Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of over 10 million and heavy traffic. Im very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the city. There are Mr and Mrs Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma.I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda. The school teaches about 70 per cent in English, and 30 per cent in Thai. Ive learned some spoken language, but Thai writing is very difficult. The cooking lesson is my favourite. Im 19100 112 learning all about Thai food and culture. People dont use chopsticks here, but spoons and forks. When I come back, Im going to cook you a real Thai meal.Last weekend we visited some temples. We also drove to Pattaya Beach near Bangkok. I thought it was great, but Sanan and Chinda say that next month theyre going to take me to Phuket Island, where the beaches are even more beautiful. The month after next, were going to travel to Mr Phairats home town in the north of Thailand. The Phairats own land there, and they have two elephants. Im going to ride those elephants-and even wash them. Sanan and Chinda say its really fun. Im amazed by everything in this country especially by the elephants.Elephants are an important part of Thai culture and way of life. They have been a traditional symbol of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace. In the seventh century, a Thai king trained 20, 000 elephants for battle.

Pete used to spend his holidays traveling around the world visiting the pyramids in Egypt or scuba diving (水肺潜水) in the Caribbean. Nowadays, he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, hes found the joy of DIY (do it yourself) home repairs. This means that if theres anything that needs fixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself.Pete showed me his new kitchen, which he put together himself, and his newly-painted walls. I asked him where he got the idea to do these things. He told me that his favourite source (来源) of ideas is a DIY program on TV.This got me thinking about how popular DIY programs are in the UK. Each main channel (频道) has at least one home or garden makeover show. There are even channels totally on the subject.I suppose its not really surprising that DIY programs are so popular. There are two common sayings in Britain “an Englishmans home is his castle (城堡)” and “theres no place like home” which show how important our houses are to us. With the social changes of the last ten years or so, many people cant afford to buy bigger houses. So they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY, clearly, is the perfect choice.（1）Pete usually spent his holidays _ in the past. A . traveling round the worldB . visiting EgyptC . diving in the CaribbeanD . building a new house（2）What do most British people enjoy doing nowadays? A . Finishing their work at home.B . Doing everything on their own.C . Spending their spare time at home.D . Doing the home repairs themselves.（3）How did Pete manage to make his house more beautiful? A . He asked house builders for advice.B . He got help from a DIY TV program.C . He called some of his friends for help.D . He paid workers to do the house work.（4）What does the underlined word “makeover” in Paragraph 3 probably means? A . 修建B . 交换C . 修饰D . 化妆（5）DIY programs have become popular because _. A . other programs are too boring to watchB . people are spending more time watching TVC . people cant afford new houses any moreD . people are spending more time fixing their houses21. （8分）阅读理解 Having good manners（礼节）is an important part of life. You know that you should never shout in public（公共场合）. But what about when it comes to the online world? When you use social media apps（社交媒体应用）, like WeChat and Sina Weibo, you must also remember to mind your manners.For example, sometimes I need to add a new friend on WeChat. But I havent met him or her yet in real life. So when I send them a friend request（请求）, I tell them clearly who I am and how I got their contact info（联系方式）.Just like in real life, the key to keeping good manners online is to be thoughtful. But sometimes, people forget this.One of my friends likes to send really long voice messages on WeChat. It is difficult to keep up with all his messages and remember everything. I think this is a bit bad!There are many other things that you shouldnt do on social media. Take a look and remember to do your best to be polite.Dont share your friends WeChat contact info with people you dont know. Ask your friend first before sharing.Dont add someone new to your group chat without asking the other members. They might not want new people to join the group.If you use English, dont use all caps. IF YOU WRITE LIKE THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE YOURE SCREAMING. DONT DO IT.（1）From Paragraph 1, we can learn that . A . shouting in public is badB . shouting online is goodC . WeChat is more popular than Sina WeiboD . internet users dont have manners（2）When adding a new friend on WeChat, we should . A . ask for a face-to-face meetingB . ask for the persons real nameC . say clearly how we got their contact infoD . send them a real letter later（3）What example does the writer use to show bad manners?
