About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的). No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .Learning the language of a country isnt enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesnt agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty. In that country, you shake your head to mean yes a nod means no. At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up. If you think that you have had enough, you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe its quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble. Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult its just not done in Thailand .（1）The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _.A . were foreignersB . didnt have ticketsC . made a loud noiseD . didnt line up for the bus（2）Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A . If you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you only need to learn the language of the country.B . In India it is considered polite to touch an adults head.C . To cross ones legs at an important meeting in Europe is a common habit.D . In Bulgaria, if you dont want to drink, you should cover the cup with your hand.（3）The best title for this article is _.A . Peoples Everyday LifeB . Mind Your MannersC . Habit is quite importantD . Language and customs四、 阅读短文。 (共1题；共5分)16. （5分）选择恰当的句子完成对话。请将正确答案序号按要求涂在答题卡指定位置。Reading is a good hobby for all kinds of reason.First, reading is fun. _.
