( A )
The custom in different countries are rather different.If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plates as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I don’t want to, because if it is considered bad manners in the west to leave one’ food on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he very often refused the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China, but it is not in the West at all. In the United states, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something. They will ask for it. If not, they will say, “ No, thanks.” When an American is fed up with beer by the host, for example,he might say, “ No, thanks.I will take some diet. Pepsy-cola if you have it.”That is what an American will do.So when you go to the United states, you had better remember the famous saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
51. From the passage, we can know that the Chinese are usually _________.
A. very hot B. polite C. impolite D. cold
52.When a foreigner has dinner with a Chinese host, he often feels ________.

53. Why does a Chinese often refuse the offer of food or drink at a dinner party ?

54. When an American wants something to eat or drink at a dinner, he will ______.
A. ask for it boldly B. refuse the offer

A. When you got to Rome, you should act as the Romans do.
B. When you stay in Rome, you should do as the Romans do.
C. When you are in a new country, you should do as the locals do.
D. Romans can be an example for you.

One evening last July, my old car broke down on a highway. It was an hour before sunset, and it was 25 miles from home. I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus.
After a while, a bus pulled up and I asked the driver how far she was going.“Four more lights.” she said. She dropped me off at the end of her route ( 线路 ) and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up and the door opened.
“I just can’t leave you here,”she said,“I will give you a ride home.”
“You will drive me home in the bus?”I asked, confused (迷惑不解).
“No, I will take you in my car,”she said.“It’s a long way,” I answered.
“Come on, sir,” she said,“I have nothing else to do.”
On the way, she told me a story, A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas, A good Chinese man had picked him up, taken him to a gas station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor（恩惠 ，帮助）along ,”she said.
When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn’t accept (接受) it.“ That wouldn’t make it a favor.” she said,“Just do something nice for someone. Pass it along.”

I’m confused these days. We are taught at home and at school that using violence (暴力) is the least civilized (文明的) way to solve problems. For example, last week I thought about hitting my friend for winning a beautiful shell while we were playing at the beach. I talked with him instead and we came to an agreement. If two adults had a disagreement, and if they used violence towards each other in order to win, is it all right?
When two countries disagree, they often fight a war. Why is using violence not okay at home, at school, or in your country but okay between countries? So many people have beenkilled because of wars, not only soldiers but ordinary people, even small children and babies.And refugees (难民) exist, too. A war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell,just much bigger.Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace.But can you really “make peace” by killing so many people? I don’t think bombs (炸弹) can reach people’s hearts and change them. Bombs can’t create love and caring, and that’s what we need in the world. Why do adults use violence so quickly? Why can’t they use theirwisdom (智慧) and talk it over?
Adults might say that things are not that easy. But they are the ones that teach us to be kind, not to hurt people, and not to kill. Why don’t they act as what they say?---A page from a 12-year-old boy, Joshua’s diary.
61. At the beach, Joshua ________.
A. hit his friend B. won a beautiful shell
C. played with a beautiful shell
D. came to an agreement with his friend
62. Joshua hates wars between countries because ________.
A. he is afraid of wars B. he doesn’t understand adults
C. wars create death and refugees
D. wars are not the only way to make peace
63. What’s the key to peace in Joshua’s opinion?
A. Love and care for each other.
B. Don’t use violence so quickly.
C. Stop using bombs in wars.
D. Don’t hurt or kill people in wars.
64. From the reading we can see Joshua wants adults to ________.
A. learn from children B. be children’s models
C. be kind to children D. teach children how to solve problems
65. Choose the best title (标题) for the passage.
A. Adults and Wars B. How to Stop Wars
C. Wars Can’t Make Peace D. Ways of Solving Problems

14. Tom was ten years old, and he was a very lazy boy. He didn’t like doing any work. He had to go to school of course, but he didn’t study hard there and tried to do as little work as possible. His father and mother were both doctors and they hoped that their son would become one, too when he grew up. But one day Tom said to his mother, “When I finish school, I want to be a cleaner.” “A cleaner?” his mother asked. She was very surprised. “That’s not a very pleasant job, why do you want to become a cleaner?” “Because then I would only have to work one day a week.” Tom answered at once. “Only one day a week?” his mother said, “What do you mean? And how do you know?” “Well,” Tom replied, “I know that the cleaners who come to our house only work on Thursday, because I only see them on that day.”
