Everyone likes a perso n w ith good manners but no one likes a person with bad manners. "Y es", you may say , " but what are good manners? How do I know what to do and what not to do?"People all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means being kind and helping others, especially to those older or weaker than ourselves. If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong.Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do.He never laughs at people when they are in trouble.Instead, he tries to help them. He is always kind, n ever cruel, either to people or to animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he takes his turn.He does not push to the front of the queue. In the bus, he gives his seat to an old person or a lady who is standing. If he accidentally bumps into someone, or gets in their way, he says, "excuse me" or "I'm sorry".He says "please" when making a request, and "thank you" when he receives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he does not sit down until the other person is seated. He does not interrupt other people when they are talking. He does not talk too much himself. He does not talk loudly or laugh loudly in public. When eating, he does not speak with his mouth f ull of food.

Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated becaus e more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countrie s like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.11.

Which of the following is not mentioned about the invention of paper? ___A_____A. More jobs could be provided than before.13. When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely? ____A____A.

To write the number sixty-three people wrote 63.To write six hundred and three, people wrote 6 3.The space between six and three was there to mean." not any " tens. Sometimes people did not remember the space. It was hard to s ee and read.Later people used a dot to hold the space. Six hundred and three looked like this 6.3.But the dot was hard to see. So people put a circle around it like this 6⊙3.Then people could see the dot. They remembered the space. At last, only the circle around the dot was used. It was like a zero. This is one story of how the zero came to be used.Now zero has many important uses. Zero tells how many. Can you tell some other ways of using zero?16. Long, long ago people didn't know how to ___B___.B. write zero17. Long, long ago if they wrote two hundred-eight, people wrote __B____.B. 2 818. Later __D____ was used to mean space.D. a dot19.

The story tells us ___A___.A. how zero came to be usedB部分Passage 1As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself” (DIY) trend in the U.S. continue to grow.“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making afew tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books tell you how you can do thing yourself.6. We can learn from the text that many newly married people__A__.A. find it hard to pay for what they need7. John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to __B__.B. make or repair things8. When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at hom, he means Jim__D__.D. keeps house and looks after his children9. Jim Hatfield decided to become a do-it-yourselfer when__A__.A. his car repairs cost too much10. What would be the best title for the text? BB. You can Do It Too!Passage 2Tom is a little boy, and he is only seven years old. One day he went to the cinema. It is the first time for him to do that. He bought a ticket and then went in. But after two or three minutes he came out, bought a second ticket and went in again. After a few minutes he came out again and bought a third ticket. Two or three minutes later he came out and asked for an other ticket. Then the girl in the ticket office asked him, "Why do you buy so many tickets? How many friends do you meet?" Tom answered," No, I have no friend here. But a big boy alway s stops me at the door and tears（撕）my ticket to pieces."11. Tom wanted to buy ___C___ when the girl asked him.C. the fourth ticket12. The big boy stopped Tom at the door because ___A___.A. it was the big boy's job13. The big boy was __D____ at the cinema.D. a worker14. From the story we know ___B___.B. the little boy knew nothing about the cinema15. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage? CC. Tom was too young to make friends.Passage 3In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invit ation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the w orld, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from dif ferent cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for ex ample. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.16. What is the main idea of this passage? ____B____B. The role of time in social life over the world.17. What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? ___B____B. A matter of life or death.18. Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend? BB. at 4:00 pm.19. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ____D____D. Promptness is valued highly in American life.20. From the passage we can safely infer that ____B___.B. the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC部分Passage 1Jim was intelligent, but he hated hard work. He said, “You work hard, and make a lot of money, and then the government takes most of it. I want easy work that gives me lot s of money and that the government doesn’t know about.”So he became a thief----but he did not do the stealing. He got others to do it. They were much less intelligent than he was, so he arranged everything and told them what to do.One day, they were looking for rich families to rob, and Jim sent one of them to a large beautiful house just outside the town.It was evening, and when the man looked through one of the windows, he was a young man and a girl playing on a piano.When he went back to Jim, he said, “That family can’t have much money.

It can be concluded from the story that__C__.C. the thief sent to the beautiful house was foolish enoughPassage2In 1638, John Harvard donated some money and about four hundred books to a new university. This was the beginning of the library at Harvard University. The gift was so important that the university was named for John Harvard.Thomas Bray began the first free lending library in the late 1600s. he set up more than 30 of these libraries in the American colonies. However, the idea for this kind of free library ended when Bray died in 1730. In 1731, Benjamin Franklin and some friends star ted the first subscription library in the United States. In a subscription library people pay money to become members, but they may borrow the books without paying again.In the United States, every child had a free education.

They want to see Antonio Gaude's church. This unusual church has a strange history. Gaude was born in Spain in 1852. He had to work and study at the same time.

They were all very unusual. He was soon rich and famous. Then a rich bookseller said, "Will you build a church for the poor people of Barcelona? Iwill pay. I will build schools and workshops, too. They will help the people." "I will do it," said Gaudi. He worked for forty years, but he could not finish the church. It was too big. He needed $10,000,000. He gave all his money to the church. He was poor again when he died in 1926, and only the front of the church was finished. But architects, engineers and tourists from all over the world come to see it.
