1、 阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求) 。
The Spring Festival is coming. It's time to give gifts to your family and friends. But there are some taboos(禁忌) on gift giving. What are those in China?
Chinese people don't give a clock to others. A clock sounds like"zhong" in Chinese. So giving a clock is like saying"your time is up". People will think it's not lucky, especially for old people.
Buying pears and shoes is also not a good choice. Pears sound like"li"and shoes sound like"xie" in Chinese. They are not good gifts for friends or parents, because they mean something bad in Chinese.

What is a good gift then? Money can be the answer!A"red envelope"(红包) with money is the best gift in China. People give red envelopes to show their love. People have a"lucky" number of money in the red envelopes. The numbers six and eight are always the lucky numbers in China. So we must avoid giving the wrong gifts to others.

D趣味阅读·态度决定价格
I work as a waiter in a cafe. I spend the morning hours with coffee and see friendly customers every day. But there are always those mornings when a few unwanted customers come in. They often ask for coffee without looking at me directly. Some customers are impolite and they think that customers are always right.
Just like me, Austin Simms of Cups Coffee and Tea has had enough of this. To help some customers with their manners, he has put a sign outside showing their new way of setting prices.
His new sign shows the cost of a coffee is $5. If a customer walks up to the waiter and simply says, "Small coffee, " he or she will need to pay $5for that small coffee. The price of"small coffee, please" goes down to $3. In other words, a nice word"please" with a request for a small coffee will cut the price by $2. The coffee only costs $1.75 if the customer says, "Hello. One small coffee, please. " So you can see that customers who show the best manners get the largest discounts(折扣).
This new way has made some customers rethink their manners. We can be sure that at least some customers have become polite even though they do it just to get a discounted coffee. The more you do something, the more you will get used to it. This way can actually help some customers be polite.
(1)、What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A、The writer always thinks he is right. B、The writer is happy with his job in the cafe. C、Some customers often make the writer unhappy. D、Some customers want to learn to make coffee from the writer.(2)、Which of the following decides the price of a coffee according to Austin's way?A、Customers' hope for the waiter. B、The size of the coffee customers ask for. C、Customers' ideas about the waiter's work. D、The ways that customers talk to the waiter.(3)、What can we infer(推断) from the last paragraph?A、The writer supports Austin's way. B、Some customers are more polite than others. C、It's impossible for impolite customers to learn manners. D、The new way is the best way to help customers be polite. -
