“In my country, men usually go to restaurants on their own. They always take their shoes off before they go in. Then they usually sit on the floor around a small, low table. In the evening they often sing songs.”
“You usually take chocolates or flowers. But you always take an odd number of flowers, and you remove the paper before you give them to the hostess. You can also send flowers before you arrive. You don’t usually take wine except when you visit very close friends.”
“We always offer our guests something to drink when they arrive, tea, coffee or perhaps water or soft drinks. We think it is polite to accept a drink even if we’re not thirsty. If we visit someone, we always stay for a few drinks. When we have had enough to drink, we tap our cup or put our hand over it. If we say no, our host will insist that we have more to drink. ”
“People’s private lives are very important so they never ask you personal questions about your personal questions about your family or where you live or your job. They never talk about religion or matters of finance, education or politics, but usually stay with safe subjects like the weather, films, plays, books and restaurants.”
“It’s difficult to know when to leave, but an evening meal usually lasts about three or four hours. When the host serves coffee, this is sometimes a sign that the evening is nearly over, but you can have as much coffee as you want”
“If the invitation says eight o’clock then we arrive exactly at eight. With friends we know well, we sometimes arrive about fifteen minutes before”
“Obviously it depends on the occasion, but most dinner parties are informal. The men don’t usually wear a suit, but they may wear a jacket and tie. Women are usually smart but casual” (

学校 班级 姓名： 考试号： astronomers(天文学家) said they have found a new planet that has many important parts similar to those of the Earth.
The planet, which travels around a red dwarf star(红矮星) called Gliese 581, has the right size and temperature. Most importantly, the planet lies in the suitable living area of the star, which makes the planet not too hot or too cold.
Scientists say the new world, Gliese 581C is five times larger than the Earth. It may have water since it is the right place for the red dwarf to survive in space.
Swiss scientist Michel Mayor said it is an important step on the way to find possible life in the space and there are still lots of questions.
For more than ten years, astronomers and scientists have been keeping their eyes on the space in search for another Earth, another world that can support life or already has it.
According to records, the first discovery of extra solar(太阳系) planet going around a normal star was made in 1995. Since then, the number of newly discovered worlds has increased to about 200. But they are just dead with lifeless bodies.
The Gliese 581C came into our eyes and mankind has reason to celebrate. After all, we may have living neighbors. The discovery doesn’t promise much, but it offers hope that there could be other people or living things out there.
( )54The new planet has made _________.
A. the search for life outside the Earth new and exciting B. many important parts of the Earth new and similar. C. a red dwarf star not too hot or not too cold D. the astronomers believe everything
( )55.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.A new planet for people to live in has been found. B. The red dwarf star is five times larger than the Earth. C. Scientists have a lot of questions about the new planet. D. Scientists have proved there is some water in the new planet. ( )56.Why do astronomers and scientists keep their eyes on the space?
A. They hate the life on the Earth. B. They want to support more life.
C. They want to search for another world D. There are some people and living things there.

Look at the light and beautiful snowflakes(雪花)falling. Do you want to hold them in your hands? They are always lost when they meet your hands. Well, this isn’t just a problem for you. It was a problem for Wilson Bentley, too.
In the 1870s, Wilson Bentley was just a teenager. His family lived in a small town in northeast America. Winters there were long and hard. Bentley’s mother was once a schoolteacher. She taught him at home. Bentley didn’t go to school until he was 14. He was a quiet boy, and loved reading his mother’s books.
But it was his mother’s microscope(显微镜) that interested him. When the other boys were playing with balls, little Bentley was studying the things like drops of water, flowers and snowflakes. Bentley loved watching snowflakes. For the next two years, young Bentley spent many winter days in a cold room watching these ice crystals(晶体) through the microscope.
The boy thought they were so beautiful that he started to draw pictures of them. But there were so many snowflakes that he couldn’t draw them all.
How could he keep their beauty forever? Bentley thought of buying a camera.
The boy and his mother asked his father to buy one. But his father didn’t agree. He thought the whole thing was a bad idea. He thought the only thing a farmer should do was farming.
But finally Bentley did get a camera. For more than a year he tried to take pictures of snowflakes. On January 15, 1885, during a snowstorm, Bentley took the first ever photo of an ice crystal with his camera. “It was the greatest moment of my life,” Bentley said later.
For 13 years, Bentley worked quietly and took thousands of photos of ice crystals. Later he became known as “Snowflake” Bentley.
( )62.The best title for this passage is _______.
A. Snowflake Photos B. ”Snowflake” Bentley C. Long and Hard Winters D. Teenage Photographers ( )63.We can know from the story that Bentley’s father was _____.
A. a farmer B. a funny man C. an athletic man D. a schoolteacher ( )64.Which of the following about Bentley is TRUE?
A. He didn’t get any kind of education as a child. B. He was born in a rich family.
C. He was the first person to take photos of snowflakes. D. He was fascinated(着迷的)by the beauty of snowflakes. ( )65.What kind of person do you think Wilson Bentley was?
A. He was outgoing B. He was too serious.
C. He was interested in learning. D. He was very warm-hearted.

We are in a world full of competition. Our parents compete(竞争) with others in their offices, our brothers and classmates in school. Many of us give up in the face of competition and will never be successful.①can’t, others, why, we , do, better, than One important reason is that we have no self-confidence.
In fact, everyone is born equal. You can do what others do. Although your classmates may be better than you in some ways, you may be better than them in other subjects. So everyone has his or her own advantages. Don’t look at things from a single point of view. Try to discover your own advantages, and believe that you can do better than others in those ways.
Competition is not so terrible. Don’t be afraid of it. And don’t be afraid of those classmates who are better than you. ② Remember that self-confidence is the first step to success. Believe in yourselves, and you will be successful one day.
