异国寄宿新体验： Wan Li的伦敦家庭之旅·When people travel in another city or country， they sometimes stay in the homes of the local people. This is called homestay. It is a great experience because you can meet people from a different country or city and learn something new about that place.
I am Wan Li from China. I came to the UK with my friends for a short visit. We are living with an English couple， Mr and Mrs Green， in the west of London. They have a wonderful four-bedroom house. This is a new house. It has two bathrooms and a garden with many beautiful flowers. I have a bedroom of my own.
There are some shopping centers and restaurants near the house， and the house is close to an underground station. It takes about thirty minutes to get to the centre of London by underground.
I think a homestay may be a good choice for you if it is your first time to go abroad. The local people are friendly and helpful. If you happen to celebrate the holidays with them， you will get to know more about Western culture and customs.

人口新纪元：印度超越中国，迎接未来的关键时刻· According to the United Nations， India’s population has surpassed China’s. With 1，461 billion people， it is the most populous country in the world.
What is driving India’s population growth？ Well， one of the biggest reasons is its young people. Nearly half of the country’s population is under the age of 25. Because of this， scientists believe that India’s population will reach the top in 2065. They say that India has a lot to learn from China. Giving better education is actually one of the best ways to control population.
Becoming the world’s most populous country means an important turning point in India’s development. Have you ever heard the term “demographic dividend（人口红利）”？ It means that the more working people a country has， the more likely its economy（经济） is to grow. In 2021， the working-age population of India stood at 900 million. That was a surprising number. However， the U.S. working-age population was only 207 million.
Nearly 40 years ago， many young， clever Indians started moving to the West. They were looking for better chances for their skills. At that time， many scientists were worried about this. Many of them have become CEOs of top companies in the world. They can help develop their home country.
▲ There are， for example， not as many new non-farming jobs as people expected. Millions of young Indians feel hopeless about the future of their jobs. They choose to continue their studies rather than look for jobs. India’s unemployment rate（失业率） climbed to 8.11％ this past April.
India still has a long way to go before it starts to take full advantage of its population size.

文化碰撞中的误会：从“你别说！”说起·One day I happened to meet an Englishman in the street and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English， the foreigner seemed to be very surprised， gently shaking his head and saying “You don’t say！ ” I was puzzled， and I thought， “Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about.” So I said to him， “Well， shall we talk about the Great Wall？ Have you ever been there？”
“Certainly！ Everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is wonderful！” “Yes， it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit it.” As I went on telling him more about it， he stopped me again， “You don’t say！”
I couldn’t help asking， “Why do you ask me not to talk about it？”
“Well， I didn’t ask you to do so，” he answered， greatly surprised.
“Did you say ‘You don’t say！’？ ” I asked again.
Hearing this， the foreigner laughed loudly. He began to explain， “‘You don’t say！’ means ‘Really？’. Perhaps you know little about English idioms（惯用语）.”
Wow！ How foolish I was！ Since then， I have been careful with English idioms and culture.

跨文化的肢体语言：手势背后的无声对话·We usually send and receive information through the movement of our bodies. Body language can express（表达） different feelings. We often use gestures（手势） or body movements to express our mind. For example， when someone is giving a talk， he or she may often use his or her hands to emphasize（强调） points.
The victory（胜利） sign， the OK sign， the goodbye wave and the blowing of a kiss are all popular gestures in America. However， most of these gestures are not accepted（接受） by people in other countries. For example， the OK gesture means acceptance in America， but it has other meanings in other countries. In France， it means worthlessness（无价值）， while in Greece it is a sign of quite disrespect（不尊重）.
There are some other differences in the non-verbal（非语言的） messages of people of different sexes（性别）. In American culture， men usually sit or stand with their legs apart and hands outward， while women usually keep their legs together and their hands at their sides. Women sit more quietly than men most of the time. Women are also better than men at expressing themselves by using gestures.
In short， body language is simple and useful， so we should learn how to use it in our daily lives.

跨文化握手礼：英德学生初次见面的幽默误会·Before you go to another country， it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs of the country. When people meet each other for the first time in Britain， they say， “How do you do？” and then shake hands. Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye. But they shake hands if they haven’t met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.
Last year， a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station， they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned the Germans shake hands as often as possible， so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with the German students. It made both of them laugh.

跨文化视野：中美文化差异解析·Living in a different culture can be both an exciting and a challenging experience. You have to learn different cultures and try to get used to them. Let’s share some cultural differences between China and the U.S. to help understand each other.
Privacy（隐私）—Chinese people talk about subjects such as ages and income（收入）， which Americans think are not polite.
Families—In China， elders are traditionally treated with respect and they often live with their children. In America， the goal of the family is to encourage independence（独立）， especially that of the children. Unlike the Chinese， few elderly Americans live with their children.
Money—The Chinese like saving money. They are always careful when they are planning to spend money. It is different in America. Far fewer American families are saving money.
Education—Chinese people value education and jobs more than Americans do， who pay more attention to good nature instead.

