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 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. No one had told them about the British custom 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 mannersand 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 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 touching the head of an adult ——it's just not done in Thailand .21. The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _________ .A. were foreignersB. didn't have ticketsC. made a loud noiseD. didn't line up for the bus22.

People's Everyday LifeB. Mind Your MannersC. Shaking and Nodding HeadD. Taking a Bus in EnglandBChina has recently been faced with serious issues of product safety. In Panama, it is said that medicine made with a poisonous chemical sickened some people. A Chinese company had identified it as diethylamide glycol （[化]乙二醇）, a low –cost substitute commonly used in automobile antifreeze（防冻剂）.Some countries have banned Chinese-made toothpaste(牙膏) containing diethylamide glycol. China has now told companies to discontinue its use, even though it says the toothpaste is safe. Another industrial chemical, melamine, was found in wheat flour used to make pet food in North America. Thousands of dogs and cats became sick.The United States has restricted some imports of Chinese seafood because they contained banned substance. And questions have been raised about other products, including children’s toys covered with lead paint.Chinese officials promised to provide the European Union, the biggest trading partner, with detailed reports on enforcement efforts against unsafe goods.Meglena Kuneva, commissioner (理事) for consumer protection of第3页共24页◎第4页共24页the European Union said China should have kept its promise.China recently closed three companies linked to the Panama and the pet food scare. And it dismissed the former head of its food and drug administration. He was found guilty of corruption (腐败) for approving unsafe drugs. This week, a conference of the State Council approved a proposed special measure on the supervision of food safety. The Xinhua News Agency said it calls for stronger controls over producers, greater responsibilities for government and more serious punishment for illegal activities.But Chinese officials have accused some foreign media of overstating （夸大）problems with goods made in China. They say food imports from the United States also fail inspection sometimes. Next Week, American and Chinese food safety officials are planning to hold 5 days of meetings in Beijing to discuss cooperation.26.

Anyone who's a doctor is right out of luck, I thought. Anyone who's studying medicine should have his head examined.You may think I want to change my job. Well, at the moment I do. As one of my friends says－even doctors have a few friends－it's all experience. Experience! I don't need such experience. I need a warm, comfortable, undisturbed bed all my own. I need it badly. I need all telephones to be thrown down the nearest well, that's what I need. All these thoughts fly round my head as I drive my Mini(微型汽车) through the foggy streets of East London at 3：45 a.m. on a December morning. I am a ministering angel in a Mini with a heavy coat and a bag of medicines. As I speed down Lea Bridge in the dark at this horrible morning hour, the heater first blowing hot then cold, my back aching from the car-seat, I do not feel like a ministering angel. I wish I were on the beach in southern France. Call me a bad doctor if you like. Call me what you will. But don't call me at half past three on a December morning for an ear-ache that you have had for two weeks.Of course, being a doctor isn't really all bad. We do have our moments. Once in a while people are ill, once in a while you can help, once in a while you get given a cup of tea and rock-hard cake at two o'clock in the morning－then you worry if you have done everything. But all too often 'everything' is a repetitious rule：look, listen, feel,tap, pills, injection, phone, ambulance, away to the next.And then there is always the cool, warm voice of the girl on the switchboard of the emergency bed service who will get your patient into hospital for you－the pleasant voice that comes to you as you stand in the cold, dark, smelly, dirty telephone box somewhere in a dangerous section of town. Oh, it has its moments, this life does. 31．According to the sentence "Anyone who's studying medicine should have his head examined," we know that ___________.A．a medical student should have a very good memoryB．a doctor must be mentally strong so that he can meet any difficult situationC．the writer thinks that those who want to be doctors are crazy D．to be a doctor is a challenge for people's mental health 32．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．The writer wishes he could have a quiet, undisturbed night in bed at home.B．One of his friends says that being a doctor helps one gain all sorts of experience.C．He hates the telephone as a modern means of communication.

A．is a bad doctor, unwilling to make a house call during the night-timeB．is so dissatisfied with his job that he wishes to find a new one C．is satisfied with his job but he hates to be called out unnecessarily D．thinks a doctor can enjoy certain special rights whether he felt lucky or not35．We can conclude that .A．the author is worried about his patient when he is driving through the foggy streets of East LondonB．the author is annoyed to be called out at such an horrible morning hour for an ear - ache patientC．the author is now heading for the beach in Southern France for his holidaysD．as the author speeds down Lea Bridge in the dark on a December morning, his Mini breaks down half wayDLots of people give you advice on overcoming (克服) fear. 71. _____ However, I want to tell you that a world without fear would be more dangerous, less rewarding. So we want to treat fear as a friend? Here are three reasons.72. _____ Think about it. Do you get more nervous when you meet the girl (or guy) of your dreams? Which is more fearful, talking to the boss of your company or to some of your friends? 73. _____ If you didn’t have fear to guide you, you might not know that! Not so bad, right?Next, fear encourages us to take action. Fear is a call to action. In the past, our ancestors (祖先) didn’t run away in fear when they saw a tiger running toward them but tried to kill it for food. Now, most of us don’t face serious danger like hungry tigers every day, but第7页共24页◎第8页共24页we do face serious bosses or public speaking. So, what can we do? 74. _____Lastly, fear lets you know you are alive. Why do we like roller coasters (过山车)? 75. _____ Same for horror movies.So fear can guide you towards what’s important for you and encourage you to take action to improve. Don’t we all need that kind of friend?A. Don’t fear to be wrong.B. It frightens us in a mostly safe way.C. Imagine what life would be like without fear.D.
