B A few weeks ago, our classmate Wu Ruijie gave us a lesson. The lesson was interesting and lively. During the lesson, she talked about her experiences in America. Here is one story. One day, she talked to a Chinese friend on her mobile phone on the New York subway. A foreign woman stood beside her. She used a Chinese word quite a lot. Its pronunciation was like a rude English word. So the woman angrily glared at (盯着) her. Ms Tang also shared an experience. It happened when she was in Australia. It was a sunny day. She walked on the street with an umbrella. She wanted to protect herself from the sunlight. A man behind her asked, ''Is it raining?'' In Australia, people don't use umbrellas on sunny days. So the man thought it was awkward. We can see cultural differences between countries from the two stories. How should we deal with the differences? Here are some suggestions. First, respect everyone everywhere. Second, learn local culture before going. Third, explain if we make mistakes. Finally, always be kind. In a word, cultural differences are not a big problem. Just treat others kindly. Pay attention to learning other countries' cultures. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 ( )26. What did the writer think of Wu Ruijie's lesson? A. Useful and easy. B. Boring and difficult. C.

China has a long history of gift-giving culture. If you want to send others gifts there, you had better do it yourself and give your wishes face to face. In China, even if a gift is precious, the giver always has to tell the receiver that this expensive gift is just ''a little gift''. And if you receive a gift from a Chinese friend, it is not polite to open it in front of the giver. Unlike in China, when you receive a gift in Japan, you must open it in front of the giver. Whether you like it or not, you must praise the gift to show you like it very much. In this way, both the receiver and the giver will be happy. No other countries can take gift-giving as seriously as Japan. Gift-givers often pack gifts in white paper. They use white paper to keep dirty things out so that the gift is clean. Italians usually do not bring gifts when they visit others. They send gifts the next day or even later. It is to show respect and can help the givers choose right gifts. Usually candies and wine (酒) are popular gifts. Chocolate is also a good choice. In Italy, a handkerchief (手帕) is not welcome as a gift. A handkerchief is the symbol of saying goodbye. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 ( )31. What does the underlined word ''precious'' mean? A. poor B. valuable C. magical D. boring ( )32.

D. To keep dirty things away, Japanese people use white paper to pack gifts. ( )35. What is the best title for the passage? A. Experiences of Gift-receiving in China B.

This can be confusing (令人困惑) for people from other countries. 36._ In fact, people in the US often just want to be friendly. Most people expect a quick answer like ''I'm fine, thanks. And you?'' or ''I'm good, thanks!'' before moving on. 37._ If you are greeting someone older than you, it's polite to use their family name to show respect. For example, you might say, ''Hello, Mr. Green'', or you might say ''Hello, sir'', if you don't know the person's name. If you meet friends, you could use ''Hi, mate'' and ''Alright, buddy''. 38._ For example, people may say ''Wow, I like your hair today'' or ''Hey, your dress is very beautiful''. A good conversation will go on. In China, greetings often reflect politeness and respect. When people meet for the first time, they usually greet each other with a warm smile. In more formal situations, people often shake hands to greet each other. Moreover, the choice of words is carefully considered during the greetings. 39._ 40._ In China, if two elderly people meet at a time close to the mealtime, one often asks the other one ''Have you eaten?'' If they meet at other time, ''Are you busy lately?'' is often asked. Understanding these customs helps in cross-cultural communication. 根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺,内容完整,并将其标号填写在下面题号后的横线上。 A.

Let me tell you some of them. Firstly, you are supposed to shake hands when you meet someone for the first time. Secondly, you should bring a small gift when you are invited to a party and be sure to arrive on time or a few minutes earlier. Thirdly, it's impolite to point at others with your chopsticks when you eat meals with others. And you'd better not make noise when you're having soup. I hope the above is helpful.
