六、Reading comprehension(阅读理解)20 分
A
A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his spare time.Hobbyists raise
pets,build model ships,weave baskets,watch birds,hunt animals,climb mountains,raise
flowers,fish,ski,skate and swim.Hobbyists also paint pictures,attend concerts and plays,and
perform on musical instruments.They collect everything from books to butterflies and from shells
to stamps.
People take up hobbies because these activities offer enjoyment,friendship,knowledge,and
relaxation.Sometimes they even give financial(财政)profit(利润).Hobbies help people relax after
periods of hard work,and provide a balance between work and play.
Hobbies also offer interesting activities for persons who have retired.Anyone,rich or poor,old
or young,sick or well,can follow a satisfying hobby,regardless of his age,position,or
income.Hobbies can help a person's mental and physical health.Doctors have found that hobbies
are valuable in helping patients recover from physical or mental illness.Hobbies give bedridden or
wheel-chair patients something to do,provide interests that keep them from thinking about
themselves.Many hospitals treat patients by having them take up interesting hobbies or
pastimes(娱乐).
In early times,most people were too busy making a living to have many hobbies.But some
persons who had spare time did enjoy hobbies.The ancient Egyptians played games with balls
made of wood,pottery(陶器).People today have more time than ever before for hobbies.
Machines have reduced the amount of time they must spend on their jobs.Hobbies provide
variety for workers who do the same unchanging tasks all day long.More people are retiring than
ever before,and at an earlier age.Those who have developed hobbies never need to worry about
what to do with their newly-found spare time hours.
Sir.William Osier,a famous Canadian doctor expressed the value of hobbies by saying,“No
man is really happy or safe without a hobby.”
1.Which of the following is right?
A.Hobby is one's regular business in his office.

B
Social customs and ways of behaving change.Things which were considered impolite many
years ago are now acceptable(可接受的).Just a few years ago,it was considered impolite
behavior(行为)for a man to smoke on the street.No man who thought of himself as being a
gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.
Customs also differ from country to country.Does a man walk on the left or the right of a
woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? What about table manners? Should you use both
hands while you are eating? Should you leave one in your lap(膝部),or on the table?
The Americans and British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of
social customs.For example,in both America and England people shake hands when they meet
each other for the first time.Also,most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat
to a woman,and so will most Americans.Promptness(准时)is important both in England and
America—That is if a dinner invitation is for seven o'clock,the dinner guest either arrives close to
that time or calls up to explain his delay.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make
other people feel uncomfortable-especially if they are your guests.There is an old story about a
man who gave a very formal(正式)dinner party.When the food was served,one of the guests
started to eat his peas with a knife.The other guests were amused or shocked,but the host calmly
picked up his knife and began eating the same way.It would have been bad manners to make his
guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.
6.Can social customs and behavior change?
A.Yes,they can.
B.No,they can't.
C.Surely! they can't.

B.for a man to open a door for a woman
C.for a person to be late for a friend's engagement
