答案及解析：
1．A．此題是一道細節題，文章第一自然段的前三個句子就告訴了此題的答案。
2．B．文中有這樣的句子"Who can it be at this time of night?"，此句說明Mr. Lee 很想知道是誰在午夜時來敲門。
3．C．此題是一道常識題，因為大家都知道在愚人節這天，人們可相互開玩笑。
4．B．英國男孩和Mr. Lee開玩笑，說明他把Mr. Lee看成朋友，所以答案是B。
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 conctor 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 (習慣)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 (點頭) 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 alt (成人) --it's just not done in Thailand .
1. 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
2. According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should _________.
A. learn the language of the country
B. understand the manners and customs of the country
C. have enough time and money
D. make friends with the people there
3. In India it is considered impolite ___________.
A. to use the right hand for passing food at table.
B. to pass food with the left hand.
C. to eat food with your hands.
D. to help yourself at table.
4. To cross one's legs at an important meeting in Europe is _______.
A. a common (平常的) habit
B. an important manner
C. a serious (嚴重的) trouble
D. a bad manner
5. The best title (題目) for this article is ________.
A. People's Everyday Life
B. Mind Your Manners
C. Shaking and Nodding Head
D. Taking a Bus in England
答案及解析：
1．D。這是一道句子理解題，也可以看成細節題。在第一自然段的最後，有這樣的句子： No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at a bus stop is the first person to get on the bus．從此句可知那三位先生並不知道在英國乘車的習慣，所以答案是D。
2. B。這是一道細節題。答案在第二自然段的第二個句子。
3．B。同第二題一樣，此題也是細節題。可在第二自然段直接找到答案。
4．A。單句理解題。最後一個自然段中有說：In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs When you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting．這個句子的意思是：在歐洲，開會時翹二郎腿是很常見的。這說明許多人有這樣的習慣，所以答案應該是A。
5．B。通讀全文就會發現，只學習一門外語是不夠的，還要多了解該國的風俗習慣，否則就會遇到麻煩，所以答案是B。
Tom walked into a shop . It bad a sign outside : "Second-hand (舊的) clothes bought and sold . "He was carrying an old pair of trousers and asked the owner of the shop, "How much will you give me for these?" The man looked at them and then said: "Two dollars."
"What !" said Tom. "I had guessed they were worth at least five dollars."
"No," said the man, "they aren't worth a cent more than two dollars."
"Well," said Tom, taking two dollars out of his pocket. "Here's your money. These trousers were hanging outside your shop. The list price (標價)of them was six dollars and a half. But I thought that was too much money, so I wanted to find out how much they were really worth."

D. Tom bought the trousers four dollars and a half
答案及解析：
1．B．Tom拿著一條褲子並且問："How much will you give me for these?"店主所以認為Tom是來賣褲子的，故答案是B。
2．A．此題是細節題，可在第一自然段的末尾找到答案。
3．B．店主當然想便宜地把褲子買下來。
4．C．從短文的倒數第二段可以了解到，褲子不是Tom的而是店主的。
5．D．褲子的標價是6.5美元，而Tom只給了店主2美元，所以答案應該是D。

To find out whether bees（蜜蜂） see colours, the following experiment is made. A round table is put in a garden, and on the table is a piece of blue cardboard（硬紙版）with a drop of syrup（糖漿）on it. After a short time, bees come to the syrup. The bees then fly to their hive（蜂房）and give the syrup to other bees in the hive. Then they return to the feeding-place which they have found. After a while, the blue cardboard with the syrup on it is taken away. Instead of this card, a blue card is now put on the left side of the first feeding-place and a red card to its right.

Now satellites are helping to forecast（預報）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大氣）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（氣象學家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比較）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed ring the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.

