The following is what people do in some countries.★Wei Hongxing, China: You must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the sound of the word for "clock" is like the word for "death" in Chinese. Also, don't wrap(包裹) a present in white paper because it is the color people use when someone dies. Don't give a knife, because it will cut a relationship.★Eugen Karpenko, Russia: If we give flowers as a present, we have to give an odd number of them (for example, one, three, five…) because an even number of flowers (for example, two, four, six...) are for dead people. If we give a present of drink and the host(主人) opens it, we should empty it together.★Rosie Kuhlmann, Germany: Flowers are a good present to take to your dinner hostess (女主人), but don't take her red roses, because it means you love her. Don't take an even number of anything, either. Don't take thirteen of anything because it's an unlucky number. Don't wrap your present in white, brown or black paper.()1. Chinese people never give_________ as presents.A. rosesB. flowersC. drinkD. clocks()2. What is an unlucky number in Germany?A. Three.B. Seven.C. Thirteen.D. Any number.()3. Rosie Kuhlmann can wrap her present in __________ paper.A. white.B. pink.C. brown.D. black.()4. The passage tells us that we should not wrap presents in white paper in_____________.A. China and RussiaB. China and GermanyC. Russia and GermanyD. all the countries()5. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Chinese people give knives as presents.B. "Two" is a lucky number both in Russia and Germany.C. In Russia, people are free to give flowers of any number.D. It is necessary to choose the right flowers for the hostess as presents in Germany.BIt seems to be strange to most of you that there is a blind spot (盲点) on your eyes. Here is an interesting experiment that can make something disappear, when one eye is open.Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters L and R on it, L on the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80cm away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you moved the card slowly towards you, you’ll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, you’ll find the letter R disappearing.Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eyes. When the image (影像) of the letter falls on the blind spot, i t won’t be seen. That is why either of the letters disappears.()6. The writer of the passage thinks that __________ there is a blind spot on the eye. A. few people know B. no one knows C. most people know D. all the people know()7. The w ord “disappear” in the passage means _________ in Chinese.A. 驱散B.消散C.消失D.遗失()8. You fail to see the letter L in the experiment because _______.A. your eyes are poorB. its image falls on the blind spotC. you move it close to your eyeD.our left eye is not open()9. In which order should you do the experiment?①. Hold the card. ②. Move the card nearer.③. Close your right eye. ④. Write two English letters.⑤. Look at the letter R. ⑥. Make a card.A. ④⑥①②③⑤B. ①③⑥④⑤②C. ⑥①④③②⑤D. ⑥④①③⑤②()10. The passage mainly tells us____________.A. there is a blind spot on the eyesB. an interesting experimentC. where the blind spot isD. how to find the blind spotCThere was little rain in some place for two years and a lot of people died of hunger. So a man reported a famine(饥荒)to an official(官员).
