Here are the results.Most students do the housework twice or three times a week. They often clean their rooms. Some students do the housework five times a week. They often clean the floor. Some students help their parents on the farm. They think their parents are too busy, so they help them.The results for “wash clothes” are interesting. Some students wash clothes once or twice a week. They often wash clothes on Saturdays or Sundays. Some students wash clothes three or four times a week. They only wash their own clothes. But most students wash their clothes once a week. And they wash clothes on Sundays.Liu Ying, a girl in Class 4, Grade 8, has lots of housework to do. She washes the dishes and cleans the floor every day. She often cooks, sometimes three times a day.

Just a few years ago, it was considered to be impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesnt matter? What about table manners (行为)?The Americans and British people not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England, people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to women, and so will most Americans. Promptness (准时) is important both in England and in America. That is, the dinner guest (客人) either arrive close to the time that has been made or calls up to explain his delay (耽误).The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal dinner party. When the food was served (服务), one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or greatly surprised, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.（1）The underlined phrase “make a fool of himself” in the first paragraph means .A . make himself strongB . make himself richC . make himself comfortableD . make himself seemed like a fool（2）If a dinner invitation is for six oclock, the guest is supposed to arrive at six.A . nearly or a minute or two later thanB . a quarter pastC . a quarter toD . much later than（3）The last example in the passage shows .A . the correct way to use a knife at tableB . that it is good manners not to make your guest feel foolish or uncomfortableC . that social customs and ways of behaving change too fastD . that different counties have different customs（4）The best title of the passage is .A . Different CustomsBSocial CustomsB . Customs Are Changing FastC . Different CountriesD . Different Customs15. （10分）根据短文内容，选择正确答案。(A)In England, traffic keeps on the left. Cars, buses and bikes all move on the left side of the road. But the traffic keeps on the right in China. So when you are in England, you must be very careful in the street. Before you cross a street you must stop and look both ways. Look right and look left and look right again. If the traffic lights are red, the traffic must stop. Then the people on foot can cross the road. If the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go. People on foot mustnt cross.In the morning and in the evening, when people go to or come back from work, the streets are very busy. Traffic is very dangerous (危险的).When you go by bus in England, you have to be careful, too. Always remember（记住）the traffic moves on the left. If you dont have a look first, you will go the wrong way.In many English cities, there are big buses with two floors. You can sit on the second floor. From there you can see the city very well. Its very interesting.（1）When you are in England you must remember that _.A . youd better go by busB . the traffic goes on the leftC . the streets are very busyD . there are many cars and buses on the road（2）When the traffic lights are _, the traffic must stop.A .
