The undersea world is very beautiful. Now more and more people want to dive in the water to find the secrets there. Scuba diving is a new sport today. It can take you into a wonderful undersea world.

You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are as large as a school bus. Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth.

During the day, there is enough light. Here, under the sea, everything is blue and green.

When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands. When you have bottles of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. However, you can’t dive too deep. And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water.

The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It’s cold, and it’s dark, too. The deeper it is, the less sunlight there is. At about 3,000 feet, there is no light at all. It is very dark in the sea. Many fishes have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have eyes on one side.

Besides the cold and the darkness, deep-sea animals face a third danger—other animals.

Animals eat! They must find food to eat. Many animals eat plants. However, some animals eat meat. This means these sea animals have two big jobs. They need to find animals as food, and they have to try not to become other animals’ meal.

26. Why do people want to dive in the sea?

A．They want to catch fish.

C．The sea is deep.

D．There are all kinds of plants in the sea.

27. What is everything like under the sea during the day?

A．We can stay in deep water for a long time.

B．We can dive very, very deep.

C．We can live in deep water easily.

D．We can dive freely without any dangers.

29. What should you have when you want to stay in deep water for a long time?

A．Enough food.

D．Bottles of air.

30. Which of the following is WRONG?

B．At the depth of 3,000 feet under the sea, many animals can find their way by hearing and feeling.

C．The deeper the sea is, the darker and colder it is.

D．At the depth 3,000 feet under the sea, all animals can find their way by seeing.

One day, on the way home from school, my mom told me she was going to make some new rules for me and my brothers and sisters. Before this, we knew she wanted us to be good, but we really didn’t have any rules. On Sunday, she started giving us the “house rules”.

Clean your rooms every other day.

Be ready for dinner at 7 p.m. (that means sitting at the table, with clean hands). If mom is having a meeting in the house, be very quiet ( that means turning down the music and the TV). Be ready for bed at 9:30 p. m. (that means lying in bed, with clean faces). Get up at 7:30 a. m. to get ready for school (that means your feet are on the floor, not just hanging off the bed). Take the garbage cans to the curb (路边) on Monday morning before school.

Clean the bathroom on Thursday.

Following these rules isn’t too hard, and sometimes it’s even fun. At other times, it can be tough (困难的，难办的). For instance, if your room is really dirty and you can’t finish cleaning it on that day, you have to finish it on the next day, along with anything else you have to do. That can be hard.

Mom made these rules because she loves us lot. She wants us to learn how to be on time, be clean and neat (整洁的), and be polite. Every day, we try to follow her rules.

We all know that the British people love their manners(礼仪).They are part of their national identity(特性),as well as having fish and chips and complaining about the weather.Recently I read online that they say “sorry” up to eight times a day.

After some research I have not been able to find any specific reasons why they are like this.I suppose,for centuries,manners,including how they behave at table and talk to other people have been one of the differences between the lower and upper classes and those manners show their social classes.Britain has traditionally been a quite conservative(保守的) country.There are many articles suggesting that their seemingly polite attitude of always saying “please” and “thank you” is quite false because it is impossible for a person to always feel that he or she wants to thank someone or say “please”.

Maybe it is for this reason that people are going one of two ways:they are too polite and hold back their feelings or they are not polite at all and express their true feelings directly.Some British people are tired of pretending that they are always happy and having to please others.But sometimes because they feel they have to be polite,they are prevented from saying what they truly think.

36. What don’t the British people often do?

A．Eat fish and chips.	B．Have no quite good manners.
C．Be polite to others.	D．Talk about the weather.

37. What do the British people say up to eight times every day?

A．Hello.

B．Thank you.

C．I don’t know.

D．Sorry.

38. What does the writer think are the reasons why the British people are so polite?
①The upper classes should have good manners.
②They have learned much about politeness at school.
③They like to hold back their true feelings.
④They are not honest at all.

A．①②

B．③④

C．①③

D．②④

39. What does the underlined word “pretending” mean in Chinese?

D．体验

40. What is the best title of this passage?
