Different countries have different customs. When you travel to another country, please follow their customs, just as the saying goes, “           . ”
Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip (付小費). It is usual to tip porters who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.

閱讀短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。(共10分,每小題2分)

One thing Britain is famous for its pubs(酒吧), and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country.
Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country. They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.
There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter(苦啤酒), or ale, and is usually served at room temperature. As a result, the British are famous for their ‘warm beer’! If you prefer a cold beer, ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in colour whereas bitter is usually a darker brown. All beers are served as pints (500 ml) or halves (250ml). To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer. So, you could say “A pint of bitter, please.”
Another drink is cider(蘋果酒). This is like beer, but it is made from apples so it can taste sweet. Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits(烈性酒) such as whisky, gin or vodka(伏特加).
It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol. Non-alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others.
If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your ‘round’. This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake! Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.
So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, “cheers!”
小題1:Are pubs one famous thing in Britain?
小題2:What are pubs?
小題3:How many kind of drinks are there in the pubs?
小題4:What’s needed if you are in a group?
小題5:What are the main points about pubs in this passage?

When I was a foreign teacher in China,every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China.One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”.I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers,nor had their mothers said it to them.“Does your mom love you?” “Of course,”they answered.
“How do you know it?” was my logical question.They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring.I was strummed. So mom's cooking and criticizing read out as “I love you”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough,so I repeated these queries in classes over time.Gradually,I began to get different responses.Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl.When she came home from university,her mother met her at the door and hugged(擁抱)her.This had never happened before,but her mom said,“Now that you have gone I have more time to myself.”I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot.While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment,and it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
小題1:The foreign teacher _________.
A.comes from AmericaB.is a young woman
C.is expressive enoughD.knows much about China
小題2:Chinese students prefer to show love by __________.

C.She is glad that she has more time to herself.
D.She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
小題4:In paragraph 5, what can we know from the sentence “ In my family we all say ‘I love you’ a lot” ?
A.“I love you.” is a daily greeting.
B.“ Love” is the most important word in our country.
C.They worry about each other.
D.“I love you” are the last words we say or hear from those we love.
小題5:What's the main idea of the passage?
