         It's easy to make you embarrassed (窘迫的). You may run into the wrong classroom and everyone
    looks at you. Or you have a piece of cabbage in your teeth! What do the American and British teens find
    embarrassing and how do they react (回应) to it?
         One big embarrassing thing for them is answering personal questions. If you ask "How old are you?"
    or "How much money do you make?", they'll get angry. It's polite to stop asking. If you meet someone
    for the first time, talk about something not personal, such as your neighborhood or school. British people
    love to talk about weather.
         British and American teens feel embarrassed if they still rise their parents'money to buy clothes or
    have to ask their parents before making a decision,because others will laugh at them.
         In some situations, if you look bad in public, don't worry. A child may forget and call his or her teacher
    "mom" in class. A good laugh is a good way out of it! Sometimes you find that you don't have enough
    money when you pay at the supermarket. Just put some things back quickly. If you explain too much,
    you'll attract a lot of attention! 
         Honesty always works best. If you forget the name of a person, or don't know how to clean the toilet
    after using it at your friend's home,just ask them about it.
    1.Which of the following questions may make British or American teens angry?
    [     ]

          "Time is a problem for children," says a news report for a new Swiss watch. Children in some countries
    "learn time slowly" because "they don't wear watches" and "parents don't really know how to teach them time."
    The children grow up with this handicap and become adults and then can't get to work on time. Is there an
    answer to this problem? Of course it's the Flik Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company.
          The Flik Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself
    does not teach children how to tell time, of course; it only "takes their imagination" by presenting the "hour"
    hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the "minute" hand as a tall blue boy named Flik. Flik points to "blue"
    minutes on the dial (钟面), while Flak points to "red" hour numbers. The characters and colors together with
    parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time. 
          Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak, calls it "childproof: if it gets dirty you can
    throw the whole watch in the washing machine," The product is being sold in some department stores in
    Europe, Asia and the United Stares for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may find that it
    is odd thing to tell time; it's quite another for them to be on time.
    1.From the news report we know that _______.
    [     ]
    A.parents are patient when they are teaching children time
    B.parents have little idea of how to teach children time
    C.children in every country learn time slowly
    D.children enjoy wearing the Flik Flak watch
    2.The underlined word "handicap" in the first paragraph means _______.
    [     ]
    A.优势
    B.特点
    C.失望
    D.不足
    3.The United State sales manager calls the new watch "childproof" because _______.
    [     ]
    A.it is designed to teach children to be on time
    B.it proves to be useful in teaching children time
    C.it is made so as not to be easily broken by children
    D.it is the children's favorite watch
