Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Whether you’re eating at a fancy restaurant or dining in someone’s home，proper table manners are likely to help you make a good impression.According to a US expert，Emily Post, “All rules of table manners are made to avoid ugliness.”
While Henry Hitchings of the Los Angeles Times admits that good manners can reduce social conflict，he points out that mostly their purpose is protective—they turn our natural warrior—like selves into more elegant ones.
So where did table manners come from?
In medieval England，a writer named Petrus Alfonsi took the lead to urge people not to speak with their mouths full.And King David Ⅰ of Scotland also proposed that any of his people who learned to eat more neatly be given a tax deduction(减除)．
Disappointingly，that idea never caught_on.It was during the Renaissance，when there were real technical developments，opinions of correct behavior changed for good.“None of these was more significant than the introduction of the table fork，” wrote Hitchings.“Gradually，as forks became popular，they brought the new way of eating，making it possible，for instance，to consume berries without making one’s fingers dirty.”
Forks were introduced to Britain in 1608 and 25 years later，the first table fork reached America.Yet while most of the essentials(基本要素) are the same on both sides of the Atlantic，there are a few clear differences between what’s normal in the US and what holds true in the UK.For example，in the US，when food needs cutting with a knife，people generally cut a bite，then lay aside the knife and switch the fork to their right hand.Then they pick up one bite at a time.By contrast，Britons keep the fork in the left hand and don’t lay the knife down.
Though globalization has developed a new，simpler international standard of table manners，some people still stick with the American cutandswitch method.The Los Angeles Times noted, “They are hanging on to a form of behavior that favors manners above efficiency.”

C．Some unwritten rules of table manners in the US and UK.
D．Differences between American and British table manners.
2．The underlined phrase “caught on” in the passage probably means “________”．
A．worked in practice

C．drew attention
D．had a positive effect
3．Which of the following events influenced people’s table manners most according to the article?
A．The introduction of forks.
B．The tax deduction policy.
C．The rise of the Renaissance.
D．Petrus Alfonsi’s efforts in promoting table manners.
4．What can we conclude from the article?

B．American people pay more attention to their table manners than British people do.
C．With globalization，the American cutandswitch method has been abandoned in the US.
D．British people’s way of using a knife and fork may be more efficient than American people’s.
B
As a substitute teacher，my daily routine involves driving to a new school almost every day so I’m usually unable to anticipate(预料) the day’s events，good or bad!
On one particular day，I was teaching in a very difficult classroom.I was managing behavior all the morning and by lunchtime，I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon.So on my lunch break，I drove to a nearby plaza to get a cup of coffee.Upon returning to the car I realized I had locked my keys and my phone inside！I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school.It was a good 4 or 5minute drive.I contemplated(思考) rushing back，but it being winter，I thought a nasty fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.
So I ran into a McDonald’s which was in the same plaza and asked the man at the counter，who happened to be the manager，to call me a cab.I briefly explained my situation to him，and I could tell that he empathized with me from his expression.He hurried to the back to use the phone while I was waiting.I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point.
The manager returned only to tell me that the cab company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected.My expression，I assume，began to resemble some combination of hopelessness and fear.
Without a second thought，he grabbed his coat and offered to drive me to the school.Without hesitation，I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes to spare before the bell!
Upon arriving at the school，I thanked this man endlessly.His calm behavior and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for.
This experience makes me realize that out of every seemingly hopeless situation，there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to transpire(发生)，which can have an unimaginable impact(影响) on those who receive them.
5．Why did the author want to get a cup of coffee?
A．Because he was very thirsty at that time.
B．Because he was only interested in drinking coffee.
C．Because he had to refresh himself for the classes in the afternoon.
D．Because he wanted to do something special to pass the whole afternoon.
6．The author ________ so he gave up the idea of going back to school on foot when he found his keys and phone were locked inside the car.
A．was too tired to walk further
B．was afraid of falling down on ice
C．asked the manager to call him a cab
D．decided to take a school bus
7．The author has probably stayed in the McDonald’s for about ________.
A．15 minutes
B．8－9 minutes
C．4－5 minutes
D．2 minutes
8．What kind of person is the manager?
A．Kindhearted.
B．Faithful.
C．Gentle.
D．Dependable.
Ⅱ.七选五
Have you ever been in a situation where you have done something just to make someone else happy?
You think that you are making yourself happy.__9__ I have done that many times because I wanted to impress people or I thought that if I made someone else happy it would certainly make me happy.I understand that all of us want our close friends and family to be proud of us，so we work hard in school or in our careers to meet their expectations.__10__ But if you are trying to realize other people’s dreams without keeping yourself satisfied，you will never be happy.
So you have to be clear and honest with yourself about what you want in your life.If you are honest with yourself，you will be more optimistic.__11__ You feel like you won’t need to achieve something for someone else.
__12__ They fear to be rejected (排斥) by others.They think and say “If I choose this job or career path，that person will think I am out of my mind.” or “I really want to start this business but those people will think that I won’t make any money.”__13__ Don’t think this way.If you follow other people’s wishes but cannot be true to yourself，you will have a hard time feeling great about yourself.
A．There is nothing wrong with that.
B．So why don’t I follow what they say?
C．And you will develop a drive from your heart.
D．So we should try our best to realize our dreams.
E．But we sometimes have to meet expectations from others.
F．The truth is that you are really trying to make someone else happy.
G．Why do so many people want to live their dreams for someone else?
