A businessman lost his wallet. There was much money in it. So he makes a promise(諾言), “If someone finds my wallet and returns it to me, I'll give half the money to him.” A dustman(清潔工) found the wallet in a dustbin(垃圾箱). He sent it back to the loser. But the businessman changed his mind.

“There was still a diamond ring(鉆戒) in my wallet,” said the loser. “I won't give half the money in my wallet to you before you return it to me!”

“I've never seen a diamond ring in the wallet,” said the dustman.

They began to quarrel. The businessman didn’t do what he had said. The dustman became angry and took him before a judge (法官).

After the judge heard what had happened to them, he said to the businessman, “I'm sure you are an honest man. It's true that you have lost a wallet in which there was a diamond ring. But it's also clear that there is only a lot of money in this wallet. I don't think it's yours. Wait for some time. Perhaps someone will be able to return your wallet to you!”

Then the judge turned to the dustman and said, “Take the wallet home. If the loser doesn't go to get it back in three days, it will belong to you!”

Dear Nancy,

You asked about places to go and things to do in my town. Let me tell you now.

Downtown Plaza is a lot of fun. It’s a shopping area in the oldest part of town. There are some good stores and restaurants there. For example, Andrea’s Boutique is in Downtown Plaza. It’s a fun place to shop, and it has the best clothes.

My favorite restaurant in town is Nick’s Cafe. It is near my house. It’s cheap and its hamburgers are great. I like Dragon City Restaurant, too. You can eat wonderful noodles there and the beef noodles are the most delicious! You must try the dumplings, too! But the dumplings are more expensive than Nick’s.

Suburb Cinema is the best movie theatre. It has the biggest screen and the most comfortable seats. Del Ray Complex is a good place to go, too. It doesn’t have the newest movies, but the tickets are cheaper.

Anyway, there are lots of things to do and to see here. Come for a visit soon!

Kate

科目：初中英語 來源：2016屆浙江諸暨市五校九年級上學(xué)期期中英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Social customs and ways of behaving change．Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable．Just a few years ago，it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on street．No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room．

Customs also differ from country to country．Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn’t it matter? What about table manners? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one in your lap，or on the table?

The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs．For example，in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time．Also Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman，and so will most Americans. While waiting in line, Englishmen will never push their way to the front. Neither do Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America．That is，if a dinner invitation is for 7 o’clock，the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay．

The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable——especially if they are your guests．There is an old story about a man who gave a formal dinner party. When the food was served，one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife．The other guests were amused or shocked，but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way．It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable．

1.According to Paragraph1,____________________________.

A. Customs differ from country to country.

B. Some customs considered impolite in the past are accepted by people now.

C. Gentlemen like to smoke in front of women.

D. Smoking on streets were considered polite behaviors in the past.

2. If one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he can’t arrive on time?

A. He should find an excuse.

B. He should ask for excuse.

C. He should say “sorry”.

D. He should telephone to explain his being late.

3.The Americans and the British also share a large number of social customs except(除了)___________.

A. shaking hands when meeting for the first time

B. offering their seat to a woman

C. waiting in line

D. being late for dinner

4.According to the passage, the best host______________.

A. tries his best to make his guests feel comfortable

B. makes his guests feel excited

C. tries to avoid being foolish to his guests

D. tries to behave the same as the guests

科目：初中英語 來源：2016屆江蘇揚州市九年級上學(xué)期12月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

It was my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven’t lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It’s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom（習(xí)慣）for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk（冒險）it.

No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all the curiosity my arrival aroused（喚醒）.

My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn’t stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn’t make me very popular, of course.

“He thinks he’s clever,” I heard Brian say.

After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian’s team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.

“He’s big enough and useless enough,” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.

I suppose Mr. Jones remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty（罰球）. As the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right, I threw myself down instinctively（本能地）and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were grazed（擦傷）and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.

“Do you want to join my team?” he said.

At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.

1.The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT “_________”.

A. How old are you?

B. Where are you from?

C. Do you want to join my team?

D. When did you come back to London?

2.We can learn from the passage that _________.

A. boys were usually unfriendly to new students

B. the writer was not greeted as he expected

C. Brian praised the writer for his cleverness

D. the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper

3.The underlined part “I didn’t stand out” in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not _______.

A. noticeable（值得注意的） B. welcome

C. important D. popular

4.What can we infer from the fact that the writer was offered a handkerchief?

A. He threw himself down and saved the goal.

B. He pushed a player on the other team.

C. He was beginning to be accepted.

D. He was no longer a new comer.
