Whether it's dinner at a friend's house or a business meeting over lunch, we judge people based on their table manners. But what can you do if your kids do not behave themselves at the dinner tables? The following are seven tips to set your children on the road to good table manners:

●Look for the good. Instead of pointing out(指出) all the things your children do wrong, point out what they do right. Please say, for example, “ I am so proud of you. It was wonderful the way you served yourself.”

●Don’t turn dinner into an unpleasant “l(fā)ecture time”. That will turn kids off not only manners, but dinner, and you, too.

●Check your own example. Don't show up for dinner in just your underwear (內(nèi)衣) unless you want your kids to do the same.

●Don't always consider your kids lazy and dirty ones. Instead, point out the behavior in a tender way. For example: “It’s a good idea to unfold your napkin, so if food falls you won’t dirty your clothes.”

●Teach your kids good manners in the form of a game. One night a week, try to have a formal dinner. Try dressing up, serve a special meal, and expect more formal manners. That will help improve their sense ( 意識(shí)) of manners.

● Make kids understand part of the tradition. Invite guests over and let kids help serve them. This helps them indirectly learn about table manners.

●Try dining out once in a while. Fast food restaurants aren't counted(算在內(nèi)). Try a nice restaurant and let kids order their own food, pay the bill and give the tip.

When you read an article you will understand and remember it better if you can work out how the writer has put the ideas together．Sometimes a writer puts ideas together by asking questions and then answering them．For example，if the article is about groundhogs（土撥鼠），the set of questions in the writer’s head might be：
What does a groundhog look like？
Where do groundhogs live？
What do they eat？…
In the article，the author might answer those questions．
Sometimes an author writes out her questions in the article．These questions give you signals．They tell you what the author is going to write next．Often an author has a question in her head but she doesn’t write it out for you．You have to work out her question for yourself．Here’s a sample reading for you to practice this method.
Earthworms
Do you know how many kinds of earthworms there are？There are about 1800 kinds in the world！ They can be brown，purple，green．They can be as small as 3 cm long and as large as 3 m long．
The best time to see earthworms is at night，especially a cool，damp night．That’s when they come up from their burrows（地洞）to hunt for food．Earthworms don’t like to be in the sun．That’s because they breathe through their skin，and they can’t breathe if their skin gets too dry．Earthworms must come out of the earth if it rains a lot，because they can't breathe in their flooded burrows．What a dangerous life！
Earthworms don't have eyes，so how can they tell when it's dark？ They have special places on their skin that are sensitive to light．These spots tell whether it’s light or dark．If you shine a flashlight on an earthworm at night，it will quickly disappear into the ground．
Earthworms don't have ears either，but they can hear by feeling movements in the earth．If you want to hear like an earthworm，lie on the ground with your fingers in your ears．Then have a friend stamp his or her feet near you．This is how earthworms feel birds and people walking，and moles digging，near them．
Earthworms are useful．Farmers and gardeners like having lots of earthworms in their land because the worms help to make better soil when they dig．That digging keeps the soil loose and airy（通風(fēng)的）．In one year earthworms can pile up as much as 23,000 kg of castings in an area about the size of a football field．
【小題1】What’s the purpose of reading Earthworms?

A．To show the special life facts of earthworms.
B．To explain the differences from the groundhogs.
C．To put the writer’s idea into real use.
D．To make the readers think more clearly.
【小題2】Which question CANNOT be answered in the passage?
A．How do earthworms help with gardeners?
B．What life are earthworms living with?
C．When may people observe earthworms?
D．Why can human listen like earthworms?
【小題3】How can you understand Earthworms better according to this passage?
A．Read, ask and answer questions in your own head while reading.
B．Read to work out all the questions in the writer’s head while reading.
C．Read and check all the things that are not clear to you again and again.
D．Read for general ideas and discuss or compare with other similar topics.
【小題4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A．One way to help with understanding
B．One way to practice with a new idea
C．One way to learn to be a wise writer
D．One way to be clearer about worms

The days are getting shorter and shorter, and temperatures are dropping. Winter is coming and it is easy for people to catch flu. Many people have started taking vitamin C pills as a precautionary(預(yù)防的)way. But a research has shown that vitamin C pills do not provide as much protection as they think. They are even not as good as other ways, like often washing your hands. Some German scientists have given people information and a test on the subject helping to stop incorrect ways.

Whether it is caused by cold or flu(流行性感冒), a runny nose and sore throat are signs of catching a cold. Many people overestimate(高估) the advantages of vitamin C and other pills. For years it was believed that taking vitamin C pills not only provided protection against colds but also against cancers, helping people to live longer. But the result of the research showed disagreement on these beliefs(看法). The result has now come out on the website wwww.informedhealthonline.org. “Some pills may not help people live longer. Some pills may even lead to earlier death,” says Professor Peter Sawicki. Scientists also say that the best way to get vitamins is through food instead of having vitamin pills. That is to say, we disagree with the way of taking vitamin C pills.

There are many simple but useful ways to lower the risk of catching a cold. These include often washing your hands with normal soap(肥皂) and water and not touching your face with your hands. People who have already had a cold can stop it from spreading by throwing away tissues(紙巾) at once after using them and not shaking hands with other people.

1.Most people believe that taking vitamin C pills can _______.

A．make them catch a cold easily

B．provide protection against colds

C．make them cleverer

D．prevent all illnesses

2.A runny nose and sore throat mean someone ________.

A．will catch a cold in a few days

B．would never catch a cold

C．has caught a cold

D．would never spread colds to others

3.The best way to get vitamins is _______.

A．eating food which contains Vitamins

B．taking vitamin pills

C．drinking water which contains vitamins

D．eating as much pork as possible

4._______ is NOT an effective way to lower the risk of catching a cold.

A．Not touching your face with your hands

B．Often washing your hands with normal soap and water

C．Not shaking hands with those people who have already had a cold

D．Not throwing away tissues at once after using them

5.About taking vitamin C pills, _______ is shown by the research.

A．fighting against sore throat

B．fighting against colds and cancers

C．helping people live longer

D．leading to earlier death by some pills

科目：初中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年浙江省杭州市初三下學(xué)期開學(xué)檢測(cè)英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit (限速)?

If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk (象鼻) said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear( 矛 ) as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who took hold of the elephant’s tail, insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The last, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.

Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.

To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water (溫水)in the third. Now put your left hand in the hot water. Put your right hand in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it is hot.

1.There were _______ blind man who were trying to tell what an elephant was like in the story.

A．two

B．four

C．five

D．six

2.The man who touched the elephant’s ears must be very_______.

A．heavy

B．thin

C．tall

D．strong

3.The underlined word “it” in the last line of the paragraph refers to ___.

A．your left hand

B．your right hand

C．the water

D．the bowl

4.What makes people think about simple facts differently?

A．People’s wrong ideas.

B．People’s different experience.

C．Simple facts are different sometimes.

D．People often disagree with each other.

5.It can be inferred from the passage that we should__________.

A．learn from the blind men

B．not agree about simple facts

C．never think about simple facts

D．never decide anything with one side
