All over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners. Other children may have manners that are not like yours. There are all kinds of manners.

Many years ago, children who had good manners were seen and not heard. They kept quite quiet if grown?ups were talking. Today, well?mannered children have more freedom.

Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.

Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp(打嗝)” after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food.

In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say, “Excuse me, please.”

In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating together.People show good manners by turning their backs to others while they eat.

What are manners like in an East African town? People try not to see you.They are being polite.You may see a friend. He may not see you at all.If you are polite, you will sit down beside him.You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.

Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia.You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of the other tents, you will be asked into each one.People will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no.

Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends.

1.People turn their backs to others while they eat in some places in ________.

A．Mongolia B．an East African town

Lincoln Park

With its many fashion shops and coffee shops，Lincoln Park is also a wonderful part of Chicago which is a delight for people to visit.The Chicago History Museum shows typical Americas，and then of course there's the park itself.Facing Lake Michigan，it offers beaches，wildlife signs and Lincoln Park Zoo，where you can see gorillas(大猩猩) and polar bears free of charge.

Lombard－Oak Brook

Unlike many parts in Washington DC and New York，Lombard in Chicago is an old-fashioned suburb which shows the traditional attraction of old-time America.It's known for its every year's Lilac Festival(丁香节)，and for the“Little Orphan Annie”house，where the red-headed character was dreamt up by Harold Gray.The nearby village of Oak Brook is even more pleasant，and known for its golf courses and polo(水球)club.

Forming part of the always busy Michigan Avenue，Magnificent Mile is the place to shop in Chicago.Fashion shops，supermarket department stores，and smart restaurants make it a must-visit.And places to look out for include the epic(史诗的)Wrigley Building and the Chicago Water Tower，one of the few buildings to survive the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.The nearby River North district is well known for its many art galleries.

The Loop－Downtown

Home to the Civic Opera House，the Goodman Theatre，and the Art Institute of Chicago，where American masterpieces can be found alongside Old Masters，the Loop is worth visiting just for the streets alone.Look up at some of the USA's most famous skyscrapers(摩天大楼)，and there is Grant Park－a wonderful place with the huge Buckingham Fountain at its centre.

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。

External bleeding.Apply direct pressure.Place a clean，folded cloth over the injured area and firmly apply pressure.If blood soaks through，do not remove it.Instead，cover that cloth with another one and continue to apply pressure to the wound for 7－10 minutes.If the bleeding is from the ear，place a clean bandage over the ear，lay the victim on his side，and allow the blood to drain out through the bandage.

Elevate the injury.Position the wounded part of the body above the level of the heart if possible while you apply direct pressure.

Know the pressure points.If direct pressure and elevation don't sufficiently slow the bloodflow，find a pressure point.Large arteries(动脉)found close to the skin's surface supply blood to the head and to each arm and leg.The most common pressure points used during the first aid are located in the upper arms and in the creases above the upper legs.Apply pressure to the closest pressure point to the wound so that the artery is pressed between your fingers and the bone directly behind the artery.If using the pressure point on a leg，you may need to use the heel of your hand instead of your fingers.

Resort to a tourniquet(止血带，压脉器)．On very rare occasions everything listed above may fail.To prevent the victim from dying，you should apply a tourniquet.Once a tourniquet is applied，it should not be loosened or removed until the victim has reached medical help.Use a tourniquet only if everything listed above has failed.If you use a tourniquet，write down somewhere on the victim the time when it was applied，so medical persons will know how long it has been in place.

Most teenagers in the United States spend their time trying to make time for school，family and friends.But some choose bigger goals.

At age 15，Winter Vinecki has already had more successes than most people have in their lifetime.“I recently completed a marathon on all seven continents and became the youngest person in the world to do so.And I was really doing this for my dad.”

Doctors discovered that Winter's father had a rare and deadly form of prostate(前列腺)cancer when she was nine years old.Then he died 10 months later.“When he was first diagnosed(诊断)with prostate cancer I immediately knew I had to do something to help him.That's when I formed Team Winter for prostate cancer research and awareness.”

Through Team Winter and social media，Winter Vinecki has raised almost 500，000 dollars.She has taken prostate cancer education worldwide through foot races called marathons，on seven continents.In the United States she travels continually to talk about prostate cancer and urge others to act.

Winter Vinecki attended a conference recently in Los Angeles，California and spoke at the conference as one of several teenagers who spoke about young people who were living extraordinary lives.

“So prostate cancer is much more common but men don't want to talk about it.So that is why a ten-year-old girl had to go out there and start talking about it for them.”

Another speaker was Jack Andraka who invented a sensor which is not as expensive as traditional equipment that can't be afforded by most common people.It can identify cancers of the pancreas(胰腺)and lungs.He was 15 at the time.

Jack is now 17 and seeking patents(专利)for his latest inventions.He has developed low-cost water quality equipment which can help identify and remove heavy metals and poisonous chemicals from water.
