八。Reading strategy
Understanding the use of examples
Examples are often used in texts and serve several purposes. They can be used to explain concepts and ideas, to support arguments and as interesting stories. In the text above, an example is used to explain the concept of cultural differences between English speakers from different countries. e.g. “our American teacher is always talking about thanksgiving… The British teachers didn’t know what he is talking about. Understanding the use of examples can aid comprehension of a text.
九. 课文复述
1)课文背诵
Ma Li has to do her homework on cultural differences. So she goes online to chat with others and find some information she needs.
She gets to know English and American people have unbelievable differences in culture even though they both speak English. For example, the British may be puzzled when Americans talk about Thanksgiving and the huge turkey they eat. There are different reactions in the West and the East when they get presents. Westerners like to open them as soon as they get one. Though there are similarities between wedding traditions in the west, there are also differences between different western countries. In Italy, guests expect to get presents from the newly-weds while the guests are expected to give presents to them in the UK. In Brunei, a male guest has to sit with the bridegroom and the other men and a female guest has to be with the bride and the other women in a different area. What’s more, if you go to Brunei, you should point with your thumb instead of your index finger. You shouldn’t wear yellow. Either.
So remember when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Make the benefits most, reduce the drawbacks least
Hosting the Olympics successfully is, perhaps, the greatest glory for a city. However, before transforming the dream into reality, the benefits and drawbacks of hosting the Olympics should be considered carefully.
Hosting the Olympics surely would bring about much gain to a city. Boom of the local economy, more jobs, and the possibility of generating income all sound extremely attractive to the municipal government. At the same time, better infrastructure (基础设施), cleaner environment, enjoying the wonderful game with hundreds of sports elites (精英) and entertainment stars, and the opportunity of contacting people from all over the world also seem exciting to the citizens. Besides, the hosting will definitely promote the patriotic emotion and pride, as well as the moral behavior in local people. In most cases, hosting the Olympics is well supported by both the public and the central government.
But this is not the entire view of the pretty picture. If we look from another angle, the Olympic hosting might bring about some side-effects to a city.
First, the environmental impacts, including the increasing exhaust smoke of cars, more pressure on water resources, huge amount of wasted leaflets and other materials used for public activities, are most probably neglected. In order to broaden the streets, some trees may have to be cut. Near the construction site, the tiny dust may float in the air for a long time. Reduction of farmland may be caused by the need of setting up new sports centre or accommodation facilities. These environmental consequences can be especially serious in a resource-limited and thickly-populated city in a third-world country. Second, if talking about the economic benefit, it should not be forgotten that a quick increase may lead to bubble (泡沫) growth, which may easily crash. If not well managed and organized, the big event may not be so profitable, and the new facilities may be forever empty after the games. Yes, there have been cases that host cities ended up with enormous debts.
No one stops eating merely because too much food might hurt his stomach and make him ill. Since we have bid for it, what we can do is to make the benefits most and reduce the drawbacks least.
Title: Make the benefits most, reduce the drawbacks least
Two (1) _______ of the coin. The Olympics may become a glory if (2) _______ successfully.
Drawbacks may be (3) _______ about as well.
The (4) _______ of hosting the Olympics. They city’s infrastructure gets (5) _______ and its economy, education, employment may benefit a lot.
There are more chances to get in (6) _______ with the people from all over the world.
People are (7) _______ of their country.
The disadvantages of hosting the Olympics. The games may lead to environmental (8) _______.
Too quick increase in economy gets crashed after the event.
The facilities may get (9) ______ after the games.
We should think about the (10) _______ drawbacks while preparing for the Olympics so as to make the event a really beneficial one.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Johnson,
I’m writing to you from my home in China. I returned home safe and sound. When I think of the wonderful two weeks I spent in Australia, I just can’t help thinking of both of you. It was so kind of you to have provided everything to make my staying there such a happy and lucky experience. I’ve learned so much, not only English but also culture. And I really enjoyed a great deal the fun and laughter we shared with each other. Thank you very much. I’ll always remember this trip as well as your kindness.
I’ll keep in touch and write to you later. Please take care!
Yours,
Li Ming
