China is known as a country of etiquette (礼节) and ceremonies. Here is an interesting story that shows this. Once upon a time, a man   36   on a long trip to visit his friend and took a swan as a gift. But the swan   37   from its cage on the way and when he tried to   38    it, he got hold of nothing but a   39  . Instead of returning home, he continued his    40   taking the swan feather with him. When his friend received this   41   gift, he was deeply moved. And the   42   ‘The gift is nothing much, but it’s the thought that counts.’ was   43   far and wide.
Chinese used to   44   one hand in the other in front of the chest as a salute. This    45   has a history of more than 2,000 years but nowadays it is   46   used except on the Spring Festival. And shaking hands is more popular and   47   on formal occasions. Bowing was often used by people in a   48   position such as subordinates(下属), students, and attendants.   49   at present Chinese youngsters tend to simply nod as a greeting.
It is common social practice to   50   the junior to the senior, or the familiar to the unfamiliar. When you start a talk   51   a stranger, topics such as weather, food, or    52   are a good choice to break the ice. With a   53  , a chat about current affairs, sports, the stock market or his job usually goes   54  . Similar to Western customs, you should be   55  in asking a woman private questions. However, talking about her job or family life will never put you into danger.

Have you thanked your grandma today? You might want to consider it. A recent study found that kids live longer when a grandmother takes part in their daily lives.
Most animals die soon after their childbearing years are over. Women, however, often live for many years after they stop having kids.
　To try to understand why, researchers from Finland looked at birth and death records of two communities from the 18th and 19th centuries, one in Finland and one in Canada. In these communities, 537 Finnish women and 3,290 Canadian women were grandmothers who had lived past the age of 50.
For every decade they lived beyond 50, the researchers found that the women ended up with an average of two extra grandkids. It didn’t matter what the differences in health or living conditions were between the two communities or from family to family.
Grandchildren were also more likely to live into adulthood if their grandmothers were alive when they were born. If their grandmothers were younger than 60 at the time, that was even better. The study also found that women had children 2 to 3 years earlier if their own mothers were still alive at that time than those whose mothers had died.
The researchers suggested that grandmothers have provided important assistance in raising their grandchildren for at least the past 200,000 years. As a result, they helped extend everyone’s lifespan.
So, don’t take your grandma for granted!
How many women in the survey in the two communities were grandmothers who had lived past the age of 50?

According to the passage, what influence did it have on a woman if her mother was still alive?

How did grandmothers help extend everyone’s lifespan?

According to the passage, we don’t know that _______.

What is the difference between a college and a university? This is a good question for students who want to attend a college or a university in the United States.
Colleges and universities have many things in common. Both provide a greater understanding of the world and its past. Both provide education in the arts and sciences. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living.
Students who complete their undergraduate studies either at a four-year college or a university receive a bachelor’s degree. One difference is that many colleges do not offer graduate studies.
Universities are generally bigger, offer more programs and do more research. Modern universities developed from those of the Middle Ages in Europe. The word “university” comes from the Latin “universitas”. This described a group of people organized for a common purpose. The word “college” comes from a Latin word with a similar meaning, “collegium”. In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live in. Usually each group of students was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study. But a college can also be a part of a university. The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true.
Programs in higher learning may also be called schools. The University of Arizona in Tucson, for example, has 18 colleges and 10 schools. They include the colleges of pharmacy (制药学), education, engineering and law. They also include the schools of architecture, dance and public administration.
College is also used as a general term for higher education. A news report might talk about “college students” even if they include students at universities. Or someone might ask, “Where do you go to college?”
Today, most American colleges offer an area of study called liberal arts. These are subjects first developed and taught in ancient Greece. They include language, philosophy and mathematics. The purpose is to train a person’s mind instead of teaching job skills.
The passage is probably written to _________.

When the term “college students” appears in a newspaper, it may refer to ________.

What can we learn from the passage?

The area of study called liberal arts is designed to _______.

My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my success. If I won a spelling contest(竞赛) at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I got a promotion(提升), I'd call my father right away and he'd rush out to tell all his friends. In 1970,when I was named president of the Ford Motor Company, I don't know which of us was more excited.
Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their feelings and their loves not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug(拥抱) their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every opportunity for nothing could have felt more natural.
He was a curious man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown to buy a motorcycle. Unfortunately, my father and his motorcycle didn't get along too well. He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it. As a result, he never again trusted any vehicle with less than four wheels.
Because of that motorcycle, I wasn't allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen.
I hugged and kissed my father at every opportunity,______.

My father trusted no vehicle with less than four wheels because _____.

Which of the following statements shows that my father was a curious man?

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

Signs in Chinese will be set up in public areas such as airports, to benefit Chinese travelers, the Italian Government announced in late February. Now many European countries are expected to follow this example.
Despite the different languages, travel across Europe has never been so simple. Just five years ago, if you wanted to visit Germany in the north and Spain in the south in one trip, you had to wait for weeks to apply for different visas from the two countries. You also needed a calculator because both countries had different money.
Today, with a Schengen Visa issued by any member country, you can travel across 15 European countries without stopping. Since 2002, within most of the EU, there is now just one type of money called the Euro. The Euro was designed to be the only money in the EU, and already makes it easier to shop around. If you drive, your driving license and car insurance policy are valid（有效的）in the other European countries. And you can use your mobile phone everywhere.
All the countries in the continent are melting into a united Europe under the EU. For Europeans and visitors, the result is that it is more convenient to travel back and forth between the different countries. 
By saying the underlined sentence “Now many European countries are expected to follow this example”, the writer means that ____.

Compared to five years ago, traveling in Europe has become easier because ___.

It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you like exploring the wilderness, you should read the following suggestions from search-and-rescue rangers(搜救队) in the national parks.       
Before you head out on a hike, check the weather, take plenty of water, and make sure someone knows where you’ll be and when you’ll be back. Bring clothes to keep you warm when wet, like a waterproof jacket. Avoid cotton, which traps damp.       Take basic precaution, such as waterproof matches, a folding saw, a good knife, a first-aid kit, a flash light, and batteries.
The minute you think you might get lost, stop.       And you should stay calm and think rationally(理性地). If you are not alone, focusing on the needs of others can help hold your own fears at bay. Keeping a sense of humor helps too.—it reduces stress and promotes creative thinking.
In general, people who try to find their own way out are far worse than those who stay put（呆在原处).       In a wide-open area, make a signal with colorful gear, make a big X out of rock, or dig a shallow trench, which are easy to spot from above.
You can go several days without eating, so in most cases, you’d better not search for food, since there are lots of poisonous plants in the wild. But you need to stay hydrated(含水的).       If you are lost in your car, stay there: You are more visible to rescuers. And the car provides shelter.

E.First of all find a shelter and stay in it in order to keep dry.
F.These suggestions may keep you alive in emergencies.
G.If you run out of water, It’s usually better to drink from a stream with suspect water than to go without.

This morning I got up early and went to school as usually, only find there was nobody in the classroom because it was Sunday. “How a bad memory I have!” I couldn’t help laughing. Stand in front of the school gate, I began to wonder what to do next. Suddenly a good idea occurs to me. “Why not get together with some good friends for a picnic in such a fine weather?” I immediately telephoned some of my best friends, but they all agreed to come to join me. About two hours late, we finally arrived a pleasant park with trees and flowers here and there. We really enjoyed us hugely.
