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．The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _________．
| A．were foreigners | B．didn't have tickets |
| C．made a loud noise | D．didn't line up for the bus |

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．

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience (耐力).
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing, but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence . I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal (水晶).The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was ________ for Father and Son.
| A．hard | B．enjoyable |

Happiness Ks not far away
Happiness comes from the little things in life．Simple ways in our daily life often help the most．It is not a dream for you to make it come true but a shining star that guides you and a mirror that shows you the meaning of life in the world．If you feel that happiness does not come to you，here are the following steps which will lead you there．
To yourself
Start by treating yourself kindly and becoming your own best friend．
Give up trying so hard to become someone else who is not yourself right now．It's better to just be you．
To your life
Walk in the park or along the street with a pet．Balance your life with activities and a good rest．
Play and do those activities which gently nurture（滋养） your own mind．Playing in your garden or filling your home with beautiful flowers is not a bad try and the memory of those flowers will be always carried with you．
Smile as you think about the future．If you smile，you can not have negative（消极的） thoughts!
Concentrate on the positive（积极的） in this world，and look for joy．
To your work
Work hard and make efforts to reach your goals，and reward yourself when you are done．
Remove the task that is not useful．We are learning that doing too many tasks at the same time just doesn't work．
Try writing down what is troubling you，discussing your trouble with yourself．The science now shows that as you write your troubles，your brain will change for the better．
By writing a daily thanks diary you will feel the positive memory and experiences once more，and by remembering these moments，your levels of happiness will rise．
To your friends
You can write a "happy letter" to your family and friends every day．Just a short note will do．You can do the following:
Monday: Write a thank-you note to your friend．
Tuesday: Write a short letter to your friend about a good moment you have recently experienced．
Wednesday: Write about a nice moment you plan to experience in the future．
Thursday: Write a letter to someone that is important in your life．
Friday: Write three things that went really well today．
Saturday and Sunday: Go on with your daily thanks diary．
If you pay attention to all that is good in your life instead of negative thoughts，happiness will become a natural Dart of your day!

When you watch 3D movies or TV，you have to wear a special pair of glasses．The 3D glasses make the images from the screen look like they are there in the room with you．
Three-dimensional，or 3D，means having three dimensions（维度） : width，height and depth．3D technology（技术） is based on the way the human brain（大脑） and eyes work．Because the pupils of a person's eyes are about 6．5era apart（分开），when we look at something，each eye sees it from a different angle（角度）．Our eyes send the two images to our brain，and the brain puts them together．The small difference between the image from the right eye and the image from the left eye allows us to see depth．
When we view pictures and television in two dimensions，each eye gets the same information．That is because the image has no real depth，and there is only one of viewing it．So the goal of 3D technology is to get a different image into each of the viewer．It uses two film projectors．One projects a left eye image and the other projects a right image．The 3D glasses allow us to see a different image in each eye．
While watching 3D films，we feel that we are in the same environment as the things we're watching．However，it also has its disadvantages．The 3D glasses work by controlling the amount of light that reaches the eyes．It makes the screen look darker．What's more，people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3D movies，because their brains need to work harder to "read" the images．According to the passage，we can see 3D TV with the help of ____．
| A．the exciting games | B．the special glasses |
| C．the dark screen | D．the image in the room |
The second paragraph mainly tells us ____．
| A．how we see things in 3D |
| B．how 3D films are made |
| C．what the human brain does for our eyes |
| D．how different images get into the brain |
The underlined word "pupils" in the passage means____ in Chinese．
| A．学生 | B．视线 | C．睫毛 | D．瞳孔 |
Which of the following is TRUE?
| A．3D glasses make the screen look brighter． |
| B．People with eye problems can't see 3D films． |
| C．A 3D film needs making by two film projectors． |
| D．3D glasses held people get the same image in each eye． |
Nearly eight hundred million people in this world cannot read or write，most of them in developing countries．Two-thirds are women and girls．
John Wood who started the Room to Read campaign （运动），has opened1650 schools and 15000 libraries in some of the world's poorest communities（社区）．He said that from the beginning，Room to Read's goal was to reach 10 million children around the world in the poorest countries．
In 1998，on a three-week vacation journey in Nepal，Wood met a local headmaster who invited him to visit his school in a far mountain village．The experience changed Wood's life．
"This headmaster had 450 students at the school，but he didn't have any books，" Wood said．"He had a library that was empty．"
Wood promised to fill the library shelves and returned to the village one year later with some of his friends with 3000 books．And that was just the start．Later，Wood used some of his personal money to start Room to Read． He believes that world change begins with educated children．Today，the programme can be found in10 countries across Asia and Africa．
Wood believes the key to the program's success is local support．While Room to Read gives away money and provides books，communities offer land and parents help build the school．Agnes，a Room to Read teacher in Zambia who also runs the library，is proud to say the literacy' at her school has improved． Room to Read's biggest challenge is the huge need． Hundreds of communities have asked for literacy prograrnmes．One way of Room to Read's success is that it will achieve Wood's goal of reaching 10 million kids by 2015，five years earlier than it is planned．The purpose of the Room to Read campaign is to ____．
| A．ask parents to read together with their children |
| B．help poor children to learn to read and write |
| C．tell more people the importance of reading |
| D．help 10 million children to go to college |
When John Wood travelled in Nepal in 1998，he ____．
| A．visited many local schools |
| B．sent many books to local children |

| A．the teaching conditions |
| B．the teaching quality |
| C．students' ability to read and write |
| D．the money teachers earn every month |
