Question

Families aren't families they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now not more. Everyone is busy working. Mothers used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now the family don't eat home?cooked food any more.

And the cars! No one walks any more. More and more people drive. Students used to walk 5 miles to school every day, even in winter. But nowadays students don't. And in school, children don't have to think any more. In math class, for example, they used to add, subtract, multiply and divide (加減乘除) in their heads. Instead, they use calculators.

And people today have TV and computers, and they don't talk to each other any more. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think.

When I first went to Britain, a lot of things seemed strange to me. For example, people drove on the left side of the road and many people carried an umbrella all the time. There were also many other things that I found really ▲ .

The first thing I noticed was how polite British people were. When I got on the bus, the driver would greet me; when people got off the bus, they would say “Thank you” to the driver; when I went into a shop, I would be greeted by a smiling salesman who would say, “Can I help you?”

The family I stayed with were very nice, but their house was full of oddities (怪現(xiàn)象). Firstly, there were carpets (地毯) everywhere, even in the bathroom. Also, the bathroom was full of surprises. The first time I tried to wash my hands I burned myself. The cold and hot water came out of different taps (水龍頭)! Then, when I tried to dry my hair I couldn't find a socket (插座) for my hairdryer. Maybe that wasn't such a big surprise. More surprising was the fact that British people didn't take their shoes off when they went into a house — can you imagine?

I guess that for British people all of these things are normal. It's only when you visit a foreign country that you realize that what you think is normal is not. Normality depends on where you are.

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案。

1.The best word for “▲” is “______”.

A. successful B. traditional C. exciting D. surprising

2.How many examples are given to show that British people are polite?

A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.

3.What happened when the writer first tried to wash his hands in his host family?

A. He burned his hands. B. He couldn't find the tap.

C. There wasn't any water in the tap. D. There was only cold water in the tap.

4.What does the writer think it is normal to do when entering a house?

A. To take your hat off. B. To wash your hands.

C. To take your shoes off. D. To leave your umbrella out.

5.How does the writer develop the passage?

A. By telling a short story.

B. By providing some examples.

C. By showing different opinions.

D. By comparing research results.
