    阅读理解，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。

    　　Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that's only superficial．Besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough．The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares．If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes．

    　　The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes．Soup then will be served(unless in Guangdong style restaurants)to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings．If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all．

    　　Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests．In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks．This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness．It is always polite to eat the food．If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate．

    　　People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed．When you have had enough, just say so．Or you will always overeat!

    Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs , teachers find students’ posture(姿势) and attention improve.
    Dottie Pownall, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, USA, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008. “The students love them”, she says. Pownall took a survey(调查) of her students. She found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.
    The teacher, Pisa Witt, felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs, she started Witt Fitt. This company encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use them. “Our products are used in 24 states, three provinces in Canada, Puerto Rico (波多黎各) and Japan,” says Witt, “ Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter（直的）. You can slouch(低头垂肩地坐)on a ball,” says Witt, “but it feels bad.” Because the students are moving, their blood (血液) increases. That carries more oxygen( 氧气) to the brain , so the kids have more energy and can pay attention longer.
    “Besides, they’re fun.” says Pownall.
    【小题1】What will happen if a student sits on a chair all day in school? The student will_________.

    A．pay more attention to his lessonsB．be fun
    C．like to move aroundD．sit up straighter
    【小题2】How long has Dottie Pownall used the balls?
    A．About four years.B．Only one year.
    C．In 2008.D．Since he was a fifth-grade teacher.
    【小题3】In how many countries are the balls used as the students’ chairs?
    A．Four.B．Three.C．Two.D．One.
    【小题4】Teachers choose balls instead of chairs because sitting on balls helps the kids _________.
    A．improve the students’ posture and attention
    B．slouch on the chairs
    C．have fun
    D．Both A and C are correct answers
    【小题5】Which is better for kids to study in class, sitting on a chair or sitting on a ball?
