An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you might simply say something like this, “I’m afraid I’ll have to find a cheap place because I don’t have 1) _______ ________.” The other person may say, "OK., I'll meet you at McDonald's. "This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, "Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Johnson's ", or "I want you to try the steak(牛排) there. It's great. "This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him, and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may simply say, "Thank you. That would be very nice."
American customs(習俗) about who pays for a date(約會) are much the same as those in other parts of the world.3) In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a woman who is a university(大學) student or is working in the business world will usually pay her own way during the date. If a man asks her to dinner, outside the normal working hours ,it means "come as my guest(客人). " So you can see it is better for you to make the question clear at the very beginning.

My teachers suggested that I see a speech specialist (專家) in school.
I never really gave much thought to my speech. If other people understood what I was saying, then that was good enough. I didn’t mind repeating myself many times.
Before testing me, the speech specialist asked me what I thought of having good speech. I told her I thought it was not important.
“Well, when you are in an interview for a job, and they don’t know what you are saying, what are they going to say to you? Nice meeting you, bye,” she said.
Maybe good speech was important. I took part in 20-minute classes each week with the specialist.
After she tested me, she told me that I spoke too fast, and didn’t give enough eye contact (眼神交流). I learned that when I made eye contact with someone, it meant that I was talking to that person, and I could also see what he or she thought about what I was saying.
When my first speech class started, I found that I had been speaking too fast to be understood. Every time I spoke too fast, the specialist stopped me and told me to start again. At first, I got stopped after almost every other sentence. After a while, I felt my speech slow down. I wasn’t sure if people could understand me better, but my friends stopped asking me to repeat myself.
Speech is an important skill to have. If you do have good speech, that’s a good thing, but if you don’t have it, it is never too late to improve.

A. a newspaper B. an advertisement C. a detective story D. a science book

c. He seldom kept eye contact with people. d. He didn’t give others time to ask questions.
A. a,
b B. b,
c 
C.
a,

D. b, d

A. the writer’s friends couldn’t understand him

D. the writer didn’t slow down

Leonardo da Vinci began painting the Mona Lisa in 1503. He was working on an important painting for a church at the time, but the church painting was not going well. An Italian businessman asked da Vinci to paint a picture of the businessman’s second wife. This is the woman who can be seen in the Mona Lisa.
All in all, the Mona Lisa is a very good example of da Vinci’s work. Da Vinci uses darkness and light in a clever way in the painting.
Da Vinci loved science and math. Right away a person can see that there is a lot of geometry (幾何) in the Mona Lisa. The face of Mona Lisa is made of many circles and round shapes like balls. Even her smile can be seen as a small part of a large circle.
The woman in the painting is sitting on a balcony, and mountains can be seen behind her. Da Vinci loved to study rocks and mountains, so these can be seen over and over again in his other paintings.
The woman is sitting with her knees to the side. Her head is turned to look out of the painting. Her hands are held together in front of her. This way of sitting is now used by many artists when they are painting a picture of a man or woman today.

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 (習慣)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 (點頭) 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 .
1.The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen______
A．were foreigners B．didn't have tickets
C．made a loud noise D．didn't line up for the bus
2. According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should ____
A．learn the language of the country
B．understand the manners and customs of the country
C．have enough time and money
D．make friends with the people there
3.In India it is considered impolite ___________.
A．to use the right hand for passing food at table.
B．to pass food with the left hand.
C．to eat food with your hands.
D．to help yourself at table.
4.To cross one's legs at an important meeting in Europe is _______.
A．a(chǎn) common (平常的) habit B．a(chǎn)n important manner

Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy,
lively and warm.
That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
