If you have dinner with people in the west, I think you must pay more attention to the table manners. Here are some good table manners for you.

When you eat something, try not to make a noise or burp (打嗝) at the table. Because people think that is not polite. People will say “Excuse me” when they want to burp.

Talking with food in the mouth is very rude. So you must eat the food quietly and slowly. If you eat too fast, people think you are rude too. Do not talk with others when you have food in your mouth.

It is good to eat all the food on your plate. This means you like the food very much. Remember to say the food is nice. And this can make the host very happy. When you finish eating, you can place your knife and fork together.

Amy Chua, well-known as the Tiger Mother, has held the attention of parents all across the US. She told Reader’s Digest that she’s a little strange about how her book struck somany nerves in the US. The reporter of the magazine is sharing the interview with us.

Reader’s Digest: Did you want your book to be controversial (有争议的)?

Amy: I don’t think it would have been controversial at all if it wasn’t forthe Wall Street Journal headline that was called, “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”.

Reader’s Digest: What’s your view on your parenting?

Amy: My children grew up with one Western parent.My husband doesn’t believe in raising his voice with the kids and we don’t spank (打小孩). They were really raised in a half Asian family. My book’s message is that we should try to find the balance. I believe that when children are little, you should restrict (限制) their choices. I like the traditional Chinese way. Respect authority (尊重权利) and don’t just let them watch TV all the time. I don’t think kids under the age of ten can make good choices. But once they start to get older, the lesson I learnt with Lulu (Amy’s second daughter) is that you have to start listening to them. You have to start giving them more choices and more freedom. I really think it’s important to find a balance.

I like the strict Chinese way of discipline (行为准则) and hard work when children are young. But when they’re older, you have to send love to your child, you have to listen to your child and really achieve the balance between creativity, choice and freedom on the one hand, which the west is very good at, and on the other hand, hard work and self discipline, which I think traditional Chinese parenting is very good at.

36. Where can we find the passage?

A. In a novel.   B. In a magazine.    C. In a comic book.  D. In a history book.

 

37. The Tiger Mother thinks the reason her book became controversial is that ______.

A. she is very famous

B. parenting is such a common topic

  D. the Wall Street Journal headline was called “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”

38. Which of the following is TRUE according to Amy’s view on parenting?

A. We should control all of the children’s choices.

B. Spanking is necessary during children’s growth.

C. Children should be raised in half Asian families.

D. When children get older, parents should listen to them.

39. According to the passage, we can see ______ in the west.

A. children respect their parents because of authority

B. all kids under the age of ten can make good choices

C. some parents don’t believe in raising their voice with the kids

D. children do all of the things according to their parents’ orders

40. What is the main idea of this passage?

C. The Tiger Mother shows some of her ideas about her book and parenting.

D. Parents should achieve the balance between creativity, choice and freedom.

Saving water is an important part of going green. As water becomes less and polluted more, conservation (保护) becomes more and more important. The less water you use, the less wastewater will end up in our rivers and lakes. Wasting water means that more water needs to be treated and cleaned, a process that requires quite a lot of energy.

As it is said above, cutting down on water usage is one of the most important things you can do for your local environment and the planet as a whole. That is why more green households are going blue: cutting down their water footprint by conserving and harvesting (收获) water.

It may seem like a big concept, but going blue starts with small changes that everyone can make. Something as simple as turning off the tap while you brush your teeth can save a lot of water. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a bowl rather than under a tap to save even more. Make sure that the taps are fully turned off every time you step away from the sink or the shower — all those little drips can add up to a lot of water waste.

Another way of reducing your water footprint is reducing your dependence on the main water supply. Rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your home’s water needs. Many of us already practice rainwater harvesting in a small way. Collecting water from your gutters (檐沟) is a great way to keep your garden green without running the sprinkler (洒水器).

41. The underlined word “green” means ______ in this passage.

A. 嫉妒          B. 环保              C. 未成熟的        D. 健康的

42. According to the passage, which is NOT the reason that people should save water?

A. Treating wastewater needs much energy.

B. The water on the earth is becoming less and less.

C. The water on the earth is becoming polluted more.

D. Rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your home’s water needs.

43. According to the passage, all of these can be used to save water except ______.

A. washing fruit and vegetables under a tap

B. using a bowl to wash your fruit and vegetables

C. making sure taps are fully turned off all the time

D. turning off the tap every time after brushing your teeth

44. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A. Save Water by Turning off the Tap

B. How to Treat and Clean Wastewater

C. Keep Your Garden Green with Rainwater

D. Save Water Starting with Small Changes

45. From the passage, we can know that_____.

A. we can get enough water by harvesting

B. most people pay no attention to saving water

C. we can practice rainwater harvesting in a small way

  D. harvesting water is more necessary than conserving it

词，并将答案填写在答题卷标号为62—71的相应位置上。

Talking with people is necessary in our daily activities and it is also very important. However, we all have different styles of communicating. Some people seem to be liked by most of the people while others not! Why does this happen? The answer lies in the simple magic words of communication—Thank you, Please and Sorry!

Let’s see how and why we should use these three words:

◆ Thank you

There is not one day of our life which we spend without taking help from another person. From the time we start our day till we step into our bed for a good night’s sleep, we have taken a number of favors (恩惠). However, how many times do we thank the other person truly? Be free and generous in saying “Thank you”! It does not take away your credit (认可), but surely makes the other person happy and more willing to help you next time!

◆ Please

Often we take things for granted (想当然) and ask other people to do things for us. This does not help as others feel they are made to do these for you. A simple and sweet “please” could completely change the manner towards you.

◆ Sorry

Everyone makes mistakes, but it is quite difficult to accept it and say sorry for it. This always causes trouble in our relationship. Saying sorry does not disgrace (使丢脸) anyone, instead, puts them in a more polite position.

These three simple words can work wonders for people. If you truly use these words in your day to day communication with people, you will surely find a change in the way people respond (反应) to you and your actions.

Three   62   words of communication
Communicating is   63   and plays an important part in our daily activities. Because of different styles of it, some people are very   64   while others are not.
Thank you	We receive help from others   65   day. If you say “Thank you” after getting favors, others will help you   66  .
Please	Others should   67   you well, right? No! But if you   68   the simple and sweet “Please”, maybe others could change the manner towards you.
Sorry	It is human nature that everyone makes   69  . Saying “Sorry” can help you reduce      70   in your relationship.
You’re   71   to find a change in the way people respond to you if you truly use these words.

B) 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卷标号为72—81的相应位置上。 

There once was a master who went to India. He had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of f  72  . In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive b  73   they can’t grow much as a result of the water situation. He saw a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the c  74   in the shop, not expensive at all.

He went up and asked，“how much per kilo?”“Two rupees.”Two rupees in India is almost

n  75  ; it’s like dirt (尘土). So he bought a whole kilogram of it and started eating it. But

a  76   he ate some of it: Oh, my god! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying，“Ah! Ah! Ah!”

But he s  77   continued to eat! Some people looking at him shook their heads and said，“You’re crazy. Those are chilies (辣椒)! You can’t eat them like that. They’re not fruit!” However, the master said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”

You may think that master was s  78  , right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things

l  79   that. We devote money, time or effort to a relationship. Even though the suffering experience tells us it won’t w  80  , and we know there’s no hope things will change in the future—we still continue just because we’ve devoted money, time, effort and love to it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldn’t stop.

So even if you’ve lost something, let it g  81   and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.
