A fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan, in her favourite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.
When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大廳). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, it's beautiful！”
At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately. Poor Geri was left astonished. What did she do wrong?
Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if you're coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients (客人) casually dressed. The second mistake was Geri's handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each other's cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safe keeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.
Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is worse, Geri hadn't even given them a gift!
1.In the four Japanese gentlemen's eyes, Geri took their cards ________．
A．disrespectfully B．embarrassingly
C．politely D. excitedly
2.Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Geri suddenly?
A．Because they had finished the task.
B．Because they couldn't bear Geri's behaviour any longer.
C．Because Geri had something more important to do.
D．Because Geri felt embarrassed.
3.What does the underlined word “gaffe” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．ignorance. B．mistake.
C. sadness D．carelessness.
4.The third mistake Geri made was that she ________．
A．used her own card as a conversation starter
B．took her clients' cards with one hand
C．met her clients in jeans
D．kept her clients' cards in a wrong place
5.What lesson can we draw from this story?
A．When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
B．Think twice before you take any action.
C．Honesty is the best policy.
D．Don't claim to know what you don't know.

A team of researchers in the UK has shown that children who were taken to the library more often and owned more books at two years old achieved higher scores in school tests when they began primary school. The research also showed that although social background has a noticeable effect on a child’s readiness for school, attending pre-school and having their parents teach them a wide range of activities have a positive effect---while extended exposure to television lowers their scores.
“One message coming through loud and clear is that how a child learns in his very early years is critical (至關(guān)重要的) for a smooth transition into the educational system,” said Professor James Law. “This is a very positive message, as it gets us away from the belief that a child’s educational future is pre-determined by standard measures of socio-economic disadvantage, such as income, housing, or the mother’s education.”
Data from the study shows that children from a positive communication environment had a better expressive vocabulary by their second birthday. These children went on to achieve higher scores in language, reading and maths tests when they entered school. In the early years, the communication environment was a better predictor of children’s success with language than their general social background.
Most children develop speech and language effortlessly, but some are slow to acquire these skills and go on to struggle with literacy (讀寫能力) and academic skills throughout their schooling. This project set out to uncover what factors contributed to these problems.
Professor Sue Roulstone said, “These findings are an encouragement to all parents to provide a positive communication environment for their children from the very start of their lives. The project did identify particular aspects of the communication environment, such as having children’s books around and not having the television on too much. But the main message is that, as parents, we can have an impact on how our children learn to talk by providing a range of communication experiences. And the better our children are at talking by the age of two years, the better they will do when they start school.”
1.According to the passage, what is the most important factor contributing to children’s success at school? _____.
A. Their general social background.
B. Being taken to a library as early as possible.
C. Being involved in various activities.
D. Their communication environment.
2.From the research, Professor James Law concluded that _____.
A. children could naturally have a smooth transition into the educational system
B. the very early years had a big effect on children’s school performance
C. communication with children after they were over two years old was more effective
D. children’s educational future was pre-determined by their parents’ social position
3.The study shows that two-year-old children who have a positive communication environment do better in _____.
A. mathsB. reading
C. writingD. speaking
4.What is implied in the passage? _____.
A. The research could help children who suffer from learning difficulties.
B. Parents should take their children to school as early as possible.
C. Teachers should teach children how to communicate with their parents.
D. Children who have good language abilities will not have difficulties in class.
5. People can most probably find this passage in the _____section of a website.
A. environment B. education
C. lifestyleD. Science

“I will never marry，” the future Elizabeth I declared at the age of eight, and, to the terror of her people, the Great Queen kept her word.
For four centuries, historians have guessed why Elizabeth never married. In her own day, her decision to remain single was considered absurd and dangerous. A queen needed a husband to make political decisions for her and to organize and lead her military campaigns. More important, she needed male heirs to avoid a civil war after her death.
There was no shortage of suitors for the Queen, both English courtiers (朝臣) and foreign princes, and it was confidently expected for the best part of 30 years that Elizabeth would eventually marry one of them. Indeed , although she insisted that she preferred the single state, she kept these suitors in a state of permanent expectation. This was a deliberate policy on the Queen's part, since by keeping foreign princes in hope, sometimes for a decade, she kept them friendly when they might otherwise have made war on her kingdom.
There were, indeed, good political reasons for her avoiding marriage. The disastrous union of her sister Mary I to Philip II of Spain had had an unwelcome foreign influence upon English politics. The English were generally prejudiced against the Queen taking a foreign husband, particularly a Catholic one. Yet if she married an English, jealousy might lead to the separation of the court.
There were other, deeper reasons for Elizabeth's unwillingness to marry, chief of which, I believe, was her fear of losing her autonomy as Queen. In the 16th century, a queen was regarded as holding supreme dominion(統(tǒng)治權(quán))over the state, while a husband was thought to hold supreme dominion over his wife. Elizabeth knew that marriage and motherhood would bring some harm to her power.
She once pointed out that marriage seemed too uncertain a state for her. She had seen several unions in her immediate family break down, including that of her own parents.
Some writers, based on very fragile evidence, have argued that Elizabeth was frightened or incapable of the sex act, but it is more likely that she feared childbirth. Two of her stepmothers, her grandmother and several acquaintances had died in child bed.
Elizabeth's father, Henry VIII, had had her mother, Anne Boleyn, killed; her stepmother Catherine Howard later suffered the same fate. When Elizabeth was 14 she was all but attracted by Admiral Thomas Seymour, who also went to the prison within a year. Witnessing these terrible events at an early age, it has been argued, may have put Elizabeth off marriage.
Elizabeth had to decide her priorities. Marriage or being single? Elizabeth was far too intelligent.The choice she made was courageous and revolutionary, and, in the long run, the right one for England.
1.To the suitors including English courtiers and foreign princes，Elizabeth ________.
A．held back the truth
B．gave a definite answer “no”
C．kept them expecting deliberately
D．said she preferred the single state
2.If Elizabeth had married a foreign prince, there might have been ________.
A．prejudice against her
B．separation of the court
C．jealousy among English courtiers
D．a(chǎn) negative impact on English politics
3.Which of the following implications is right according to the passage?
A．Queen Elizabeth was not a Catholic.
B．Some foreign princes made war on Britain.
C．Catherine Howard was killed by Anne Boleyn.
D．Admiral Thomas Seymour was killed by Henry VIII.
4.What is the attitude of the author towards Queen Elizabeth never marrying in her life?
A．Pitiful. B．Approving. C．Negative. D．Neutral.
