Now, Thailand is popular among more and more tourists from the world, including Chinese. In Thailand we should do the things as Thais (泰国人） do. When we can't do all the things as Thais, we should at least learn and respect(尊重) their customs (风俗). Here's something about their customs.

Personal appearance (外表) is very important in Thailand as a sign of respect for other people. Your clothes should be tidy, clean and free from holes. Shorts and sleeveless (无袖的) shirts are not welcomed in churches (教堂.) Remember that you will need to take off your shoes when entering rooms, so don't wear shoes that are slow to get on and off. The rules are even stricter(严格) with foreign visitors, so even if you see a local in shorts, it's not OK for everyone.

It's not polite to touch a Thai on the head, including children. At the same time, don't touch people with your feet, or even point with them because they think feet are dirty and low.

If someone is sitting with outstretched (伸出的) feet, don't step over them, because this is very rude. It could even make people angry. Even if the person is sleeping, it is best to go around until he or she notices and lets you go out.

（1）、What is the passage mainly about?

A、It's about the timetable about visiting Thailand. B、It's about the customs of Thailand. C、It's about the differences between Chinese and Thailand customs. D、It's about how to learn the language spoken in Thailand.

（2）、What does the underlined word 'free" mean in Chinese?

A、自由的 B、空闲的 C、无……的 D、免费的

（3）、Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A、You'd better not wear clothes with holes. B、You can wear sleeveless shirts in some sacred (神圣的) places if you want. C、Don't wear shoes that are slow to get on and off. D、You'd better not touch a baby's head even though (即使) the baby is lovely.

Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
"How do we know if someone is really important?" the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few moments and then said, "I think anybody who is invited to the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really important."
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. "Do you agree with that?"she asked.
The man shook his head, "No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You'd only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it."
The reporter turned to the third man. "Do you think so?"
"No, I don't."he said. "I don't think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important."
"Then what would make the visitor important?" the reporter and the other two men asked.
"Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, "listened and then said, "it's for you."

In Britain, some people say they will do anything if a famous person they love asks them to. One in three people in Britain have a new kind of disease(病)—they love a famous person too much.
Some people love famous stars like Britney Spears, David Beckham or even Tony Blair. It is not just the young, grown-ups have the same problem. One in four people are so interested in their heroes that it affects their life.
There are two ways of worshipping(崇拜) famous people. One way is just to follow them or talk about them with friends for fun. The other is a more serious way. People have very strong feelings for them and think they are their friends. People who do so for fun are found to be happier. But those who have strong feelings for a famous person are perhaps to feel more lonely and worried.
"Worshipping famous people is not certainly a bad thing," Dr.John, an expert said, "But like many things, overdoing it may not always be good for you."

      Computers can help many workers. They can also help thieves.
      There was one thief who worked in a bank of the United States. He paid for everything he needed by check (支票). Then he told the computer not to take any money from his account for the checks he wrote. The bank's computer did what he said. And it did not take any money from his bank account. One day the computer broke down. People had to do the computer's work. They soon found out what was happening.
      Another thief, who worked for a bank saw people filling in deposit forms (存款单). Many of these people did not know their account numbers, so they wrote only their names on the forms. They left empty places for their account numbers. The thief wrote his own account number in this place. When the computer read these forms it looked only at the account numbers. It did not look at the customers' names. It paid the money on these deposit forms into the thief's account .
       Then there was the bank worker who told the bank computer to take ten cents off every customer's account each month and put it into his own account. For a long time the bank's customers did not notice that they were losing ten cents every month. But then someone did notice and told the bank. That was the end of that little game!

Father's Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother's Day. And just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother's Day, we should also have a Father's Day. Father's Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers found it was a good way to get people to buy presents for their fathers, presents from their shops.

By the way, very few countries have a Father's Day, though some have Children's Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother's Day, so maybe Father's Day will also become popular before too long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father's Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do－buy a Father's Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy a Father's Day present－not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father's Day present for their grandfathers.

The important thing to remember about Father's Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.

"How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But "How are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't have an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine.", even if the person's friend isn't fine. The reason is that" How are you? "isn't really a question and "Fine." isn't really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi".

Sometimes, people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?", the other person might be thinking, "No, I disagree. I think you're wrong." But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not so sure. "It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.

People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I have to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse, "Someone's at the door." "Something is burning on the stove." The excuse might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.

Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don't say exactly that they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's a part of the game of language.

Our new foreign students are going to arrive very soon, and here are some ways to communicate with them politely.

How close do you stand when you talk to a friend? You can stand close to people in the Middle East but don't stand too close to North Americans! Give them more personal space.

Do you know how to touch people correctly? Chinese girls often walk arm in arm with their friends. South Americans sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can't move away! But in Britain many people don't like other people to touch them at all.

Do you look at people when you talk? In some places，it isn't polite to look at people when you talk，but in other countries it isn't polite to look somewhere else. In Britain and the U. S., people usually look at each other when they talk.

And how do you say goodbye? That's easy, wave to say goodbye. But be careful! In Greece, it's not at all polite. In fact, it's very rude.
