Today，many customs have faded away （消退）．But one that has remained is the cutting of hair．It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mother's brothers．So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day．

分析 文章大意：
中國有很多個形形色色的節(jié)日，龍?zhí)ь^就是其中之一．
龍?zhí)ь^節(jié)日是陰歷第二個月的第二天，今年龍?zhí)ь^在3月10日．
在古代，人們將灰燼放在廚房，這樣就能引領(lǐng)龍來到家里，因為在古代龍象征著豐收的季節(jié)．
許多慶祝龍?zhí)ь^節(jié)日的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣都消失了，但有一個流傳了下來，那就是理發(fā)．

解答 66．C，推理判斷題，文中提到"China is a country with many colorful days and festivals．The Dragon Head Raising Day （Longtaitou） is one of them"中國有很多個形形色色的節(jié)日，龍?zhí)ь^就是其中之一，所以選擇C．
67．A，推理判斷題，文中提到"This year，the day fell on March 10"龍?zhí)ь^節(jié)日是陰歷第二個月的第二天，今年龍?zhí)ь^在3月10日，由此確定答案為A．
68．C，推理判斷題，文中提到"On the day in ancient times，people put ashes （灰） in the kitchen．This was to"lead the dragon into the house"．"在古代，人們將灰燼放在廚房，這樣就能引領(lǐng)龍來到家里，因為在古代龍象征著豐收的季節(jié)，由此確定選擇C．
69．A，推理判斷題，文中提到"Today，many customs have faded away （消退）．But one that has remained is the cutting of hair"許多慶祝龍?zhí)ь^節(jié)日的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣都消失了，但有一個流傳了下來，那就是理發(fā)，由此確定選擇A．
70．D，推理判斷題，文中提到"This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar"龍?zhí)ь^節(jié)日是陰歷第二個月的第二天，A正確；文中提到"The dragon is important in Chinese culture"龍?zhí)ь^在中國文化中很重要，B正確；文中提到"For example，people eat"dragon whisker （細(xì)須）"noodles and dumplings called"dragon teeth"．"在節(jié)日當(dāng)天許多事物都重新命名，比如龍須面，C正確，文中提到"It stands for （代表） the start of spring and farming"龍?zhí)ь^節(jié)日象征著春天和耕種，D錯誤，由此確定選擇D．

2．Different countries have different ideas about manners-how you behave when you are eating．In England，table manners are important．Good table manners in England are as follows：
★How to sit：You should sit up straight in your chair．It is not a good idea to lean（傾斜）forwards or backwards．When you eat，you should not lean towards the plate，but bring the knife，fork or spoon towards you．At the same time，do not out your elbows on the table，nor reach over someone's plate for something．
★Using your fingers：English people normally don't pick food up with their fingers when they are eating main courses．If you are not sure，the safest is to use your knife or fork．There are，however，some foods that are uaually eaten with fingers．They include sanwiches，burgers，crisps and fruit．
★Your mouth：It is not polite to talk with your mouth full of food，or to eat with your mouth open．And if possible，do not make any noises．Never lick（舔）your plate after eating．
★How much to eat：It is polite to eat the food that you have been offered，so a clear plate is a good plate．It shows that you enjoyed the food．If you can't finish everything and need to leave a little，that's also okay．You could say something like"That was very nice，thank you，but I'm just too full to eat another bite．"

61．How should you sit when you are eating in England？C
A．You should lean backwards．
B．You should lean forwards．
C．You should sit up straight in your chair．
62．What food do Englishmen eat with their fingers？B
A．Beef．  
B．Pizza．  
C．Juice．
63．What is the good table manners in England？C
A．Reach over someone's plate for something．
B．Lick your plate after eating．
C．Eat an orange with fingers．
64．What can we infer（推斷）according to the passage？A
A．Eating with the mouth closed is a good manner．
B．We mustn't leave anything on the plate any time．
C．Saying sorry means we are full．

"These notes helped improve his health．Several weeks later，in one of our regular phone calls，I asked Dad how he was doing．He said，"Pretty good．I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!

20．Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal．They include how to handle knives，forks and spoons and how to eat in a polite manner．To behave well abroad，you are to know some table manners．
  EATING MANNERS
  Japan：It is"perfectly"okay to slurp when you eat noodles．Unlike making big noises，slurping slightly is not rude．Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp．
  Russia：Your wrists should be placed on the edge of the table while eating，fork in left hand，and knife in the right．It is not good manners to rest them on your lap．Keep your elbows off the table．Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat．
  France：Never discuss money or religion over dinner．What is different from the manners in Russia is that finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners．
  Mexico：Whenever you catch the eye of someone who's eating，even a stranger，it's good manners to say"provecho"，which means enjoy．In Mexico，dining is more than a meal．It's a social occasion--lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours．Where you sit matters in the country．Before you get seated，look for place cards，or wait until the host seats you．And you must say"enjoy your meal"before you leave the table．
  DRINKING MANNERS
  America：If you empty a bottle into someone's glass，it obliges that person to buy the next bottle．It's polite to put the last drops into your own glass．
  Australia：In a pub it's usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group．When it's your turn，say"It's my round"．When it's their round，they will buy it for you．Don't leave before you've bought a round．
  Japan：Don't fill your own glass of alcohol．Instead，you should pour for others and wait for them to do it for you．
31．When you are at table in Mexico，you shouldC．
A．keep silent if you catch the eye of a stranger
B．eat as quickly as you can to save your time
C．wish others happy with eating before leaving the table
