Unit 10 You're supposed to shake hands.
单元话题阅读理解
一、阅读理解
Read the passage and choose the best answers.
I moved to the Spanish capital, Madrid, nearly two months ago. I am here for a year teaching English in a secondary school as a language assistant. Before I arrived, I thought I would be able to adapt to Spanish culture very easily, but my previous(先前的)expectations have been very different from the reality.
Firstly, I didn't realise how difficult it would be to adapt to the Spanish day and the timings of meals. Spanish "midday" is at 14:00, meaning lunch is never before then. My expectation was that I'd be eating lunch at 12:00-13:00, but most days it's 15:30 before I eat lunch. Can I really still call this lunch ! It is the same with dinner or tea. In the UK I eat dinner between 18:00 and 19:00, but now my dinner time is 21:30.
The thing I didn't realise is that this affects the Spanish sleeping routine. Eating dinner so late of course means going to bed so much later. It's such a British thing to go to bed at 22:00! Also, because everything happens later in Spain, the evening socialising time, is very late! Most British night clubs, for example, close at 02:00 or 03:00, but here the party is only just starting at 02:00! This is something else that has really surprised me.
Queuing politely and being careful around strangers is also something that is very British, something that I only realised when I arrived in Spain. I took it for granted that queuing patiently is the norm, but this isn't the case in Spain. If there's a free table in a restaurant, you quickly take it, even if other people have been waiting longer than you.
Moreover, the metro is one big pushing affair. However, the lack of "British politeness" isn't all bad, as it reflects how Spaniards aren't shy in public; being friendly and talking to someone you've never met before is considered normal and is encouraged. Perhaps we'd say that the etiquette of politely queuing in Britain is connected with a culture where interacting(互动)with people you don't know is less common.
Finally, the reality of the Spanish diet is very different from my expectations. I never imagined I'd get so many comments and questions from my flatmates about what I'm eating! Yesterday I made a piece of peanut butter on toast, and my flatmate said that this is such a British thing. It's the same with drinking tea. Food products that are so normal in the UK aren't nearly as popular here.

China and Western countries have something different in cultures about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have the same idea—pigs are ugly, lazy and stupid.
Just look at some Chinese sayings such as "Boiling a dead pig" and "A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig". And in English, there are some expressions like "Eating like a pig" and "Pigs might fly". None of them are complimentary.
However, pigs have some good qualities (品质). They are even as smart as dogs and elephants. They have good memories. And they know whether people treat them well or not.
A UK cartoon, Peppa Pig is a most popular cartoon. The four members in the pig family teach children from all around the world about love, friendship and the value of family. And a Chinese cartoon movie, The Adventures of McDull, is also very famous. In the cartoon, the little pig, McDull, has a heart of gold and always works hard towards his dreams. Most people want quick success, but McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of failing again and again.
Maybe when we talk about pigs next time, we should think of their good qualities.

There are many unusual customs around the world. If you travel there, it's important for you to know about them.
Greece
If children are changing their teeth, instead of saving their teeth and placing them under a pillow (枕头) for the tooth fairy (仙子) to collect, Greek children's teeth are thrown to the roof of their homes. This unusual tradition is thought to bring good luck for the family, as well as a healthy tooth for the child!
China
When dining with locals and traveling in cities, it's important to give out gifts as a way of saying thank you. But remember to avoid giving them the following gifts: clocks, handkerchiefs (手帕) , shoes and anything white or black. It may seem like a good way of saying thank you for their lovely treat, but they are each strongly connected with death and funerals. A proper gift to pass on to show your thanks is delicious sweets or fresh tea.
Thailand
This is probably one of the most unusual customs to look out for, but it's also a lot of fun—especially for your kids! Every November, in the town of Lop Buri, the locals lay out fresh fruit, cakes and candies on top of tables that line the streets. But these mouth—watering treats aren't for the people, they're for the native Macaque monkeys to enjoy. This strange but wonderful celebration is called the Monkey Buffet Festival, and is a must—see on a trip to Thailand.
（1）How do children often deal with their changed teeth in Greece

People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another.

If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have They wish you to give a loud "burp" (打嗝) after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you're having a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn't eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad manners to eat with left hands.

8．阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能正确回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
Why are your study habits different from those of your friends Why do you seem to learn faster in some classes while more slowly in others One reason you may not know is that people have different learning types. Scientists say there are three different learning types: Visual, Auditory（听觉型） and Kin esthetic(动觉型).
Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, graphs(图表) and videos, you are probably a visual learner. You are not good at copying down what the teacher says in class. Never mind. You can draw graphs or pictures instead, if you find that works better for you.
Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to easily remember things by hearing them, then you are probably an auditory learner. You must listen carefully while the teacher is speaking because it's the easiest way for you to learn. Sometimes you may find that taking notes stops you from listening carefully. After class, you can write down what you remember or borrow your friends' notes to copy.
Kin esthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands, you are probably a kin esthetic learner. Taking notes by writing can make you pay close attention to information as you receive it. Of course, you can learn best by making full use of labs or other class activities.
Hope you learn better by knowing what your personal learning type is.
（1）The meaning of "Visual" is ______.
A．感观型 B．视觉型 C．听觉型 D．动觉型
（2）How can a visual learner remember information
A．By listening to the teachers.
B．By writing down what the teachers say.
C．By drawing graphs or pictures.
D．By working with his hands.
（3）Judy can remember the words of a song quickly by listening to it once or twice. She might be a /an______ according to the passage.
A．auditory learner B．visual learner
C．strange learner D．kin esthetic learner
（4）Kin esthetic learners can put ______to good use.
A．libraries B．classrooms C．labs D．offices

Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal. They include how to handle knives, forks and spoons and how to eat in polite manners. To behave well abroad, you are to know some table manners.
Eating manners
Japan: It is "perfectly" okay to slurp when you eat noodles. Unlike making big noises, slurping slightly is not rude. Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp.
Russia: Your wrists should be placed on the edge of the table while eating, a fork in the left hand, and a knife in the right hand. It is not good manners to rest them on your lap. Keep your elbows of the table. Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat.
France: Never discuss money or religion over dinner. What is different from the manners in Russia is that finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners.
Mexico: Whenever you catch the eye of someone who's eating, even a stranger, its good manners to say "provecho" which means enjoy. In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. It's a social occasion-lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours. Where you sit matters in the country. Before you get seated, look for place cards, or wait until the host seats you. And you must say"enjoy your meal"before you leave the table.
Drinking manners
America: If you empty a bottle into someone's glass, it obliges that person to buy the next bottle. It's polite to put the last drops into your own glass.
Australia: In a pub it's usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it's your turn, say "It's my round. "When it's their round, they will buy it for you. Don't leave before you' ve bought a round.

10．阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能正确回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
It seems that school children all over the world complain (抱怨) about their school food. What do students of your age eat for lunch at school in other countries
Japan
High schools have dining rooms. They serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers or chips. Other children bring food from home, such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles(泡菜)and vegetables. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food.
The United States
A typical menu from an American school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one third of the daily amount(总量)of necessary nutrition(营养), such as vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium (钙).
Australia
Meat pies , sausage rolls (香肠卷) and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the country pays more attention to children's health, healthier foods have started to appear on school menus. Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red labeled (标注)foods, including cookies, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green labeled foods such as sushi, sandwiches, corn and watermelons, however, are available every day.
South Africa
Most of South African schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 p. m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students. As a result, it has caused a rise in obesity (肥胖)among children. But as more people begin to realize that being too fat may cause different kinds of serious illnesses, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are offered lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbage, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.

11．阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能正确回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
Clothing is a language. It tells us about individuals: their personality，age，place in society and so on. If we want to know more about society，we can look at traditional clothing.
The continent of Africa has a long history and a rich culture，and this is shown in traditional dress. You often find three colors-red，gold and green in the clothing. The first color stands for the blood of millions of people who suffered as slaves(奴隶). The second is for the rich resources of the African earth，and the third represents the grasslands of home.
The patterns on the clothing also have a meaning. A common pattern is in the form of a cross "×"，which stands for "unity". Another pattern is a rectangular(矩形)box, which represents "strength".
Because clothing has a strong social meaning，people are very careful in choosing what to wear. It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothing，or to wear clothes in the wrong way. For instance，in Ghana，a woman should wear her waistband differently according to the importance of the social event.
Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life. African designs are famous for loose(宽松的)clothing. The climate，with the hot sun and wide temperature ranges(变化), requires that the clothes should be comfortable for daily life.
Although many people wear Western clothes，particularly in the big cities in Africa，traditional dress is very highly valued(评价). This is because it has deep cultural meanings.
（1）What is the passage mainly about
A．The history of African clothes.
B．The cultural traditions of African dress.
C．African modern fashion styles.
D．The materials used in African traditional dress.
（2）Clothing tells us everything except their _______.
A．age and place in society B．style and place in society
C．personality and age D．height and weight
（3）According to the passage, red _______.
A．represents the setting sun
B．is chosen because it is a bright color
C．stands for African unity
D．is a reminder of the sad history in Africa
（4）The color that stands for wealth is _______.
A．gold B．green C．yellow D．black
（5）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．There are two patterns on African traditional dresses.
B．Africans get tired of loose clothing because it is out of style.
C．In Ghana, always wearing the same waistband is a mistake.
D．We can learn the weather at night in Africa is as hot as that in the day.
12．阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能正确回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
In the USA, it is normal for men to shake hands when they meet, but it is quite unusual for men to kiss when they greet each other. Greetings are casual—a handshake, a smile and a "hello" will do just fine.
The British often simply say "hello" when they meet friends. They usually shake hands only when they meet for the first time. Social kissing, often just a peck（轻吻）on the cheek（脸颊）, is common in an informal（非正式的）situation between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.
In Japan, the common greeting for both men and women is to bow when they greet someone, instead of giving a handshake or a hug.
Hungarians like to greet in a friendly way—kiss each other on both cheeks. The most common way is to kiss from your right to your left. When men meet for the first time, a handshake is the norm.
In Albania, men shake hands when greeting one another. A kiss on the cheek may also be common if there is a close relationship. Women may shake hands or kiss each other on both cheeks.
In Armenia, by tradition, a woman needs to wait for a man to offer his hand for a handshake. Between good friends and family members, a kiss on the cheek and a hug are also common.

This August, we'll welcome guests from all over the world. Some of them follow their own special cultural traditions. It's important for us to know about them.
