阅读理解 Passage 1 Manners evolved differently in different cultures. In earlier times there was a tendency for manners to become increasingly formal, and this was often viewed as progress. In the 18th and 19th centuries having good manners was seen as an important part of one’s education and social class, and it was necessary to be taken as a lady or a gentleman to get ahead in the world. In the 20th and 21st centuries, manners have gradually become more relaxed and informal. The hosting of dinners and other social gatherings are no longer the exclusive privilege of the wealthy elite (精英), and private clubs are being gradually replaced by more open meeting places. So the manners of the salon (沙龙) are gradually combining with the manners of the pub. Clothing is a good indication of the changes in manners, as can be seen in the following examples. It is surprising that the wearing of hats indoors by males is once again becoming acceptable. Students in North America often wear baseball caps to class. In many countries the wearing of hats indoors by males was once acceptable even in very polite society, but over the years this became considered as a lower-class behavior and was thus discouraged in both the middle and upper classes. The young people who wear hats indoors do not realize they are actually restarting a very old cultural tradition. A comparable development for females is the wearing of jeans. Many females now wear jeans on a daily basis, either at home or at work. Some see this as a symbolic declaration that they are now modern women, not girls or ladies. Some girls, like boys, wear baseball caps both indoors and outdoors. Sneakers and shorts are now acceptable for either males or females in a variety of non-athletic situations. Some companies have rules requiring informal dress such as jeans or sneakers on Fridays (called “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”), and others permit it almost all the time. In these companies, and many others, it is acceptable to call the bosses by their first names. 1 What does the passage mainly talk about?
A、Changes of manners over time.
B、Formal manners in the earlier times.
C、Different manners in different cultures.
D、Development of manners in different classes.
A、community and family life
B、the earth
C、plant life
D、the human
Out of all the cities and towns we visited in Central Europe, the city that made the biggestimpression on me was definitely Prague(布拉格). I do not know if it is the story behind every wall,stone and bridge that left me so speechless, but to this day I have no doubt that there is no othercity in the world that can compare to Prague. With its peculiar romantic flavor, Prague to me is farmore attractive than Paris, London and New York put together.
My acquaintance with Prague started on the bus from Vienna, where I listened to a tourguide telling us the story of how the city was set up. When we arrived in Prague, the first thing wewent to see right from the hotel was, of course, the Charles Bridge. Completed in 1357, this bridgewas built on blood and eggs to hold the bricks together, and it proved to be firmer than any othermaterial. Fascinated by the fact, we went on to examine the statues on every post of the bridge,while we listened to the story behind each of them.
There were many other things that inspired and fascinated me. The whole of Prague is like afairy tale of its own, with millions of unbelievable stories running through its history. But whatimpressed me most was the sunset above the Prague Castle.
The view was just beautiful: the sun, just barely reaching the sharp peaks of the Castle; thesky with soft clouds; the sweet music of violin somewhere in the air. It is so great that it makesyou feel like time has stopped.
We spent over three weeks in Europe, and just two days in Prague. But it seems like Prague hastaken up most of my emotions and feelings. Prague is worth visiting again and again.
