A question of good manners

  The English are proud of their well-mannered and courteous(有礼貌的) behaviors.After living in London for many years, I have found the answer to how they became that way.

  I remember clearly, when I was at primary school, I was taught good manners before anything else!

  “Please”and“Thank you”were the most common words in the manners class.There was even a reward(奖励)system where the politest child would receive a badge(奖章)every week for being nice to the rest of the class.

  As I grew older, I was given“physical and social health”lessons.These were used to teach teenagers how to behave in the adult world.They taught us how to deal with issues(问题)like money, responsibility(责任),and relationships with other people.This helped us to grow into better people.In a way, the lessons taught us how to be more polite.

  One of the topics that came up in these lessons was the issue of the“dreaded”(可怕的)opposite sex.I remember how all the boys giggled(咯咯笑)and laughed at the very thought of having a girlfriend or even speaking to one.The teachers soon taught us(boys)to respect the girls in our class and treat them with dignity(尊严).No doubt this advice helped us in later life-it made sure that all the boys were courteous to women.My friends have used this information to help their social lives successfully.

  I feel that being good mannered has become a part of English culture.Their good manners even attract tourists from all around the world!Many of them flock(大量涌入)to see the Queen’s Guards at Buckingham Palace(白金汉宫),who are famous for being polite and professional.

(2)

C.

D.

Hi, guy!

(3)

How does the writer like the advice from his teacher to respect the girls with dignity in his class?

Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier---the shark(鲨鱼).

Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms.

Lauren Smith, 24, is close to completing her study on shark’s ability to sense pressure.

If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behaviour of sharks to predict bad weather.

Miss Smith had previously studied the behaviour of lemon sharks in the Bahamas.

She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research at Aberdeen University.

Her work---thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory ---- resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks(黑边鳍真鲨) off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.

Miss Smith said: “I’ve always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”

“I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree. I know there’s so much more we need to understand ---- but it certainly opens the way to more research.”

It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.

At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.

In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal(潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish----none of which were harmed. She also used a special lab which can mimic(模拟) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.

She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research. 

The passage is most probably taken from _____.

A. a short-story collection

B. a popular science magazine

C. a research paper

D. a personal diary

What do we learn from the first four paragraph of the passage?

A. Sharks may be used to predict bad weather.

B. Sharks’ behaviour can be controlled.

C. Michael Fish is not qualified for his job.

D. Lauren Smith will become a weather forecaster.

Lauren Smith conducted her research by _______.

 A. removing hair cells from a shark’s balance system

 B. measuring the air pressure of weather fronts

 C. recording sharks’ body temperature

 D. monitoring sharks’ reaction to weather changes

What is the passage mainly about?

 A. A popular way of forecasting weather.

 B. A new research effort in predicting storms.

 C. Biologists’ interest in the secrets of sharks.

 D. Lauren Smith’s devotion to scientific research.

TS said that everyone has a changing circle of friends. However, no matter how frequently we renew our phone books, some names always remain. These names remind us of the good times we spent together with our friends. Though we may not see them every  day, they will always stay in our hearts.
Tom was often called "Big Head" at school because of his extraordinarily large head. He was one of my close friends at primary school. But since graduation, we have been studying in different cities and haven't seen each other for a long time.
Several days ago, I received an e-mail saying that my former classmates from primary school were holding a party to get together and chat about past memories. I was so excited because [ would get to see Tom again. What would he look like now? Would we still feel as close to each other as we had done back then? I was a little frightened about what I would find.
When I arrived at the party, I did manage to recognize Tom. However, he was much taller than he had been before. What's more, his head was no longer big.
"Hi, Buddy. Do you recognize me?" Tom walked towards me.
"Of course. How could I ever forget our ' Big Head' ," I said jokingly, "But where has your big head gone?"
"Haha, maybe it didn't keep up with the steps of time and stayed in the past," Tom patted his own head and answered with a laugh.
All my misgivings suddenly disappeared. I realized that time had changed us outwardly, but our friendship hadn't changed at all. I chatted happily with Tom about our shared experiences in primary school.
Then I looked around the small room and saw different faces, both familiar and unfamiliar, but none of them the faces of strangers. The whole party was filled with a warm atmosphere. Everyone was lost in the sweet memories of childhood. They forgot all their present-day stresses and pressures.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Come and get some pizza!" A call from a friend woke me up from my thoughts. I hurried towards the table. "Wait! That biggest piece is mine!"
