So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means“rich coast”in Spanish. Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas.Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most importantexport. Costa Ricans also grow many other things such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years . Boys and girls go to separate schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.41.

The differences between northerners(北方人）and southerners（南方人）arealways a popular topic among Chinese.Now another difference draws wide attention: The way northerners and southerners shop for food at markets.People from southern China would like to buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for th em to buy just half a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time. However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual.Also, when you go to the market in the south, you can buy very little fruit, such as an apple or pear. Shop owners even help you peel (削皮) and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service .The difference could be because of the different climate(气候).Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northerners have the habit of stocking up (囤货) on food. But because of the hot and wet weather in the south, southern Chinese would like to buy just enough food for one meal or one day.Maybe these debates about differences help us Chinese know more about each other. 46.Which of the following things is quite normal for people to see in shops in northern China?A.Shop owners help customers peel melons.B.Shop owners help customers cut pineapples.C.Customers buy one banana, and half a cauliflower.D.Customers buy a large number of vegetables at one time.47. What do northerners think of a person who buys only two potatoes?A. Funny.B. Smart.C. PoorD. Lovely.48. Why do southerners and northerners shop so differently?A. Because there are more shops in the south than in the north.B. Because northerners are richer than southerners.C. Because southerners usually eat less at each meal.D. Because the local climate influences their shopping habits.49. According to the writer, ______.A.Zongzi is always a popular topic among Chinese.B.We Chinese may get to know each other better by the debates.C.People don’t pay any attention to the debates about differences.D.Either buying a lot or a little at one time is a very stupid thing.50. The story is mainly about _____.A. the debate between sweet and salty zongziB. the difference eating habits between southerners and northernersC. the different shopping habits of southe rners and northernersD. the different food at southern and northern marketsPart B （85 scores）I.
