passage1
Once James Thornhill, a famous English painter, was asked to paint some pictures on the walls of the king‘s palace in England. Then workers were sent for and a big platform (台子)was made. With the help of a worker, Thornhill started painting on the platform. They worked for a whole year and at last the pictures were ready.
Thornhill was happy when he looked at the pictures, for they were really beautiful. He looked at them for a long time, and then took one step back and looked again. Now the pictures were even more beautiful. He took another step, then another. Finally he was at the very edge of the platform, but he didn‘t know it because he was thinking of his pictures.
The worker saw everything. ?What should I do?‘ he thought. ?Thornhill was at the very edge of the platform. If I cry out, he will take another step, fall off it and surely be killed.‘ So the worker quickly took some paint (漆)and threw it at the pictures.

Passage 2
A poor young artist came to the gate of the subway station. He put his hat on the ground and took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground. Then he adjusted the violin and began playing. Before long, the young violinist was surrounded with people, who were all attracted by the words on that paper. It said, ―Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim it soon.‖
After about half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and rushed through the crowd to the violinist and grabbed his shoulders and said, ―Yes, it‘s you. You did come here. I knew that you‘re an honest man and would certainly come here.‖
The story turned out to be this :George Sang bought a lottery ticket a few days ago. The awards opened yesterday and he won a prize of $500,000. So he felt very happy and he took out 50 dollars for the wonderful music played by the young man. However the lottery ticket was also thrown in.
Later someone asked the violinist: ―At that time you needed to pay the tuition fee and had to play the violin every day to make the money. Then why didn‘t you take the lottery ticket for yourself?‖ The violinist said, ―Although I don‘t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty I won‘t be happy forever.‖
Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us. If we bear ourselves in a deceptive and dishonest way, we may succeed temporarily. However, from the long-term view, we will be a loser. Such people are just like the water on the mountain. It

Passage 3
During the meal, you'd better be careful not to leave a spoon in a soup bowl or coffee cup or any other dish. The coffee spoon ought to be on the saucer, the soup spoon ought to be on the plate under the bowl. When you are having soup, make the least noises and use the side of your spoon inside out this way, not the tip. And you mustn't pick up your soup bowls so as to drink away the last drops of your soup from the bottom of the bowl.
Very often there is only one main course and salad, followed by your sweet. If you find the meal not enough, say \you have just had. The hostess will be very glad that you appreciate her cooking and will give you an extra portion. But if you observe the Chinese way of being polite and say \when the hostess offers you more, you will most probably starve later, because Americans will never press food on you. Yet it is not polite to keep silent and not to talk with the person next to you. It would be considered good manners if you handle your silverware with care so that they don't make any noise. When coffee comes, drink it from your cup. The coffee spoon should rest on the saucer while you are drinking. And smoking, of course, is rarely seen at a dinner table. Well, when the meal is finished, the guests put their napkins on the table and stand up, the men again
C. underpass B.cunning people D. dishonest people
D.building
5. What kind of people can be compared to the water on the mountain?
helping the ladies with their chairs.

And if you stay overnight or over the weekend, it will be courteous to send a thank-you note to the host or hostess the following day, very often with a small gift such as a box of chocolate or some flowers as a token of appreciation of their hospitality.
1. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. How to Prepare for a Meal. B. Never Press Food on Your Guest. C. Table Manners in the U.S.A. D. How to Enjoy a Dinner. 2. The passage suggests that ______.
