Module 2.4 My home town and my country Unit 3
阅读理解
In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的). No one had told them about the British custom (习惯) of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .
Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty.
In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.
In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免) touching the head of an adult (成人) ——it's just not done in Thailand .

答案解析：
单项选择题
1. D
解析：在第一自然段的最后，有这样的句子： No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at a bus stop is the first person to get on the bus．从此句可知那三位先生并不知道在英国乘车的习惯，所以答案是D。
2. B
解析：这是一道细节题由文章的这句If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. 可得出答案。
3. B
解析：由文章的这句A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table.可得出答案。
4. A
解析：单句理解题。最后一个自然段中有说：In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs When you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting．这个句子的意思是：在欧洲，开会时翘二郎腿是很常见的。这说明许多人有这样的习惯，所以答案应该是A。
5. B
解析：通读全文就会发现，只学习一门外语是不够的，还要多了解该国的风俗习惯，否则就会遇到麻烦，所以答案是B。
6. B
解析：quieter表示更安静的
翻译：—你介意待在这么吵闹的房间吗啊？ ? ? ?—不介意，但是我的孩子需要一个安静一点的地方学习。
7. A
解析：be famous for因...而著名
8. C
解析：用populaton询问人口时，用What提问
9. C
解析：million与数字搭配时不变复数，只有在词组millions of 中才加s，表示成百万的
10. C
解析：with 表示伴随状态，译为带有、具有
