We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf.
It stood outside a furniture（家具）shop. “Buy it,” she said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof-rack（车顶架）. I’ve always wanted one like that.”
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too.
As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake（超车）?”
Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously when they went past. But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.
“Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help now?”
I didn’t quite understand. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You’ve been very kind. I live just down the road.”
He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. “Well, well,” he said and laughed. “It’s a bookshelf you’ve got there! We thought it was——er, something else.”

Ever when the teacher explained something a second time, Donald still could not understand it. “Never mind,” Donald told himself. “I’m quite good at other subjects. I’ll cheat(作弊)in the maths exam, then I won’t be in trouble.”
“I’ll sit next to the boy who’s best at maths,” he thought, “and copy down his answers.” The day of the exam came, and Donald sat next to Brian Smith, who always was at the top of the class in maths.

“Let them share it,” one of the other students said.
“I’ve thought about that,” the teacher said, “but I’ve decided to give the prize to Brian.” Donald was angry when he heard this. He stood up and said. “That’s not fair.

In English --as in any other language --we do not always say what we mean or mean what we say. This is true of some of the things we say every day. For example, "How do you do?" "How are you?" This is what people say on meeting . Sometimes they stop and shake hands. "How are you?" looks like a question. It is written with a question mark( 问号) after it. And sometimes "How are you ?" is a question. One person may want to know if another is well or ill ----how his health is ----and so on.
When these ar questions they are almost always said as if(好象）the person who says them wants an answer.
But most of the time they are said in a way which does not ask for any answer. When these words are said so, we do not answer "I am tired," or "I have a bad cold," or "I am not well." We say the same thing back to the other person. "How are you?"or "Hello". Such words are like a smile or a wave of the hand.
In the same way, when we meet someone in the morning we may say "Good morning!" The weather may be very bad but we say "Good morning!" and the other person will say "Good morning" back to us. We are not talking about the weather or about how good or bad the morning is.
Again, when people are parting(分手), they may say "Good morning!" or "Good afternoon!" or "Good evening!" or "Good night!" to one another instead of "Good-bye!" They are not talking about the weather but saying " May all be well with you at this time!"
You will find few people today who know that "Good -bye!" is a short way of saying "God be with you!"(上帝保佑你). But in times past, when religion (宗教)had more place than it now has in education, a child could be taught this very young as part of his knowledge of English.
( )1. When most of the time someone says "How are you!", we should answer "________".
A. I am tired. B. I have a bad cold. C. I'm fine. D. I am not well.
( )2. "Good morning!" is used in __________.
A. talking about the weather B. how good or bad the weather is
C. the morning D. greeting when people meet in the morning
( )3. We say "Good night!" when __________.
A. we leave at night B. we talk about the night
C. the weather is fine at night D. people meet at night
( )4. In the past, people often said "____________".
A. Good -bye B. Good afternoon C. Good night D. God be with you
( )5. In the past, when a child was very young, he was taught_________.
A. things about religion B. a short way of saying
C. things about weather D. knowledge of English

We say that a person has good manners if he or she is polite kind and helpful to others. Everyone likes a person with good manners. But no one likes a person with bad or careless manners. "Yes" you say, " but what are good manners? How do I know what to do and what not to do?"
Here are some examples of these things. They tell you what a person with good manners does or does not do.
He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. Instead he tries to help them. He is always kind, never cruel(残酷), either to people or to animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he takes his turn. He does not push to the front ! On the bus, he gives his seat to an old person or a lady. If he, by accident, knocks someone, or gets in their way, he says, "Excuse me" or "I'm sorry".
He says "Please" when he asks somebody to help. He says "Thank you " when he receives something. He stands up when he speaks to a lady or an older person. And he does not sit down until the other person does. He does no talk or laugh loudly in public.
However, difficult countries have different manners. When you enter a house in some Asian countries, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In Japan , the guest and host bow to each other. But in some other countries they only nod or shake hands. A guest in a Chinese house seldom(很少） finishes a drink. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to show that he has enjoyed it.
But no matter how different the manners are, people all over the world agree that good manners really mean to be kind and helpful to others, especially those older or weaker than themselves. If you remember this, you will not go for far wrong.
( )1. When we talk to elderly people , we should stand until _________.

Often this is not possible, and so more people are without work. Some people have no jobs now because new machines can do the work of many people in a shorter time.

Do you know what a Bank Holiday in Britain is?
On a Bank holiday, all the banks are closed and so are other shops. People enjoy their holiday in the parks, at the seaside and in the country. Christmas is the most important of all the Bank Holidays in the year. At Christmas people give presents to each other and the whole big family get together. The English people usually celebrate Christmas Eve as in several other European countries.
Boxing Day comes after Christmas, on December 26th. It has nothing to do with the sport of "boxing". On this day works will receive presents from their bosses.
Easter Monday comes after Easter Day in March. Easter Monday used to be the day on which the women would go to walk in the parks, wearing new dresses and hats. Though they may not do this today, they still buy and wear spring clothes for this day.
People spend the Summer Bank Holiday in late August. It is the most popular holiday of the year, because it comes at a time when children are not at school. A lot of people try to make this a long weekend, and go to the seaside or to the country. The result is that there have always been traffic jams on the way.
