13.閱讀下面一篇短文,判斷下列句子是否符合短文內容,符合的 用"A"表示,不符合的用"B"表示。 Many people love travelling to different countries,but if you plan to go abroad,you should know how to behave in different situations around the world. Most travelers enjoy meeting new people,but sometimes you can be rude without saying anythjye.aig.In Russia,you should never shake hands in a doorway(門口),and if you're travelling in Thailand,never touch people's heads or point your feet at people.When the Japanese meet new people,they like giving business cards--but you should read the card carefully,not just put it in your pocket. In most countries in Europe,people expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them,but in many Asian countries a lot of eye contact seems unfriendly.And in South America people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk,but in countries like the USA you need to give people more personal space.Also,it's rude to interrupt(中斷)Japanese people while they are talking to jye.ai.You must wait until they finish before you start speaking. In restaurants in China you can leave a bit of food on your plate,it's OK to start smoking before other people finish eating,which you mustn't do in the UK.When in India,remember to eat with your right hand.Also avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia—that's bad luck.When you're travelling in Asia,if someone invites you to his or her home,don't forget to take off your shoes when you arrive.And if you visit an Arab family's home,don't admire anything valuable because your host will feel he should give it to you as a present.

(2)In China,people cannot smoke before other people finish eating.
(3)People in India eat with their right hands.
(4)We can admire anything valuable in an Arab family's home.

14.Playing video games can be a fun way to spend time with friends.In some schools,teachers use games like Minecraft to encourage teamwork and communication. But for some players,gaming is an unhealthy habit.They stay up late playing games.They do little or no homework.They give u other hobbies and pay little attention to their families and friends.The video-game world seems a friendlier place than the real one. Mental (精神的) heath experts have taken notice.The World Health Organization (WHO) listed"gaming disorder (電玩失調癥)" as a disease (疾病).A person may have the disorder if gaming has done harm to his or her relationships with family and friends,and if it has influenced his or her daily activities. Not all experts agree that over-gaming should be called a disorder.They say people who spend too much time on video games may develop other mental health problems.These should be treated first Others think WHO did the right thing.Clifford Sussman is a doctor who treats gaming addiction (癮).He says those kids often get angry easily and it makes everything difficult for them to complete,like schoolwork. Sussman advises tracking (跟蹤) how long you play.He says you should take at least an hour-long break after every hour of play.The brain needs time to recover. Young gamers who think they might have a problem should ask an adult for help.Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question: "Are you in control,or is the game in control?"

15.A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor.She has just lost her motjye.ai.Her pink clothes are full of blood and her eyes look at something only she can see. Every day we see pictures like this on TV.We see Iraqi(伊拉克) children asking for food and water from American and British soldiers when they move through towns and cities towards the capital,Baghdad. We see these children following parents,carrying bags of almost the same size as their small bodies when they escape from their homes in Baghdad. They show just some of the young lives that have been turned upside by ongoing war. "Dad,why are the Americans fighting against us?Are we going to be killed?" asked the son of Abu,an Iraqi engineer.Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son.He tries to make him feel safe by saying. "The bombs are far away from us.The Americans are fighting the soldiers.We're going to be all right." Even though Abu knows it isn't always true,nothing else can be done.In Baghdad,parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape from the sounds of bombs.And all schools are closed.
