The English are famous for their manners. The phrase, “Manners maketh the man” was coined by Englishman William of Wykeham back in 1324, but they’re just as important today. Books are written on the subject, advice columns in magazines tell people how to behave, and “finishing schools” still exist to ensure that young girls become young “l(fā)adies”.

   The best example of English manners is in their mastery of the art of forming a queue. It is a popular joke in England (the land of sporting failures) to say, “if only queuing was an Olympic sport, we’d win hands down” No one knows exactly how and when it started, but queuing plays an important role in the English social make-up. School children are taught to queue for roll-call, assembly and lunch, and English people across the land form orderly queues at shops, banks, cinemas and bus-stops every day. The English obviously aren’t the only people who queue, but they seem to do it better than anyone else. As one visitor said, “I have travelled across Europe, the Middle and Far East and nowhere have I seen the single-file queues which are formed in England.”

   The English are also famously polite when it comes to language. Whereas many other notions are more direct in their communication, the English prefer a more indirect form of asking for things. For example, an American who wants to talk to a colleague might say, “Got a minute?”; however an English person will often use a more indirect means might of requesting the chat, “Sorry to bother you, but would you possibly have a minute or so to have a quick chat if you don’t mind, please?”

   The English also love to apologize for things. When squeezing past someone, people say “sorry”. And they will apologize if you bump into them, “whoops! Sorry! My fault.” In fact, no one seems to say “sorry” as much as the English: “sorry I’m late. /Sorry I forgot to call you last night./I’m sorry you didn’t get the e-mail.” And so on. They also like to use “please” and “thank you” a lot. In a shop, they will say, “I’d like a packet of crisp, please. Thanks.” British students thank their lectures, and bosses often thank their employees for doing their jobs.

Why does “finishing schools” still exist to help young girls become “l(fā)adies”?

   A. Because the English mind their manners very much.

   B. Because the English parents want to marry their daughters to the royal family.

   C. Because the English girls are so rude that they need to be taught to be polite.

   D. Because the English government ensures their existence.

The underlined sentence in paragraph2 implies ________________.

   A. The English love the Olympics very much.

   B. The English spend nothing winning an Olympic medal.

   C. The English are best at queuing.

   D. The English prefer to queue with their hands down.

According to the passage, if Americans say “Waiter! Could I have another fork, please?” how will the English express such a meaning?

    A. Excuse me! Give me another fork, please!

    B. Excuse me! I have to be a bother, but would you mind awfully changing this fork, please?

    C. Hi! Would you mind giving me another fork?

    D. Waiter! Come here and change the fork!

According to the passage, why do the employers often thank their employees for doing their jobs?

    A. The employees can bring them a lot of benefits.

    B. The employees finish their jobs perfectly.

    C. The English employers’ good manners lead them to do so.

    D. The employers do it as a result of the company’s regulation.

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, winter skating or skiing in winter. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering(爬山).

Those who have a passion(熱情)for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different thing that it would be dangerous to ignore(忽視),but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no“matches”between“teams”of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than men. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities

A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of efforts and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

Mountaineering involves       .

A.cold B.hardship C.physical risk    D.all of the above

The difference between a sport and a game has something to do with the kind of        .

A. activity B. rules    C. uniform  D. participants

Mountaineering can be called a team sport because       .

A.it is an Olympic event

B.teams compete against each other

C.mountaineers depend on each other while climbing

D.there are 5 climbers on each team.

Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football k

B.Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other Sports

C.Mountaineering

D.Mountain Climbers

Everyone knows the smart black-and-white dog that sits on top of a red doghouse with his best friend---a bird called Woodstock.

Created by the American cartoonist Charles Schulz in 1950, the clever dog is loved by generations of kids and adults. He speaks more than 20 languages and appears daily in 26,000 newspapers around the world.

When Snoopy first appeared, he was not different form other pet dogs. But two years later, he had begun to speak with simple words and sounds. By 1957 he could walk on two legs and was going to school with his master, Charlie Brown, who failed in just about everything. Later he learned to use the typewriter.

Snoopy has done lots of jobs. He has been a bow-tie wearing lawyer, a tennis player, an Olympic figure skater, a world famous grocery checkout clerk, a pilot and even the first astronaut on the moon.

However, Snoopy has always dreamed of being a famous writer. The beginning of his story is always, “It was a dark and stormy night…” Unfortunately for him no one has ever wanted to publish the story.

In love, Snoopy is as much of a failure as Charlie Brown is at baseball. He easily falls in love but always has his heart broken. He eats to forget, but it never works.

Snoopy is an insightful, feel-good and sometimes sad dog. If you think a little about words, you might find them full of life lessons. Among his most famous lines are “To live is to dance, to dance is to live.” And “Yesterday I was a dog. Today I’m a dog. Tomorrow I’ll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There’s so little hope for advancement”.

 

1. Snoopy has done all the following jobs except ____________.

A. a lawyer        B. a player      C. a clerk      D. a writer

2. From the passage, we can learn that _________.

A. Snoopy is always a sad dog           B. Snoopy can not speak in the beginning

C. Snoopy often dreams of true love      D. Snoopy is a real smart pet dog

3. It can be inferred that Snoopy ____________.

A. has many bird friends and relatives     B. is a well-known writer and clerk

C. has been unfortunate since it was born   D. is very popular in the whole world

4.The word “advancement” in the last paragraph probably means__________.

A. success      B. progress      C. growth      D. popularity
