They include how to handle knives, forks and spoons and how to eat in a polite manner. To behave well abroad, you are to know some table manners. EATING MANNERS Japan: It is "perfectly" okay to slurp when you eat noodles. Unlike making big noises, slurping slightly is not rude. Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp. Russia: Your wrists should be placed on the edge of the table while eating, fork in left hand, and knife in the right. It is not good manners to rest them on your lap. Keep your elbows off the table. Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat. France: Never discuss money or religion over dinner. What is different from the manners in Russia is that finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners. Mexico: Whenever you catch the eye of someone who' s eating, even a stranger, it' s good manners to say "provecho", which means enjoy. In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. It's a social occasion - lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours. Where you sit matters in the country. Before you get seated, look for place cards, or wait until the host seats you. And you must say "enjoy your meal" before you leave the table. DRINKING MANNERS America: If you empty a bottle into someone's glass, it obliges that person to buy the next bottle. It's polite to put the last drops into your own glass. Australia: In a pub it' s usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it' s your turn, say "It's my round". When it's their round, they will buy it for you. Don't leave before you've bought a round. Japan: Don' t fill your own glass of alcohol. Instead, you should pour for others and wait for them to do it for you.31.When you are at table in Mexico, you should _.

D. C The brown bears at Helsinki ' s Korkeasaari Zoo received a particular treat, thanks to the generosity of a young boy. Twelve-year-old Otso Riiali donated 200 euros to the zoo to give the bears new climbing trees, without which he thought they would be in danger. Otso, from the small town of Karjalohja west of Helsinki, says he saved up the money by selling 400 bottles of homemade berry juice with the help of his grandmother. "It was hard work and my back hurt badly from all the bending in the forest while 1 was picking berries. " said Otso. A visit to the bear shelter a few years ago drove Otso to bring some cheer to the animals, which he said didn't seem energetic. "Otso could have kept all he made by means of selling juice for himself, but he made a decision to give a part of it to help animals. Otso showed an unusual ability to act. He did not stop at seeing what a bad situation the bears were in. Instead, he began to act in a practical way and made it. " The zoo gladly accepted Otso' s donation. However, bear caretaker Tiina Koivu mentioned that the bears' foot-dragging (步履蹒跚) at the time of Otso's visit was caused by the summer heat. It happens that the name Otso is also an old Finnish (芬兰的) word for bear. "1 was born to be a bear lover." said Otso with a smile.38.The underlined word "euros" in the first paragraph probably means a kind of _. A. food B. tree C. animal D. money39.

D. 41.What' s the main idea of the passage A. Otso means bear in Finnish. B. Otso made a donation to help the bears. C. Otso could make berry juice. D. Otso should be respected by all of us.DThe bank of England is making plans to introduce plastic banknotes to the UK. Paper notes, meaning pieces of paper money, have been used in England for more than 300 years, but replacing them with plastic ones could be better. Plastic notes were first introduced to Australia back in 1988. Since then other countries, including Romania, Vietnam, Mexico and Malaysia, have also begun using money made in this way. Fans of water sports, such as surfing, find this type of money more useful and easier, as they can take it with them in the water and won't worry that it will fall apart. It is also good for people who by mistake put clothes in the washing machine with a note in the pocket! It is more hygienic (clean and free of bacteria) than paper money as it absorbs less bacteria(the simplest and smallest form of plants, some of which cause disease). And it is stronger. This means it lasts longer. According to a survey, a usual 5 note in the UK lasts around six months, while the $5 Australian bill lasts for an average of 40 months. A downside of plastic cash is that it costs more money to produce. Cash and money-counting machines will also have to be adapted to accept the new money. It is expected that the Bank of England, who hopes to start printing plastic notes from 2015, will introduce the money slowly, using the most common notes first.42.Which country was the first to use plastic notes A. The UK. B. Romania. C. Vietnam. D. Australia.43. You can
