[2016·广东揭阳一中检测]When traveling, it's important to learn about the customs and etiquette of the global village. What we consider politeW1 behavior at home isn't always accepted outside our borders.
●Etiquette of Gift Giving
Gift giving should be a happy, positive experience. When selecting a present for someone in Netherlands, don't purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors. Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unluckyW2. Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or a business partner in Russia. Yellow blooms suggest cheat or a relationship break up. Traditionally, red carnations are placed on the tombs of the dead. Writing cards or notes while visiting South Korea, be mindful of your pen's ink color. Writing a person's name in red ink traditionally suggests that the person has passed awayP1—an important point to remember when giving a birthday card.
●Eating Customs
Being early or on time is viewed as being rude, too eager or even greedyW3 in Venezuela. If you are invited to someone's home for a meal, it's recommended that you arrive 10 minutes later than the requested time.S When having a meal in Egypt, don't use the salt shaker (盐瓶). It's insulting to your host to spread salt on your food, which means that you find the meal terrible. Japan is a very polite nation, and their fondness for etiquette extendsW4 to the use of chopsticks. According toP2 Japanese custom, if you're in the middle of eating, use the opposite end of your chopsticks to secureW5 food from a shared plate. When doing business in Turkey, it's the custom for your host to pay for your meal. Requests to split the bill won't be accepted. If you would like to pay your fair share, Turks recommend inviting your host to a follow-up meal.
本文讲述的是两种旅游礼仪——送礼物和就餐礼仪。 1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Giving a fancy kitchen knife to a friend from Russia is a good choice. B.You can use blue ink to write notes to your friend from South Korea.
C.Dining with Japanese, one can use either end of the chopsticks to get food from shared plates.
D.Invited to a meal, one should arrive earlier to show respect for the host.

B.A travel essay. D.A food magazine.
B．Challenging. D.Offensive.
答案：D 词义猜测题。根据第三段“which means that you find the meal terrible.”可推测

[2015·兰州一中期中]It is commonly believed that the earliest Chinese paper-cuts appeared during the sixth century.S Some scholars believe it was even earlier. Legend has it that during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24), Emperor Wudi was very sad after one of his favorite concubines, Madame Li, died. A Taoist priest, Li Shaoweng, cut a piece of hemp paper in the shape ofP1 Madame Li. When evening fell, the emperor's servants lit candles in his bedroom; the reflectionW1 of that paper-cut on the wall made the emperor think about his beloved concubine.
The Yuxian paper-cut is different fromP2 most paper-cuts produced in other regions of China. Paper-cuts from other regions are mostly cut—with scissors or knives—from single-colored paper,
such as red or black paper.
There are four major procedures to making the Yuxian paper-cut: First, sketch the pattern on
the draft paper; second, fasten the draft to the paper to be cut; third, use a knife to carve out the pattern; and fourth, dye (染色) the paper-cut with various colors.
Precise cutting skills are needed to make a piece of the Yuxian paper-cut, which highlightsW2 the craft maker's artistic taste and dyeing skills. That explains the following saying: “The successful making of a Yuxian paper-cut is 30 percent dependentW3 on the maker's cutting skills, and 70 percent on the maker's dyeing skills.”
The traditional Yuxian paper-cut highlights two themes: Flowers and characters in Chinese
operas. The paper-cut is particularlyW4 known for its vivid description of characters in various traditional Chinese operas. In October 2009, the art of Yuxian's paper-cut was added to the list of intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) establishedW5 by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization)．

actors!
Next, shooting begins! __3__ Often a director will want to get several “takes” (versions) of a scene or moment and usually only a few minutes of the movie are finished in one day's work. __4__ So once filming is completed, the director must then work with editors to piece them all together, deciding which takes to use and adding in any special effects or touch-ups.
