Different countries and different people have different manners. We must find out their customs so that they will not think us ill mannered. Here are examples of the things that a person with good manners does or does not do. If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens，you will not move before the host says “Come in，please”. After you enter the room，you would not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on a tea table before you or sent to your hand, you will say “Thank you.” and receive it with two hands, not one hand，or they will think you are ill mannered. Before entering a house in Japan, it is a good manner to take off your shoes. In European countries，even though shoes sometimes become very dirty，this is not done. In a Malay house，a visitor never finishes the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England，a visitor always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it. This will make the host pleasant.

第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause great damage to him. According to several leading educational experts, this is one of the biggest mistakes that some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fall. Unrealistic(不现实) expectations of the parents can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible(明智) way, the child may succeed in doing very well—especially if the parents are very supportive to their children.
Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and let him attend piano and violin lessons. Although Michael' s mother knows very little about music, his father is a good musician. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.
Michael's friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age I used to win every competition I enter.” Winston's father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always quiet and unhappy.

A．what differences there are between parents

A．he has to do his best to do everything
B．he has made greater progress in music
C．he is afraid he may disappoint them
D．he often wants to kill himself someday

China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors — silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
25．According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A．Because they are traditional and safe.
B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C．Because they are colorful and available.
D．Because they are fast and environment friendly.
26．The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ________.
A．to ride it for fun
B．to use it for transport
C．to experience local culture
D．to improve his riding skills
27．How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A．It was boring.　　　B．It was difficult.
C．It was lively. D．It was wonderful.
28．Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?
A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C．The author was praised by the other bikers.
D．The author took great pleasure in biking.

It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense, too. It takes the most cool－headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognise politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that gave rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the roadman ship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give－and－take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
29．The passage mainly talks about ________.
A．road politeness B．traffic jams
C．good manners D．modern drivers
30．Troubles on the road are often caused by ________.
A．traffic jams
B．the behavior of the drivers
C．great speed
D．terrible road conditions
31．According to the writer, a good driver should ______.
A．beat back when forced to face rude driving
B．be able to recognise politeness when he sees it
C．encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to
D．join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel
