As an old saying goes, "When in Rome(罗马), do as the Romans do. " I learned the meaning of this when I studied in Russia.
One day I 11 some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow.My guests and I were excited from visiting Red Square and happy about our meeting. We chatted 12 until the waiter told me that we were talking too loud. We turned our voice slower. But this didn't last long. The waiter came over to us two more times with the same 13 .
How bad an impression(印象) we must have left on the local people! In China, it's natural and 14 for a host(主) to make a lively atmosphere(气氛). However, in Russia and Western countries, having a meal in a public place means you must 15 your voice low.You need to be polite to others.

Russians have their own special habits.My Russian friend Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home. I asked him 17 he did this.

On April 18, the 100-day countdown to the 2012 Olympic Games in London began. For this year's Games' slogan, the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games has chosen the phrase “Inspire a Generation” (激励一代人). It is expected to inspire athletes(运动员) to do their best, and common people to do better in their daily lives.
The Games are also inspiring lots of tourists to come to London. But if you go there, you'd better try your best to follow British manners and customs. Otherwise, you'll end up in a right mess! Expert William Hanson has given the Associate Press a few tips for tourists on how to act while in the UK. Let's have a look:
Don't talk about money. According to Hanson, British people hate talking about money and it is considered rude to do so. In particular,never ask anyone about their salary.
Afternoon tea. The traditional view of the British sitting down for an afternoon tea is not exact. Few people keep the tradition nowadays.
Give tips—but not in an obvious way. The British favor a quiet “thank you” gift for good service rather than the rigid 16-20% tip Americans always give. In fact, many British waiters will not feel anxious and nervous if you decide not to tip at all.
Greeting with a kiss. The British are not like their passionate neighbors in France. Many prefer a handshake or a pat on the back to say “hello”.
Conversation tip. If you want to be friendly, end a sentence with the word “mate”.
( )21. The underlined word “It” in the first paragraph refers to .
A. London
B. “Inspire a Generation''
C. The 100-day countdown
D. The London Organizing Committee
( )22. British people think it rude to .
A. have tea in the early morning B. ask others about their salary
C. give a 10% tip to a waiter D. shake hands with friends
( )23. The underlined word “passionate'' in the passage means “ ” in Chinese.
A. 冷酷的 B. 羞涩的 C. 有激情的 D. 聪明的
( )24. When will the London Olympics be held
A. On August 18 B. At the end of July
C. At the beginning of August D. In the middle of July
