People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn’t lift (舉起) your bowl to your mouth when you are having some soup. But it’s different in China. And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making a noise when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. Making a noise is considered as (被認(rèn)為) bad manners (舉止，禮儀) in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp” (打嗝) after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’re having a meal. In Mexico, however, they hope you keep the hands on the table during a meal. But Arabians consider you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabians consider it very bad manners eating with left hands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well, you can ask the local people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them if you are on a visit in another country.
小題1:It is impolite to lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some soup in _________.
A．Britain B．ChinaC．JapanD． Mexico
小題2:In Mongolia, burping after eating shows that _________.
A．you are rudeB．you are hungry C．you dislike the food D．you like the food
小題3:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．People in different countries have different ways of doing things.
B．British people are very polite.
C．You mustn’t eat with your left hand.
D．Don’t worry about making a noise when you have soup.

小題1:A
小題1:D
小題1:A

小題1:In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid (液體) food本句的意思是“在英國(guó)，當(dāng)你喝東西時(shí)，你一定不要將碗放到嘴邊喝�！笨芍狢“用碗直接喝湯.”是不禮貌的。所以本題選A。
小題3:通過(guò)第二段的句子：Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp” (打嗝) after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food.可知，本題應(yīng)該選D。
小題3:通過(guò)People in different countries have different ways of doing things一句和閱讀全文，可知，本文主要講述了不同國(guó)家的餐桌禮儀。所以本題選B。

All over the world, the global diet includes fast food—prepared items from inexpensive restaurants, snack bars, or food stands. Some examples of American fast food are hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, fried chicken, and so on. Some types of international fast foods might be German sausage and Schnitzel, Italian pizza, Japanese sushi and tempura, Chinese eggrolls and noodles and the like. The variety of fast foods all over the world is growing. Even so, this kind of style is becoming worldwide. Fast-food places usually prepare and serve the items quickly. Many are part of fast-food chains (eating places with the same name and company owner). For example, the biggest and most famous American fast-food chain serves hamburgers in nearly every part of the world.
For several reasons, many people choose fast food. First, it is quick and convenient. Second, it is cheaper than special home-cooked meals or formal restaurant dinners. And third, it is easy to find every eating place with the same company name. The atmosphere and style of most fast-food places is casual, comfortable, and familiar.
Why do other eaters stay away from this fast, easy kind of nourishment? The main reason is its low nutritional value. Fast food doesn’t have large amounts of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and the like-elements necessary for good nutrition and health. In contrast (相反), most types of fast food have a lot of fat, sugar, or salt in them. Possibly, these things can cause or increase health disorders, like heart disease, and some kinds of cancer. Recently, these quick and easy kinds of world wide nourishment are generally getting better and more healthful. For example, many fast-food restaurants now have put vegetable items on their menus.
Of course, human beings around the world don’t always eat in fast-food places.The variety of food choices is large now and is probably going to increase. The number of food preparation methods is growing too. Cooking customs, eating habits, and food preferences all over the world are becoming more healthful. In these and other ways, the global diet is changing.  
小題1: From Paragragh 1,we can know that __________________.
A．America serves four kinds of fast food
B．we used to have more types of fast food
C．different countries have different types of fast food
D．America serves fewer fast food than other countries
小題2:The underlined phrase “stay away from” means __________.

There are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let’s look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese is about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative(消極) meanings.

For example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog—tired” means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much.
