Geography is the study of the relationship between people and the land. Geographers compare and contrast various places on the earth. But they also go beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 36. The word geography 37 _ from two Greek words, gee, the Greek word for‖ earth\ 38 means \means \own or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or a 39 continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another way to divide the study of 40 is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the 41. Starts with human beings and studies how human beings and their environment act upon each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, _ 42 branches can neglect the other. A geographer might be described 43 one who observes, records, and explains the differences between places. If places 44 alike, there would be little need for geographers. We know, however 45 no two places are exactly the same.Geography, then, is a point of view, a special way of looking at places.

We were looking; for a second-hand car, and I had been much taken by a rather nice drop-head with a well-cared-for appearance.
\-out. ―Good start-up, engine sounds sweet, low mileage and the right price. What do you think?\\ ―Why not?\
\ There’s just something about lie salesman that I don’t believe.
A few weeks after we had bought another car elsewhere, I happened to find out the history of the drop-head. It had been seriously damaged in a crash before we saw it, and cleverly done up. The car was, indeed, a very bad risk.

Task 2(2 points each, 10 points in all)
Directions: This task is the same as Task l( No. 51 through No. 55).
Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.
Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn’t it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should leave one in your lap or on the table?
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 0' clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-especially if they are your guests. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.
51. If one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he is to be late for the dinner?
A. He should find an excuse.
