In 2012, the Tower of London welcomed two new inhabitants: a pair of ravens(烏鴉) named Jubilee and Grip. Their arrival celebrated the bicentenary(二百周年) of Charles Dickens’s birth. This Grip was the third of the Tower ravens to be named after the novelist’s own pet birD. One of his predecessors(前輩) was resident during World War Two; he and his mate Mabel were the only ravens to survive a bombing attack on the Tower.

Dickens’s Grip, who had an impressive vocabulary, appears as a character in the author’s fifth novel, Barnaby Rudge. On 28 January 1841, Dickens wrote to his friend George Cattermole: “my notion is to have [Barnaby] always in company with a pet raven, who is immeasurably more knowing than himself. To this end I have been studying my bird, and think I could make a very distinctive character of him.”

Unfortunately, just a few weeks after Dickens wrote that letter, Grip died, probably as a result of having stolen and eaten paint some months earlier. The bird had developed a strange habit – tearing sections off painted surfaces (including the family's carriage) and even drinking a quantity of white paint out of a tin. Dickens mourned his loss and wrote a humorous letter to his friend, the illustrator Daniel Maclise, about the raven’s death.

He related how, when Grip began to show signs of sickness, the vet was called and “administered a powerful dose of castor(蓖麻) oil”. Initially this seemed to have a positive effect and the author was thrilled to see Grip restored to his usual personality when he bit the coachman (who was used to the raven and took it in good humor). The following morning, Grip was able to eat “some warm porridge”, but his recovery was short liveD.

As Dickens wrote to Maclise, “On the clock striking twelve he appeared slightly upset, but soon recovered, walking twice or thrice along the coach-house, stopped to bark, exclaimed ‘Hello old girl’ (his favorite expression) and dieD. He behaved throughout with a decent manner, which cannot be too much admireD. .. The children seem rather glad of it. He bit their ankles. But that was play.”

1.Which of the following is right about Dickens’s pet Grip?

A. he liked painting a lot.

B. he could speak English fluently.

C. he was quite ill before his death.

D. he and Mabel survived a bombing attack.

2.Why did Dickens study his bird Grip?

A. Because the bird was very strange looking.

B. Because Dickens liked the bird immeasurably.

C. Because Barnaby needs a companion who was always with him.

D. Because Dickens wanted to base one character of his novel on him.

3.What caused the death of Dickens’s Grip?

A. His old age.

B. His strange diet.

C. The killing of the coachman.

D. His bad habit of biting people.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. A bird in a novel.

B. The writer’s birD.

C. The death of a birD.

D. Dickens and his bird

Here is some must?know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.

In Brazil

Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible,with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe,be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social,preferring face?to?face communication over emails or phone calls.

In Singapore

Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small,polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal,so meetings and dealings often are fast?paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions,even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines how people interact in meetings. For example,people avoid disagreeing outright with someone of a higher rank.

In the United Arab Emirates

In the UAE,status is important,so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So do not pull away from the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes,but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one?to?one,if your host offers you coffee,you should refuse. It might seem odd,but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented.

In Switzerland

The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality(守時) is vital,something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher?ups make the final decisions,even if others might disagree. Neat,clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.

1.The passage is mainly about___________

A. communication types

B. the workplace atmosphere

C. customs and social manners

D. living conditions and standards

2.Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?

A. They put efficiency in the first place.

B. They dislike face?to?face communication.

C. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.

D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.

3.In the UAE,when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?

A. When greeting seniors.

B. When meeting the host alone.

C. When attending a presentation.

D. When dining with business partners.

4.In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?

A. In Brazil.

B. In Singapore.

C. In the United Arab Emirates.

D. In Switzerland.
