In China, it's natural and important 36 a host to make a lively atmosphere (气氛).However, in Russia and Western countries, having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice 37 .You need to be polite to others.I feel bad about this.Even though we try our best, it's very difficult to 38 a new habit.Russians have their own special habits.
My Russian friend, Audrey, always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home.I asked her 39 she did this.“Aha,” Audrey said. “In Russia, people always take about a minute to go over things and plans in their minds before going out.So they won't leave anything necessary behind.” Finding the 40 between two kinds of cultures is much fun.I'd like to keep my eyes and mind open.

In China, children like to make promises by hooking pinkies (用小手指拉钩) with each other and saying, “A pinkie promise must be kept for 100 years.” Then, they may press their thumbs (按拇指) together to 41 the promise. Sometimes a couple hook their pinkies and promise to be 42 together.
How did the pinkie promise come out Some say it came from a nursery rhyme (童谣). Others say it was introduced from the West — born out of a love 43 where a man and a woman hooked fingers. It is said that it may have something to do with the role of fingers in Chinese 44 . The Chinese character (汉字) for “finger” also means “aim” — people's thoughts. So hooking fingers can be seen as the exchanging of thoughts. Therefore, the fingers 45 an important role in making a promise. They can not only be used to complete a promise, but also be cut 46 making a blood promise. 47 people swear (发誓) to the sky, they point their fingers to the sky.
Generally, hooking fingers means making a 48 promise. In some movies, if a person breaks a promise, he may do something bad to 49 himself or herself! Of course, this kind of thing is not very likely to happen in the 50 world. But we can still see how important “pinkie promises” are.

A lot of people have become interested in Japanese food recently. Let's learn about some popular dishes in Japan.
Sushi Before eating, you can pour some soy sauce (大豆酱油) into the small dish. It's bad manners to waste soy sauce, so try not to pour more sauce than that you do as usual. Hands or chopsticks can be used to eat sushi. Usually you are supposed to eat a piece of sushi in one bite. Dividing a piece into two may not be very wonderful. Sashimi Put some wasabi (芥末) on the sashimi piece, but be careful not to put too much as it will change the taste of the dish. Pour some soy sauce into the small dish provided, put the sashimi pieces into the soy sauce, and then enjoy a wonderful meal. Some types of sashimi can be enjoyed with ground ginger (姜粉) rather than wasabi.
Miso soup As a traditional Japanese soup, the miso soup is a common course for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can have the miso soup out of the bowl as if it were a cup, and enjoy the solid (固体的) food pieces with your chopsticks instead of bad manners. Noodles As you do in China, you should use chopsticks to eat noodles. You may feel shocked at the slurp (吃饭发出声音) of people around. Slurping noodles is considered as a sign of enjoying the meal instead of bad manners.
( )56.What are you advised to do when you eat Sushi
A.You can use knives or forks.
B.You can use hands or chopsticks.
C.You can eat a piece of sushi in many bites.
D.You can pour more sauce than you do as usual.
( )57.What does the underlined word “it” refer to
A.Sushi. B.Noodles.
C.Miso soup. D.Wasabi.
( )58.Which of the following is true according to the introductions above
A.These four kinds of food are all about Japanese food.
B.Miso soup isn't a traditional Japanese food.
C.When you eat noodles, you shouldn't make noises.
D.Some types of sashimi can be enjoyed without ground ginger.
B
Many working people don't go home during the lunch break. Some go to the restaurant to have lunch. Some buy takeout food as their lunch. But buying takeout food is not just costing us money — there might be a cost in damaging (损坏) our planet, too. Just having a sandwich, crisps and maybe a cake and coffee can produce at least four kinds of waste: disposable (一次性的) boxes, cups, wrappers and straws.
Then how can we solve this problem According to Hubbub, an environmental group, people should be encouraged to eat packed lunches. Tessa Tricks from the group says, “People are saying that they are buying takeout food because life has got busier.” But she argues that it's usually healthier and cheaper to make your own lunch. If you are too busy to make your own lunch and you are going to buy lunch,Hubbub suggests taking your own lunch box to a restaurant and asking them to put your food in it. The idea of using reusable (可多次使用的) coffee cups for hot drinks and refilling water bottles has already proved successful. A survey in East Anglia (in the UK) showed that offering a 10% price reduction did encourage some customers to come with their own lunch boxes.
If we give our lunchtime eating habits some thought, we can all do our best to help prevent climate change and reduce damage to our environment.
( )59.What's the main idea of Paragraph 1
A.Why working people don't have lunch at home.
B.What people can do to protect our planet.
C.Where working people have their lunch.
D.What problems buying takeout food can cause.
( )60.What does Hubbub suggest taking when you buy takeout food
A.Disposable boxes.
B.Reusable coffee cups.
C.Your own lunch box.
D.Disposable water bottles.
( )61.What does the underlined word “reduction” mean
A.Rise. B.Hurt. C.Cut. D.Help.
( )62.Where can we read the passage
A.An environmental magazine.
B.A guidebook.
C.A cooking magazine.
D.A science book.

