     We know good manners are important. Today I am going to tell you something about manners in
different countries. I think you already know that people in different countries usually have different ways
of doing things. Something that is rude in one country may be quite polite in another. For example, in
Britain you mustn't lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having liquid food. That is considered bad
manners in Britain. But in Japan you needn't worry about making a noise when you drink something. It
shows that you are enjoying it. In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. In
Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. In Arabic
countries we must be careful with our hands. You see, in Arabic countries you mustn't eat with your left
hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country? Well,
you needn't worry. You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and
try to do what they do.
1. In Arabic countries you must be careful with your _____.

閱讀理解

　　Languages keeps evolving(進(jìn)化、發(fā)展), and English is no exception．It is a language that embraces(欣然接受)new words that may be cool today but gone tomorrow．

　　There are, however, some words and phrases that have stood the test of time．OK, which has become the international standard for expressing agreement, is a good example．

　　But why is this rather odd(奇怪的)expression so popular and so useful when we could use any number of other words to say the same thing?

　　Writing in The Times, Allen Metcalf, author of OK：The Improbable Story of America’s Greatest Word, writes：“What OK provided that the others did not was neutrality(中性), a way to express agreement without having to offer an opinion．”

　　For example, if someone asks you “Shall we go for a walk after lunch?” you can simply respond “OK”．There you go－no extra opinions．Just straight, plain old OK．

　　So just where did this rather curious expression come from? The origins of OK have been widely disputed(辯論，爭論)．Some people have guessed that OK was the name of a person or a product．

　　Speakers of many different languages have had their say on this question, keen to claim the term as their own．

　　Writing an article for London’s Metro newspaper, Metcalf states：‘O and K are present in every language of the world, as expressions that can be abbreviated(縮寫)OK．” For example：French－“O qu-oui”, “yes indeed”; German－“Ohne Korrektur”,“ without correction needed”; and in Latin or Greek, “Olla kalla”, “all good”．

　　But, does it sound a little too informal with this popular little expression?

　　Apparently not．

　　In a speech where he stated that his election(當(dāng)選)would not be a radical(激進(jìn)的)result to all problems, President Obama said：“…even though I am president…, AI-Qaida is still a threat(威脅)and that we cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything’s going to be OK,” he said．

　　So, there you go, straight from the president．It’s OK to say OK, and thanks to the expression’s widespread usage across the world, you can be understood anywhere．

(1)

Using the example of Obama, the author wants to show that _________．

[　　]

A．

there is still a long way to go to defeat Al-Qaida

B．

Obama likes to use OK when he speaks

C．

OK is widely used even on formal occasions

D．

the use of OK is encouraged in formal speech

(2)

According to Allen Metcalf, OK differs from other terms to express agreement, which of the following opinions is true?

[　　]

A．

It is easiest way to say．

B．

It doesn’t need emotion．

C．

It is the most commonly used．

D．

It doesn’t use in the formal speech．

(3)

What is the best title for the passage?

[　　]

A．

Why OK is OK everywhere?

B．

It’s OK to say OK in the world．

C．

Where did OK come from?

D．

Everything is going to be OK．

     Laptops are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These
laptops connect people to their workplaces. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their
classrooms.
     West Lake College in Virginia will start a laptop program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere
they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part
of the 510 million computer programs at West Lake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also
have access (通路) to the Internet. In addition (另外), they will be able to use e-mails to "speak" with their
teachers, their classmates and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that
students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a
fast-food restaurant or under the trees. Anywhere is OK!
     Because of many changes in computer technology, laptops are widely used in higher education, such as
colleges and universities. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers.
In addition, the portable (便攜式的) computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries
and other resources (資源). State higher-education officials are studying how to help students. State officials are
also testing laptop programs at other universities.
     At West Lake College, more than 60 percent of the staff (員工) use computers. The laptops will allow all
teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one West Lake teacher said, here we are in the middle of Virginia
and we're giving students a window of the world. They can see everything and do everything.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷正(T)誤(F)。
(     ) 1. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to work at home.
(     ) 2. West Lake College is an old college in the U.K.
(     ) 3. The laptop program is helpful to the students.
(     ) 4. A window of the world in the last paragraph means that the students can get information from all over
            the world.
(     ) 5. We don't know the result about the laptop program yet.
