If you travel around the world， you will be surprised to find just how different the foreign customs can be from your own.

A visitor in India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India， you might see a man clearly shaking his head at another and assume that he doesnt agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head is a gesture that shows agreement of acceptance. Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to indicate “yes”—a nod indicates “no”. The Arabs are known for their hospitality （好客）. At a meal in countries on the Arabian Peninsula， you will find that any drinking cup is repeatedly refilled as soon as you drink it up.

In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone， even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand， however， could cause trouble. It is too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand you are not supposed to touch the head of an adult. In Japan， it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home. In Europe such attitude is disappearing.

Customs vary from country to country. Visitors may be at a loss as to what to do in a foreign environment. In such circumstances， the golden rule to follow is： When in Rome， do as the Romans do.

24. In which country shouldnt you pass food at table with your left hand？

A. Thailand. B. India.

C. Malaysia. D. Bulgaria.

25. In which country does a person shake his head to say yes？

A. Bulgaria. B. Thailand.

C. Japan. D. Romania.

26. What is impolite in Europe according to the text？

A. To touch the head of an adult.

B. To drink up the glass in your hand.

C. To cross legs while sitting talking to others.

D. To enjoy evening entertainment leaving the wife at home.

27. If you dont know the customs in the country you visit， the rule to follow is ___ .

You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason goes back to the year 1066， when Norman forces invaded （入侵） what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French. During the Norman occupation， French became the language of Englands rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for more than 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period.

Over time， the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10，000 French words eventually entered the English language. However， although English took many French words， their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important， and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.

Take， for example， the French word college. In English， college can often be used in place of the word university， or sometimes as a school within a university. However， in French， college actually means “middle school”， or the level of schooling for students in grades five or six through eight.

There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings. In English， the word chat is a verb which means “to talk casually”; but in French， the word chat is the word for an animal： a cat.

If an English speaker says someone is jolly， that means they are cheerful or friendly. But in French， jolie means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case， both are nice things to say to someone.

28. What does the writer stress about the French words in English？

A. Their spelling forms.

B. Their changes in history.

C. Their different meanings.

D. Their importance in English.

29. What does a Frenchman mean if he says he likes a chat？

A. He likes a kind of pet. B. He wants to take a holiday.

C. He hates to speak English. D. He prefers to talk in French.

30. In French， the word “jolie” is used to ___ .

A. describe peoples looks B. refer to peoples happiness

C. replace “jolly” in English D. show the change in French

31. What is the text mainly about？

A. Comparison between French and English.

B. Difficulty in learning English.

C. French words in English.

D. Development of English.

A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally， the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.

“Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just a bunch of individual components （零件），” said Robert Wood， the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. “The added difficulty with such a project is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to make them all on our own，” he said.

They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of individual components， each of which individually has to perform well， and then has to be matched well to everything its connected to，” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power， computation， sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.

Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet， the power， sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications （應用）. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions， you know， to study biology （生物學） in ways that would be difficult with the animals， but using these robots instead，” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day-to-day basis.”

32. What challenge did the engineers have when making the robotic fly？

A. The system is too complex to work.

B. They fail to control all the components.

C. They dont have enough related knowledge.

D. The ready-made components are in shortage.

33. What does the success of the robotic fly suggest？

A. It will help to kill dangerous insects.

B. The flight device needs a few components.

C. Scientists are able to make tiny flying machines.

D. Humans will seldom use animals in biological tests.

34. What does Wood hope to do with the flying robot？

A. To put it to the market.

B. To solve more scientific problems.

C. To fix the system on other animals.

D. To encourage people to learn biology.

35. What can be the best title for the text？

A. Father of Robotic Fly

B. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect

C. Inspiration from Engineering Science

D. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study
