The English are famous for their manners. The phrase, “Manners maketh the man” was coined by Englishman William of Wykeham back in 1324, but they’re just as important today. Books are written on the subject, advice columns in magazines tell people how to behave, and “finishing schools” still exist to ensure that young girls become young “ladies”.
The best example of English manners is in their mastery of the art of forming a queue. It is a popular joke in England (the land of sporting failures) to say, “if only queuing was an Olympic sport, we’d win hands down” No one knows exactly how and when it started, but queuing plays an important role in the English social make-up. School children are taught to queue for roll-call, assembly and lunch, and English people across the land form orderly queues at shops, banks, cinemas and bus-stops every day. The English obviously aren’t the only people who queue, but they seem to do it better than anyone else. As one visitor said, “I have travelled across Europe, the Middle and Far East and nowhere have I seen the single-file queues which are formed in England.”
The English are also famously polite when it comes to language. Whereas many other notions are more direct in their communication, the English prefer a more indirect form of asking for things. For example, an American who wants to talk to a colleague might say, “Got a minute?”; however an English person will often use a more indirect means might of requesting the chat, “Sorry to bother you, but would you possibly have a minute or so to have a quick chat if you don’t mind, please?”
The English also love to apologize for things. When squeezing past someone, people say “sorry”. And they will apologize if you bump into them, “whoops! Sorry! My fault.” In fact, no one seems to say “sorry” as much as the English: “sorry I’m late. /Sorry I forgot to call you last night./I’m sorry you didn’t get the e-mail.” And so on. They also like to use “please” and “thank you” a lot. In a shop, they will say, “I’d like a packet of crisp, please. Thanks.” British students thank their lectures, and bosses often thank their employees for doing their jobs.
【小题1】 Why does “finishing schools” still exist to help young girls become “ladies”?

A.Because the English mind their manners very much.
B.Because the English parents want to marry their daughters to the royal family.
C.Because the English girls are so rude that they need to be taught to be polite.
D.Because the English government ensures their existence.
【小题2】The underlined sentence in paragraph2 implies ________________.
A.The English love the Olympics very much.
B.The English spend nothing winning an Olympic medal.
C.The English are best at queuing.
D.The English prefer to queue with their hands down.
【小题3】 According to the passage, if Americans say “Waiter! Could I have another fork, please?” how will the English express such a meaning?
A.Excuse me! Give me another fork, please!
B.Excuse me! I have to be a bother, but would you mind awfully changing this fork, please?
C.Hi! Would you mind giving me another fork?
D.Waiter! Come here and change the fork!
【小题4】According to the passage, why do the employers often thank their employees for doing their jobs?
A.The employees can bring them a lot of benefits.
B.The employees finish their jobs perfectly.
C.The English employers’ good manners lead them to do so.
D.The employers do it as a result of the company’s regulation.

When a first-time father saw his newborn son, he immediately noticed the baby's ears obviously standing out from his head. He expressed his concern to the nurse that some children might be made fun of his child. A doctor examined the baby and reassured the new dad that his son was healthy---- the ears presented only a small problem with its appearance.
But the nervous father continued. He wondered if the child might suffer psychological effects of ridicule, or if they should consider plastic surgery(整形手术). The nurse assured him that it was really no problem, and he should just wait to see if the boy grows into his ears.
The father finally felt more optimistic about his child, but now he worried about his wife's reaction to those large ears. She had been delivered by operation, and had not yet seen the child.
“She doesn't take things as easily as I do,” he said to the nurse.
By this time, the new mother was settled in the recovery room and ready to meet her new baby. The nurse went along with the dad to lend some support in case this inexperienced mother became upset about her baby's large ears.
The baby was in a blanket(毛毯) with his head covered for the short trip through the cold air-conditioned corridor. The baby was placed in his mother's arms, who eased the blanket back so that she could look at her child for the first time.
She took one look at her baby's face and looked to her husband and gasped, “Oh, Honey! Look! He has your ears!”
No problem with Mom. She married those ears...and she loves the man to whom they are attached.
The poet Kahlil Gibran said, “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” It's hard to see the ears when you're looking into the light.
【小题1】When the father first saw his baby, he was worried that________.

A.The baby might not grow up healthily.
B.The baby might be laughed at by others.
C.The baby might disappoint its mother.
D.the baby might have mental problems.
【小题2】According to the doctor and nurse, the baby’s ears________.
A.could not function well.
B.looked the same as others.
C.only caused a small problem.
D.needed to have plastic surgery.
【小题3】What is true about the baby’s mother?
A.She blamed her husband for the baby’s big ears.
B.She was the first to discover the baby’s large ears.
C.She suggested having an operation on the baby immediately.
D.She found something similar between the baby and its father.
【小题4】What does the underlined word they refer to in the last but on paragraph(倒数第2段)?
A.The ears.B.The parents.C.The doctor and nurse.D.The problems
【小题5】What’s the function of the last paragraph?
A.To advise readers to listen carefully.
B.To draw a conclusion from the story.
C.To criticize the wrong attitude to physical beauty.
D.To stress the importance of doctor-patient relationship.

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.

The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong.

I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?”“Twenty pounds,”I said. “OK,”he said. “I'll give you twenty pounds.”“It's got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it's nothing.”

Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.”“I'll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean?” “You've just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I've changed my mind. I am sorry. I'll give you twenty seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You're right,”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,‘Would you mend this chair for me?’”“I wouldn't have agreed to do it,”he said. “We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I'll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver(五英镑钞票)?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

1.We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_________.

2.The underlined word “approach” in the second paragraph means _________.

A.changed his mind                       B.accepted the offer

C.saw the writer's purpose                  D.decided to help the writer

4.How much did the writer pay?

A.£5.             B.£7.              C.£20.             D.£27.

5.From the text, we can learn that the writer was _________.
