21、阅读理解。
All over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners. Other children may have manners that are not like yours. There are all kinds of manners.
Many years ago, children who had good manners were seen and not heard. They kept quite quiet if grownups were talking. Today, wellmannered children have more freedom.
Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.
Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp(打嗝)” after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food.
In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say, “Excuse me, please.”
In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating together.People show good manners by turning their backs to others while they eat.
What are manners like in an East African town? People try not to see you.They are being polite.You may see a friend. He may not see you at all.If you are polite, you will sit down beside him.You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.
Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia.You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of the other tents, you will be asked into each one.People will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no.
Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends.
【1】People turn their backs to others while they eat in some places in ________.

22、 30 St Mary Axe, commonly known as the Gherkin, was designed by internationally noted architect, Lord Norman Foster. Built in 2004, London’s first environmentally sustainable sky-scrapper was constructed for Swiss-Re, the largest re-insurance company in the world. The Gherkin, which is the sixth tallest building in London, was sold for over ￡600 million in 2007, making it the most expensive location in Britain to have an office. Since its completion, 30 St Mary Axe has won many architectural awards including in 2004 the Royal Institute of British Architects Stirling Prize and in 2006 the BD World Architecture the “most admired new building in the world”.
Lying in the heart of the city, Foster’s building is on the site of London’s historic Baltic Exchange which was severely damaged in 1992. Constructed exactly 100 years before completion of the Gherkin, surviving parts of the Baltic Exchange building were sold and are being re-constructed in Tallinn, the capital of the Baltic country Estonia. The Baltic Exchange, which trades in the sale of merchant vessels and transportation of industrial bulk commodities and originates back to 1744, was started by ship owners and brokers meeting in a coffee house.
At the top of the Gherkin, on the 40th floor, there is a private bar featuring a 360° panoramic view of London. Despite the building being rounded, the “lens” (镜头) shaped glass roof above the bar is the only curved glass in the building, and is similar in design to the glass dome which covered part of the ground floor of the old Baltic Exchange.
The smooth clean lines of the building cover a high tech and environmentally designed interior. To reach the roof bar there is a hydraulic lift, pushed from below, which doesn’t require any machinery above it. Double-glassed gaps in each floor create vertical corridors that help keep warm in the winter and improve air flow in the summer. This, coupled with all the natural light flooding in through the windows, results in the building needing much less energy.
【1】What can we know from the first paragraph?
A.Foster isn’t an English architect.
B.The Gherkin is very famous in the world.
C.The Gherkin is the tallest building in London.
D.The Gherkin is the first sky-scrapper in London.
【2】When was the Baltic Exchange building constructed?
A.In the mid-19th century. B.In the late 19th century.
C.In the early 20th century. D.In the mid-20th century.
【3】What is at the top of the Gherkin?
A.A coffee house. B.The Baltic Exchange.
C.A private bar. D.A private office.
【4】How does the Gherkin manage to save energy?
A.By being equipped with double glass.
B.By stopping people using electricity.
C.By opening all the windows in the summer.
D.By asking people to use less air-conditioning.

24、 A primary school in County Cork, Ireland, has decided to do away with all homework for the entire month of December, replacing it instead with acts of kindness.
For the third year in a row, students at Gaelscoil Mhíchíl Uí Choileáin will not have any homework for the month of December. Instead, they are being asked to undertake acts of kindness for friends, family and the community — and to record these in a special “Kindness Diary” which each student will fill in daily and then get signed by their parents.
“Building on the overwhelming success and positivity of last year’s Gratitude Diaries, when children and their families documented the small things they were grateful for in their lives, this year they are asked to undertake little acts of kindness that could make a big difference in somebody’s life,” Vice Principal Íde Ní Mhuirí said.
The school suggests doing something nice for an elderly neighbor, or performing an act of kindness for a relative or friend who may be feeling lonely, but the act can be anything as long as it brightens someone’s day.
Alongside this Kindness Diary initiative (倡议), there will be a kindness bucket in school, where the children can place kind observations about their peers which will boost the self-respect of those around them. Each Friday morning at the gathering a random selection of these observations will be shared to stress how small acts and kind words can make huge differences in somebody’s life. And finally, each class will put their heads together and come up with a class-wide project which can help the community.
“In this world, consumed by social media, where our young people are constantly experiencing pressure, there is no better way to show them the way forward in the world than by practicing kindness,” Íde Ní Mhuirí said.
【1】What does the school require the pupils to do this December?
A．Keep a diary of their daily lives.
B．Show kindness to someone else.
C．Express their gratitude to others.
D．Finish their homework on time.
【2】What Does the Vice Principal think of the Gratitude Diary?
A．It needs improving.
B．It ended in failure.
C．It is quite satisfactory.
D．It will be continued.
【3】Why are the students encouraged to make kind observations about each other?
A．To monitor their behaviour.
B．To evaluate their moral character.
C．To share their ways of dealing with stress.
D．To give them a sense of pride and importance.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A．Homework or Acts of Kindness?
B．How to Make a Big Difference in Life?
C．Irish School Relieves students of Homework.
D．Irish School Replaces Homework with Acts of Kindness.
