阅读下面四篇短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

If you meet a British person in the street, it is very likely that he or she will apologize whether it is his or her fault (过错) or not.

It seems that Britain is becoming a nation where everyone is saying sorry. Almost each person says sorry about eight times each day—and one in eight people apologize as many as 20 times a day.

As you may have seen, the British apologize more often than members of other cultures. A research shows that in many cases, people's love of saying sorry in Britain goes a little further than it does for Americans. For example, about 15 British people would say ”sorry” while only 10 from the US would do this if they sneezed, if they corrected someone's mistake of if someone knocked into them.

In the old days, “sorry” was used to express regret and sadness for having done something wrong. But now British people use the expression as a way of showing good manners. For example, they might say “sorry” instead of “excuse me”, “pardon”, “what” or “whatever”.

People in Britain also use sorry when they share the same feeling with others—so they might say “sorry about the rain”.

However, British people's use of “sorry” may make things very confusing (迷惑不清) and difficult for foreigners who are not familiar with their ways. But actually, people in Britain pay much attention to the feelings of others. This is the very reason why they apologize every day.

（1）、What does the passage mainly talk about?

A、What daily expressions British people often use. B、How people in Britain keep in touch with foreigners. C、The different meanings of sorry in and out of Britain. D、Why British people say sorry many times every day.

（2）、In the old days, people said sorry when they _______.

A、did something wrong B、asked the way C、wanted to repeat something D、made a choice

（3）、Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A、Americans say sorry more than British people. B、Even British people get confused when they say sorry. C、Almost every person in Britain says sorry 20 times a day. D、The British also say sorry to share the same feeling with others.

（4）、From the passage we can learn that British people _______.

A、like to talk about the weather B、care a lot about others C、are difficult to get along with D、love to correct mistakes

        Childhood is a time of fun and games. Many people still remember when they were young, they often played games like hide-and-seek and chess. Playing teaches children how to get along with others, and it also helps to exercise the mind and body. However, children today spent most of their playing time in front of the computer, playing video games.
       A recent survey found that in the US children between 8 and 12 spent at least 13 hours a week playing video games or “gaming”. Boys of this age spend even more time, almost 16 hours a week. Although some people will say that gaming is helpful, it brings many problems as well.
       One big problem is that kids who spend most of their time on games might have difficulty communicating with real people. They might have trouble sharing and resolving problems because they do not practice these shills when sitting alone at a computer.
Another problem is about health. Game players usually sit for hours without doing any exercise. And they might not eat healthily. As a result, they might be out of shape.
       Next, game players might have trouble with their lessons. Many of them spend more time playing games than working on their homework. In the end, _______________.
      Finally, it is always possible that the gamers become addicted(成瘾). Some people play four or five hours a day or even all day. This happened to a 28-year-old Korean man. He spent about 50 hours playing an online game without sleeping or eating well. He died while gaming!
      This is one example of the dangers of video gaming. It tells us that video gaming, like everything else, should not be done too much. A few hours a week should not hurt, but several hours a day just might be dangerous to your health.

Some British and American people like to invite friends and colleagues(同事）for a meal at home. You should not be upset if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you.

Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 pm, and end at about 11.Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a present.

Do you want to be extra(特别的）polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember--not to ask how much things cost.

You'll probably start the meal with soup, or something small as a “starter”(开胃菜),then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then a dessert, followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it. Some people eat bread with their meal, but not everyone does.

Before they take out their cigarettes after the meal, most people usually ask, “Do you mind if I smoke here?” Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short “thank you” letter. Perhaps it seems funny to you, but British and American people say” thank you ,thank you, and thank you” all the time.