前兩天路過琉璃廠，才知道那條路早已被拓寬，原來路口有座敦實笨重的過街天橋，不知什麼時候也被拆了。
十幾年前，那座橋下有家店鋪，小羅是店裡的售貨員，分管筆墨紙硯、篆刻印石，還有畫冊書籍三個櫃台。我那會兒住得近，又正在跟一個老先生學寫字，所以常從他那裡買點東西。第二次從他手上買東西的時候，他一臉誠懇地笑著問：您真勤快，上回那捲毛邊紙，這也就十來天吧，都寫完啦？我當時一愣，感嘆這小哥記性好，天天手下幾百單買賣，對客人居然過目不忘。
類似這樣頗顯老派的優良作風，小羅身上很多，用一句話概括，就是得了琉璃廠老店溫文爾雅、盡心盡責好風氣的真傳。
雖然沒嘮過家常，眼睛耳朵可沒閑著，時日一久，還是大略知道些他的來歷。比如小羅的口音和我認識的一位老作家一模一樣，老先生是河北人，所以小羅也肯定是。再比如，逢年過節店裡伙計倒休，別人換來換去，小羅卻從不缺席，由此我又認定，小羅和家人的關系一定很緊張，十七八歲，正是叛逆期。
後來證明，後一條猜錯了。
那年除夕，起大早去小羅店裡買點紅底灑金紙，准備回家寫春聯。琉璃廠家家戶戶張燈結綵，一派節日氣氛。還在店外，就見小羅站在櫃台里，愣愣地在看門口一個大爺抖空竹，神色有點憂郁。可我一進店，他臉上迅速流露出職業的微笑，我純屬客氣地問：不回家過年啦？
小羅手指敲敲櫃台：這兒就是家，當伙計的，沒資格回家過年。
我又問：爹媽也落忍？
小羅說：爹媽早不在世啦。
小羅這樣說時，仍是笑著，但我一時語塞，心裡明白那笑全是為我——在小羅這樣的年輕老派講究人心底，對顧客只能有一種態度，就是伺候。
這樣的小羅，如果不是親眼所見，我絕不相信他有朝一日會罵人，而且罵的就是顧客。
話說過街天橋通行那天，我又去買紙。小羅正忙著接待一位闊太太模樣的顧客，耐心細致地向她展示各種熟宣，櫃台上已經摞了好幾卷。
闊太太操著台灣腔，無論小羅拿出什麼紙，都碎嘴嘮叨盡情抒發著不滿，嗓門很大。小羅一點不怵，在闊太太指使下，繼續爬上爬下往櫃台上摞宣紙，逐一詳細介紹。正在這時，闊太太不知什麼來由突然暴發，猛然把手中一卷宣紙朝地上一忽嚕，同時鄙夷地對小羅說：都是些擦屁股紙，太爛了嘛，還要來騙我說有多好……
老闆趕緊過來一臉堆笑詢問出了什麼事。此時的小羅，忽略過老闆，雙眼嚴厲地盯著闊太太不放，腰卻彎了下去，把地上的那捲紙拾起，拍拍上邊的土，一字一頓地對闊太太說：我在這店裡，閱人無數，紙是有靈性的，它會記住你這張臭嘴！
小羅雖沒上過幾年學，可「閱人無數」這樣文氣的話，平常在他口中也是時時迸出，頗有古風。而在如此古風的襯托下，「臭嘴」這樣的話，就算小羅最惡毒的罵人話了。
從那以後，再沒見過小羅，聽說他從那家店辭了職，回了老家

「Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.」
This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.
We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?
Picture this. You』re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone ring;
a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen; the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your wrk. Now you have
to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?
Inventions have sped up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have to no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps it』s because they live simpler lives.
One family in the UK went
「back in time」to see what was like without all the inventions we
have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house.
They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.
The grandmother, Lyn, said,
「Themore things you have, the more difficult life becomes.」
They boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a 「trendy, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.」
( ) 1. The writer uses the quote (
引語
) at the beginning of the story to __________.
A. tell us a truth about our life

On Nov.18th,1908,three men went up in a balloon. They started early in London. The headman was Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.
Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope, and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight. It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.
After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men's basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.
At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 kilometers from London!
