Traveling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier. We live in a global village. But this doesn’t mean that we all behave in the same way.
Greetings
How should you behave when you meet someone for the first time? An American or a Canadian shakes your hand while looking you straight in the eye. In many parts of Asia, there is no physical touch at all. In Japan, you should bow. In Thailand, the greeting is made by pressing both hands together at the chest and bowing your head a bit.
Clothes
Many countries have rules about what you should and shouldn’t wear. In some Asian countries, you shouldn’t expose (暴露) your body, especially women. In Japan, you should take off your shoes when entering a house or a restaurant. This is also true in Thailand and Iran.
Food and drink
In Italy, Spain and Latin America, lunch is often the biggest meal of the day, and can last two or three hours. For this reason many people eat a light break-fast and a late dinner. In Britain, you might have a business lunch and do business as you eat. In Mexico and Japan, lunch is a time to relax and socialize. And the Japanese rarely drink alcohol (酒) at lunchtime.
Doing business
In most countries, showing business cards is important for all introductions. In Japan, you must present your card with both hands, with the writing facing the person you are giving it to.

The smilodon (剑齿虎) died out probably about ten thousand years ago. Although it is also known as the saber-toothed tiger, it was not a close relative of the modern tiger. The more scientists study the two big cats, the more differences they find.
Tigers are not sociable animals. They generally travel by themselves. The smilodon, on the other hand, probably lived in groups. Tigers run fast while hunting their prey. But the smilodon, with much shorter tails than today’s tigers, did not have the balance to run at top speeds. It probably caught its prey by hiding quietly until an animal came near.
Another main difference between today’s tiger and the smilodon is the size of the smilodon’s teeth. It is known as a saber-toothed cat because of two huge teeth that grew from the top of its jaw(颌). These teeth grew up to nearly 18 cm long and were easily broken and damaged. The smilodon probably used the teeth to bite into soft parts of its prey’s body, such as its stomach. A modern tiger’s teeth are much smaller, but they are stronger.
The smilodon lived in North and South America from about two million years ago until about ten thousand years ago. Tigers, of course, still exist today and live in eastern and southeastern Asia. No one knows for sure why the smilodon disappeared.
【1】Why does the smilodon run slower than tigers?
A.Because of their big body. B.Because of their shorter tail.
C.Because of their huge teeth. D.Because of their living habits.
【2】What is the reason why the smilodon disappeared according to this text?
A.No exact reason found. B.Human activities. C.The changes of living places. D.Natural disasters.
【3】What can we infer from the text?
A.The smilodon died out about 10,000 years ago.
B.The smilodon was a relative to modern tigers.
C.Modern tigers have more chances to get prey.
D.People have known the importance of protecting tigers.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?

C.How to protect modern tigers. D.The smilodon and the tiger.

A musical, School of Rock, which is played at the Winter Garden Theatre, is based on the 2003 hit movie starring Jack Black and opens on Broadway(百老汇).
“The central message of the story,” the show’s composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber, said recently, “is about the driving force of music.” Lloyd Webber, who is behind such Broadway hits as Phantom of the Opera and Cats, runs a music education foundation. He is allowing schools to license the musical while it’s still on Broadway.
School of Rock tells the story of Dewey Finn, an ambitious rock star played by Alex Brightman. When Finn’s musical career hits a dead end, he gets a job as a teacher. While in the classroom, he encourages his fifth graders to form a rock band.
All of the actors play their own instruments during the performance. “If you say that you can do it, and you work hard enough, then you can do it,” said Evie Dolan, who learned to play bass for the role of Katie.
While the musical is very similar to the movie, lyricist Glenn Slater added new songs, including You’re in the Band and Stick It to the Man.
“I really love You’re in the Band,” said the musical’s director, Laurence Connor, “I love that moment when the audience sees the children pick up their instruments for the first time and really play, and find rock music for the first time.”
Bobby Mackenzie, who plays Tomika, said that the experience of expressing herself through music has been a pleasing one. When asked what advice she has for ambitious musicians, she said, “If it is really what you want to do, go for it. Work as hard as you can.”
【1】What is the central message of the story about?
A.The driving force of music. B.The development direction of Broadway.
C.The music composers’ interest. D.The school education of music.
【2】What was Alex Brightman?
A.A rock star. B.A teacher. C.An actor. D.A director.
【3】Who played Tomika in the musical School of Rock?
A.Dewey Finn. B.Evie Dolan. C.Laurence Connor. D.Bobbi Mackenzie.
【4】What could be the best title for this text?
A.Phantom of the Opera B.School of Rock C.You’re in the Band D.Stick It to the Man
