British society is considered to be divided into three main groups of classes―the Upper Class, the Middle Class, and the Lower or Working Class. This is known as the Class system and it is important to know something about it if you want to understand British people and society. Most British people grow up with a deep knowledge and understanding of the class system even if they are not very conscious（意識到）of it. Most people know which class they belong to by the way they speak, their clothes, their interests or even the type of food they eat.
Social class is not only about behavior and attitudes. For example, although many upper class people are rich and may own a lot of land, having a lot of money does not make a person upper class. It is also important to come from a particular kind of family, have friends who are considered suitable, have been to a certain type of private school and speak with the right kind of accent. There are people who are poor but who do not think of themselves as working class, because their family background, education, political opinions, etc. are different from those of most working-class people. Many people do not like the class system but it is impossible to pretend that these differences do not exist or that British people do not sometimes form opinions in this way.
63．According to the passage, you cannot judge an Englishman’s social class by _________.
A．where he was born B．the way he speaks
C．the clothes he wears D．the interests he has
64．If an Englishman has much money, __________.
A．he belongs to the middle class
B．he must be a member of the upper class
C．he is not likely to be from the upper class
D．he may buy an upper class title with the money
65．What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? ________.
A．Many rich people do not belong to the upper class
B．Today many British people do not like the class system
C．Many poor people do not consider themselves as lower class
D．An Englishman’s social class is determined by many factors（因素）
66．According to the passage, the idea of the class system in Britain _________.
A．exists only in the mind of foreigners B．is deeply rooted in the British people
C．is now under severe attack D．is regarded as a long system

Research by Scotland Yard published in a London newspaper, has proven that knife crime in London is a serious non – white phenomenon, with 165 of the 225 under- 18s accused of knife crime in the past three months being from the black or other non – white groups．
According to Scotland Yard, only 60 of the 225 crimes were white．Despite being a small minority of the knife holding criminals, whites did, however, make up the single largest group of victims of knife crime．
According to the Scotland Yard report, whites made up 222 of the 637 victims of knife crime over the last three months．This number could probably be higher, as 292 victims were not identified by race．
This month Scotland Yard Deputy Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson suggested knife crime has replaced drug selling as the top concern for London police．
Sir Paul said so as he announced a specialist knife crime unit to deal with teenagers carrying knives in the capital．It will use a team of 75 specialist officers to find criminal group members and their supporters．
Detective Inspector, George Rhoden, president of the National Organisation of Black Law Enforcement Executives said, “In the black community we have all noticed that there is major concern about gun and knife crime．Clearly we are not the only part of the community affected by the problem of children who have no fathers, but parental responsibility should be of major concern.”
Around 59 percent of black Caribbean children and 54 percent of mixed – race youngsters are looked after by a lone parent．In the white British population, the number is 22 percent．
1.From the above, we can see that in knife crimes in London．
A．there are more whites than blacks as victims
B．there are more blacks than whites as victims

D．Fining the teenagers carrying knives．

In England three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop. They studied the information on the post sign and decided which bus to take. About five minutes later the bus they wanted came along. They prepared to get on. Suddenly people rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted insulting remarks about the foreigners. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus-stop is the first person to get on the bus.
Learning the language of a country isn’t enough. If you want to ensure a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man apparently（顯然地）shaking his head at another and assume (認(rèn)為) that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a rotating (旋轉(zhuǎn)) movement of the head is a gesture that express agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to express “yes” — a nod means “no”.
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could cause offence (冒犯). It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand avoid touching the head of an adult — it’s just not done.
Attitudes to women vary considerably（相當(dāng)?shù)兀゛round the world. In Japan, for example, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home.
Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are travelling, but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality (禮節(jié)).
1.The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed because __________________.
|
A．they didn’t know the English language |
|
B．someone called their names |
|
C．they didn’t know the custom of lining up for a bus |
|
D．they knocked someone down while getting on the bus |
2. According to the passage, which attitude to women is usual in Japan?
|
A．Men always go to parties with women. |
|
B．Men plan evening entertainments for their wives. |
|
C．Men and women have equal rights to go to parties. |
|
D．Men plan evening entertainments for themselves, while their wives stay home. |
3.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “insulting” in Para. 1 ?
|
A．善意的 |
B．咨詢的 |
C．商量的 |
D．無禮的 |
4. From the passage, we know that shaking head means Yes in ______________.
|
A．India and Thailand |
B．India and Bulgaria |
|
C．Bulgaria and Thailand |
D．Thailand and Japan |
5.The underlined sentence “Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty.” means ____________.
|
A．It’s probably that you are thirsty if you nod your head |
|
B．You’re possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your head |
|
C．You probably refuse to drink when you nod your head |
|
D．You’d like to have a cup of tea because you nod your head |

The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities in the world. But to those who are new to it all, it can be something confusing.
October is usually the busiest month in the academic calendar (學(xué)習(xí)日程表). Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life.
However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be uneasy. Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?

·Sometimes cups of tea or even sweets can give you a head start in making friends.
·The more active you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than if you’re someone who never leaves his rooms.
