China is known as a state of manners and ceremony (礼节). Many proverbs have been passed down from generation to generation eg. “Polite behavior costs nothing” or “Showing respect demands reciprocity (相互)” and so on. For instance, there is an interesting short story. Once upon a time, a man went on a long tour to visit his friend with a swan as a gift. But it escaped from the cage on the way. Though he tried hard, he got hold of nothing but a feather (羽毛). Instead of returning home, he continued his journey with the swan feather. When his friend received this unexpected gift, he was deeply moved. And the saying “The gift is nothing much, but it’s the thought that counts” was spread far and wide.

Chinese used to cup one hand in the other before the chest as a greeting. This tradition has a history of more than 2, 000 years and nowadays it is seldom used except in the Spring Festival. And shaking hands is more popular on some formal occasions. Bowing, as to show respect to the higher level, is often used by the lower like subordinates (下级), students, and attendants. But at present Chinese youngsters prefer to simply nod as a greeting. To some degree this development shows the ever-increasing paces of modern life.

It is common social practice to introduce the junior to the senior, or the familiar to the unfamiliar. When you start a talk with a stranger, the topics such as weather, food, or hobbies may be good choices to break the ice. For a man, a chat about current affairs, sports, stock market or his job can usually go on smoothly. Similar to Western customs, you should be careful to ask a woman private questions. However, relaxing talks about her job or family life will never put you into danger. She is usually glad to offer you some advice on how to cook Chinese food or get used to local life. Things will be quite different when you’ve gotten to know them. Though Chinese are said to be implicit (含蓄的), they are actually humorous enough to be pleased about the jokes of Americans.

1.The author tells the story in the first paragraph in order to ______.

A. make fun of the stupid person

B. explain the meaning of a Chinese saying

C. show Chinese like valuable gifts very much

D. show Chinese value polite behavior greatly

2. In Paragraph 2, the author mainly wants to introduce ______.

A. the Chinese body language

B. the traditional Chinese manners

C. the development of Chinese manners

Here are some traditional German beer games.

Beer Boot Pass

A very, very popular game played in Germany is the beer boot pass ( Bier Boot ), which has gained popularity all over the world. The game is usually played to pin the next round of beer on a person. In this, a full glass of beer is passed around in the group—there are some rules for this—it has to be tipped every time before it is passed and not a drop of beer must be spilled. The second-to-last person who finishes the beer must pay for the next round. The game then becomes all about judgment because either you drink the entire beer or have a sip and pass it on. You never know who the second to last person will be , so the uncertainty and excitement makes the game a favorite.

Beer Crate-Running

This is a traditional game that is extremely popular in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, more popularly referred to as Kastenlauf. The game is similar to running a race, where a route is marked, ranging from anywhere between 5-12 km. Each participant brings a crate of beer ( the size and quantity will be specified ). The first person who successfully finishes the entire crate of beer before getting to the finish line wins.

Flunkyball

This outdoor game is played with one team being matched against another, with equal numbers in both. The teams stand on opposite sides of the ground in a line, with their beers lined before them. An empty bottle or a tin can is placed in the center and another object ( used as an aim ) is brought in, something like a tennis ball. The first team ( A ) hits the ball onto the target to tumble（打翻）it. Once the bottle has tumbled, team A will start drinking their beers. Meanwhile, team B must run to the center, place the bottle upright, find the ball, and cross back into the line before yelling‘Stop’ . Team A then stops drinking and team B starts to throw the ball at the bottle and carrying forward the game. The game continues till one team has finished all their beer and they are declared winners .

Drinking Relay

Divide the group of people into two teams and get them to stand in a line with beer placed in front of each member . At the blow of the whistle, the first person lifts the glass and starts drinking the beer. After he is done, he has to turn the glass over to show that there is no more beer in the glass. Then , the next person starts drinking and so on. The next in line can only drink when the first person has emptied his glass. The team whose last member empties the glass ahead of others wins.

Herman the German

Even though this game seems simple, it is a lot of fun. It runs on the lines of ‘Who stole the cookie’. A person is chosen as‘Herman the German’ ( HTG ) and he has to get the game running. The other members sit in a random manner and are given names, better if they are confusing names like China Port No.1, Rum Master Blaster etc. The game starts with HTG saying – “HTG dropped a missile on China Port No.1, sir ” and China Port No. 1 has to reply with – “It wasn’t me, sir.” Then HTG replies – “Who then, sir” and it goes on. The sentence has to end with ‘sir’ and if it doesn’t, then the player has to down a beer. Similarly, if at any point the players fumble, they have to do the same. The tension makes the players forget things and there’s a whole lot of beer flowing as a result.

1.Which two games have something to do with running ?

A. Beer Boot Pass and Beer Crate-Running

B. Flunkyball and Drinking Relay

C. Beer Crate-Running and Flunkyball

D. Drinking Relay and Herman the German

2.The loser will have to buy beers for others in the game __________ .

D. The team members have to drink their beers in turn when playing Drinking Relay.

Back in 2003 an 86-year-old man drove his Buick through a crowded farmers’ market. Nine people were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stopped, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. Apparently, he was just old and confused.

