manners are very important in every country，but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior.what is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another.chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in england.when an englishman paes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk.he may just nod，say “hello” and so on.if two friends do stop to talk，they do not shake hands.it is only at parties for young people(students，for instance)that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself.on more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host，hoste or another guest who he already knows.at even a formal dinner an englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink.the english reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions.in these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech，for example，at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring.after a private dinner in someone’s house an englishman will only shake hands with the host and hoste if it is a fairly formal occasion，like a busine dinner，and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.luckily，like chinese people，the english usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette.but even so，perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student，no matter what country he is visiting，is to follow the old proverb: when in rome，do as the romans do.B

Contacts(交往)between Japan and the rest of the world have grown a great deal in the twentieth century.In the last thirty years, busine contacts between Japan and the West have become very important.Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businemen do busine around the world.Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing busine, however, often bewilder the foreign busineman and make doing busine in Japan difficult for foreigners.The American busineman, for example, wants to start talking busine immediately.He wants quick decisions.He does not wait.The Japanese, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions gradually after giving them a great deal of thought.Another thing foreign businemen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”.This is because of cultural difference between Japanese and western society which makes it difficult for a Japanese to say “No” directly.In English, it is easy to say “No” to something we do not want to do.But in Japan it is very difficult to say “No”.To refuse an invitation or a request with “No”, or a similar phrase, is felt to be impolite.It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly.So instead of saying “No”.These enable them to avoid hurting other people’s feelings.However, this often makes communication with the Japanese difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.1．Paragraph one tells us that

More than 50,000,000 people live in the rainforest of the world and most of them do not hurt the forest they live in.They eat the fruits on the forest trees, but they do not cut them down.They kill some animals to eat, but they do not destroy(破坏)them.When we cut down the rainforests, we destroy these forest people, too.In 1900, there were 1,000,000 forest people in the Amazon forest.In 1980, there were only 200,000.The Yanomami live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil.They have lived in the rainforest for about 10,000 years and they use more than 2,000 different plants for food and for medicine.But in 1988, someone found gold in their forest, and suddenly 45,000 people came to the forest and began looking for gold.They cut down the forest to make roads.They made more than a hundred airports.The Yanomami people lost land and food.Many died because new diseases came to the forest with the strangers.The Yanomami people tried to save their forest, because it was their home.But the people who wanted gold were stronger.Many forest people try to save their forests.Chico Mendes was famous in Brazil because he wanted to keep the forest for his people.“I want the Amazon forest to help all of us – forest people, Brazil, and all the Earth, ” he said.A few months later, in December 1988, people who wanted to cut down the forest killed Chico Mendes.In Borneo, people were cutting down the forest of the Penan people to sell the wood.The Penan people tried to save their rainforest.They made blockades(障碍)acro the roads into the forest.In 1987, they closed fifteen roads for eight months.No one cut down any trees during that time.In Panama, the Kuna people saved their forest.They made a forest park which tourists pay to visit.The Gavioes people of Brazil use the forest, but they protect it as well.They find and sell the Brazil nuts which grow on the forest trees.D

when a japanese friend of mine first visited britain ａnd first saw a british map of the world, he was very surprised by what he found.at first, the picture seemed familiar（熟悉）: in the middle of the map, there were two ｏr three small but long red islands lying between an ocean ａnd a continent, but something was wrong: land ma ａnd ocean had changed places.it wasn’t japan he was looking at, it was the british isles.japan was out on the edge somewhere.until that moment all the maps he had known had set japan in the middle of the picture ａnd had coloured it red;yet when he got to britain, he found that the country in the middle of the map was britain ａnd that is, too, was painted red.what my friend had found was a displacement(变化)of his country, ａnd therefore, of himself as well.that is to say, his country was no longer in its familiar place ａnd he no longer knew ｗhere he stood;he was disoriented.our sense of ourselves ａnd our place in the world may not, as my friend’s experience suggests, come ｆrom anything real ｏr actual, fｏr no country is in the middle of the globe, except as a picture in the mind.a map is only a model in which we may set ourselves;it just helps us to feel that we know ｗhere we are.A

Although American informality(不拘礼节)is well known, many new visitor think that it indicates a “lack of respect”.This is especially true in the busine world.Americans often use names upon meeting a stranger and do not always shake hands.They often just smile and say “Hi” or “hello”, rather than using a more formal hand shake.It is good to remember that to an American such an informal greeting really means the same thing as a more formal hand shake someplace else.Similarly, Americans do not usually give a special “farewell” or hand shake to each person when they leave a party of busine meeting.They will often just wave when they leave a party of busine meeting.They will often just wave good-bye to the whole group and perhaps say, “Well, so long everybody, I’ll see you tomorrow.” They then will leave.No hand shakes.Americans seem either totally hurried and hard-working or totally informal and at ease.Often you will see men working at office desks without their chairs and even put their feet up on the desk while they talk on the telephone.This is not meant to be rude.Once Americans leave the busy streets, they are easy and informal.A visitor to the United States should therefore understand that being in a great hurry does not indicate unfriendline and being informal and being at ease does not show a lack of respect.Americans have a great range of customs and habits that at first may seem puzzling to a visitor.In time you will learn these new ways.C

The curious young lady asked the Minister to tell her what had happened at the King’s palace.“Oh, nothing important,” answered the Minister.“The ambaador of Brazil, who was to be presented to the King, forgot to take his credentials with him and was obliged to go back to his hotel to bring them.If he had left them in Brazil we should have had to wait at least six months for them.”

There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy.One way is the greater production of common energy sources, such as coal, oil and gas.The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.Another way is energy conservation(节能), which means using energy more efficiently.In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy.They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in.The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop.One form of these is geothermal energy.In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometer down.At six kilometers, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees.To get the heat, water is pumped(压;抽)down into the rocks and back up to the surface.Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.B

Education is not an end, but a means to an end.In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them.Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all—whether rich or poor, clever or stupid—one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation.But we can already see that free education for all is not enough;we find in such countries a far large number of people with university degrees, they refuse to do what they think “low” work, and ,in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a profeor, we can live without education, but we die if we have no food.If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns…

In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life , it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and , secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are neceary to society and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work.Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.D
