In England three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop. They studied the information on the post sign and decided which bus to take. About five minutes later the bus they wanted came along. They prepared to get on. Suddenly people rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted insulting remarks about the foreigners. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus-stop is the first person to get on the bus.
Learning the language of a country isn’t enough. If you want to ensure a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts. 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 apparently（顯然地）shaking his head at another and assume (認(rèn)為) that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a rotating (旋轉(zhuǎn)) movement of the head is a gesture that express agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to express “yes” — a nod means “no”.
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could cause offence (冒犯). It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand avoid touching the head of an adult — it’s just not done.
Attitudes to women vary considerably（相當(dāng)?shù)兀゛round the world. In Japan, for example, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home.
Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are travelling, but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality (禮節(jié)).
The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed because __________________.
A. they didn’t know the English language B. someone called their names
C. they didn’t know the custom of lining up for a bus
D. they knocked someone down while getting on the bus
According to the passage, which attitude to women is usual in Japan?
A. Men always go to parties with women.
B. Men plan evening entertainments for their wives.
C. Men and women have equal rights to go to parties.
D. Men plan evening entertainments for themselves, while their wives stay home.
What’s the meaning of the underlined word “insulting” in Para. 1 ?
A. 善意的 B. 咨詢的 C. 商量的 D. 無禮的

Dear Sir,
I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport． Two buses travel along their route (路線): the number 49 and number 16． But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can’t get on it． I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it．
The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes． If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
The regulations say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting． Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers． Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport． I counted the other passengers as they got off． There were 129 of them．
It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers． Can nothing be done to make your service better?
Yours
Tired passenger

When Mrs．Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna，Austria，people asked the obvious question,“Why did she live to be 107?” .Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100．Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities．In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place，city living often provides benefits that country living can lack．One factor seems to be important to the longevity(長壽)of those interviewed．
This factor is exercise．In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus．Even taking public transportation often requires some walking．Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(電梯)，and so people must climb stairs．City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find，there is often no alternative to walking．
On the other hand，those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day．In fact，the opposite is often true．To go to school，work，or almost anywhere else，they must ride in cars．
1.The Vienna survey may help to explain _____
|
A．the complaints of people in apartment houses |
|
B．the cause of Mrs Groeger’s death |
|
C．the longevity of people like Mrs．Groeger |
|
D．the image of cities in general |
2.The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some _____
|
A．benefits of walking |
|
B．occasions for walking in city life |
|
C．comments made by city people |
|
D．problems of city living |
3.To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful __
|
A．to take the elevator |
|
B．to walk up the stairs |
|
C．to ride in a car |
|
D．to find an alternative to walking |
4.People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because __
|
A．they don’t live near business areas |
|
B．they don’t need the exercise |
|
C．they never have parking problems |
|
D．they can’t afford to take the bus |
5.A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that__________
|
A．a(chǎn)ir pollution is not serious |
|
B．a(chǎn)nyone can live to be 107 |
|
C．country people should move to the city |
|
