In years past, many people would travel over New Year's Eve and immerse themselves in a different culture.Countries around the world celebrate the new year with unique customs and traditions carried out at the celebration.
Japan: Eat toshikoshi soba
Shiwasu is the end of the year period in Japan.To celebrate New Year's Eve, people eat “year crossing” soba, which can symbolize having a long and fortunate life along with a clean break from the year.However, when eaten at midnight, there's a certain cross of the old and the new year, thus you cannot “break off” all of last year's troubles properly but instead carry them over to the following year.
Russia: Burn, then drink your wishes
After a year of ruined dreams and canceled plans, set your sights on a fresh start with this Russian tradition.Before midnight, write down your wishes on a piece of paper, then light the paper on fire.Once it's stopped burning, spread the wish filled ashes into a glass of champagne and drink up shortly after the clock completes striking midnight.
Spain: Eat 12 grapes
Perhaps the easiest tradition to carry out is eating grapes for good luck.When the clock starts striking at midnight, eat one with each ringing sound.Better if you're wearing special New Year's Eve underwear while eating your grapes.A pair of red underwear can bring you a new year of love, while yellow may bring joy and fortune.
Greece: Hang some onions
If you've been cooking, maybe you have some onions around the house to spare for this tradition.In Greece, onions symbolize rebirth, so people hang them up on their doors on Dec.31 to encourage a year of growth.Keep the Greek traditions going by baking a special cake on New Year's Day.Hide a coin in the cake and share it with your loved ones — whoever finds the coin is said to have a year of good luck.

Torbjorn Pedersen is a Danish traveler who recently finished a trip around the world.But this wasn't just any trip.
In 2013, Mr Pedersen read an article about someone who had visited all the countries of the world.It made him realize he could set a record by doing the same thing, but without flying.
He hoped that he could live on a budget of about $20 a day.He_had_originally_anticipated_it_would_take_four_years_to_reach_countries,_but_the_world_had_other_plans.
Though he did have to quit his job and leave his parents and girlfriend behind, the first part of his trip was pretty easy, but as he moved on to other parts of the world, things began to get hard.
To cross large bodies of water, Mr Pedersen took boats.Sometimes it was hard to find a boat.At other times, Mr Pedersen was on a boat for days, being tossed (摇摆颠簸) by strong waves during a storm.He traveled by taxi, bus, train, and even walking.With a limited budget, sometimes people invited him into their homes.At other times, he had to sleep outside.Mr Pedersen says he had many difficult experiences.He was once held at gunpoint and thought he might be killed.He also became severely ill with a serious disease.
But he also had many good experiences.Mr Pedersen says that one reason why he didn't give up was the help he got from people all over the world.On July 26, Mr Pedersen arrived back in Denmark after a 33 day boat ride.He was met by about 150 people, including friends and family members.
In the last 10 years, he's covered around 260,000 miles — roughly 10 times the distance around the Earth.Mr Pedersen says he's looking forward to some quiet time to think about his trip.After that, he plans to write a book and share what he learned in his travels around the world.

