Unit 10 You're supposed to shake hands
一、短文填空
Many Chinese people go abroad to travel, to study, and even to live on their own. People should learn about the cultures they visit because some of the cultures are very d 1 from ours. If you know them and understand them, it will help you a lot.
Talking about the weather and sports is a good way to s 2 a conversation. But when you talk to westerners, you shouldn’t ask about their age because it is not p 3 . Also, you should not ask about how much money they make every month, not even with someone you know well. In p 4 places like museums and libraries, you shouldn’t eat or drink when others are q 5 looking at art works or reading books. When you visit a Western country and you want to give someone a small g 6 or flowers, be careful to choose the right c 7 of flowers. This is because in some countries white flowers are for the dead. When you receive a present from someone, remember to write a thank-you note to e 8 your thankfulness(感谢). Using polite language will never be w 9 .
The most i 10 thing to remember is that wherever(无论哪里)you are, respect(尊重)the local culture. It may not be the same as the one in your home country, but you should try your best to learn about it and respect it.
Lin Yue is having a great time on her student exchange program in France. She was a bit 11 before she arrived there. But her host family go out of their way to make her feel at home. Her French has 12 because of the granddaughter’s help. Although she still makes lots of 13 , it doesn’t worry her as it used to.
Lin Yue’s 14 challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table because things are very different 15 the way they are at home. First, she’s supposed to put her bread on the table instead of plate. 16 , she is not supposed to eat anything with her hands except bread, not even fruit. She has to cut it up and eat it with 17 fork. Third, it’s impolite to say she’s full. She should just say, “That was delicious.” Finally, she is not supposed to put her elbows on the table. It is difficult to remember 18 , but she is gradually 19 used to it. She doesn’t find French customs so strange 20 .
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内所给单词的正确形式。
The sweetest memory of my childhood is about a round table. When I was still little, my whole family would get together on different traditional 21 (festival) to have dinner. While the grown-ups were having a 22 (discuss), we kids would be sitting around or playing hide-and-seek under the table.
When I got a bit older, my aunt 23 (bring) back her husband home and my grandma cheerfully added another seat to the round table. It seemed a little more crowded, but we all felt much 24 (close) to each other.
We all have a table like this in our homes. It is 25 sign of reunion (重聚) of our family showing our feelings. 26 the reasons why we come together may be different, the feelings behind it are the same. 27 (usual) different cultures are accepted by us around the table. What’s more, we express the love not only for our family, but also 28 a community, our nation and even the world.
The history of our nation has been the stories of 29 (look) for or running to the round table which we belong to. The round table has been a symbol of the Chinese feelings. It 30 (be), it is and will always be.
二、完形填空
An old saying goes, “When in Rome (罗马), do as the Romans do.” I learned the meaning of this when I studied in Russia.
One day I 31 some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow. My guests and I were excited from visiting Red Square and happy about our meeting. We chatted 32 until the waiter told me that we were talking too loud. We turned our voices lower. But this didn’t last long. The waiter came over to us two more times with the same 33 .
How bad an impression (印象) we must have left on the local people! In China, it’s natural and 34 for a host (主人) to make a lively atmosphere (气氛). However, in Russia and western countries, having a meal in a public place means you must 35 your voice low. You need to be polite to others.
I felt 36 about this. Even though we tried our best, it’s very difficult to form a new habit. Russians have their own special habits. My Russian friend, Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home. I asked him 37 he did this. “Aha,” Andrey said, “In Russia, people always spend about a minute 38 things and plans in their minds before leaving. So they won’t leave 39 necessary behind.
Finding the differences between 40 is very interesting. I’d like to keep my eyes and mind open.

Stress(压力) is the feeling you get when you’re really worried about something. This is the kind of worry that troubles you for hours, or even days. It makes you feel 41 , scared (恐惧的), or angry. You may find it difficult to eat and sleep, or you might eat and sleep much 42 than usual. Stressing out will lead to serious problems like heart illness. 43 not all stress is bad for you. Sometimes it can 44 your body and mind alert (机敏的) and can make you perform better, like when you’re giving a speech to your class or running to the finish line.
What causes stress? Do you know 45 your dad is worried about the bills, or your mom is unhappy? Because they’re stressed out! There are lots of things in your life that 46 cause stress —— having too much homework, taking a test in a subject that you are not good 47 , or hearing your parents argue!
There are some ways to 48 stress. If you’re stressed out, try these quick and easy ways to relax! Take part in sports and out-of-class activities. Try to get at least eight hours of sleep every night. Eat a healthy, balanced 49 that includes all kinds of food. Talk with your close friends, family members or teachers. It’ll make you feel better, and 50 may be able to give you advice and help you solve your problem.

British people are famous for apologizing (道歉) in almost every situation. Whether they are apologizing for asking a question, for the bad weather 51 sneezing (打喷嚏), they are probably the number one nation for apologies.
British people take pride in 52 because of their polite manners towards one another in public. As a result, they often use the word “sorry”—even when they don't really 53 it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they will 54 by saying “Sorry to trouble you.” If they’re five minutes late 55 an appointment (约会), they will generally 56 the person by saying “Sorry, I’m late!”
57 do British people use “sorry” so much? Well, in the British custom, saying “sorry” is a manner to be polite, 58 to people whom they don’t know very well. It’s also a very smart way to get what they want. In recent research, an actor got close to 59 strangers on a rainy day to ask if he could use their mobile phones. When he walked to one group of strangers and asked them without apologizing first, he was only 9 percent successful in 60 their phones. However, when he apologized to another group of strangers about the bad weather before asking, he was 47 percent successful.
