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.

Life is filled with challenges.As we get older we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that shape us and make us who we are,it is the same with the challenges that come with friendship.When we are faced with a challenge,we usually have two choices.We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn’t worth the trouble and call it quits.Although there are certainly times when calling it quits is the right thing to do,in most cases all that is needed is commitment(承诺)and communication.
When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is,we will always choose to face it through instead of running away from it.Communication is making a space for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong.If you can say to a friend,“I got my feelings hurt.” rather than“You hurt my feelings.”you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.
In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for what they are:small hurdles you need to jump or get through on your way through life.Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only serves to make us stronger.It is all part of growing up,it happens to everyone,and some day you will look back on all of this and say,“Hard as it was,it made me who I am today.And that is a good thing.”

A. devoted B satisfied
C. smpdsed D. interested

A. friendship needs challenges

科目:高中英语 来源:2014-2015学年河北永年第二中学高三12月月考英语试卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解
When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising---and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
1.What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?
A. Staying on the farm
B. Moving to the countryside
C. Leaving home for the city
D. Running away from the school
2.Which of the following is true about the writer?
A. He is very old now.
B. He is in good health.
C. He prefers driving a car.
D. He lives in the city now.
3.In the passage, the writer tries to _______.
A. express his opinions about way of life
B. describe his life in the countryside
C. show an interest in the outside world
D. persuade the reader to live in the city
4.How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By inferring
B. By comparing
C. By listing examples
D. By giving explanations
