In the United States, people often use different expressions to show their feelings. For example, when they are very happy, they might say “I’m over the moon”. This means they are extremely pleased. Another common expression is “on cloud nine”, which also indicates great happiness.
When it comes to disappointment or sadness, Americans might say “I feel down in the dumps”. It shows that a person is feeling very low. And if someone is a bit angry, they could use the phrase “bent out of shape”, which implies being upset or irritated.
These expressions not only help people communicate their emotions effectively but also add color to the language. In social situations, understanding these sayings can make conversations more interesting and smooth. For foreigners learning English, getting familiar with these common expressions is an important part of grasping the language’s cultural aspects.

In Japan, for instance, it is polite to bow when you greet someone. The depth and length of the bow can vary depending on the situation and the person you are greeting. In a business meeting, a deeper and longer bow shows more respect. When meeting friends, a slight bow is usually enough.
In some Middle Eastern countries, it is a common custom to take off your shoes before entering someone’s house. This is seen as a sign of respect for the host and keeping the house clean. People there also place great importance on hospitality. Guests are often treated with the best food and drinks, and hosts will go out of their way to make them feel comfortable.
In India, the traditional greeting is “Namaste”, where people put their palms together in front of their chest and bow slightly. This gesture is used in various settings, from greeting neighbors to meeting strangers. It represents a sense of unity and respect.
When traveling to different countries, it is essential to be aware of these customs. Not following them might lead to misunderstandings or even be considered rude. For example, if a tourist doesn’t take off their shoes in a Middle Eastern home, the host might feel disrespected. Understanding and respecting these cultural differences can help build better relationships and make travel experiences more enjoyable.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have a natural ability to make friends easily while others struggle It turns out that good social skills play a crucial role. In Unit 11, we learned about basic communication skills that can help in building relationships.
One important aspect is being a good listener. When you listen attentively to others, they feel valued and understood. This encourages them to open up and share more. For example, if your friend is telling you about a problem they had at school, instead of interrupting and giving advice right away, you should listen carefully first. Then, you can offer some helpful suggestions.
Another key point is having a positive attitude. People are generally attracted to those who are optimistic and friendly. Smiling often, using kind words, and showing enthusiasm can make you more approachable. If you always seem gloomy or negative, others might be less likely to want to interact with you.
Body language also matters a lot. Maintaining eye contact, standing up straight, and using open gestures can convey confidence and interest. On the other hand, crossing your arms, looking down, or fidgeting might give the impression that you are disinterested or nervous.
In a social gathering, initiating conversations is essential. You can start with a simple greeting and a question about the other person’s interests. This shows that you are interested in getting to know them. By applying these skills, you can improve your social life and make more friends.
What is the main factor in making friends easily according to the passage
Having a lot of money. B. Good social skills.
C. Being good-looking. D. Living in a big city.
Why is being a good listener important
A. It helps you give better advice. B. It makes others feel valued and understood.
C. It saves time in conversations. D. It shows you are smarter.
What kind of attitude attracts people

阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。
In many Western countries, tipping is a common practice. When you go to a restaurant, you are usually expected to leave a tip for the waiter or waitress. The amount of the tip can vary, but it is generally around 15% - 20% of the total bill. This extra money is a way to show appreciation for the good service you received.
However, tipping customs can be a bit confusing for foreigners. In some places, like hotels, you might need to tip the bellboy who helps with your luggage. And in a taxi, it is also customary to give a tip to the driver. But in other situations, such as in fast-food restaurants or coffee shops where you order at the counter, tipping is not always necessary.
Some people argue that tipping should be abolished because it can be unfair. For example, not all customers can afford to tip generously, and sometimes the quality of service doesn’t seem to match the tip amount. Others believe that it is an important part of the service industry and helps motivate employees to provide better service.
What is the common percentage range for tipping in a restaurant in Western countries
Who might you need to tip in a hotel
Is tipping always necessary in coffee shops
Why do some people think tipping should be abolished
What is the other opinion about tipping
