A. Choose the best answer(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分)
Following are opinions on the manner (举止) that people in the United States usually expect in various social situations.
Men usually shake hands with each other when they meet for the first time, but shake hands with women only if the woman extends her hand first. Women do not usually shake hands with each other.
After the first meeting, shaking hands is unusual. However, if someone offers his or her hand by chance, one is expected to shake it. In general, people in the United States avoid (避免) physical touch with each other, since physical touch often suggests sexual attraction or attack. Although, it has been noted, first names are used more often in the United States than elsewhere, this practice is generally accepted by the rules of etiquette(礼仪). Thus, while it is
proper for the foreign student to people of about his or her own age and status(身份) by their first name, the student would be expected to use “Mr.”, “Mrs.”, “Miss” or “Ms.” and the person‟s last name in addressing to another person who is clearly older than the student. (On
the other hand, the old person will probably address the student by his or her first name from the beginning.) If the other person being addressed has a title such as “Doctor” or “Dean”, the student should use that title and last name. For example, Doctor Edward Kennedy would be addressed as “Doctor Kennedy”. Any faculty (全体教员) member can be addressed as “Professor”, no matter
whether he or she holds the rank (头衔) of Assistant (辅助的) Professor, Associate (副的) Professor, or full Professor. Equally acceptable are “Mr.”, “Mrs.”, etc.

A. says “Yes” B. extends her hand first C. allows to D. was once met

Anna lived on the side of a valley (山谷). One winter, there was a very big flood, and a lot of houses down below Anna‟s house were washed away. Anna‟s house was high enough to escape the flood, so when the water had disappeared and the other houses were standing there with
no roofs and walls and all covered with mud, her house was still quite all right. That year Anna‟s was very lucky.
Her house was quite small and there were only two small bedrooms, her husband was dead when the children were very young, and she had four children, but Anna took in one of the families that had lost everything in the flood and she shared her home with them until it was possible for them to rebuild their house.
Anna‟s friends were very puzzled (困惑) when they saw Anna do this. They could not understand why Anna wanted to give herself so much more work and trouble when she had already quite a lot of children to support. Life would be even harder when another family joined them.
“Well,” Anna explained to her friends, “at the end of the First World War, a woman in the town where I then lived in Germany found herself very poor, because her husband had been killed in the war and she had a lot of children, as I have now.”
“The day before Christmas, this woman said to her children, „We won‟t have much for Christmas this year, so I am going to get only one gift for all of us and I am sure we will all be glad to have it. Now I‟ll go and get it.‟ She came back with a little girl who was even poorer than they, and who had no parents. „Here is our gift,‟ she said to her children.”
“The children were very excited and happy to get such a gift. They welcomed the little girl, and she grew up as their sister, I was just that Christmas gift.”

D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 14分)
Anna lived on the side of a valley (山谷). One winter, there was a very big flood, and a lot of houses down below Anna‟s house were washed away. Anna‟s house was high enough to escape the flood, so when the water had disappeared and the other houses were standing there with
no roofs and walls and all covered with mud, her house was still quite all right. That year Anna‟s was very lucky.
Her house was quite small and there were only two small bedrooms, her husband was dead when the children were very young, and she had four children, but Anna took in one of the families that had lost everything in the flood and she shared her home with them until it was possible for them to rebuild their house.
Anna‟s friends were very puzzled (困惑) when they saw Anna do this. They could not understand why Anna wanted to give herself so much more work and trouble when she had already quite a lot of children to support. Life would be even harder when another family joined them.
“Well,” Anna explained to her friends, “at the end of the First World War, a woman in the town where I then lived in Germany found herself very poor, because her husband had been killed in the war and she had a lot of children, as I have now.”
“The day before Christmas, this woman said to her children, „We won‟t have much for Christmas this year, so I am going to get only one gift for all of us and I am sure we will all be glad to have it. Now I‟ll go and get it.‟ She came back with a little girl who was even poorer than they, and who had no parents. „Here is our gift,‟ she said to her children.”
“The children were very excited and happy to get such a gift. They welcomed the little girl, and she grew up as their sister, I was just that Christmas gift.”
