25、 Gift-giving, table manners: what’s acceptable at home doesn’t necessarily apply in other countries. Here are 8 distinctive customs to use as your passport to new experiences and friendships.
Avoid giving certain flowers in Russia Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or business associate in Russia. Yellow blooms signify deceit(欺骗) or a relationship break-up. Skip red carnations, too. Traditionally, red carnation are placed on the grave of the dead. |
Don’t expect a “Thank You” card for these gifts in China Clocks, straw sandals(草鞋) are all associated with death and funerals in China. Deemed inappropriate and morbid, you’ll risk damaging relationship if you present these gifts-for any occasion-to someone in China. |
Skip the salt in Egypt When tucking into a meal in Egypt, by-pass the saltshaker. It’s insulting(侮辱的) to your host to sprinkle salt on your food. If you have to season your plate, it means that you find the meal’s taste disgusting. |
Don’t show up on time in Venezuela Here’s one place where being early or on time is viewed as being rude. In Venezuela if you are invited to someone’s home for a meal, it’s recommended that you arrive 10-15 minutes later than the requested time. Early or on time guests are viewed as being too eager, even greedy(贪婪的). |
Always use a knife and fork in Norway In Norway, table manners are extremely important. Most meals, including sandwiches, are eaten using utensils(餐具). |
Be “blunt” in the Netherlands Gift giving should be a happy, positive experience. When selecting a present for someone in the Netherland, don’t purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors. Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky. |
Red equals dead in Korea Writing a lot of cards or notes while visiting South Korea? Be mindful of your pen’s ink color. Scrawling(潦草地写) a person’s name in red ink traditionally signifies that the person is deceased, which means dead. |
Stick to the sauna(桑拿浴) in Finland In Finland, saunas are a preferred way to relax and socialize with family and friends. Don’t be surprised if your business meeting is followed up with an invite to let off some steam in a local sauna. If you receive such a request, rest assured that your business meeting went well. |

26、Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition (眼睛识别) program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.
However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or from the mark made by your finger.
Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programs may only be 51%. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
In the future your computer will recognize you in the eye. So smile!
【1】What will the program for remembering eyes be used for?
A. Banks and computers. B. Banks and shops.

【2】How does the eye-recognition program work?

B. You need to speak and then look.

D. You look at the machine.
【3】Which recognition program is already in use?
A. Remembering eyes and smell. B. Remembering fingers or voices.
C. Remembering faces and voices. D. Remembering hands and faces.
【4】What problems could there be with the eye-recognition program?
A. Some eyes are the same. B. Eyes can change.
C. It is not always correct. D. Eyes can get dirty.
【5】What’s the advantage of using recognition programs in this passage?
A. You needn’t remember a number.

28、When you’re very, very afraid of something, that fear can affect(影响)you and how you live your life. When I was younger, I saw my cousin f【1】 onto an ants’ nest. The ants attacked(攻击)him, and he was c【2】 in terrible bites(咬). After that I became very scared of ants. I wouldn’t eat outside, and I didn’t even like to play outside. I c【3】 my bed for ants every night. But when I t【4】 thirteen, I decided I couldn’t let my fear get to me. I had to learn to control my fear of ants.
First I read a lot about different ants. I didn’t focus on bites, but instead I read about how helpful ants are to the e【5】. Ants are really cool! They’re hard—working, social, and organized. They help bring a【6】 and nutrients(营养物)to the earth. They help p【7】 grow, clean up decaying(腐烂的)matter(物质), and help control other insects.
Next I began to w【8】 ants from a safe distance. I started to look at a family of ants in real time on the Internet in order to learn how they live. Little by little, I felt more c【9】 about ants. Finally I went outside one day and let an ant move onto my hand and t【10】 it gently. It was okay! Now that I know about all the good things ants do, I’m not so afraid of them anymore.
