I never thought a handshake before and after a job interview was a form of etiquette (礼仪), and no one told me. In fact, it is 31 to have a three-second handshake that starts the interview and another one right after it.
Once, I was at a job 32 . After the interview, I had already got out of the manager’s room when I realized I had forgotten to shake his hand with a “thank you”. So I 33 to his office, went straight to him and offered my hand. What a disaster! I felt so embarrassed (尴尬的). I thought I must look 34 at that moment. Clearly, I failed the interview. I still remember that funny memory until today.
Another time, I was 35 to a wedding dinner. It was the first time I had dinner at such an expensive restaurant. On the table there were more than 10 kinds of special 36 I had never tried before. While eating, my Chinese friend was telling me about how people usually cooked them. I couldn’t understand most of what she said except for the Pan Tow and I ignored (不理) what she said. After dinner, I was asked which dish I 37 most.
“I loved the Pan Tow!” I 38 at once.
There was a moment of silence, and then she explained that a Pan Tow was not a dish but the pan on which the dish was cooked.
Could you imagine my face It was terribly 39 .
These two things taught me to present myself in the best possible manner. Remember to listen 40 when people talk with you and think twice before you speak.

三、阅读理解
(一)
In China, a thumb up sign is used to praise someone for being “good” “great” and “smart”. In America, a thumb up sign means “It’s good” or “It’s OK” while a thumb down sign means the opposite (相反的) . But in some countries, a thumb up sign has other meanings. For example, in Japan, that also means “man” “your father” and “the highest”. In South Korea, it also means “the chief” “one’s own father” “minister” and “captain”. As for French people and Indians, this gesture can be used when asking for a ride.
Pointing at others with your forefinger (食指) is very impolite in Europe and America.
In the United States, holding your forefinger up and stationary (不动的) means you want to ask someone to wait. French people ask for answering questions by using this gesture. In Myanmar, it means “please”. In Singapore, it shows something or someone is the most important.
Holding out your forefinger and middle finger and making the “v” word can mean “victory (胜利) ” in Britain, France and other countries.
Because “v” is the first letter of victory. But in Serbia, the gesture stands for “heroism” and in the Netherlands, it stands for “freedom”.
Besides, the “OK” sign means “money” in Japan while it means bad behavior in Latin America.
41.What does the underlined word “that” refer to
A.The thumb down sign. B.The thumb up sign.
C.The hand up sign. D.The hand down sign.
42.What CAN’T we learn from the passage
A.The thumb down sign may mean “It’s bad” or “I don’t agree” in America.

C.People in Singapore usually hold their forefinger up and stationary to show “please”.
D.The meaning of “OK” sign in Latin America is different from that in Japan.

A.Different Meanings of Sign Languages
B.Sign Languages in Western Countries
C.Different Countries Have Different Cultures
D.Body Language in the World Is All Different
(二)
In Britain you may often hear “Drop in any time” or “Come to see me soon”, but you can’t really do that. People just say those things to make you feel welcome. It is better to telephone before visiting someone at home. If you receive a written invitation to an event that says “RSVP”, you should reply to let the person who sent the invitation know whether or not you plan to go.
You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to come.” If, after accepting, you are unable to go, be sure to tell those who are expecting you as soon as possible that you will not be there.
Though it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, and a small gift are all appropriate (合适的). A thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and is an appropriate way to express your appreciation for the invitation.
44.What can you do when a British friend says “Drop in any time”
A.Visit him or her soon.
B.Visit him or her at any time.
C.Telephone him or her before visiting.

① Different countries have different customs in giving presents. How should we do properly Always remember : ________
② In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the sound of the word for “clock” is similar to the sound for “death” in Chinese. Also, don’t wrap (包裹) a present in white, black or blue paper, because these are the colors for funerals (葬礼). Don’t give a knife, because something sharp can cut a friendship.
③ In Russia, if we give flowers as a present, we have to give odd numbers of them (one, three, five, etc. ), because even numbers of flowers (two, four, six, etc. ) are for funerals.
④ In Germany, flowers are a good present to take to your dinner hostess, but don’t take her red roses because it means you are in love with her. Don’t take thirteen of anything because it’s an unlucky number. Don’t take an even number of anything, either. Don’t wrap your present in white, brown or black paper.

(四)
You are in the shopping mall and see a lady trying to open the door with bags in both hands. You help her open the door. “Thank you!” she says warmly. 51
The most widely-used reply is “You’re welcome”. This is what you might have learned in your textbook. It is formal. So you’ll hear the shopping assistant reply with this – and hopefully with a smile, too! 52
While the textbook is correct, there are other good choices as well. That’s because spoken English is quite informal (非正式的). More common replies these days include “No problem”. 53 It’s also common when you’ve helped someone with a favor for example, helping someone move a heavy box. It means it wasn’t difficult to give a helping hand. “Sure thing” is another popular reply.
54 If you’re speaking with an Australian friend, they might say “no worries”. Americans like using “Sure” or “It’s fine”.
However, 55 So try these phrases and find the reply that suits your own style.
A.Another formal reply is “my pleasure”, which is getting outdated.
B.How would you reply
C.People usually say it among friends.
D.People in most countries say “thank you” the same way.
E.There is no wrong way to reply to “thank you” .
F.Different countries use different way to reply.
四、短文填空
How quickly can you count (数) from one 56 ten Do you use ten different words to do it Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your 57 (one) language Do you count on your fingers Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world.
But scientists have 58 (discover) that it is not true.
People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first finger. They then extend (伸展) the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb (大拇指) to count to five. Then they repeat this with 59 other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can 60 (easy) count to ten on only one hand.
Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found some other 61 (fact). They point that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. For example, the aboriginal,people in Australia, don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have words for numbers. 62 , they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers. Similarly, people of the Piranha tribe in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. They are not 63 to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees”, “more trees” or “many trees”.
Professor Edward Gibson from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said that most people believe that everyone knows 64 to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it’s not 65 (use) in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.”
