Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia , some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud "burp " after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food. In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say "Excuse me, please." In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat. What are manners like in an East African town? People try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you. Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends. Which of the following is not true? A) Manners are not the same in different countries. B) It is good manners to give a burp when you've had enough in any place.

Q: The advantages of an international language in the modern world are obvious. Thanks to modern methods of transport, we can travel everywhere more easily and more quickly than ever before, but the language problem still remains. Without a common language, there may be misunderstandings between people of different countries. There are two possible solutions to this problem: either we choose one of the main living languages of the world, or we make up an artificial  one. But neither solution is simple because no living language will be acceptable to everyone and because an artificial language, such as Esperanto, has no culture and would be thought boring by many learners. It is often said that English is quickly becoming a world language. It is certainly the most widely used language in the world, and second only to Chinese in its number or native speakers, but there are certain worries of choosing English as an international language. First of all, for political reasons and national pride, English is not acceptable to everyone as a world language. Many dislike its influence. English words enter their language and this often threats their own language. In France, a new word "frangla is" has been invented to describe the results. Although English is being taught in more and more schools abroad, the process is not always popular. Not every nation is prepared to accept the leading position of English in their education system Every nation doesn't accept a living language as a world language partly because   _  . A) they are proud of their own school B) they dislike a widely used language C) a process has not become very popular D) a foreign language has certain dangers
A: D


Question: Protests   at the use of animals in research have taken on a new and fearful character in  Britain with the attempted murder of two British scientists by the terrorist   technique of the pre - planted car - bomb. The research community   will rightly be alarmed at these developments which have two aims: to draw public attention and to frighten people working in research with animals. The scientists insist that everything should be done to identify those responsible for the crimes and to put them on trial. The Defense Research Society has taken the practical step of offering a reward of PS10,000 for information leading to those responsible, but past experience is not encouraging. People are unlikely to be attracted by such offers. The professional police will similarly be challenged by the problem of finding a needle in a haystack. That is why the intellectual   community in Britain and elsewhere must act more strongly in its own defense. There are several steps that can be taken, of which the chief one is to demand of all the organizations that exist with the declared aims of defending the interests of animals that they should declare clearly where they stand on violence towards people. And it will not be enough for the chairman and chairwoman of these organizations to make placatory   statements on behalf of all their members. These people should also promise that it will be a test of continuing membership in their organizations that members and would-be members should declare that they will take no part in acts of violence against human beings. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A) The police gave up their efforts to find the criminals. B) The terrorists escaped with the help of their organization. C) The attempted murder caused great anxiety among British scientists. D) People supported the animal protectors in spite of their extremist acts.
Answer: C
