   “This sounds like a good idea ,” he thought. “I'll spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I will enjoy horse riding,walking and fishing. They’ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming. ”

   He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July,he left for West Hill Farm.

   But four days later,he returned home.

   “What was wrong with West Hill Farm?”His best friend,Ed ,asked him. “Didn’t you enjoy country life?”

   “Country life was very good ,” Henry said ,“but there was another problem. ”

   “Oh. What?”

   “Well ,” he said ,“The first day I was there a sheep died,and we had roast mutton (烤羊肉) for dinner”. “What's wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best. ”

   “I know,but on the second day a cow died,and we had roast beef for dinner. ”

   “Lucky you!”

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)要求完成下列各題。

   Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories,he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.

   Born in 1881 to a wealthy family,Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893,however,his grandfather,a senior government official,was put into prison for taking money. At the same time,his father became badly ill. From then on,his family was no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.

   By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899,he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japan. There he began writing articles for several Chinese students magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books,although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.

   After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing,Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918,he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke,which helped make it a great success. This,together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q (1921) , made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.

   Although successful,Lu Xun still worried greatly about China's future. In 1927,he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “pen warfare”. He only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this,the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He had to write his articles using false names.

   Since his death in 1936,Lu Xun's importance and influence have grown. Today,many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world.[2013 廣東廣州改編]

1. What greatly influenced Lu Xun's writing according to the passage?

2. According to the passage,why was Lu Xun^ story Diary of a Madman so popular?

3. What does the underlined word “This” mean?

4. What did Lu Xun mainly write after moving to Shanghai?

  Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal. 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.(江蘇省連云港市2013年中考)

How to Teach a Child Respect

As a child grows out of being an infant（嬰兒）and begins to notice and react to the world around them, you may find yourself wondering how you possibly pass all of the things that they need to become a responsible, respectful adult. 1. A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others in kind, but learns to respect himself as well.

Instructions

★ Show your child respect. This is perhaps the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child by giving her your full attention and she will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in relationships.

★ 2. The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them with you and others. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.

★ Agree to disagree. 3. Explain your decision so that she will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn’t equate to disobedience.

★ Control your impulse to overreact. When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness, keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior. 4.

★ Praise, praise, praise! So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that the accomplishments are not celebrated enough. 5.

A．Teach your child manners by using polite requests and responses.

B．Try to remember that a child won’t always agree with you.

C．Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.

D．If he sees you lose your temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future.

E．A child may act like he pleases, but will respect being given limits.

F．When you see your child exhibit respectful behavior, make sure he knows just how proud you are of him.

G．Signs such as sudden poor performance in school, behaviors like fears and threats accompany behavior problems in children.
