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 cut-and-switch method．The Los Angeles Times noted，“They are hanging on to a form of behavior that favors manners above efficiency．”
1.What does the story mainly talk about？
A．The importance of proper table manners．
B．The development of table manners in Western countries．
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
B．became popular
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？
A．British and American table manners are completely different from each other．
B．American people pay more attention to their table manners than British people do．
C．With globalization，the American cut-and-switch 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．

The news which the English Entrance Examination will be reformed has caused a big “earthquake” in our country．Many people, included students, are for it．But there are also some people are against it．Then, is it better to do so or not? Personally, I think the reform has between advantages and disadvantages．On the one hand, it can reduce students’ learn burden and enable English to return back to its true function．On the other hand, it will cause students to spend less time on studying English and to attached less importance to English．If so, students will not have a good knowledge of English．What’s more, if students don’t have so a good ability, they will not be able to broaden our horizon and meet the future challenges．

How to live life to the fullest
“Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” But for those who take critical decisions, life can be different. How true that is! Stare life in the face as you experience it like a roller coaster ride. 1.Life is made up of choices and decision-making is critical as each choice has both consequences and benefits. Please weigh the latter and always choose life. Always ask what you can learn and how you can move forward, and stop yourself from blaming other people if things aren’t the way you would like them to be.
Seize the day. 2.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift—that’s why it’s called the present. Life presents us with a lifetime of opportunities, but the opportunities of a lifetime are got when right choices are followed. Be present to enjoy the moment. Each day is a fresh start with choices just waiting to be explored, so what are you waiting for?
3.This is a great way to live life. It means accepting your present the way it is, and offering no resistance to it. However, it does not mean not trying to change it. It means being truly yourself, accepting the present around you, then trying to change it. Often ask yourself: “Has my resistance helped me in any way?” Remember: “Life goes on.”
Accept yourself. Don’t judge yourself. This is the very first step you must take if you really want to live life to the fullest. Why? Because if you’re judging yourself or thinking part of you is wrong, you’ll limit yourself.4.
5.No matter what the situation you find yourself in ,always be focused on what you can be learning from it, how you can be growing, and what you can be taking away from it ,so that you can respond to similar situations more effectively in the future.
A. Always be learning.
B. Fully accept the present.
C. Go on enjoying your life.
D. Show a positive attitude.
E. Live each day as if it’s your last day.
F. And if you limit yourself, you can’t live life to the fullest.
G. The meaning of your life is something you create day after day with your own actions and thoughts.

My father suffered a disease once, but he was an optimist(乐天派).He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he became a volunteer at a children's hopital. Sometimes one or two kids would die.
