centre cat windsor street dnear the coffee house23a wheelchair user may need help to enter athe house bthe garden cthe visitorscentne dthe exhibition hallb banquets (宴會(huì)) are usually held in restaurants in private rooms that have been reserved for the purpose. you will be met at the door and led to the banquet room. traditionally, the head of your delegation should enter the room first. do not be surprised if your hosts greet you with a loud round of applause. the proper response is to applaud back.seating arrangements are stricter than in the west. guests should never assume that they may sit where they please and should wait for hosts to guide them to their places. traditionally, the chinese regard the right side as the superior and the left side as the inferior. therefore on formal occasions, the host invariably arranges for the main guests to sit on his right side.it is the hosts responsibility to serve the guests, and at very formal banquets people do not begin to eat until the host has served a portion to the principal guest. or, the host may simply raise his chopsticks and announce that eating has begun. after this point, one may serve oneself any food in any amount. remember to go slow on eating. dont fill yourself up when five courses are left to go. to stop eating in the middle of a banquet is rude, and your host may incorrectly think that something has been done to offend you.drinking takes an important place in chinese banquets. it is likely that the host will stand and hold his glass out with both hands while saying a few words. when he says the words gan bei,which means bottoms up, all present should drain their glasses. after this initial toast, drinking and toasting are open to all. no words are needed to make a toast, and it is not necessary to drain your glass, although to do so is more respectful. when filling another glass, it is polite to fill it as full as you can. this symbolizes full respect and friendship. when the last dish is finished, the banquet has officially ended. there is little ceremony involved with its conclusion. the host may ask if you have eaten your fill. then the principal host will rise, signaling that the banquet has ended. generally, the principal host will bid good evening to everyone at the door and stay behind to settle the bill with the restaurateur. other hosts usually accompany guests to their vehicles and remain outside waving until the cars have left the premises.24.to attend a formal banquet, you_.a. may enter the banquet room directly when you arrive .b. may stop eating in the middle of the banquet.c. may help yourself to any food immediately the dishes are served.d. should applaud back when greeted with a loud round of applause .25.what is the host s responsibility in the authors eyes?a. announcing that eating ends. b. driving guests to their home.c. filling the guests glasses.d. arranging for guests to go to their place.26.we can conclude form the passage that_a. to stop eating halfway means that the dishes taste bad.b. guests should drain their g1asses the instant they are filledc. important guests are arranged to sit on the hosts right sided. the more you drink , the more you respect the host.27.the passage mainly tells us _a. chinese food is delicious.b. customs and traditions at banquets in chinac. what food guests should eat at banquetsd. different customs between china and western countries.cthey crossed in front of me as i was driving out of the store parking lot (停車場(chǎng))i would be delayed for a whole ten seconds. however，i realized that it was an elderly couple who were briefly delaying my departure (出發(fā))no more anger.the man leaned on his wife who walked in front of him. he not only used her for support but it was obvious that he was blind. she was his eyes as well. the two of them worked as oneeach needing the other to function in this fastchanging world.that little example of true strength that day changed my whole personal perception of life. suddenly i wasnt so mad about having to work a few extra hours on saturday. i had my strength，and i was still relatively young.that picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity and strength stayed with me the entire week. my life wasnt so bad after all. i had my health and a good job. my wife always gave me good advice whenever i needed it. i started to thinknot only was i lucky to have it all，but so was that wonderful old couple，who，despite the trials and hardships of a long life，still had the love and support of each other to carry them through this world.there are so many people out there just like that couple. my wife and i sometimes picture ourselves in our old age，walking arminarm into the sunset. that image always gives us a warm feeling of comfort. just remember，none of us would be here if it werent for our elders. we should spend an extra minute to listen and learn when it comes to helping our elder friends. they need it.28what was the authors first reaction when he was stopped by the old couple?ahe showed great pity for the couple.bhe didnt mind at all.che got angry at being delayed.dhe waited patiently.29before meeting the old couple，the

glasses will go on sale in ten countries next month, the tech giant has announced. pre-orders for the smarteyeglass, costing $840 (620), are now being taken in the uk and germany, with japan and the

image and brightness sensors, 3-megapixel camera and a microphone. they also come with a controller, designed to be attached to clothing, which contains a speaker, touch sensor and the devices battery. text is displayed in front of the wearer in monochrome green. apple chief executive tim cook has been open about his dislike of glasses as a wearable device. “we always thought that glasses were not a smart move, from a point of view that people would not really want to wear them,” he told the new yorker. “they were intrusive (闖入的), instead of pushing technology to the background, as weve always believed.” stuart miles, founder of tech site pocket-lint, said: “i think sony is wasting their time, energy and effort.” “google glass obviously needed a complete rethink. i cant see how something thick-rimmed and more invasive-looking than google glass is going to catch on. “people are keen on wearables like fitness bands and watches, but they care about their faces. wearing something on your head is a lot stronger than wearing something on your arm,” he added. “the industry keeps pushing it but consumers just dont want it.”32. in which countries people can get the
