举一反三

       These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear formal (正式的) clothes. But sometimes
it is important to wear the right thing. Many British people don"t think about clothes very much. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost(几乎) anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts (音乐会) you can put on anything you like: from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything
goes, as long as you look clean and tidy. But in Britain, as well as in the US, men in offices usually wear
suits and ties and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors and business people always wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women have to wear
tidy dresses.
       In many ways, Americans are less formal than British people, but they are more careful with their
clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal (非正式的) or sports clothes. But when
they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women have to wear pretty clothes.
       It is difficult to say exactly (确切地) what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone is
different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You"ll feel
good if you don"t look too different from everyone else.1. The best title (题目) for this passage (文章) would be ______.A. what British and American people wear nowadays (现在)
B. office manners (习俗) in Britain and the US
C. differences between British and American business men
D. no trousers for office ladies2. People in Britain and the US wear informal clothes when they _______.A. go out to enjoy themselves

阅读理解             How to greet people from a different country? Most people will say " Hello " or " Nice to meet
you ".  That"s right. But greeting is never just that. To be both polite and friendly , you should know
something more.
        In most western countries, people usually shake hands when they meet. The British  only  say
" hello" when they see friends. That"s why French people think the British are unfriendly and impolite.
They kiss friends on both cheeks(面颊) each time they meet and leave. How-ever, to Americans,
kiss is very strange between two male friends.
       When you come to Polynesia, you can take people"s hands to touch your face. That"s a way to
show friend-ship. In Canada, people rub noses when they meet friends. In Tibet, China, you should
bow and stick your tongue out. It shows you have no bad thoughts because you cannot curse(诅咒)
people when your tongue"s out.
       Some of the ways above to greet people might be strange for you, but do remember: when in
Rome, do as the Romans do.1. What can we infer from the first paragraph?   A. The ways of greet people in different countries are different.
B. Most people like  to  say " Hello" than" Nice  to  meet you " .
