In Russia, you should never shake hands in a doorway, and if youre travelling in Thailand, never touch peoples heads or point your feet at people. When the Japanese meet new people, they like giving business cards-but you should read the card carefully, not just put it in your pocket.In most countries in Europe people expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them, but in many Asian countries a lot of eye contact seems unfriendly. And in South America people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk, but in countries like the USA you need to give people more personal space. Also, its rude to interrupt Japanese people while they are talking to you. You must wait until they finish before you start speaking.In restaurants in China you can leave a bit of food on your plate, its OK to start smoking before other people finish eating, which you mustnt do in the UK. When in India, remember to eat with your right hand. Also avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia-thats bad luck.When youre travelling in Asia, if someone invites you to his or her home, dont forget to take off your shoes when you arrive. And if you visit an Arab familys home, dont admire anything valuable because your host will feel he should give it to you as a present.With so much to think about, its not surprising that many people prefer going on holiday in their own countries- or you might just decide to stay at home.（1）Which of the following statements is TRUE? A . We can admire anything valuable in an Arab familys home.B . In China, people cannot smoke before other people finish eating.C . In Russia, its impolite to shake hands with people in a doorway.（2）What does the underlined word interrupt mean in Chinese?

But tails are like opinions, actually, everyone has them: fishes, birds, most reptiles, and even some of our closest relativesSince tails first evolved(进化) at least 500 million years ago. Geckos (壁虎)use them to store fat. birds use them to steer through the air, But for most mammals (哺乳动物)._Yet, as you get closer to humans on the evolutionary tree, tails disappear, Gorillas(大猩猩)don t have them, and neither do chimps(黑猩猩) or any other apes (类人猿) including us, of course, To understand why, take a look at how we walk._walking like this gives us a huge advantage because unlike fourlegged animals. which have to pour energy into every step they take, two legs take advantage of gravity(重力),which does some of the work for us. You see, each time we take a step, gravity pulls us forward. The end result is that when we walk, we use around 25% less energy than walking on all fours, and this way of getting around also totally eliminate (淘汰) the need for a tail.Its said that you can still see a reminder of a time when our ancient ancestors had one. Just look at a human spine(脊椎)._Thats your tailbone. Its all thats the rest of our tail.Now, babies are born with what looks like a tail, but thats not whats really going on. Most often, these tails are actually a parasitic twin(寄生虫). These types of tails usually form as a birth defect(瑕疵)._So the tail of humans has gone, its the result of evolution millions of years Will humans be much taller, stronger or smarter in the future?A. Nowadays, humans can walk completely upright.B. And in these situations, doctors will advise to remove the tails with no harm to the babiesC. they serve one major purposebalance.D. You can see how the last few bones are partly fused(融合) together六、 补全对话 (共2题；共2分)14. （1分）在对话的空白处填入适当的词语，使对话完整通顺，每空一词。A: What did you do in your Chinese class today?B: We _ a poem.A: _ the author?B: Its Du Fu.
