The French are the best. Its the Germans who dont have a good habit of standing in line. They cant stand to wait for anything. They begin to shout loudly and noisily if the line doesnt seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast enough for them.The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line to get tickets, to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people who are good at forming (排成) queues feel that they move along faster. For example, in Britain, the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a half minutes. In Germany or Sweden people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend double the time as the British in queues. They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others time.The expert who did the research had asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do. In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said, I m terribly sorry. I didnt realize there was a queue. Do go before me. People smiled and said. Oh, thats all right, one more wont matter much. It was also found in France, where 80 of the people didnt mind standing in line only if they were treated politely. While in Germany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face. The expert said, If only they could learn from the British and the French to think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing, they might find that the queue then moves faster.（1）The research shows that the people in _ are the most polite in standing in line.A . SwedenB . BritainC . FranceD .

Maybe the number of cars in California is the same as the number in China. But there are fewer traffic jams and accidents in America than in China. We hardly see traffic police in the street, but all drivers obey strictly traffic rules, and people hardly find that someone does not obey traffic rules in the street.About American traffic rules, there are many better terms, such as:Stop line:There are stop lines in all crossing without traffic light(some have two stop lines and others have four stop lines)；all cars must stop while meeting the stop line.Traffic lights:There are traffic lights in the crossing of the road. Cars may almost turn every direction；the traffic lights can give signals step by step including Urum. There is a kind of middle lane of turning left. When a driver wants to turn left in the road. he may enter into the middle lane (车道)of turning left and give a signal of turning left. when he thinks its safe, he may turn left.Specific item:Such as parking, there are three kinds of lines(its colors are white, blue or red)in the roadside. Every line may park different kinds of cars. There are many streets in some residential areas(住宅区), and no car can park at any time or any period of time.About the priority(优先权)of passengers and cars:At any case, passengers have thepriority to cars. But only after passengers have passed the road and gotten the top of sidestep, cars may go ahead. In general, traffic rules of America are very specific, convenient and safe.（1）If you meet a stop line while driving a car in the crossing without traffic lights, .

It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local(当地的)family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitors language ability,” said a teacher during a school meeting last term. “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you wont be disappointed(失望的).”After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family(寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sightseeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast.

In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is just across the bus stop.In the Midwest of America, usually there are not many landmarks. So people will tell you directions(方向) and distance. In Kansas(堪萨斯州), for example, people will say, Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure(测量) distance by telling time. How far is the post office? you ask. Oh, they answer, its about five minutes walk from here. You say, Yes, but how many miles away is it？ They dont know. People in Greece(希腊) sometimes do not even try to give directions because few visitors understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, Follow me. Then hell lead you through the streets of the city to the post office. 根据短文内容回答问题。（1）Do most streets have names in Japan？(不超过5个词) （2）Why do people in Los Angeles measure distance by telling time？(不超过10个词) （3）How many countries does the passage tell us？(不超过5个词) 四、 根据句意和音标提示以适当形式填写正确的单词。 (共7题；共18分)15. （1分）After the storm，he found many f_trees on the road. 16. （1分）Fruits and vegetables are h_ food.