Words are powerful: they have the ability to lift up the lowest of the low or tear down the highest of the high.But a strong argument could be made that our body language is even more influential.The most effective communication occurs when the importance of body language in teaching is acknowledged.When these nonverbal signals are working together with our words, it creates communication synergy.
It has been suggested that two thirds of our communication is nonverbal.Positive body language in a classroom setting has the ability to motivate, inspire and engage.It can not only give you the confidence you need to teach but can also inform your students that you actually know what you're talking about.It can even make your students feel safe and confident enough to participate in the lessons more frequently.
Most leadership positions encourage body language that shows power and confidence.Signals include standing tall, gesturing only from the waist up, head straight and forward, and talking while pointing to others, which are obvious ways to exercise control.But when teaching, the nonverbal signals need to show a different type of leader.These signals convey warmth and understanding, reminding your students that you are approachable and there to help them grow.For example, fix your eyes on one student for about 15 30 seconds before changing to another student, which is one of the best ways to keep students' focus.Nod your head.Give the thumbs up! Show them they are on the right path and that they will be more confident in continuing down it.
The importance of body language can never be ignored.It's desirable that you should advocate using body language in teaching and pay attention to the use rule and using skills.You should use right, natural and clear body language.It's crucial that you create good classroom atmosphere, inspire students' imagination and grasp students' mood.
8.What can we learn from paragraph 1
A.Words are more powerful than body language in conveying meaning.
B.Nonverbal cues account for only a minor part of the communication.
C.Teachers should focus on their verbal expressions rather than their body language.
D.Combining body language and spoken communication enhances teaching effectiveness.
9.What does the body language used by most leadership positions mainly express
A.Warmth. B.Encouragement.
C.Understanding. D.Control.
10.What's the purpose of the last paragraph
A.To give suggestions. B.To make a description.
C.To explain a theory. D.To summarize a debate.
11.What is the text mainly talking about
A.The value of teacher student communication.
B.The effective ways of good communication.
C.The importance of teacher's body language.
D.The prospect of students' nonverbal learning.
D
One side effect of globalization and the related phenomenon of greatly increased mobility (流动性) is that the_traditional_definition_of_“foreigner”_has_passed_its_“best_before_date”.
Is a European who has lived in China longer than in his home country, becoming fluent in the language and knowing the culture well in the process, still a foreigner in China, or has he become more of a foreigner in his own hometown What about a Beijinger who had her schooling in Canada and then lived and worked there for another 20 years while raising a family who has no intention of returning to China?Does she think and act like a foreigner What do we mean by this label (标签)
When I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, the faces I would see during a walk through a local shopping mall back in the 1960s and 1970s included almost none of Asian descent (血统).Today the local malls are full of Asian faces, and a glance at the ranks of top scoring students in local schools reveals lots of Asian surnames.
To some extent, this is no great surprise in the American context, because America is a land of immigrants, and a cultural melting pot. Apart from the native American Indians, Americans are (or were), in some way, all foreigners anyway.Absorbing a large number of immigrants is an established pattern in American history.
In most places, the traditional foreigners were people who didn't speak or read the local languages well and were unfamiliar with local customs and lifestyles. But, nowadays, a foreigner walking down the street may have better SAT scores than you, or a higher degree from a better university.
The traditional role models are getting mixed up, and it looks like this is just the beginning of a new chapter. Today, the whole thing has totally changed. It's not about where people are from or what color their skins are. It's about who they are, what values and skills they bring, and how they think.
12.What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 mean
A.The term “foreigner” should be redefined.
B.The term “foreigner” should no longer be used.
C.There are no more foreigners in the world today.
D.The term “foreigner” is not proper to define people.
13.What does the author tend to tell us by mentioning a European and a Beijinger
A.It's no longer proper to define foreigners according to their birthplaces.
B.The label of foreigners can never be removed.
C.Most foreigners can do well in learning languages.
D.It's impossible for a foreigner to get recognition abroad.
14.What can be inferred from the third paragraph
A.In 1960s and 1970s, Asians didn't shop in Chicago.
B.Today, more and more Asian travellers like to shop in Chicago.
C.There are more Asian people today than in the 1960s and 1970s in Chicago.
D.Most Asian students do well academically in the schools in Chicago.
15.What's the main idea of the passage
A.Globalization and mobility have caused more and more immigrants.
B.The standards of defining “foreigner” have thoroughly changed.
C.America is a cultural melting pot.
D.Immigration is a global social phenomenon.

Susan and Mrs Monroe met one day during lunch time.Mrs Monroe was thrilled with the idea, and said she would make sure copies of the letter went home with all the students in the class! Susan burst into tears and held her arms tightly with excitement, “Great! We start right now!” They collected the winter clothing for a few weeks, then were able to take their field trip to two parks in the area to leave the clothes where families who needed them could get them.
Three days after their field trip to the park.Susan and her mom were driving once again.She saw the same family walking together that had given her the idea for Hats in York.This time, though, the family looked nice and warm in some new coats, hats, and gloves.Seeing this, her mom smiled to her, “Sweetie, you did a wonderful job!” Susan felt a warm glow in her heart, and was very glad she could help her community.
