She

Of

the

wood.
Wood
comes
from
trees, and
trees
are plants.
Vegetables and
fruit are plants, too, and we eat a lot of them.
So can we also eat wood

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
文案大全
实用文档
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 .
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
D. didn't line up for the bus
C. made a loud noise

) for this article is

A.

Manners
C.
Shaking and Nodding Head
D.
Taking a Bus
in England
答案及解析：
1.
D
。这
是一道句子理解题，也可以看成细节题。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
。这是一道细节题。答案在第二自然段的第二个句子。

3.
B
。同
第二题一样，此题也是细节题。可在第二自然段直接找到答案。
4.
A<
/p>
。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
。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
