M: Lingling, do you like to eat the peach or the apple?

W: The peach, thanks. But we are not supposed to eat too many peaches in summer.

M: Why?

W: In China, people believe if you eat too many peaches in summer, you will have inner heat.

M: Does it mean I will feel hot?

W: Not exactly, but you may feel uncomfortable. You may feel thirsty often.

M: That sounds funny. I've never heard of it in Britain or America.

W: And we prefer to eat pears in summer, which will make us feel comfortable.

M: It's interesting.

听下面一段对话，回答第8至第9两个小题。

W: Have you ever been invited to a Chinese dinner?

M: Sure.

W: Is dining at a Chinese dinner table different from that in your country?

M: Certainly. To begin with, I have to use chopsticks.

W: But you are good at using them now.

M: After all, I've been here for two years. But I still make mistakes at a Chinese dinner table.

W: Aha! Table manners. There are lots of rules that foreigners might never know until they are told. Please don't stick your chopsticks into your food!

M: Oh, sorry! I've been told about this rule once before.

听下面一段独白，回答第10至第12三个小题。

M: Good afternoon, everyone. You are now listening to the English Culture Radio. We know different countries have different manners. Here are some examples：If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you should not go in before the host says “Come in, please.” Before coming into the house in Japan, it is good for you to take off your shoes. In England, a guest always finishes the drink or food to show that he enjoys it. This will make the host very pleased. You are welcome to listen to our program at the same time tomorrow, goodbye! 听下面一段对话，回答第13至第15三个小题。

W: I am going to a French friend's house tonight. Do you have any thoughts on what I should bring?

M: You can't go wrong with wine, and it is not a bad idea to ask your host first. If he says you don't need to bring anything, you should still bring wine, anyway.

W: Is there anything else I need to know? I just don't want to seem impolite.

M: Well, first, you should arrive a little later than the time your host has told you, but not too late. And don't bring any friends unless you've asked your host first.

W: What about table manners?

M: You should keep your elbows off the table at all times, and never fill your own glass. Also, don't start drinking until your host has already done so. When in doubt, just watch how the other guests do.

W: I hope I won't make a fool of myself.

M: Don't worry! You'll be fine.

第三节

听下面一篇短文。请用你所听到的内容，填写表格中所缺单词，每空限填一词。短文读两遍。

W: Dear Sam，

I'm glad to receive your email. The relationship between parents and children in China is different from that in America. In China, parents are not used to saying “I love you” to their children. But in America, parents often express their love to their children with loving words. And in China, children are not allowed to call their parents' names. It's not polite. But in America, it's OK to do this. In China, parents always look after their children until they are old enough. But in America, parents often encourage their children to do things by themselves. I think parents should not only teach children to do their things by themselves but also make them feel love. Do you agree with me?

Yours,

      Teresa
