We know good manners are important. Today I am going to tell you something about manners in different countries. I think you already know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things. Something that is rude in one country may be quite polite in another. For example, in Britain you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having liquid food. That is considered bad manners in Britain. But in Japan you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink something. It shows that you are enjoying it. In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hand on the table throughout a meal. In Arabic countries we must be careful with our hands. You see, in Arabic countries you mustn’t eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country? Well, you needn’t worry. You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do.

九年级英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析
Almost nothing we do in this world is done in isolation (孤立). At work or at play, you’ll find yourself in groups, working with other people: your team at work, a meeting with fellow workers, your family, a holiday with friends, a group of students working together, a group of neighbors wanting to make changes. It is now realized that being able to work successfully with other people is one of the main keys to success, partly because we need to do it so often.
In almost every situation where you’re in a group, you will need a skilled leader. All groups need leaders and all successful groups have good leaders. Groups without leaders or with weak leaders almost always break down. Members of a leaderless group often begin to feel disappointed and helpless. Time is wasted and the tasks are not achieved. There are often arguments and nervousness between people as there is nobody to keep the goals clear. Often group members begin not to come to meetings in order to avoid (避免) more disagreement.
Some people are natural leaders. The well-known cook, Antonio Carlucci says, “True leaders are born and you can see them in kitchens.” They’re people who are strong, fair and humourous. Although a lot of people agree that there are some natural–born leaders, most people now know that leadership can also be taught. Experienced teachers can train almost anyone how to be a successful leader. Good leaders don’t make people do things in a controlling way. You can learn how to join others, encouraging the whole group to work towards a common goal.
Successful leaders also need to be calm and wise. They need to be able to work out good solutions and make perfect judgments under pressure. Lastly, and probably most importantly, good leaders need to be sensitive, confident and be able to get on well with a variety of people.
1.When we are at work or at play, we find we are probably working _______.
A. independently B. successfully
C. in isolation D. in groups
2.Groups with _______ leaders will often cause arguments at meetings or between people.
A. good and strong B. no or weak
C. skilled and weak D. good and natural
3.People who are born strong, fair and humourous are called _______.
A. natural leaders B. well-known cooks
C. experienced staff D. successful leaders
4.Good leaders always have many ways of doing things except _______.
A. joining people together
B. encouraging the whole group
C. controlling people to do things
D. leading people to work towards goals
5.Which of the following is NOT correct according to this passage?
A. One of the main keys to success is being able to work with others well.
B. People will often feel disappointed and helpless if they aren’t with good leaders.
C. Being calm and wise can help leaders make perfect judgments under pressure.
D. Experienced teachers can hardly train people to be successful leaders.
6.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. How to be successful leaders.
B. Successful leaders.
C. Why to be natural leaders.
D. Be sensitive and confident.

Bad days happen to us all. Often a day that starts out bad just continues to get worse. Sometimes there’s a “domino effect(多米诺效应)” with bad events. For example, you sleep through the alarm, so you’re stressed. And you will sit in the bad traffic, which will also make you late for work, etc.
How can we turn a bad day to a good day? Here are some ideas that have worked for me:
Smile a lot
Smiling a lot will help you feel relaxed. Research has shown that smiling produces three useful chemicals which make us feel good.
Talk to a good friend
Keeping bad or unhappy things in your mind is not a good idea. Talking to someone who cares and listen really does help us feel better, too.
Concentrate on your good things
It’s hard to concentrate on how bad things are when you’re concentrating on how good things are! Think of 10 or more things you’re thankful for, and you’ll achieve a whole new outlook(人生观) on your day.
Get some exercise
If you can, go for a walk. Exercising will help you feel better. Excising can get your day back to be normal again.
Make the day a challenge
If you make yourself think of the day as a challenge, you’ll start to do all the things you can to make your day better.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案,并将其标号填入题前括号内。
1.According to the passage, the “domino effect” is an effect that______.
A. turns a good day to a bad day
