So the camel was very proud of himself and he always showed off his beautiful and magnificent antlers to the others.One day, the camel went to drink at the nearby river. A deer came then out of the woods, bowed to him, and said rather sadly:“I was invited to a party tonight, but how can I go there with such a bare forehead? Even if it is just for one hour, I wish to go with such beautiful antlers as yours. Dear friend, could you lend me your antlers for tonight? Ill return them tomorrow, when you come here to drink.”The camel, though he was a little vain, had a good heart and took pity on the poor deers bald head. So he took his antlers off and gave them to the deer, saying, “Well, tomorrow when I come to drink, you must return them to me.”The deer quickly took the antlers and disappeared into the woods. On his way, he met a horse and told him how he had got his antlers.The horse, who had also been invited to the party, thought he would like to find a nice body decoration, too. He then went to the camel and asked him to give him his tail. The kind-hearted camel trusted the horse and gave him his tail.The next day, the camel went to the meeting point as agreed. While waiting, he was drinking water and stretching his neck to see if the deer and the horse would come. But none of them showed up. Many days and years have passed since then, and the poor camel has still not got back his antlers or his tail.Because he drank too much water while awaiting the deer and the horse, the camel has got a hump full of water; and because he stretched his neck gazing long and hard for the deer and the horse, his neck has grown long.The horse kept his tail but, whenever he sees the camel in the distance, he runs away.As to the deer, he also kept his antlers, but he has to change them every year because the luck of having antlers did not belong to him but to the camel, and he only got them by betraying the camel.30 . What does “antlers” mean in the passage?A鬃毛B蹄C角D驼峰31 . How did the camel get his hump in the story?AThe camel exchanged his antlers with the hump of the horse.BHe drank too much water while waiting.CAfter fighting with the deer and the horse, he got injured.DHe got it as a present from the deer and the horse.32 . All the following words can describe the camel EXCEPT_ .AvainBkind-heartedCproudDclever33 . The RIGHT order of the following sentences might be_ .Once, the camel had a beautiful tail and antlers.The horse was invited to a party and borrowed the tail from the camel.The camel lent antlers to the deer.The camel went to the meeting point. Neither the deer nor the horse showed up.The camel had a hump full of water and a long neck.ABCD（题文）My name is Dave. On school days, I live in my school. Its across from a bookstore.

One of my friends explained that a gentleman will pour the lemonade(柠檬水) for the ladies and show other good manners.Toward the end of my three-week trip, I was invited by my Russian friend Nicolai Vasilevich and his wife Yulya out to dinner. At the end of a wonderful meal, Yulya asked if I would like a banana. I politely declined (婉谢) and thanked her, and explained I was most satisfied（满意的） with the meal. But my mind was racing: “What should I do? Should I offer her a banana though they are as close to her as they are to me? What is the polite thing to do?”“Would you like a banana?” I asked Yulya.“Yes,” she smiled, but didnt try to take any of the three bananas in the fruit basket.“Which one would you like?” I asked again.“That one,” she pointed at one of the bananas. So thinking about Russian politeness, I picked the banana Yulya had pointed at. Then Ipeeledit half way and handed it to her. Smiles on Yulyas and Nicolais faces told me I had done the right thing. After this experience, I spent much time letting the world know that in Russia, the polite thing was to peel bananas for ladies.However, sometime during my third trip I learned I was wrong.“Oh no, David,” a Russian politely corrected me. “In Russia, when a man peels a banana for a lady, it means he has a romantic（浪漫的）interest in her. ” How embarrassed (尴尬) I felt.So to communicate properly with people of different cultures, we should watch carefully how people of the same culture communicate with each other. Besides, dont be afraid to ask questions about their culture.39 . Before his first visit to Russia, the writer learned Russian gentlemen are polite to _.AforeignersBstrangersCfriendsDwomen40 .
