阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Take a deep breath and drink some water for 15 seconds! This is just one of hundreds of tips you might get if you have the hiccups(打嗝). Hiccups are so mysterious that we really don’t know why they start and why they stop.
Everyone has a favorite cure for a case of the hiccups. Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well. Others eat a teaspoon of sugar. Still others drink a glass of water with a knife in it.
An American man named Jack O’Leary claimed (声称) to have hiccupped 160 million times over a period of eight years. He tried 60,000 cures, but none of them worked. Finally he prayed to Saint Jude（圣徒犹大）, the saint of hopeless cases, and his hiccups stopped at once.
It took a British engineer eight months to cure his hiccups. People from all over the world wrote him letters with suggestions for getting well. He tried them all, but the hiccups continued. Finally, he drank a ‘secret’ mixture someone had sent him. By that evening his hiccups were gone.
Why did these cures work for these two men? No one really knows. But people who have studied many cases of hiccups have an idea. Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure.
1. If something is mysterious, it is ____.
A. hard to stop B. easy to hurt
C. hard to understand D. easy to take care of
2. Which cure is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. A good scare. B. A special tool.
C. A teaspoon of sugar. D. A glass of water with a knife in it.
3. How many times did Jack O’Leary claim to have hiccupped over a period of eight years?
A. 8. B. 160. C. 60，000. D. 160，000，000.
4. The British engineer’s hiccups were cured by ____.
A. taking a spoonful of salt B. taking a deep breath
C. drinking a secret mixture D. drinking some water for 15 seconds
5. The passage is mainly about ____.
A. a British engineer’s hiccups B. what makes hiccups happen
C. Jack O’Leary’s hiccups D. different ways to stop hiccup
B
In different countries around the world, people become ‘adults’ at different ages. Being an adult means having the right to do certain things such as getting a part-time job, voting（投票）, getting married, or getting a license to drive. It also means accepting the responsibilities that go along with these rights.
In many countries, sixteen or eighteen is the age at which a person becomes an adult. Young men and women at this age can get a part-time job, and begin to receive an income of their own. They no longer have to rely on their parents for money all the time. In many parts of North America, sixteen is also the age when one can get a driver’s license; in England, it is seventeen.
There are responsibilities that go along with both of these rights. Getting a part-time job means that you have to pay income tax（税）. Driving a car demands that you follow certain rules such as paying for insurance to drive.
Voting is another right that means becoming adults for many young people. In the United States, Canada, and the U.K., young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen.
A group of teenagers in Alberta, Canada, want the Canadian voting laws changed. They think that people should be able to vote at the age of sixteen. They argue that if teenagers at sixteen are old enough to get a part-time job, pay taxes, and drive, they are also old enough to vote in elections（选举）.
6. What rights can young people get when they become ‘adults’?
① a part-time job ② the right to vote ③ income tax ④ a license to drive
A. ②③④ B. ①②③ C. ①③④ D. ①②④
7. If you want to get a driver’s license, you must reach seventeen in _________.
A. North America B. Canada
C. England D. China
8. When you get a part-time job, you must accept the responsibility _________.
A. to pay income tax B. to get married
C. to pay for insurance to drive D. to vote wisely
9. In Alberta, some teenagers think people should be able to vote at the age of __________.
A. sixteen B. seventeen C. eighteen D. nineteen
10. What is the passage mainly about?
A. When young people should have children.
B. When young people have certain adult rights.
C. When young people have to work to earn money.
D. How old young people must be in order to vote.
C
Gestures are the silent language of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.
In the US, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal discussion. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet each other with a hug .
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about 2.5 feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me."
Americans like to look at the other in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. When you stare at someone, however, it is not polite.
For Americans, thumbs-up means "yes", "very good" or "well done". Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, one might put up one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指). Americans shake their index fingers at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing(困惑的). If you don't know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.
11. When you shake hands with an American, you should _______ .
A. shake his / her hand firmly B. put your hands on his / her shoulder
C. shake his / her hand gently D. give him / her a hug afterward
12. In the US, people usually _______ if you stand too close to them.
feel friendly B. get uncomfortable
C. keep still D. hit you angrily
13. If you talk with an American friend, it's polite to _______ .
A. stare at him / her B. look at the ground
C. look at him / her in the eyes D. look here and there
14. When an American gives you the thumbs-up, he, in fact _______ .
A. means that you are number one B. wants to please you
C. needs to call a waiter D. expresses his satisfaction to you
15. What's the main idea of this passage?
A. People greet each other by shaking hands in America.
B. Every country has their own gestures.
C. Learning a culture's body language is very important and necessary.
D. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger.