Clothing is a language. We can know more about culture through traditional clothing.
Africa has a long history and a rich culture, and this is shown in its traditional dress. The three colors—red, gold and green, are often used in the clothing. The first color represents (代表) the blood of millions of people who fought for freedom (自由). The second color means rich resources (资源) of the African earth. And the third color stands for the grassland of home.
Because clothing has strong social meanings, people are very careful to choose what to wear. It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothes, or to dress in the wrong way. For example, in Ghana, a woman should wear her waistband (腰带) differently according to the importance of the social event.
Traditional dress also tells us about our everyday lives. African designs are famous for loose (宽松的) clothing. The temperature there can be very high during the daytime but very low at night. So the clothes should be comfortable for their daily life.
Although more and more young people like wearing Western clothes today, especially in big cities in Africa, traditional African dress is still quite valuable. This is because it has deep cultural meanings.
( )63.What does clothing have something to do with according to the passage
A.History. B.Wealth. C.Culture. D.Time.
( )64.What can we know from the third paragraph
A.Clothing has strong social meanings.
B.Clothes are nice and cheap in Africa.
C.Everyone needs to wear a waistband.
D.Ghana is a rich and beautiful country.
( )65.What would be the best title for the passage
A.Different clothes
B.The most beautiful clothes
C.African education
D.Clothing is a language

When you are away from home, eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full.Sharing a meal with others is a kind of communication.
When you are in a foreign country, saying yes to the food on your plate is important.It means that you accept the host and the country.That's why most experienced travelers try to eat everything everywhere, even though the dish looks strange.
We often feel uncomfortable with food that we are unfamiliar (不熟悉的) with.However, food that seems strange in one culture may be a favorite food in another. In the south of China, for example, there are many restaurants that make dishes from snakes. Sheep's eyeballs may be unfamiliar in some parts of the world, but in Saudi Arabia, they are a choice of food. In parts of Colombia, roasted ants are.
Can you refuse such food politely Most experienced travelers say no. You should at least try a bit of it. Cut things into very thin pieces. This way, you won't notice what it looks like or remember where it came from.Or, “Swallow (咽下) it quickly,” as one traveler advises. “I still can't tell you what roasted ants taste like.”
Another useful piece of advice is this: It's better if you don't know what you are eating.Don't ask what's for dinner.Avoid looking at the kitchen or looking at restaurant menus.Your host will be very happy because you are eating the food that he or she offers.
( )66.Why is it important to say yes to the food on your plate in a foreign country
A.Because it shows the importance of tasting foreign food.
B.Because it shows you are a very polite traveler.
C.Because it means you accept the culture in this country.
D.Because it means you are interested in the foreign country.
( )67.Where has the traveler in Paragraph 4 most probably been to
A.The United States. B.China.
C.Saudi Arabia. D.Colombia.
( )68.According to the text, what should you do when the host served you strange food in a foreign country
A.Learn where it came from.
B.See how it was cooked.
C.Ask about its name.
D.Have a taste of it.
( )69.Which of the following is TRUE
A.People in Saudi Arabia like to eat snakes.
B.Sharing meals is a good way to communicate with others.
C.We'd better not eat food that seems strange in foreign countries.
D.Most experienced travelers often look at the menu.

Then, the master said to Jack, “Life is full of challenges. In yesterday's test, choosing the difficult path could have helped you prepare for this one. When you choose the easier path, you complete that test easily but you will not be able to pass more difficult ones.”

We took off shoes before we entered Li's home. Then I kissed Li and her mother, but it was wrong. I was supposed to bow instead. Then, we had dinner together. To my surprise, we should sit on the floor and cross legs throughout the meal. The food that Li's mother cooked looked very nice, and I couldn't wait to eat. However, when I put the food into my mouth, I found it was too hot. Luckily, Li passed me some soup at once. My funny look made everyone laugh.

One Possible Version:
Last Saturday, I took Peter, a student from America, to experience some Chinese cultures. Everything he experienced that day was a great attraction for him.
In the morning, Peter and I went to visit a tea museum, where he learnt a lot about Chinese tea. After that, I took him home and taught him to make zongzi. Although it was a bit difficult, he still enjoyed it. In the afternoon, we had a Chinese class, learning the history of Chinese characters. He also tried to write some characters with a Chinese brush, and even lost himself in it.
Peter kept saying “Amazing!” all the way, which made me really proud of our rich cultures.
