It might sound crazy, but this is exactly what millions of people have done whilst participating in an activity known as couch surfing.

Couch surfing is traveling on a budget, using a broad network of contacts in order to get overnight accommodation for free, or at as little cost as possible. Participants join dedicated(专业的) websites, providing as much information about themselves as possible in order to make others feel comfortable hosting them, or using them as a host.

Various safety features are generally available in such online networks, like verification of names and addresses, personal references, and 'vouching for' a particular member as a reliable host or guest.

As well as the financial advantages of couch surfing, participants also claim that the practice gives them a more unique, authentic travel experience, allowing them to experience culture and cuisine through the locals, rather than from the confines of sanitized tourist accommodation. We open our minds and lives and welcome the knowledge that becomes available through cultural exchange.” Said Casey Fenton, founder of Couch Surfing. Com. “CouchSurfing wants to change not only the way we travel, but how we relate to the world.”

　　So now you have a drink, but what about meeting the locals? Pub－goers will indicate in unspoken ways if they are interested in chatting．Pay attention to those who have bought drinks and are still wandering at the bar．Those who have moved to sit at tables are probably not seeking someone to talk to．Look for people with “open” body language, facing outwards and looking around the room．Don't ever introduce yourself with an outstretched hand and a big smile．Natives will not feel comfortable at this situation．The British, quite frankly, do not want to know your name and shake your hand, or at least not until a proper degree of mutual interest has been well established(建立)．

　　Talk generally about the weather, the beer, or the pub(酒店)and at a proper moment, offer your newfound companion a drink．This exchange is the key to feeling part of the pub-goers and getting to know more about Britain than its tourist spots．The ritual of sharing－buying rounds of drinks in turn－is of great importance．This is because the British males are frightened of getting too close to each other．They find it difficult to express friendly interest in other males and they can be somewhat aggressive(侵犯的)in their manner．

　　If you are having British friends or discussing business contracts, one of your hosts will probably buy the first round, and you should be quick to offer the next．The right time to offer to buy a drink is when their glasses are still a quarter full．The words “It's my round－What are you having?” may not be in your phrase book, but it is one of the most useful sentences in the English language．

(1)

The article was written to ________．
[　　]
A．	advertise British pubs
B．	introduce drinking in Britain
C．	tell how to make friends
D．	relate what to talk with strangers

(2)

Which of the following is true according to the passage?
[　　]
A．	In a business gathering, the host will probably buy the first round．
B．	The other party would buy a drink when the host drinks to the bottom up．
C．	Buying rounds of drinks in turn is not so often in a party．
D．	The most common topic in talk is discussing business．

(3)

Which are not proper manners in meeting the British locals? a．Tell your name when meeting others． b．Shake hands warmly with strangers． c．Stand quite close to others． d．Talk to others with a big smile． e．Talk about weather with strangers．
[　　]
A．	bcde
B．	acde
C．	abde
D．	abcd

(4)

It is implied in the passage that ________．
[　　]
A．	pub－goers are all easy to chat with
B．	British drinking customs are unacceptable
C．	proper manners are important in pubs
D．	it is quite difficult to make friends with British males

　　That's-exactly what students at Shanghai Jianping High School do．One fourth of their texts are widely taken from works by authors such as Zhou Guoping, Lin Yutang, Francis Bacon, or even written by their fellow students．

　　“We’re fascinated with these new articles because they were chosen by people of our age and most of the pieces relate to our lives,”said Hu Mengchun, 17．

　　Chen Dui, 18, loves Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore．Two years ago, she wrote a report on the poet’s works Stray Bird．Last term she gave a lecture to the lower grades on it and shared her experience on how to enjoy Tagore' s poems．

　　However, Senior 1 Hu Yang argues that their Chinese readings are still not enough．

　　“I hope to read some passages from novels or articles by young authors born in the 1980s such as Han Han, Guo Jingming and Min Xiaoxi,”she said．

　　“Some lyrics by Lin Xi and Vincent Fang, who often write for Jay Chou’s songs, are also great．”Hu added．
