Tan Xiaodong, 15, Hong Kong,China
“It’ll soon be Chinese New Year.Before it, we’ll clean the house and decorate it for good luck. Every shop is going to close for a few days and we’ll go out a lot to celebrate in the streets.We might go and see the lion and dragon dances in the city center. I love this festival.”

“Australia Day is on 26th January and it’s an important holiday here. We always have a Monday off, so we celebrate for three days. My parents and I go to the countryside for a picnic and friends always come over. Many people go to beach parties or street parties and there are lots of music and dancing. What fun!”
Amy, 14, New York, USA
“The first Thanksgiving Day was hundreds of years ago. It’s still a very important day for families to be together. This year we’re going to visit my grandparents and we’ll eat a delicious meal for turkey. Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States every year.”

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 anything. In Russia, you should never shake hands in a doorway, 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 Japanese people while they are talking to you. 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.
With so much to think about, it’s not surprising that many people prefer going on holiday in their own countries—or you might just decide to stay at home!
6.Which of the following statements is TRUE
A.We can admire anything valuable in an Arab family’s home.
B.In China, people cannot smoke before other people finish eating.
C.In Russia, it’s impolite to shake hands with people in a doorway.
D.When you’re travelling in Thailand,you can touch people’s heads or point your feet at people.
7. What does the underlined word “interrupt” mean in Chinese
A. 跟随 B. 打断 C. 附和 D. 了解
8. What is the correct order of the subheadings (小标题) from Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 5
① Eating out ② In the home ③ Body language
④ Face-to-face communication
A. ②③④① B. ④①②③ C. ③④①② D. ①③④②
9. What does the writer want to tell us
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.Where there is a will,there is a way.
C.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
D.Look before you leap.
10. What is the best title for the passage
A. Culture Shock B. Table manners
C. Public Rules D. Make a choice
四、选词填空:根据短文内容,选择适当的单词填空,使短文意思完整。
use, part, like, learn, because, time, are, with, cook, especially

Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home.You should not be upset if your English friends don’t invite you home.It doesn’t mean they don’t like you.
Dinner parties usually start between 7 p.m.and 8 p.m.and end at about 11 p.m.Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It’s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.
Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. If you want to be extra polite, say how much you like the room or the pictures on the wall. But remember it’s not polite to ask how much things cost. In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests. You’ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you’ll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert, followed by coffee. It’s polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.
Do you enjoy the evening Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short “thank you” letter. British and American people like to say “Thank you, thank you, thank you” all the time!

When two people meet,there are a lot of ways of greeting. The ways of greeting are not always the same in different countries.
In America, two people usually greet each other with a handshake. It is a way to show respect(尊重)to the other person. Athletes from opposite teams shake hands before a game for the same reason. However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they have already known well. When American friends meet each other, they might only wave(挥手),or maybe just nod(点头)their heads.
In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”. In the greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads(前额)together and close their eyes.This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori, who were the first people to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet.
Kissing is sometimes used as a way to greet someone. In some countries, important people used to wear special rings. It was the custom for visitors to kiss these rings when they came for a meeting. In France, when people meet, they sometimes kiss each other on the face.
In Japan, people bow to each other every time they meet. Even family members bow to each other. People decide how low to bow depending on how respected the other person is.
Today, new ways of greeting are created. People can do this with a quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile. The important thing is that the people they are greeting understand them.

Every year, more than nine million people all over the world come to visit London. They go to the museums and theaters; they look at interesting old buildings or have a drink in a park.
A quick and easy way to get to different places in the city is to take an underground train. The London underground is one of the best and most widely used transport networks(网状组织)in the world. The trains run all day and most of the night. 3. You’d better not take the underground between eight o’clock and ten o'clock in the morning, or four o’clock and six o'clock in the afternoon. 4. The trains are so crowded that you can hardly move or find a place to sit.
London’s famous red buses form a big part of getting around in London. Although the London underground is the fastest and the simplest way of getting around London, the buses play their part and are an experience you should try at least once. By sitting on the top deck (层) of the bus, you can get a great sightseeing (观光的) experience of London as well.
Some special visitors’ buses take you to many of the interesting places in the city on one journey. It takes about one and a half hours, but you can cancel your journey and get off (and on again) at the different places you want to visit.
London taxis are called “black cabs”. Most of them are black, but some are not. You can stop one if it has a “For Hire (供租用的)” sign on it. The drivers are friendly and helpful.
In a word, London is a big and beautiful city with Lots to see and to do. Welcome to London.
