         Asking for information or help is a very common and necessary activity, especially when we visit a
    foreign country. So knowing how to ask for information politely is important. In English, "Where are the
    restrooms?" and "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?" are similar requests-both are correct
    English, but the first could sound rude. It's important to use correct language, but sometimes this alone is
    not enough-we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.
         In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. The
    expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say
    to your teacher, "Where is my book?" this will sound rude. But if you say, "Excuse me, Mr West. Do you
    know where my book is?" your question will sound much more polite. On the other hand, it might be alright
    to say "Where is my book?" in some situations, perhaps with people you know well.
         And you would not usually say, "Peter, lend me your pen." A very direct order like this can sound rude
    in English. Usually in English polite questions are longer and include extra language, such as "Could you
    please...?" or "Can I ask...?" It sounds more polite to say, "Peter, could you please lend me your pen?"
    Sometimes we might even need to spend some time leading in to a question or request. For example, if you
    stop a stranger in the street, we might first say, "Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me." or "I'm sorry
    to trouble you but," before asking them for help.
         It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true.
    However, in order not to offend people, learning about the language etiquette is just as important as learning
    grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English, or any other language
    you wish to speak.
    1. It's important to know how to ______ in English when we visit a foreign country.
    2. When you talk with different people, you need to ______.
    3. Extra words are used to help ______.
    4. ______ is as important as learning language structure.
    5. How do you say "Don't smoke here." politely? ______
    1. ask for information politely
    2. change the way you speak
    3. make language more politely
    4. Learning about language etiquette
    5. Would you mind not smoke here? / Could you please not smoke here?

          As the Internet becomes more popular, many older media (媒体) businesses are dying out. But
    TV seems to be doing OK. In fact, it's doing better than OK. Though the Internet is popular in the
    world, television continues to draw more and more people all over the world to many of its programs.
    Hundreds of millions turn to TV to watch World Cup soccer,Olympic Games and Discoveries.
          In many places, increasing numbers of people can watch more TV than before. Ten years ago,
    only 44% of British homes had satellite or cable TV(卫星或有线电视).Today, more than 93% do.
    More importantly, recent studies show that people are spending more time watching TV. Surprisingly,
    this is even true of young people between the ages of 8 and 18.Today's television industry has given so
    many choices. As a result, people can watch more of the things they like 24 hours a day.
         The technology behind television has also improved. The big boxes that once filled living rooms are
    gone. Today's TV screens are thinner and thinner, yet the pictures are better and better. TVs are also
    moving from living rooms into kitchens and vehicles.
         For years, TVs have also been used as video game players. But now they have been used in a few
    new ways. Many televisions can connect to the Internet and record programs. They also let people
    watch two programs at the same time. Today the most modern television has been on the way of
    development.
         The Internet is the main challenge (挑战) for television now. But TV industry has shown that
    television will be important for years to come.

         As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences
    when we pay attention to the words are used. Let's look at the words about animals and plants. Most
    expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example,"a homeless dog","a mad dog","a running dog" and "a dog
    catching a mouse", have negative (消极的) meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest
    and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive (积极的) actions. 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. But in western culture,"cat" is often used to describe a
    woman who is cruel (冷酷的). There are many other examples of how "cat" is used differently as well.
        The rose is regarded as a symbol (象征) of love in both China and some western countries. People think
    the rose stands for (代表) love, peace (和平), courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of
    England, America and many other countries.
        The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can
    learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.
    1.  判断正误（“T”表示正确，“F”表示错误）。
         (     ) The word "dog" in Chinese usually has a negative meaning.
    2. What does "Every dog has its day.", mean?

         As a large part of land in Hawaii is rocky and mountainous, the state has little space in which to grow
    crops. Some areas are also covered with hard, black lava (熔岩) on which nothing can grow. Even so,
    Hawaii produces large quantities of farm products.

         As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me
    some uncomfortable moments.
         Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so
    much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes
    on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains (窗
    帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder
     than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so
    that the"enemy(敌人)" would not discover me.
         Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every
    morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the
    buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other
    strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.
         Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others.
    Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
         One of the processes (过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the
    things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

    1. The author had _____ kind(s) of fears when she was a child.
    A. one
    B. two
    C. three
    D. none
    2. _____ would scare the author at night.
    A. Streetlight and car lights
    B. Wild animals and enemies
    C. Moving curtains and wind
    D. Strange sights and sounds
    3. When she went to some other places, she would _____.
    A. walk away without others
    B. take a bus by herself
    C. follow others closely
    D. make sure not to take a wrong bus
    4. Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?
    A. She was usually popular among people.
    B. She was always the leader of the others.
    C. She always' got poor grades.
    D. She was not at all liked by others.
    5. The underlined word "overcome" means "_____" in Chinese.
    A. 接受
    B. 忍受
    C. 信服
    D. 克服
