The English are famous for their manners． The phrase, “Manners maketh the man” was coined by Englishman William of Wykeham back in 1324, but they’re just as important today． Books are written on the subject, advice columns in magazines tell people how to behave, and “finishing schools” still exist to ensure that young girls become young “l(fā)adies”．
The best example of English manners is in their mastery of the art of forming a queue． It is a popular joke in England （the land of sporting failures） to say, “if only queuing was an Olympic sport, we’d win hands down．” No one knows exactly how and when it started, but queuing plays an important role in the English social make-up． School children are taught to queue for roll-call, assembly and lunch, and English people across the land form orderly queues at shops, banks, cinemas and bus-stops every day． The English obviously aren’t the only people who queue, but they seem to do it better than anyone else． As one visitor said, “I have travelled across Europe, the Middle and Far East and nowhere have I seen the single-file queues which are formed in England．”
The English are also famously polite when it comes to language． Whereas many other notions are more direct in their communication, the English prefer a more indirect form of asking for things． For example, an American who wants to talk to a colleague might say, “Got a minute?”; however an English person will often use a more indirect means might of requesting the chat, “Sorry to bother you, but would you possibly have a minute or so to have a quick chat if you don’t mind, please?”
The English also love to apologize for things． When squeezing past someone, people say “sorry”． And they will apologize if you bump into them, “whoops! Sorry! My fault．” In fact, no one seems to say “sorry” as much as the English: “sorry I’m late． /Sorry I forgot to call you last night．/I’m sorry you didn’t get the e-mail．” And so on． They also like to use “please” and “thank you” a lot． In a shop, they will say, “I’d like a packet of crisp, please． Thanks．” British students thank their lectures, and bosses often thank their employees for doing their jobs．
【小題1】 Why does “finishing schools” still exist to help young girls become “l(fā)adies”?

A．Because the English mind their manners very much．
B．Because the English parents want to marry their daughters to the royal family．
C．Because the English girls are so rude that they need to be taught to be polite．
D．Because the English government ensures their existence．
【小題2】The underlined sentence in paragraph2 implies ________________．
A．The English love the Olympics very much．
B．The English spend nothing winning an Olympic medal．
C．The English are best at queuing．
D．The English prefer to queue with their hands down．
【小題3】 According to the passage, if Americans say “Waiter! Could I have another fork, please?” how will the English express such a meaning?
A．Excuse me! Give me another fork, please!
B．Excuse me! I have to be a bother, but would you mind awfully changing this fork, please?
C．Hi! Would you mind giving me another fork?
D．Waiter! Come here and change the fork!
【小題4】According to the passage, why do the employers often thank their employees for doing their jobs?
A．The employees can bring them a lot of benefits．
B．The employees finish their jobs perfectly．
C．The English employers’ good manners lead them to do so．
D．The employers do it as a result of the company’s regulation．

You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation（撤離）of an island nation—the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.
During the 20th century , sea level rose 8—12 inches. As a result ,Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country’s drinking water.
Paani Laupepa , a Tuvaluan government official ,reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years .Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.
Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions（導(dǎo)致溫室效應(yīng)的氣體排放）,which are a main cause of global warming . “By refusing to sign the agreement ,the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC.
Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries .
Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable （易受影響的）to rising sea levels .Maumoon Gayoon ,president of the Maldives ,told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.
【小題1】The text is mainly about           .

A．rapid changes in earth’s temperature
B．bad effects of global warming
C．moving of a country to a new place
D．reasons for lowland flooding
【小題2】According to scientists ,the direct cause of more and fiercer storms is           .
A．greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations
B．higher surface water temperatures of the sea
C．continuous global warming
D．rising sea levels
【小題3】Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not        .
A．a(chǎn)gree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions
B．sign an agreement with Tuvalu
C．a(chǎn)llow Tuvaluans to move to the US
D．believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real

It’s a sure sign that summer is over and winter is on the way — leaves that were once deep green turn red, yellow and bright orange. It happens every autumn. But did you ever wonder why?
The leaves start changing color when the nights start getting longer and the temperature starts getting cooler. Some scientists think that as the number of daylight hours shrinks, the leaves stop making chlorophyll which makes plants green. The reason is that the process of making chlorophyll requires sunlight. But according to horticulture (園藝) educator Susan Rose from Colorado State University, it turns out leaves don’t really change color at all. “The fall colors are actually there all along,” she said. “But they are covered by the green chlorophyll. As the chlorophyll stops being produced, the other colors can shine through.”
The kind of color that the leaves are going to change to is determined by the plant’s genetic (基因的) background. In some places, the leaves start changing color in September — before autumn even officially begins. In other places, they don’t change until late October or even November. Some scientists say the leaves have been changing color later than usual in recent years. And they think global warming has something to do with that.
In one study, researchers found that the growing season in the Northern Hemisphere was nearly a week longer, on average, in 2008 than it was in 1982. And a professor from Harvard University found that the leaves, west of Boston, Massachusetts, are changing color about three days later than they used to. However, other scientists disagree with the global warming theory. Susan Rose said the leaves in her part of Colorado are changing “right on schedule.” But the leaves in other parts of that state are running a little late. “The lateness in the mountains may have something to do with the really warm late summer and early fall,” she said. “But I’m afraid that’s just a guess.”
【小題1】According to Susan Rose, _____.

A．the fall colors are always in leaves
B．leaves make chlorophyll all the seasons
C．leaves’ changing color have nothing to with the weather
D．leaves begin changing color because they start making chlorophyll
【小題2】The underlined word “shrinks” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _____.
A．reducesB．increasesC．lastsD．a(chǎn)ppears
【小題3】Scientists guess leaves change color later than usual probably as a result of _____.
A．genetic background B．dry weather
C．global warmingD．low temperature
【小題4】The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell readers _____.
A．why leaves change color at fall
B．leaves change color at different time
C．the effects of the global warming on plants
D．different opinions on the lateness of leaves’ changing color

I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such an attractive, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
　　Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.
　　Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”.
But in memoir（回憶錄） after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.
The way people stick to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, and self-improvement.
【小題1】What does the author want to tell us? He wants to tell us             .

A．he lives in Hollywood, so he feels not happy
B．the true meaning of happiness
C．in fact, famous people are not very happy
D．happiness is not equal to fun
【小題2】What is many intelligent people’s viewpoint about happiness?
A．Happiness just means having fun.B．Happiness is not equal to fun.
C．Happiness means doing what you like.D．Happiness means being rich.
【小題3】What does the underlined word “equate” in the second paragraph mean? It means    .
A．compareB．think
C．similar or connectedD．match
【小題4】According to the passage, the author may agree        .
A．a(chǎn)musement park can bring us happiness
B．fun will bring some happiness to us
C．pain will bring us happiness
D．efforts can bring us happiness
