        There are many advantages of becoming a professional musician. The biggest advantage is being able to
    do something you love. You will have the chance to travel to many different places and meet a lot of different
    people. That will open up your eyes.
        However, there are also disadvantages of being a professional musician. One of the biggest disadvantages
    for most musicians is that they don't always have enough money. Most of the time, you will be looking for
    jobs. Sometimes you won't be able to find a good job. Another disadvantage is the place you live in. If you
    want to be a musician, you usually have to move to an area that has a lot of jobs, such as New York City.
    The cost of living in these areas is usually very high. The third disadvantage is that you can't have a stable
    family life. Different jobs will take a musician to different places, so most musicians are unable to have a
    regular family.
    1.The advantages of being a professional musician include all the following EXCEPT ______.
    [     ]
    A.making a lot of money all the time
    B.doing something you tike

                                                                 Do as the Romans Do
        The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always
    puts more food onto nay plates as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly. I have to
    eat the food even if I don't want to, because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one's food
    on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American's dinner party, he very often
    refuses the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners
    in China, but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and
    again or insist on his accepting something. Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something,
    they will ask for it. If not, they will say, "No, thanks." When an American is fed with beer by the host, for
    example,he might say, "No, thanks. I'll take some diet, Pepsy-Cola (百事可乐) if you have it." That is what
    an American will do. So when you go to the United States, you had better remember the famous saying:
    when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

    1.From the passage, we can know that the Chinese are usually ______ to the guests.
    [     ]
    A.very hot
    B.rude
    C.impolite
    D.cold
    2.When a foreigner has dinner with a Chinese host, he often feels ______.
    [     ]
    A.pleasant
    B.uncomfortable
    C.satisfied
    D.happy
    3.Why does a Chinese often refuse the of food or drink at a dinner party?
    [     ]
    A.He has had enough.
    B.He is shy.
    C.He is afraid that others will laugh at him.
    D.He thinks it's polite to do that.
    4.When an American wants something to eat or drink at a dinner, he will ______.
    [     ]
    A.ask for it boldly
    B.refuse the offer
    C.ask for it directly
    D.express himself indirectly
    5."When in Rome,do as the Romans do" means "______".
    [     ]
    A.When you got to Rome, you should act as the Romans do
    B.When you stay in Rome, you should do as the Romans do
    C.When you are in a new country, you should do as the locals do
    D.Romans can be an example for you

    if they can't go to school and need help with their lessons. (2)Most teachers allow students to enter class
    late or leave early, if necessary

    during a test. When students want to ask questions, they usually put up a hand and wait. When the teacher
    or a student is speaking to the class, it's rude to talk to another classmate, even in a low voice. When a test
    is being given, talking to a classmate is not only rude but also wrong. In the eyes of most American teachers,
