Different countries have different customs. When you travel to other countries, please follow their customs, just as the saying goes, “ ▲ ”
People who travel to the United States very often forget to tip(给小费). It is usual to tip porters who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.
In the UK, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It’s important to respect lines there. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It’s a favourite subject of conversation with the British.
In Spain, it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon when someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late and restaurants do not generally open until 9 p. m.
In Arab countries, men kiss one another on the cheek(脸颊). Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.
In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don’t put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it.
Don’t forget to be careful of your body language to express anything in conversation. A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.

When you want to buy something, do you buy it new or second-hand These days, buying second-hand items is becoming more popular.
Second-hand items are much cheaper than new ones, so people can save money. It’s also good for the environment. In 2023, the mass(质量)of all man-made materials became greater than that of every living thing on Earth. So it’s a better choice to reuse old things.
People can even find some “extinct”(绝版的)items, or items that are no longer made. For example, some people like to buy vintage items, including clothes and accessories(饰品). These items often go back 30 years or even more. But as long as they’re in good condition, people can still use them.
Second-hand items connect people. In this way, they sometimes pass on history and stories. Here are two examples.
Zhao Kaiqi, 22, college student, Harbin, Heilongjiang
I love buying books on Deja Vu, an online second-hand trading site. It’s a good choice for students like me. I can save a lot of money. It also brings me interesting experiences that I don’t have when I buy new books. One time, I found a note in a second-hand book. Its previous(之前的)owner left the note, hoping that I would enjoy the book. It was heartwarming to read. I want to do something like that in the future.
Kate, 25, writer, London, UK
I am a big fan of vintage items. They are special. I like items from the 1950s and 1960s. Vintage items carry stories from the past. Once I bought a bracelet(手链)with the words “Rose” and “Love, Jason” inscribed on it. It made me wonder about ▲. I think looking for vintage items is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It doesn’t matter how rich you are, but whether you can find an item that fits you. It’s an interesting connection.
38.Paragraph 2 mainly tells us _________.
A.why people buy second-hand items B.what second-hand item people can buy
C.where people can buy second-hand items D.when is the best time to buy second-hand items

During the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games, there were 10 flower beds(花坛). One of the high-lights(亮点)of these flower beds was to make good use of garden waste.
One of them was in Tian’anmen Square. Its topic was “Wonderful Winter Olympics”. The five Olympic rings and the snowflake shape were at the bottom of the flower bed.

Green Olympics can not only make good use of waste and protect the environment, but also be good for the future development of the city, There’s no doubt that the Winter Olympics theme flower beds, which showed the “simple, safe and wonderful” requirements for the competition, added points to the unique charm(独特魅力)of the “City of the Two Olympics”.
As waste is considered as a resource that is put in a wrong place, the designers made the waste in the right place for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games. Besides, thrift(节俭)and hard work are the tradition of the Chinese nation. We also should save energy and make good use of waste in our daily life.

Hello, everyone. I’m David from Class 1, Grade 8. Back to the life in the last year, I think I have changed a lot and made great progress in some ways.
First, in the past I spent little time reading. Now I spend a lot of time reading. Because reading can help me relax. Second, I didn’t realize the importance of protecting the environment. Now I try to reduce air pollution by riding a bike. I save water by taking shorter showers. I save energy by turning off the lights when leaving a room. Third, I used to cut in line when I waited for a bus. Now I always queue for my turn when waiting for a bus. Fourth, I used to spend my pocket money on snacks and computers games. But now I donate my pocket money to the children in poor areas.
I’m sure I can be better and better in Grade 9.
Thanks for your listening!
