A lady named Mary from California flew to Japan, in her favourite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at the airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Mary took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.

When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Mary to tea in the lobby (大厅). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, it's beautiful！”

At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately. Poor Mary was left astonished. What did she do wrong?

Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if you're coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients (客人) casually dressed. The second mistake was Mary's handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Mary put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each other's cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safe keeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.

Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Mary should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is worse, Mary hadn't even given them a gift!

1.Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Mary suddenly?

A. Because they had finished the task.

B. Because Mary had something more important to do.

C. Because they couldn't bear Mary 's behavior any longer.

D. Because Mary felt embarrassed.

2.What does the underlined word “gaffe” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. ignorance B. carelessness

C. sadness D. mistake

3.The third mistake Mary made was that she ________.

A. kept her clients' cards in a wrong place

B. took her clients' cards with one hand

C. met her clients in jeans

D. used her own card as a conversation starter

4.What lesson can we draw from this story?

A. Think twice before you take any action.

B. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

C. To save time is to lengthen life.

D. One false move may lose the game.

Sharks have been swimming in the ocean for millions of years. They were on Earth even before dinosaurs! At the top of the world’s ocean’s food chain, sharks help keep the population of other ocean animals in balance. A large drop in the number of sharks can cause serious problems for all ocean animals. Saving sharks makes sense!

Many people are afraid of sharks. But most sharks are harmless. Only a small percentage of sharks are known to attack humans. It adapt(适应) well to new habitats and eat whatever is available. However, today, sharks are in trouble. Nearly one-third of the 400 shark species are in danger of extinction, largely due to over-fishing. Each year, tens of millions of sharks are caught and killed just for their fins(鳍). The fins are used to make shark fin soup.

Humane Society International (HSI) joined with the Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots and Shoots program and Beijing Zoo to protect sharks. An exhibit at the zoo, “the Price Behind the Taste-----Protect Sharks. Don’t Eat Shark Fins”, was designed to tell people that shark finning is cruel and unnecessary. It’s hoped that the activity will help put an end to the practice.

Shark fin soup is also eaten in the United States. In fact, the numbers of some shark species in US waters have dropped 90 percent in the last 30 years. To slow the fall, laws against the sale of shark fins have been passed in several states, including Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, and California.

1.What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?

A. Ocean animals are at the top of the food chain.

B. Sharks play an important role in the ocean

C. Sharks are an old species in the ocean.

D. Sharks are being caught and killed.

2.According to paragraph 2, sharks are in trouble because ______.

A. they often attack humans.

D. their habitat is being destroyed.

3.The underlined part “the practice” in Paragraph 3 refers to _______.

A. shark finning B. shark protection

C. the program of HIS D. the exhibit at Beijing Zoo

4.What do we know from the text?

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.

Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.

There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.

There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steer them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

1.According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?

A．Those who often take exercise.

B．Those who often watch television.

C．Those who often have meals at home.

D．Those who often walk to school.

2.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because ．

A．their parents often cook meals for them

B．they are too busy to go out and play

C．they can' t choose what to eat

D．there are too many fast food shops around

3.The word "steer" underlined in the last sentence most probably means .

A．force B．guide

C．expect D．observe

4.The main purpose of the text is to .

A．tell a story B．provide facts

C．give advice D．compare opinions

 

No one doubts that students should study languages, maths and science in high school, but some may be against the idea that they should study art and music as well. To them, these subjects are useless for students' future and are not worth the time and effort. In my opinion, however, it is necessary for middle school students to study art and music.

　　Art and music are a valuable culture legacy（遗产）, which bring us pleasure and enjoyment. Have you ever been deeply moved by Beethoven's famous Fifth Symphony? Have you ever been shocked by the colorful starry night produced by Vincent van Gogh in his paint? Have you ever longed for the moving love between the Butterfly Lovers when you hear this well-known Chinese melody（曲调）? Art and music are not only images and sounds, but something beyond them. They are the products of passion and human wisdom.

　　Art and music help make students more creative. Artists and musicians are considered the most creative people in the world. It is because art and music sharpen their senses and provide a different perspective (视角)for them to see the world. Many great scientists benefited from art and music. Einstein, the greatest physicist in the 20th century, as well as an excellent violin player, is a good example.

　　Enjoying art and music is also a good way to relax ourselves. Middle school students, who typically carry heavy burdens of study, will definitely benefit from it.

　　In a word, art and music should absolutely be included in the middle school courses, for they can bring students pleasure,creativity and relaxation.

A. don't realize the value of art and music

C. art and music are valuable pictures and sounds

D. art and music bring people joy and relaxation

3.The example of Einstein is used to_______.

A. show the importance of creativity

B. prove that scientists are creative
