Babies
love chocolate and sometimes they also eat the
paper around
it. My cat enjoys a meal
of good, thick paper, old letters, for example.
She does not like newspapers very much
Of course, the best paper comes
from
wood. Wood comes from trees, and trees are plants.
Vegetables and
fruit are plants, too,
and we eat a lot of them. So can we also eat wood
and paper?
Scientists say,
that true?
Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their
meat.
Little fish eat little sea-
plants, then bigger fish swim
along
and eat the ……Chickens eat bits of grass and give
us……
Think for a minute. What food does
not come from plants in some way?
Scientists can do wonderful things with
plants. They can make food
just like
meat and cheese. And they can make it without the
help of
animals. It is very good food,
too. Now they have begun to say,
our
paper from wood. We can also make food from wood.
The next thing is
not very
difficult.
—
food from
paper. Scientists say,
paper
into food. It will be good, cheap food, too,
cheaper than meat
or fish or
eggs.
So please keep your old books and
letters. (Don't feed [
喂

your
cat.) One day, they will be on
your plate, if what scientists say may
come true.

In England recently three foreign
gentlemen came to a bus stop and
waited
. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted
came along. They
were just going to get
on when suddenly
there was a loud
noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and
tried to push them out of the way .
Someone shouted at them. The bus
conductor came rushing down the stairs
to see what all the trouble was
about.
The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked
embarrassed (
窘迫
的
. No
one had told them about the
British custom (
习惯
)of lining
up for a
bus that the first person who
arrives at the
bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .
Learning the language of a country
isn't enough. If you want to have
a
pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about
the manners and
customs of your host
country. You will probably be surprised just how
different they can be from your own. A
visitor to India would do well to
remember that people there consider it
impolite to use the left hand for
passing food at table. The left hand is
supposed to be used for washing
yourself. Also in India, you might see
a man shaking his head at another
to
show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of
India a shake of the
head means
agreement. Nodding (
点头
) your
head when you are given a
drink in
Bulgaria will most
probably leave you
thirsty .
In that country, you shake
your head to mean 'yes'
—
a
nod means
'no' . At a meal in countries
on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find
that your glass is repeated
refilled as
soon as you drink up . If you think that you have
had
enough , you should take the cup or
glasses in your hand and give it a
little shake from side to side or place
your hand over the top.
In Europe it
quite usual to cross your legs when you are
sitting
talking to someone even at an
important meeting. Doing this in Thailand,
however, could bring about trouble .
Also, you should try to avoid
(
避
免
)touching the
head of an adult (
成人
)
——
it's just not done in
Thailand .

C. Shaking and
Nodding Head

D. Taking a Bus in
England
答案及解析
:
1(D
。这是一道句子理解题，也可以看成细节题。在第一自然段的最后，有这
样的句
子
: No
one had told them about the British custom of
lining up for a
bus that the first
person
who arrives at a bus stop is
the first person to get on the bus(
从此
句可知那三位先生并不知道在
英国乘车的
习惯，所以答案是
D
。
2.
B
。这是一道细节题。答案在第二自然段的第二个句子。
<
/p>
3(B
。同第二题一样，此题也是细节题。可在第二自然段直接找
到答案。
4(A
。单句理解题。最
后一个自然段中有说
:In Europe it is quite usual
to
cross your legs When you are sitting
talking to someone even at an
important
meeting(
这个句子的意思是
:
在
欧洲，开会时翘二郎腿是很常见的。这说明许多人有这样的
习惯，所以答案应
该是
A
。
(B
。通读全文就会发现，只学习一门外语是
不够的，还要多了解该国的风俗习

The police do many things
for us. They help keep our things and us
safe. They help keep cars moving
safely. They take care of people who
are hurt. Then they see these people
get to a doctor.
The police go around
town to see that everything is all right. They
get around town in many ways. Some of
them walk or go by car. In some
big
cities
，
some of the police
ride on horses. It is
strange to see
these animals in the street.
As they
go around town
，
the police
help people. Sometimes they find
lost
children. They take the children home. If the
police see a fight
，
they put
an end to it right away. Sometimes people will
ask the police how to get to a place in
town. The police can always
tell the
people which way to go. They know all the streets
and roads
well.
Some police
stand at crossings. They tell the cars when to go
and
when to stop. They make sure that
the cars do not go too fast. They help
children cross the street. They also
help people who can't walk too well.
Without the

our streets would not

Have you
ever been ill? When you are
ill
，
you must be unhappy
because your body becomes
hot
，
and there are pains all
over your body.
You don't want to
work
，
you stay in
bed
，
feeling very
sad.
What makes us ill? It
is germs(
细菌
). Germs are
everywhere. They are
very small and you
can't find them with your
eyes
，
but you can see them
with a microscope. They are very small
and there could be hundreds of
them on
a very small thing.
Germs are always
found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water
under the
microscope
，
we
shall see them in it. So your father and mother
will not let you
drink dirty water.
Germs aren't found only in water. They
are found in air and dust. If
you cut
your finger
，
if
some of the dust from the
floor goes into the cut(
割开处
)
，
some of
the
germs would go into your finger. Your finger would
become big and
red
，
and you will
have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go
into all of your
body
，
and you would have pain
everywhere.