This is a frightening accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools, houses, storefronts, or worse.

In our teenage years, we all heard “driving is not a right; it’s a privilege.” That is still true, and there comes an age when driving is no longer a privilege that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight and dementia(痴呆) are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly, these age-related problems affect some older adults’ driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty-five and ninety years old, his or her driving privilege should be examined.

Licensing laws vary greatly from state to state, and it’s time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving. The motivation for this law is safety. Another option is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as safe as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow elderly drivers to continue driving could be new technology like a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldn’t some prescription drugs also be included? The average age of 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one prescription drug daily.

The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two-ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age is not only challenging for the elderly drivers, but also it’s dangerous for the rest of us.

1.The first paragraph is written in order to show_________.

A. the harm of driving at an old age

B. the importance of traffic safety

C. traffic accidents are on the rise

D. many elderly drivers are careless

2.The author suggests that there should be new laws against driving __________.

A. over eighty-five

B. between sunset and dawn

C. with the help of voice warning systems

D. under the influence of prescription drugs

3.The underlined word “unsettling” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.

A. disappointing B. worrying

C. touching D. interesting

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. How to keep old people safe on the road?

B. Are drivers well protected by licensing laws?

C. Should there be an age limit for elderly drivers?

D. Is driving a right or a privilege for an old person?

The plants grown by Wageningen University researchers in Mars-like soil back in March have been analyzed and the results are excellent: at least four of the crops do not contain harmful heavy metal levels and are perfectly safe to eat, the University researchers report.

If you’ve seen The Martian, you can remember how much Matt Damon got done living off of his poo-powered crop of potatoes. It just goes to show how important it is for a long-term colony to be able to grow their own food locally. We’ve taken one step closer to that goal in March, when Netherlands’ Wageningen University reported that they’ve managed to grow ten different crops in Mars-like soil.

However, growing food doesn’t do us much good if eating it kills us, and researchers were worried that these crops contained dangerous heavy metals like lead or cadmium(镉) from the martian soil. But future colonists are delighted, as lab analysis of the crops determined that at least four of them are safe to eat.

Led by ecologist Wieger Wamelink, the team tested radishes, tomatoes, rye, and peas. They looked at cadmium, lead, aluminium(铝), nickel(镍), copper, chrome(铬), iron, arsenic(砷), manganese(锰), and zinc(锌) contents in the plants, and didn’t find any in dangerous levels. In fact, some of these vegetables have lower levels of heavy metals than those grown in regular potting soil. The plants were also tested for vitamins, alkaloids(生物碱), and flavonoids(类黄酮), with good results. While there are six more crops to test, Wamelink himself said that the results up to now are “very promising.”

“Growing food locally is especially important to our mission of permanent settlement, as we have to ensure sustainable food production on Mars. The results of Dr. Wamelink and his team at Wageningen University & Research are significant progress towards that goal,” said Mars One co-founder and CEO Bas Lansdorp in a press release.

A crowdfunding campaign is underway (and will be until the end of August) to fund the test of the remaining crops, potatoes included. If all the crops test out safe, with concentrations of heavy metal the FDA and the Dutch Food Agency consider as safe, Wamelink’s team will host a “Martian dinner” at the Wageningen greenhouse.

But I’ve seen the movie. Stay clear of the potatoes.

1.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Four crops grown in martian soil have been tested safe to eat, with no heavy metals in.

B. The ability to grow food locally can ensure the permanent stay on Mars.

C. The team temporarily lack money to test the remaining six crops.

D. A “Martian dinner” will be hosted after all the remaining crops have been tested.

2.What is Bas Lansdorp’s attitude towards the research results?

A. Neutral.B. Indifferent.C. Unfavorable.D. Praiseful.

3.The author writes the passage in order to _________.

A. prove that it is practical to grow crops on Mars in the future

B. show crops grown in martian soil are safe for people to eat

C. point out the importance of growing food locally for long-term settlement

D. report the recent research findings of the possibility of growing food on Mars

A middle-aged man with a long beard was caught by the police for bad behavior and property damage. The man, Bill Wild, checked into a hotel last night, telling the clerk he would pay cash in advance and would be staying for four nights. He then asked her where the nearest store was and she told him it was John-Johns.

Wild went to the store and bought three gallons of honey and four gallons of chocolate syrup (糖浆). The cashier asked him why he wanted these things and he replied, "I’m trying to become a sweeter person." The cashier smiled at the joke. Wild drove back to the hotel. He opened all bottles and poured them into the bathtub (浴缸). He added warm water to the mix. He tuned the radio to an opera music station, took off his clothes, jumped into the tub, and started singing loudly with the music.

Fifteen minutes later, the neighbor phoned the clerk complaining about the noise. The clerk knocked on Wild’s door, but he just kept singing. She phoned his room, but he didn’t answer. Then she called the police, who arrived quickly. They broke into the room. The floor was covered in water and the bathtub was full of chocolate and honey. "He seemed so nice and friendly. Who’d have thought he was a bathtub-singing nut?" said the clerk. The police said this was the third time that Wild had been arrested for this kind of behavior.
