Everything Iexperienced, such as ways of living, clothes, music, and food, seemed new. However, after about two months, the differences made me feel uncomfortable. I started missing my friends and family. Annoying(恼人的)thoughts took over my mind: Nobody could really understand me. Why was it so difficult to learn Chinese? Why couldn't I have my mom's cooking here? These thoughts were highly unhelpful. So over the next few months, Istarted to make some real changes. I made new friends, learned to get used to the differences and so on. Things started to make sense and I understood Chinese culture better and better! Every day I felt more and more comfortable with my new home. I developed many new traits(特点) while also keeping earlier ones from my home country. My happiest moment was when my dear friend one day said to me, “You are Chinese now, Jack! You sound just like us!” Culture shock is not so difficult, and here are some tips that did help me: Try to really put yourself out there and make friends! Talk, even when you make mistakes!

Different cultures have special customs when a child's baby teeth fall out. ②After a child loses his baby tooth in Greece, he makes a wish for a strong and healthy tooth while throwing it onto the roof. He tries to throw the tooth as straight as possible because he hopes that a straight strong tooth will grow. Children in China and Singapore also do the same thing. ③In parts of Africa, kids throw upper(上面的) teeth on the roof and bury( 埋 ) lower teeth in the ground. But in East Asia, children throw lower teeth onto the roof, and hide upper teeth under the bed. In some mid-eastern countries such as Iraq and Egypt, kids will throw their teeth up towards the sky. ④But do you know one of the most common ways to deal with it? Kids give the tooth to a mouse. They want to make the new tooth as strong as the mouse's.They usually make a wish or sing a song while they are doing this. This happens in many places like Mexico, Russia, and New Zealand. ⑤ In fact, kids in Argentina leave their tooth in a glass for a magical mouse.They think it will bring a treasure while they sleep. In France and Switzerland, aLa Petit Souris(little mouse) takes the baby teeth and gives kids money or candy.In South Africa, the tooth is left in a slipper(拖鞋), and a“tooth mouse” will leave a gift behind. How interesting it is! ⑥ This is not all. In some places, people keep their baby teeth at home. In modern times, parents also keep their children's baby teeth to get stem cells (干细胞) for some medical research later in life. 31.( )新考法·开篇方式 The writer started the passage by .

D （10 分） In Thailand, people do not eat with chopsticks. This is different from China,Japan and Korea. They use spoons and forks.36. People will cut most food before meals. If you need to cut food during meals, use the side of your spoon first and then use your fork. 37. People in Thailand use spoons more often than forks.
