    A

    My friend Robert started a new job this week and he’s been in the training class for two days. The employer has a very strict dress code—dark blue shirts and pants.

    On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn’t have the right clothes the next day. He explained, “Sir, I had not been told about this. Because of my larger size, it’s sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price I can afford.”

    Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn’t lose the chance of work simply because he couldn’t afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in case it was needed.

    When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. “You have 10 minutes to be in proper clothes,” he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have 10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.

    The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn’t accept such a gift from a stranger. Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收据) and couldn’t return them—a little white lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job.

    “My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn’t have enough to buy the clothes,” he told Robert. “It’s unbelievable to me that anybody would do such a thing for only knowing me a day!”

    More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.

    1.If the older man did not have the proper clothes, he would _____

    A．be punished

    B．be offered another job

    C．put off the training class

    D．lose his job

    2. The money which was paid for the clothes belonged to _____

    A．the trainer

    B．the older man

    C．the writer

    D．Robert

    3.How did Robert persuade the older man to accept the clothes?

    A．He told the older man that he would lose his job if he did not take them.

    B．He told a lie that the clothes didn’t fit himself.

    C．He told the older man that he could save money and return it later.

    D．He told the older man that he had no way to send them back.

    4.What might be the best title for the passage?

    A．Proper clothes for a stranger

    B．Fight against strict rules

    C．A strange employer

    D．An unbelievable thing

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A，B，C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　It's really true what people say about English politeness： it's everywhere．When squeezing past someone in a narrow passage, people say "sorry"．When getting off a bus, English passengers say "thank you" rather than the driver．In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things．After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job．I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite ways of interacting(交往)with people in UK．

    　　People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time．When people buy something in a shop, customer and retail assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more．In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation．British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room．English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough．

    　　Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others．Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism．It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable．This also is showed in other ways．British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men．However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted．

    (1)

    [　　]

    In Germany, employers often say "thank you" to employees for their job．

    C．

    German men never treat a woman to dinner．

    D．

    Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough．

    (3)

    We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men ________．

    [　　]

    are more likely to be involved in a fighting

    A．

    English drivers often say "thank you" to passengers when they get off the bus．

    B．

    In Germany, passengers sometimes say "thank you" to bus drivers．

    C．

    English people try to avoid criticizing others in the daily life．

    D．

    Germans are more considerate and polite than Englishmen．

    阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

    D

    Around the globe, the tourist trade is booming and you are promised to enjoy all the comfort and convenience of modern tourism. The first-class systems of communication by air, sea and land make it possible for us to visit each other’s countries at a moderate cost. What was once the ‘grand tour’, reserved for only the very rich, is now within most people’s grasp. The package tour and chartered flights (包机) are quite popular to us. Modern travelers enjoy a level of comfort which those on grand tours in the old days couldn’t have dreamed of. With all this coming and going, you would expect greater understanding to develop between the nations of the world. Not a bit of it! So what’s the sense of this mass exchange of populations if the nations of the world remain basically ignorant of each other? So there is a great misdirection in tourist business, especially in conducted tour items.

        Many tourist organizations are directly responsible for this state of affairs. They purposely set out to “protect” their passengers from too much contact with the local population. Modern tourists lead a protected and separated life. They live at international hotels, where they eats their international food and sips their international drink while gazing at the natives from a distance. Designed tours to places of interest are carefully arranged. The tourists are allowed to see only what the organizers want them to see and no more. A strict schedule makes it impossible for the tourists to wander off on their own; and anyway, language is always a barrier, so they might only be too happy to be protected in this way.

    At its very worst, this merely leads to a new and terrible kind of colonization. The sad thing about this situation is that it leads to the persistence of certain old ideas of other nations and countries. We don’t see the people of other nations as they really are, but as we have been brought up to believe what they are, even staying along with that from text books during our schooling.

    You can test this for yourself. Take five nationalities, say, French, German, English, American and Italian. Now in your mind, match them with these five adjectives: musical, emotional, cold, pedantic (爱追究的), native. Far from providing us with any insight into the national characteristics of the peoples just mentioned, these adjectives just actually act as barriers, for we can’t do the job with certainty. So, frequently, when you set out on your travels, the only characteristics you notice are those which confirm what you have already obtained as the first conceptions in your mind. And you get home only with the highly unoriginal and inaccurate impression, such as the saying, “Anglo-Saxons are hypocrites (伪君子)” and “Latin peoples shout a lot ”. However, to gain the real understanding, you only have to make a few foreign friends and you will know how ridiculousridiculous ridiculous ridiculous and harmful some old conceptions of other nations are. But how can you make foreign friends when the tourist trade does its best to prevent you?

         Being carried to an extreme, stereotypes can be positively dangerous. A very wild and limited outlook may stir up racial hatred and blind us to the basic fact — how reasonless it sounds! – that all people are human. We are all similar to each other, while at the same time all unique.

    What does “grand tour” bring people now?

    A. It only offers us reasonable cost.           B. It is the best way of modern tourism.

    C. It is not liked by rich people.          D. It is available for the majority to enjoy it.

    Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

       A. By travelling abroad, one can know a certain country well.

       B. Making friends is impossible for anyone staying abroad.

       C. The tourist organizations have the best way to do their duty.

       D. Traveling conditions are much more improved than before.

    Which word in the following is the best to summarize “Latin people shout a lot”?

    A. Silent.            B. Noisy.         C. Lively.             D. Active.

    The purpose of the author’s writing is to point out ______.

    A. conducted tour should be stopped    B. the way of touring should be changed

    C. gained knowledge can’t be renewed       D. some nations stay the same as before

    What is the author’s attitude toward the present tourism?

    A. Objective         B. Negative.           C. Critical.           D. Appreciative.

     The main idea for this passage is that ______.

    A. tourism does little to increase understanding between nations

    B. tourism is terrible without the work of the tourist organizations   

    C. conducted tour is so dull that nobody wants to accept it now

    D. tourism really does something wonderful to many countries
