  Entering a university is an important part of a person's life.Today,many people go to study and train for future jobs in subjects like law(法律),medicine or education.But the university is not a modern invention.It has a history that is over a thousand years.

  The world's oldest university,AL-Azhar,is in Cairo,Egypt.It was first built as a mosque for religion(宗教寺院)in A.D.972.A few years later,learners and teachers began meeting in the mosque.They read and talked about the subject of law.Around 988,leaders in the city of Cairo decided to open up a school for higher learning and the University of AL-Azhar was founded.

  At AL-Azhar,there were many university“firsts”.Different subjects were set up.The earliest ones taught at AL-Azhar were law and religion.In a course, students read and studied with the teacher,but there was also free discussion.Of-ten,students and teachers talked about a topic(题目),and there was no“right”answer.Finally,famous teachers from around the world came to AL-Azhar to teach and do deep studies on the subjects they were interested in.At the university,people studied the past,but it was also a place for exchanging new ideas.

  Over a thousand years later,AL-Azhar is still an important university in the world.Its library keeps more than 250 000 of the world's oldest and most valuable (有价值的)books.Today,many of the world's most important universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the traditions started at AL-Azhar.

  The question whether there is life on Mars has made the public think a lot for more than a century.The closest look showed Mars to be a dusty, cold world, covered by air too thin to breathe.A British spaceship and Europe's Mars spaceship plan to land on Mars or enter the orbit around it.One of the NASA's(美国宇航局)spaceships is expected to land on January 3rd, the other is going to land on the opposite side of Mars on January 24th.

  Since 1960, over twenty spaceships sent to Mars have failed.Most have been lost on flying up or landing because those are the most difficult times of any flights.

  Different countries and different people have different manners(礼貌).We must find out their customs(风俗)so that they will not think us ill-mannered.Here are examples of the things that a person with good education does or does not do.

  If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first.When the door opens, you will not move before the host(男主人)says,“Come in, please.”After you enter the room, you will not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat.When a cup of tea is put on a tea-table before you or sent to your hands, you will say“Thank you”and receive it with both hands, not one hand, or they will think you are ill-mannered.Before entering a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes.In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done.In a Malay house, a visitor never finishes the food on the table.He leaves a little to show that he has had enough.In England, a visitor always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it.This will make the host enjoy.

1.Does the writer think it is necessary to know different customs in different countries?

________________________________

2.When can you enter the room if you visit a friend in China?

________________________________

3.In which country do you have to take off your shoes when you enter your host's house?

________________________________

4.Why does a visitor always finish the food at dinner in his friend's home in England?
