10.Social customs and ways of behaving change．Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable．Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street．No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room. 　　Customs are also different from country to country．Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? What about table manner? Should you use both hands when you are eating? 　　The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs．For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time．Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans．Promptness is important both in England and in America．That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay. 　　The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable -- especially if they are your guests．There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party．When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife．The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way．It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.[单选题] According to the text, the best host

11.Passage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay” accommodation when they study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit．Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time．But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say．There are three ways of doing it：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher；select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example．Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements．Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have．Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center．Even if you stay further out，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money， it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family．This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible． But if you plan to learn English，why not have your English classes in your host family． There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?

17.根据以下资料，回答21-24题。 　　There Pictures from outer space now show us how much land has changed on earth．These images are taken by Landsat 7, a government satellite．The satellites have been used for 27 years．They reveal the clear-cutting of forests in the northwestern part of the United States．Pictures show the loss of rain forests in South America. 　　NASA's Darrel Williams speaks about the Landsat 7 Project．He said that an eruption caused trees to burn up in a large forest．Fifteen years later, pinkish images from space show that the trees and plant life are growing again．Williams says that clear-cut areas easily show up in the pictures．He wants Americans to look at how much land is being cleared of forests in our country. 　　Satellites have provided other information about changes on earth．In the past ten years, more than four miles have shrunk from glaciers in Alaska．Landsat 7 received these computer images of Glacier Bay in Alaska. 　　Hurricanes Floyd and Irene have damaged the coastline in North Carolina．Runoff from farms and silt have gone into the．ocean according to satellite images．Loss of trees and forests have caused hotter summers in southern cities such as Atlanta, Georgia. The Landsat 7 images are like pictures in a photo album．Instead of pictures of the family, the album shows changes around the globe in the past 25 years. 　　A new satellite, Terra, is going to be launched by NASA soon．It will be more advanced than Landsat 7 and will take important global pictures．Ocean temperatures and energy loss will be provided by Terra daily.23 Silt and heavy run-off from farms in North Carolina were caused by __.

18.After taking a six—week，fully paid maternity leave(产假)earlier this year，FrancineGemperle was anxious to resume her job but reluctant to be away from her baby daughter，Veronica.Fortunately，she didn’t have to choose between them.Maya Design，a Pittsburghbased creative consulting firm，allows parents to bring newborns：into the office.“If I'd had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended.I would never have goneback to work，”says Gemperle a designer and researcher，who also brought her son Mile.intothe office after he was born.She’s not the only parent taking advantage of the ben6fit.Senior analyst Jon West bringshis10.month—old soil.Owen，the office several times a month.In fact,when West consideredusing only part of his paternity leave，his co—workers urged him to take all six weeks.“I had pressure to take that leave，”recalls West，“People told me.‘It's an important part of your life and you need to expenience it.’”“No matter how quiet the baby is，it’s an obvious distraction(分心的事).”says Tory Johnson the chief executive of Women for hire.a New York City—based recruiting firm, No one has complained yet.Even if somebody did，it would’t matter to Mickey McManus，Mayas’s CEO and president who argues that the policy builds loyalty and helps parents shiftback into work mode.As part of its balancing act，Maya shares up to 20%of quarterly profits with itsemployees.However，the size of those checks might be up in the air at the moment.The firmonce laid off five workers and it is now 4-day weeks to avoid more layoffs.“Be transparrent，”MCmanus advises，“so workers know they can trust you.”Which of these would be the best title for the passage?

20.It is still sometimes difficult to understand why those between ages 10 and 18 would endangertheir lives by joining armed forces or rebel groups and become fighting soldiers. The recentlypublished book, Young Soldiers, Why They Choose to Fight by Rachel Brett and Irma Specht, triesto find an answer.There is no doubt that children fight in most armed conflicts today. While international attentionfocuses largely on those who are forced into battles, thousands more enlist(应征入伍) voluntarily.In an attempt to understand the young who take up arms, Brett and Specht interviewed 53 boyand girl soldiers and ex-soldiers from around the world, Afghanistan, Colombia, the Republic of theCongo for example. All interviewees were involved with armed groups before the age of 18 and allclassified themselves as volunteers.What these two field officers heard is “I joined involuntarily—if you have nothing, you volunteerfor the army”. Other reasons young people gave are self—defense, revenge, poverty, andunemploy-ment.But while it is common knowledge that most child soldiers come from poor and disadvantagedbackgrounds, Young Soldiers shows that the issue is far more complex. Many poor child do not jointhe army. The environmental, educational, social, cultural, and highly personal factors determinewhether someone decides to join up or not.The battlefield is not a place children. One young soldier described being there as “too sad anexperience”. The authors hope that by understanding why teenagers join up, those child soldiersshould know how to discourage others from the same tragedy.The reasons shown in Young Soldiers for children to join the army are ( )
