Living in a foreign culture can be exciting,but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences.They decided that miscommunications(沟通误解) were always possible,even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific(太平洋),Lisa thought people weren't paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks ” The woman there didn't say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows(眉毛),which in Micronesia means “yes”.
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage.She asked the waiter, "Do you have cabbage today?"He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came.In that country, a nod means "no".
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India.After explaining(解释) something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again.When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.

四、 任务型阅读 (10分)
Do you often find yourself sitting or standing there, looking at a TV, a computer or cell phone Are
you so interested in them that you forget what time it is
If so, it’s very possible that you won’t be able to sleep well at night, according to a new study from the National Sleep Club in our city.
The study shows that the use of electronics like TVs and cell phones before bedtime leads to a bad night’s sleep.
Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed. Then it’s hard for you to get enough sleep.
According to the study, about 95 percent of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics before bed. They have their eyes on a TV screen, a laptop or a cell phone within an hour of bedtime at least a few nights a week. Among them, more and more young people—especially those under 20—are using cell phones and laptops right before bed.
So, what’s the key to eight hours of sleep each night
Doctors strongly advise you to do more exercise and sleep at a regular time, what’s more, you’d better turn off cell phones, TVs, and all other screens, as soon as the sun goes down.
Too hard Then at least turn them off a few hours before bedtime.
