         The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always
    puts more food onto my 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
    7. When a foreigner has dinner with a Chinese host, he often feels _______.
    A. pleasant
    B. uncomfortable
    C. satisfied
    D. happy
    8. Why does a Chinese often refuse the offer 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.
    9. 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
    10. “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

         Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea.
    Most happen in July, August and September. How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets
    hot in the summer sun, it evaporates (蒸发) into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets
    warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the
    space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when
    the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins.A typhoon has two parts, One is called
    the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye.
    This is where the strongest wind and hardest rains are. Typhoons are very dangerous. In 2004, Typhoon
    Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were missing. In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged.What to do when a typhoon hits:
    ● Stay inside, close all the windows and stay away from them.
    ● Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds
       could even blow away your bikes!
    ● Listen to the radio or TV for important information.
    ● If you’re told to go to a safer place, do so right away.

    1. Typhoons often happen _________.  
    A. in the hot season    
    B. in the cold season
    C. only in China    
    D. under the sea
    2.Which picture can tell the meaning of the underlined sentences“ it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in.”?
    A.  
    B. 
    C .
    D.  
    3. When a typhoon comes, we cannot __________.  
    A. close all the windows   
    B. listen to typhoon news
    C. stay outside with our bikes  
    D. stay inside the strong house
    4. This passage is mainly about __________.

         In a classroom in many countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she
    also teaches the culture of the country.
         In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join
    together and they pay much attention to personal ideas. Teachers try to make each student special.
    Students to do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by
    themselves, There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own
    ideas. Their education encourages personal thought. The important thing is on how to arrive at an answer
    and not only to get the correct answer.
         In most Asian countries, people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason,
    the education there pays more attention to group goals than personal ideas; Children in China and Japan
    often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the ways of teaching are often
    very traditional. The teacher says, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the
    students repeat rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.
         In many ways these differences come from different educational ideas. In Western countries teachers
    are taught to help students to learn. They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some
    Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.
    1. Do students in the United States have to remember a lot of information?
       ______________________________________________________________.
    2. There is often discussion in the classroom in America, isn’t there?
       ______________________________________________________________.

         Before you go to another country, it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs
