　　The British policeman has several nicknames,but the most frequently used are"copper"and"bobby".The first name comes from the verb"cop"meaning"to take"or"capture",and the second comes from the first name of Sir Robert Peel,a 19th century politician,who was the founder of the police force.An early nickname for the policeman was"peeler",but this name had died out.

　　Visitors to England seem，nearly always,to be very impressed by the English police.In fact,it has become a joke that the visitors to Britain,when asked for his views of the country,will always say，at some point or other,"I think your policemen are wonderful."

　　Well,the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful character.

　　A music-hall song of some years ago was called,"If you want to know the time,ask a policeman."Nowadays,most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policeman.In London,the policemen spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else!

　　Every culture has its own ideal of behavior,and the United States is no exception.In the United States,children are encouraged almost from birth to be open and direct.Americans think that openness is a sign of honesty,and they feel doubtful if you are unwilling to talk about what you feel and what you know.They feel threatened by silence,which they do not trust or understand.Many other cultures,however,do not value openness and directness highly.

　　In fact,they discourage these qualities because,to them,openness and directness seem rude,childish，and destructive(破坏性的)naive(天真).They do not signify(意味着)adult behavior in their eyes.It is not surprising,then,that many cross-cultural misunderstandings have developed around openness and directness.

　　6.Openness and directness means _______ to Americans.

　　The proverb"Work while you work, play while you play"is usefulto people in all walks of life.A proper and normal daily life signifies(表示)order,progress and cheerfulness.

　　School life is more or less regular,students have class hours at certain times of a day,and go to the playground after school.Most of the school children are healthy,cheerful and progressive(进步的), because they are trained according to their properly regulated daily program.

　　Nowadays,many businessmen and officials also have office hours.During that time,they work very hard and think about nothing except work.But when they are free，they will go to places where they can relax themselves and have fun.If they are not successful people,they may not be able to afford the time and money.

　　In short,the proverb"Work while you work,play while you play"should be strictly observed by anyone who wishes to make his life pleasant,efficient and successful.When our mind is concentrated(集中)on one thing,it will surely work efficiently.In this way,you will have time to settle other problems.It is true that one can not work all day long.Play is as important as work.When you play,you will feel fresh and cheerful so that you may not be sick of your work.So if you can,give yourself enough time to play.And always remember the proverb"Work while you work,play while you play."

　　10.If you work all day long，you will _______ .

　　A.be successful B.be efficient C.make progress D.get sick

　　11.One mind will surely work efficiently if it is concentrated on _______ .

　　B.as many things as it can

　　Palo Alto,California"Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter-even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise,"US researchers said last week.

　　A study of 192third and fourth graders,generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds(0.91 kg)less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.

　　"The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,"said Thomas Robinson,a pediatrician(儿科医生)at Stanford University.

　　"American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games,and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20years," Robinson said.

　　In the study,presented this week to the Pediatrician Academic societies annual meeting in San Francisco,the researchers persuaded about 100of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.

　　Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing,even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.

　　"One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more than burning off calories,"Robinson said.

　　"Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television.Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more," Robinson said.

　　13.The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that _______ .

　　A.children will get fatter if they eat too much

　　B.children will get thinner if they eat less

　　C.children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TV

　　D.children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV

　　14.According to the passage,the time American children usually spend on watching TV _______ .

　　A.is more than four hours a day

　　B.is less than four hours a day

　　C.doubled in the last twenty years

　　D.is more than on any other activity

　　15.Why can watching TV increase kids weight according to the passage?

　　A.They usually eat less while watching.

　　B.They burn off more calories.

　　C.They change their diet while watching.

　　D.They eat more and burn off fewer calories.
