Finding “topic sentences” is a very useful reading strategy. As we read, we need to find “topic sentences”. These sentences usually give us a “summary” or overall meaning of each paragraph and help us understand what the paragraph is about. More detail and explanation come after the topic sentence. A topic sentence is usually at the beginning of a paragraph or the end of it.

Exercises for Unit 7 Section Reading I: Guess the meanings of the underlined words from the context (从上下文) .Match the underlined words with their English meanings:Would you mind keeping your voice down ?If you spend some time in an English-speaking country, you might hear the term “etiquette”. It means normal and polite social behavior. This may seem like a difficult word at first . But it can be very useful to understand. Etiquette is not the same in every culture and every situation. For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. . However, if you do this in Europe, some people might feel uncomfortable. Even in China, we all know etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine, but there are other places where talking loudly is not allowed. For example, most people would agree that talking loudly in a library, a museum, or a movie theater is impolite. Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice down in public places. In fact, we should also take care not to cough or sneeze loudly in public.If we see someone breaking the rules of etiquette, we may politely give them suggestions. Perhaps one of the most polite ways is to ask someone, Would you mind doing this or Would you mind not doing that . For example, if someone cuts in front of you in a line, you should ask them, Sorry, would you mind joining the line ? If someone is smoking on the bus, you could ask, Excuse me, could you please put out the cigarette ?People dont usually like to be criticized, so we have to be careful how we do this.Although rules of etiquette can often be different, some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world ! For example, dropping litter is almost never allowed.
