A篇
There are plenty of opportunities to study and work abroad. But some early-career scientists might face challenges adapting to different communication styles and different workplaces. However, supervisors(主管) and junior researchers can reduce the risk of misunderstandings by actively learning about each other's cultures and expressing workplace expectations clearly.
It is important to be sensitive(敏感的) to cultural differences and to avoid misunderstandings. Nanda Dimitrov, director of Western University's Teaching Support Centre in London, says that she personally experienced directness more often in the United Kingdom than in the United States. She points out that the relationship between junior researchers and supervisors is influenced by many factors including personality, former experiences and the department's culture.
Keshun Zhang faced this issue after moving from China to the University of Konstanz in Germany to get his PhD in psychology. He was used to following teachers' suggestions. But the culture in Germany always encourages you to argue, and to fight for yourself. With his supervisor's encouragement, he started pushing back. After his first year, his supervisor said, “Wow, finally you have learnt to say no.” Zhang also realized that he was expected to work independently. His supervisor pushed him to try to solve problems on his own and to ask for guidance only if he becamestuck.
“Sometimes a student from another country may come across as ‘rude’, but in their culture, they're not,” says Amratia, who was a Kenyan student at the University of Florida in Gainesville. “Researchers should also remember that their nation's customs aren't necessarily best. When you come from a different country, you don't assume everybody should be doing things your way. I never cared if somebody was different from me as long as it didn't seriously affect the rest of the lab,” Amratia said.

B篇
Opera is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. However, it requires only an opportunity to awaken people's interest. A Yue Opera play titled New Dragon Gate Inn is just the opportunity.
As the play gets popularity, an actress, who plays the important supporting role of Jia Ting, has become a star. Nicknamed the “Jade-faced Man”, Jia's handsome
appearance and attractive yet natural charm have got more attention.
Now the actress is sparking a Yue Opera fever in China. She says her profession is a combination of the charms of both genders while showing a mysterious sense of beauty.
Innovation(创新) may be an important reason for this play to be popular. Unlike traditional opera stage, the theater is like an inn. The audience sit close to the performers. They are guests in the inn, and sometimes, the performers interact(互动) with them. In some cases, the audience become part of the play. They immerse themselves in a unique and fascinating viewing experience. The idea of the stage seems to disappear. So does the distance between performers and the audience. The audience and performers are all part of the play.
This fresh, unusual viewing experience has drawn young people to the theater again and again. They really like it. The success of New Dragon Gate Inn comes not only from the charm of the work itself, but also from the cultural heritage. Through the play, more people have come to realize that Yue Opera can tap more opportunities for the future of traditional Chinese opera.
“Opera is absorbed in the DNA of the Chinese. After a small stone is cast, the DNA awakens. I hope I am that small stone,” the actress said. “Today, we are putting in great efforts to make Yue Opera more popular with the younger generation. This is a positive step in the revival(复兴) of this ancient art.”
