阅读理解 When students from other countries come to the United States, they are sometimes shocked at the informality in American college and university classes. For example, American professors do not dress up and they generally call their students by their first names. Students can speak out in class, without raising their hands.

听力原文： I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadn't the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.

It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. "She meant more to me than anyone even my own wife!" he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal. I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn. "I wouldn't leave her out in the cold!" he said.

Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. "She was such a good cow! I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor touch her!" he said, and burst into tears again.

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

33. What do we know about Milly from the story？

34. What might the farmer wish the speaker to do？

35. What is probably the person who told the story？

have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior. in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England

When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say “hello” and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people(students, for instance)that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself. On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess or another guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone’s house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.

Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

1.What will a person do when he attends a party run by older people？ （）A、Go up to a stranger and introduce himself.

B、Ask his friend to introduce him to others.

C、Give a speech in front of others to introduce himself.

D、Wait to be introduced by the hoss/hostess.

2.Which of the following best explains the proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do. （）

A、If you go to Rome, you must do things like the Romans.

B、When you go to a foreign country, you should learn something about their manners.

C、Romans always do the right thing, so you should follow them.

D、Manners in Roman are as easy to follow as in other countries.
