Skin-diving is a new sport today. This sport takes you into a wonderful new world.
It is like a visit to the moon. When you are under water, it is easy for you to climb big
rocks, because you are no longer heavy.
Here, under water, everything is blue and green. During the day, there is plenty of light.
When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands.
When you have tanks of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time.
But you must be careful when you dive in deep water.
To catch fish is one of the most interesting parts of this sport. Besides, there are more
uses for skin-diving. You can clean ships without taking them out of water. You can get many
things from the deep sea.
Now you see that skin-diving is both useful and interesting. |

for example, speakers of British English say "in hospital" and "Have you a pen?"
Americans say "in the hospital" and "Do you have a pen?" Pronunciation is sometimes
different. For example, when a learner is used to the British pronunciation [da:ns] (dance),
he may not understand the American pronunciation [dzens]. There are differences between
British and American English in spelling. For example, "travelled" and "honour" are British,
"traveled" and "honor" are American. However, for the most part, British and American
English are the same language. | | 1.______ Between British and American English | | 阅读理解。 | The Chinese New Year is the most important holiday for the Chinese people. For the Chinese, the New

| | 阅读理解。 | People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one
country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn"t lift your bowl to your mouth when
you are having some liquid (液体) food. But it"s different in China. And in Japan you even needn"t
worry about making noises when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. But it is regarded as
bad manners (礼貌，方式) in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you
to have? They wish you to give a loud "burp" (打嗝) after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like
the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when your"re having a meal. In Mexico,
however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab countries you
must be very careful with your hands. You mustn"t eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad
manners to eat with left hands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well,
just do in Rome as the Romans do. You can ask the native (本土的) people to help you or just watch
carefully and follow them. | | 1. According to the passage, making noises when you have liquid food isn"t bad manners in ______. | A. China

"carols (颂歌)". Maybe you can name some famous carols like "Jingle Bells" and"Silent Night". They
bring a lot of joy to everyone at Christmas. A Christmas carol is about the themes (主题) of Christmas,
or the winter eason in general. People sing carols in the period before and during Christmas. The
tradition of Christmas rols dates back to the 13th century in Europe. Today carols are regularly sung
at religious (宗教的) services in churches (教堂). Traditional carols have a strong tune (音调) and have
a chorus (合唱) for group singing. The music sounds peaceful and calm, and they give people good
thoughts about holidays, good food and gifts.In places like England, groups of singers travel from door
to door in neighbourhoods, singing carols. They are often given small rewards like money, pies or a
glass of good drink. The money collected in this way is often given to help poor people. In Australia,
where Christmas is in the summer, people like to sing carols at candlelight (烛光) concerts. The concerts
are held outdoors at night in cities and towns during the weeks leading up to Christmas. People sing and
celebrate Christmas holding lit candles in their hands.
