both
ways
in
my
country.
______.
One
day,
I
was
checking
for
cars
while
I
was
waiting
to
go
to
the
other
side
of
the
road.
______,
so
I
stopped
and
waited.
However,
to
my
surprise,
the
car
stopped
right
in
front
of
me.
To
be
honest,
I
was
a
little
puzzled
because
in
my
country,
drivers
usually
try
to
drive
as
fast
as
possible
before
people
can
cross
the
road.
______,
so
I
waved（挥手示意）to
let
him
go
first.
The
driver
waved
back
with
a
big
smile,
seemingly
saying:
"You
first!"
______.
But
he
shook
his
head
all
the
time.
At
last,
I
gave
in
and
went
first.
This
happened
six
months
ago,
but
the
scene
still
comes
back
to
my
mind
again
and
again.
______.
I
really
hope
that
more
people
in
my
country
will
realize
this
and
make
crossing
the
street
safe
for
all
the
people.
A.A
sporty
car
came
fast
towards
me
B.I
didn't
move
and
kept
waving
him
through
C.Good
road-crossing
manners（礼仪）mean
peace,
fewer
accidents
and
most
importantly,
respect
between
people
D.I
saw
no
sign
the
car
was
going
to
move
E.However,
I
had
a
different
experience
in
Berkeley,
a
beautiful
city
in
California,
USA

How
many
words
do
the
Eskimos
have
for
snow?
In
1911,
one
book
said
there
were
four
words.
______.
In
the
1930s
or
1940s,
a
newspaper
said,
"The
Eskimos
have
more
than
ten
words
for
snow."______.
Some
books
said
that
the
Eskimos
had
100
words
for
snow,
others
said
1,000.
So,
how
many
are
there
really?
______.
In
fact,
there
isn't
only
one
Eskimo
language,
there
are
many.
______.
There
are
many
words
for
snow
in
other
languages
too.
In
English,
for
example,
we
have
sleet
(a
mix
of
snow
and
rain),
slush
(part
snow,
part
water)
and
others.______.
The
next
time
someone
tells
you
that
Eskimos
have
1,000
words
for
snow,
tell
them
it
isn't
true!
A.Also,
having
words
for
different
kinds
of
snow
is
usual.
B.So
just
remember
that
the
Eskimos
don't
have
more
words
for
snow
than
we
English
speakers
do
C.Some
years
later,
another
book
said
there
were
seven
D.The
fact
is
there
isn't
an
easy
answer
to
the
question

years
the
story
went
on,
and
the
numbers
grew
