity to see and enjoy Arnolfo Tower. It will be open on Sunday and Monday from 9 am to 6 pm.(closed in case of rain).
Venice is a city with over a hundred islands.You can visit most interesting places of the city by walk or by the famous gondolas.Art exhibitions, film festivals and famous carnival(狂欢节)make Venice a place that can be visited any time of the year.
(A)1.According to the passage, which city is considered as a fashion center of the world now

When two people meet, there are a lot of ways of greeting.The ways of greeting are not always the same in different countries.
In America, two people usually greet each other with a handshake.It is a way to show respect to the other person.Athletes from opposite teams shake hands before a game for the same reason.However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they have already known well.When American friends meet each other, they might only wave (挥手), or maybe just nod their heads.
In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”.In the greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads (前额)together and close their eyes.This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori, who were the first people to live in New Zealand.Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet.
Kissing is sometimes used as a way to greet someone.In some countries, important people used to wear special rings.It was the custom for visitors to kiss these rings when they came for a meeting.In France, when people meet, they sometimes kiss each other on the face.
In Japan, people bow to each other every time they meet.Even family members bow to each other.How low to bow depends on how respected the other person is.
Today, new ways of greeting are created all the time.People can do this with a quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile.The important thing is that the people they are greeting understand them.
(B)5.What does the underlined part “the same reason” refer to
A.Showing love.
B.Showing respect.
C.Thanking each other.
(C)6.What can we learn from the third paragraph

American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many other countries do so, too.It is a very good habit.
You should say “thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking before you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful.
“Thank you” is used not only between parents and children, but also between brothers and sisters, husbands and wives.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they often use.When you hear someone say it behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you.
It is impolite to interrupt others while they are talking.If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking.You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others.
Let’s all learn to say “Thank you” and “Excuse me”.

Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information.So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions.If anyone asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man.He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building.I gave him my usual reply.But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building.However, I had no time to turn back and look for him.I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.

When two people meet, there are a lot of ways of greeting.The ways of greeting are not always the same in different countries.
In America, two people usually greet each other with a handshake.It is a way to show respect to the other person.Athletes from opposite teams shake hands before a game for .However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they have already known well.When American friends meet each other, they might only wave (挥手), or maybe just nod their heads.
In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”.In the greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads (前额)together and close their eyes.This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori, who were the first people to live in New Zealand.Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet.
Kissing is sometimes used as a way to greet someone.In some countries, important people used to wear special rings.It was the custom for visitors to kiss these rings when they came for a meeting.In France, when people meet, they sometimes kiss each other on the face.
In Japan, people bow to each other every time they meet.Even family members bow to each other.How low to bow depends on how respected the other person is.
