Arabs consider it extremely bad manners to start talking business immediately. Even the busiest government official always takes extra time to be polite and offer refreshments(茶点).No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this.

The conferrence (招待会式的) visit is a way of doing business throughout the Arab world. Frequently, you will have to discuss your business in the presence of strangers,who may or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people who come into the room unannounced, whisper,or speak softly to the person with whom you are talking, and leave. Act as though you do not hear,and never show displeasure at being interrupted.

Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is a vagueness(模棱两可) in doing business in the Middle East which will puzzle a newcomer.Give yourself lots of time and ask lots of questions.

When an Arab says yes, he may mean ―maybe‖. When he says maybe, he probably means ―no‖.Y ou will seldom det a direct ―no‖from an Arab because it is considered impolite.

Instead of ―no‖,he will say ―inshallan‖,which means, ―if God is willing.‖ On the other hand, ―yes‖does not necessarily mean ―yes‖.A smile and a slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact,your host(主人) is being polite.An Arab considers it impolite to disagree with a guest.

56.The main purpose of this article is to explain __________.

A.why you need extra time when you visit Arab countries

B.how to be polite when doing business in the Arab world

C.why Arab officials are so busy

A.Y ou leave angrily because of interruptions.

B.Y ou demand an immediate decision.

C.Y ou refuse a cup of tea and show pictures of your product right away.

A.when an Arab wants to say yes, he often says ―maybe‖

B.an Arabseldom disagrees with a guest to his face

Football is, I believe, the most popular game in England: one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting for their teams. One of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He will tell you who he thinks will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times of his age.

Most schools in England take football seriously（认真地）—much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all that are important and games are left for the children themselves. In England it is believed that educationis not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in the classroom; education also means the training of character by means of games, especially team games, where the boy or girl has to learn to work with others for his or her team instead of working for himself or herself alone. Therefore the school plans games and matches for its students. Football is a good team game. It is good both for the body and the mind. That is why it is every school’s game in England.

61. We can use instead of the underlined word“therefore”.

A. however

B. as a result

C. why

D. at that place

62.In England, a boy’s opinion of a match is often.

A. three or four times better than that of a man

B. worse than that of a man

C. as good as that of a man

D. worth thinking three or four times

63.In England, education means .

A. filling a boy’s mind with stories

B. more than the teaching of knowledge

C. the teaching of knowledge only

D. training character by means of football games

64.Football games are very popular in England among .

A. all the people

B. grown-ups

C. boys only

D. boys and girls

65.From the passage, we learn that .

A. schools in England make use of football games for the training of character

B. England is better than all the European countries

C. football is more important than lessons

D. only some schools in England have football game

I stood without moving, the door closed behind me, the walls hard and silent on both sides and him in front of me, looking into my face. His empty eyes grew a smile when he realized he would soon have all the money in my wallet. Looking downwards at his hands, I saw him take out a sharp, silvery object. Then in soft, low voice he said, ―Come over here.‖Although I felt a wetness collect on my forehead, a collapsing of feeling in my stomach like a balloon losing air and a shiver(颤抖) of fear in my legs, by now it was impossible to escape , so I fell into a chair beside him.

E

The Mississippi is a dreamy river whose relationship with man goes back beyond its discovery by the Spaniards in the 16th century. Indians used the river as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it its name –―misi‖, meaning ―great‖and ―sipi‖meaning ―water‖.

When the length of the great Missouri is added to it, the Mississippi becomes the third longest river in the world. From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta (三角洲), it is 2,480 miles long. Its head waters have been compared to a healthy, thick – branched tree, healthy because its main branches are possible to make voyage for most of their length.

The Indians went up and down the river in their canoes. The first streamer was launched in 1810. It had a single great paddle – wheel at the stern, and was known as a ―paddle – wheeler.‖Throughout the 19th century these unique ships were queens of the Mississippi. They have become part of American history and American literature. The noted writer, Mark Twain, wrote about the river in his greatest novel, Huckleberry Finn, and Oscar Hammerstein sang praise of it in his song, Old Man River, which was made popular all over the world by the great black American singer and actor, Paul Robeson.

六、书面表达（25分）

请参考下面一段材料，用英语写一篇短文，并陈述自己的观点。

最新统计资料表明，越来越多的农民进城务工，截止到2006年上半年，在中国农村远离父母的“留守儿童（children left behind）”已达两千五百万。

缺失父母关爱对农村“留守儿童”的成长极为不利，导致一系列问题的出现，如：他们情感孤寂、与人交流出现因难、学习成绩不理想。另外，很多儿童出现心理（psychological）问题，无法获得同龄儿童应该得到的技能且缺乏人身安全保障。

调查结论警示我们：必须高度关注两千五百万农村“留守儿童”。

Don’t Leave Kids Behind

According to the latest statistics, there are more than 25 million rural children throughout the country, who are left at home with relatives while their parents work in urban areas.

It is said that children who don’t say with their parents tend to develop unhealthy tendencies both in their behavior and personality. The lack of care from their parents will do great harm to the growth of the children: they often feel lonely or unhappy and have difficulty communicating with others; they usually perform badly in their studies and most of them have psychological problems; they cannot acquire the abilities they should obtain in their childhood and are easy to get hurt when in danger.

In my opinion, parental care is important to ensure a child’s healthy development, so something must be done to help the children left behind in rural areas.
