根据短文理解，选择最佳答案。

Traveling to every part of the world gets easier, but how well do we know and understand each other. Here's a simple test. Imagine you are planning to hold a meeting at four o'clock. What time should you expect your foreign business friends to arrive? If they are Germans, they'll arrive on time. If they are Americans, they'll probably be 15 minutes early. If they are Englishmen, they'll be 15 minutes late, and you should allow up to an hour for the Italians.

The British seemed to think since the English language was widely used in the world, people would always understand what they do. However, they found they were completely wrong. For example, the British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters and have a drink during the meal. The Japanese prefer not to work while eating. Lunch is a time for them to relax and get to know each other and they don't drink at lunchtime. The Germans like to talk business before dinner. The French like to eat first and talk afterwards. They have to be well fed and watered before they discuss anything.

（1）、What do the Germans prefer when they go to a meeting?

A、They prefer to be on time. B、They prefer to arrive very early. C、They prefer to arrive very late. D、They prefer to arrive a little late.

（2）、According to the text, if a group of Englishmen, Americans and Italians hold a meeting, who will be the last to arrive?

A、The Englishmen. B、The Americans. C、The Italians. D、Both the Englishmen and the Italians.

（3）、What do the Japanese like to do at lunchtime?

A、To drink. B、To get to know each other. C、To talk business. D、To eat only.

（4）、According to the writer, the British like to ________.

A、arrive on time and talk business during the meal B、arrive earliest and hate talking business at a meal C、arrive 15 minutes late and talk business after the meal D、arrive a few minutes late and discuss business during the meal

（5）、By giving us the two examples, the writer means to show us that _______.

A、different countries have different cultures in different parts of the world B、the Germans are more serious and have good living habits C、the Italians are careless people and they are never on time for everything D、the French people are very lazy. They prefer eating and drinking more

举一反三

Different countries have different customs. When you travel to another countries，please follow their customs，just as the saying goes，“ .”Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip（付小费）.It is usual to tip porters who help carry your bags，taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.
In England，make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It's important to respect lines there. It's a good idea to talk about the weather. It's a favorite subject of conversation with the British.
In Spain，it's a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late，and restaurants do not generally open until after 9 pm.
In Arab countries，men kiss one another on the cheek（脸颊）. Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.
In Japan，people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card，don't put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it.Don't forget to be careful of your body language to express something In conversation. A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.

   Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important thing in your life?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet”.
   The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly.. Today, computers are getting smaller and smaller, but they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can't live without computers today.”
   The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about 25 years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, send e-mails, do some shopping, play games or make friends.
   Young men, especially the middle school students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet bars as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don't know their names, ages and sex. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can't put their heart into study. Some of them play the games in the Internet bars all day and all night. Many of them can't catch up with others in many subjects because of that.Now the government has done many things. Some gangster Internet bars(黑网吧)have been banned. But that's not enough. The teachers and parents are still worrying about their students and children.
   We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that computers and the Internet could not do all the things.

Your home is a safe place, right? Think again.
Many serious accidents happen in people's homes. Could you please prevent these accidents? Yes. Many accidents happen because people are careless. So be careful! Here are some tips about safety.
·Don't stand on chairs. Many people may fall off chairs and hurt themselves.
·Keep the floor dry, and you won't slip (滑) or fall.
·Be away from matches. Even a cigarette (香烟) can easily start a fire. Don't use water to put out fires. Use salt instead.
·Be careful with knives! Many people cut themselves in the kitchen. Never touch the broken bottles, doors or windows. Glass can also cause the most serious cuts.
·Don't keep poisons (毒药) in the kitchen.
·Never use electrical appliances (电器设备) in the shower. Dry the floor before you use them, or electricity can hurt you!
·Keep children away from hot water and hot drinks. They can be dangerous. But adults often forget it.
·Look through the peephole (门镜) when you hear the knock on the door. Don't let strangers in.
In a word, we should learn to protect ourselves and stay away from danger.

      Dinner customs are different around the world. If you are a guest in Ghana(加纳), this information will help you a lot.
      In Ghana, dinner is usually from four in the afternoon to six in the evening. But there are no strict rules about time. Whenever a guest arrives, a family offers food. When you go to a home, the person who receives guests takes you to the living room first. At this time everyone welcomes you. Then you go to the dinning room. There you wash your hands in a bowl of water. All the food is on the table. In Ghana you usually eat with your fingers. You eat from the same dish as everyone else .But you eat from one side of the dish only. It is not polite to get food from the other side of the dish. After dinner, you wash your hands again in a bowl of water.
      Most meals in Ghana have a dish called fufu. People in Ghana make fufu from the powder (粉末)of some plants. Sometimes they cut the fufu with a saw(锯子)because it is very hard. You must chew(咀嚼 )fufu well, or you may get sick. You eat fufu with the fingers of your right hand only.

My favorite holiday is the Spring Festival. It's usually in February, but sometimes in January. Before the Spring Festival, we always clean the house to sweep away bad luck. In my family, my mother and I spend one or two days cleaning the house. My grandparents are busy shopping. They go to markets to buy food, fireworks and many other things.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, my family celebrates with a traditional big family dinner. There's so much delicious food that my mother cooks for us. Jiaozi is the most important. It means saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year. We also watch the Spring Festival Gala as we wear our new clothes. Children are very happy when they get their lucky red packets with money. I am very lucky to have many relatives because I always get a lot of lucky money!

AAAGH! The Generation 90s is coming! Wearing earphones, using complex Net language and constantly text messaging friends, the Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut (初次登台).

Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle. Read on and judge for yourselves if you fit the Gen-90s group.

Earphones—These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen-90s. They might lead to MP3, MP4 or MP101 players, giving these young people a plugged-in, cool and perhaps self-addicted look, of course, life is not always music to the ears.

Martian language—They have created their own code-like online language. It's a mixture of English, Japanese and Chinese that perhaps only Martians can understand. This is an imaginative generation, though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers.

Self-Portrait— Saying "cheese" to their own digital cameras is usual for this generation. A little bit of narcissism (自恋) never hurts anyone. It helps them reflect a little on their own lives．But be aware of the risks of posting private photos online.

Text-messaging —They can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speak. This is a generation that respects efficiency. However, oral communication is important and will never go out of style.