人口新纪元：印度超越中国，迎接未来的关键时刻· According to the United Nations， India’s population has surpassed China’s. With 1，461 billion people， it is the most populous country in the world.
What is driving India’s population growth？ Well， one of the biggest reasons is its young people. Nearly half of the country’s population is under the age of 25. Because of this， scientists believe that India’s population will reach the top in 2065. They say that India has a lot to learn from China. Giving better education is actually one of the best ways to control population.
Becoming the world’s most populous country means an important turning point in India’s development. Have you ever heard the term “demographic dividend（人口红利）”？ It means that the more working people a country has， the more likely its economy（经济） is to grow. In 2021， the working-age population of India stood at 900 million. That was a surprising number. However， the U.S. working-age population was only 207 million.
Nearly 40 years ago， many young， clever Indians started moving to the West. They were looking for better chances for their skills. At that time， many scientists were worried about this. Many of them have become CEOs of top companies in the world. They can help develop their home country.
▲ There are， for example， not as many new non-farming jobs as people expected. Millions of young Indians feel hopeless about the future of their jobs. They choose to continue their studies rather than look for jobs. India’s unemployment rate（失业率） climbed to 8.11％ this past April.
India still has a long way to go before it starts to take full advantage of its population size.

And actually India has become the country with the 22. largest population in the world in 2024.
There is something further in the report. It took 12 23. years to grow from 7 to 8 billion in the past， but it 24. will take about 15 years to hit 9 billion in the near future. That means the world’s population is growing more slowly than before.
When population increases too fast， it can cause some problems， such as too much traffic and 25. pollution . Luckily， many countries are making great efforts to solve these problems with better public services. They are trying to create a more 26. enjoyable and comfortable living environment.
The UN Secretary General， Antonio Guterres， talked about another serious problem. The world has grown richer， but the 27. differences between the rich and the poor are growing as well. A great number of people still don’t get enough food 28. to eat . There are also a lot of people in the world leaving 29. their homes for many causes.

文化碰撞中的误会：从“你别说！”说起·One day I happened to meet an Englishman in the street and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English， the foreigner seemed to be very surprised， gently shaking his head and saying “You don’t say！ ” I was puzzled， and I thought， “Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about.” So I said to him， “Well， shall we talk about the Great Wall？ Have you ever been there？”
“Certainly！ Everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is wonderful！” “Yes， it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit it.” As I went on telling him more about it， he stopped me again， “You don’t say！”
I couldn’t help asking， “Why do you ask me not to talk about it？”
“Well， I didn’t ask you to do so，” he answered， greatly surprised.
“Did you say ‘You don’t say！’？ ” I asked again.
Hearing this， the foreigner laughed loudly. He began to explain， “‘You don’t say！’ means ‘Really？’. Perhaps you know little about English idioms（惯用语）.”
Wow！ How foolish I was！ Since then， I have been careful with English idioms and culture.

跨文化的肢体语言：手势背后的无声对话·We usually send and receive information through the movement of our bodies. Body language can express（表达） different feelings. We often use gestures（手势） or body movements to express our mind. For example， when someone is giving a talk， he or she may often use his or her hands to emphasize（强调） points.
The victory（胜利） sign， the OK sign， the goodbye wave and the blowing of a kiss are all popular gestures in America. However， most of these gestures are not accepted（接受） by people in other countries. For example， the OK gesture means acceptance in America， but it has other meanings in other countries. In France， it means worthlessness（无价值）， while in Greece it is a sign of quite disrespect（不尊重）.
There are some other differences in the non-verbal（非语言的） messages of people of different sexes（性别）. In American culture， men usually sit or stand with their legs apart and hands outward， while women usually keep their legs together and their hands at their sides. Women sit more quietly than men most of the time. Women are also better than men at expressing themselves by using gestures.
In short， body language is simple and useful， so we should learn how to use it in our daily lives.

跨文化握手礼：英德学生初次见面的幽默误会·Before you go to another country， it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs of the country. When people meet each other for the first time in Britain， they say， “How do you do？” and then shake hands. Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye. But they shake hands if they haven’t met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.
Last year， a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station， they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned the Germans shake hands as often as possible， so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with the German students. It made both of them laugh.

Privacy（隐私）—Chinese people talk about subjects such as ages and income（收入）， which Americans think are not polite.
Families—In China， elders are traditionally treated with respect and they often live with their children. In America， the goal of the family is to encourage independence（独立）， especially that of the children. Unlike the Chinese， few elderly Americans live with their children.
Money—The Chinese like saving money. They are always careful when they are planning to spend money. It is different in America. Far fewer American families are saving money.
Education—Chinese people value education and jobs more than Americans do， who pay more attention to good nature instead.
