1 . When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say “How do you do?” and shake hands. Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye. But they shake hands after they haven’t met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.

       Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.

4 . If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers (青少年). Today, many teenagers are becoming fat, and this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People often call this kind of food “junk food”.

But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers don’t have a good eating habit. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a healthy meal for lunch. In a recent survey (调查) at one school, scientists found that over two thirds of the students didn’t like a healthy diet (饮食). They didn’t like vegetables and many of them didn’t like fruits. They liked to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat better.

Parents today also worry about their children’s diet. Some doctors give the following advice:

Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.

Teenagers shouldn’t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure (高血压) in the future.

Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil, and sugar.

Teenagers need to eat some fruit and vegetables every day. Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins (维生素) and have little fat.

Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones (骨骼) grow.

Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day. This is good for their bodies and mind.

10 . 阅读下面—篇短文，根据其内容填空。

Now cities are full of cars. Some families even have two or more cars. Parking (停车) is a serious problem, and it causes the traffic around the cities. Something will have to be done to change them. What will the cars of tomorrow be like?

Little cars may some day take the place of today’s big cars. If everyone drives little cars in the future, there will be less air pollution. There will be more space for parking cars in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. Three little cars can park in the space now needed for a car of the usual size. The little cars will cost less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too. What’s more, these little cars can go about 65 kilometers an hour.

Little cars in the future will be fine for getting around a city, but they will not be suitable for long trips. If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be used for the big and fast cars, and other roads will be needed for the small ones.
