2 . In England, recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seemed all at sea and looked embarrassed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.

Learning the language of a country isn’t enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised by just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn’t agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty.

3 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed     1     (significant). Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with the people that we want to remain friends     2     .

Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships. The digital age also enables us     3     (find)people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars or     4     (play)an unusual instrument. Whatever our     5     (hobby), the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.

However, the “friends" online don’t necessarily become our real friends. If people always exchange true     6     (person)information online, then these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media     7     (be)often not the whole truth about a person. On social media sites, people tend to post only positive updates     8     make them appear happy and friendly and the smiling photos can hide real problems.

    9     this doesn’t mean that we should throw the baby out of the bathwater. Although in recent years technology     10     (change)the way we acquire friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same.

5 . Identical Twins Kathy and Sophie arrived at college last year and determined to strike out on independent paths, so they had requested rooms in different dorms. While Kathy got along with her roommate, Sophie was miserable. She and her roommate silently warred over matters ranging from when the lights should be turned off to how the furniture should be arranged. Finally, they divided the room in two and gave up on oral communication. During this time, Sophie kept seeking comfort from Kathy. Before long, the two wanted to live together again. Sophie’s roommate eventually agreed to move out.

Sophie’s ability to solve her dilemma by rooming with her identical twin is unusual, but the conflict she faced is not. Most roommate conflicts spring from such small, annoying differences rather than from grand disagreements over abstract principles. One person likes quiet, while the other person spends two hours a day practicing the trumpet. One eats only organically(有机地) produced vegetables and loves animals, while the other likes wearing fur and enjoys cutting up frogs in biology class.

When personalities don’t mix, the excitement of being away at college can quickly fade away. Moreover, roommates can affect each other’s psychological health. A recent study reports that depression in college roommates is often passed from one person to another.

Many schools have started conflict resolution programs to calm tensions that otherwise can build up like a volcano preparing to explode, finally resulting in physical violence. Some colleges have resorted to “roommate contracts” that all new students fill out and sign after attending a lecture on roommate relations. Students detail behavioral guidelines for their room, including acceptable hours for study and sleep, a policy for use of each other’s possessions. Some schools try to head off the feud before it begins by using computerized matching. Students are put together on the basis of their responses to housing form questions.

1. Why is the twins’ story mentioned?

A．To describe college life.

B．To reveal the relationship of the twins.

C．To show the love between the sisters.

D．To present the phenomenon of roommate conflicts.

2. What is the cause of most conflicts among roommates?

A．They have opposite mindsets.	B．They argue over serious matters.
C．They differ greatly in life values.	D．They hold different preferences in some way.

3. What does the underlined word “feud” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Difference.

B．Quarrel.

C．Competition.

D．Test.

4. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．Identical Twins Living Together Again in Colleges

B．Roommate Conflicts, Common and Unavoidable?

C．Roommate Contracts, Useful in Solving Conflicts?

D．Roommate Conflicts Affecting Students’ Psychology

8 . Ways to make a great first impression

You’ve heard it a million times already, but it really does take a few seconds to make that all-important first impression (印象). Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.

● Have a proper handshake

Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left.     1    .

● Be on time

When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression.

    2     It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.

● Introduce yourself and ask for names

Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their names in a polite way.     3    . This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you’re with.

●    4    

To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you.     5    . A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to (产生共鸣).

A．Make good conversation

B．Use body language

C．Repeat the name and use it later in conversation.

D．It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby.

E．As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early.

F．You’ll be in serious trouble if you leave them with a bad impression.

G．However, don’t have your left hand in your pocket because this appears impolite.

10 . When you choose a friend, you should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability.

Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries, to think of ways to be helpful. He is, also a good listener.

At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, good friends will be honest to each other and accept each other.

Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favour, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!
