美文鉴赏学习
I’m excited to share what I learned about British food culture during my time in London.
First, English breakfast is really great.It has crispy bacon, tasty sausages, baked beans,
and toast.Once, I went to a small local café.The smell of bacon filled the air, and everyone
was talking happily while eating this big meal.It’s a perfect way to start the day.
Then there’s afternoon tea.It’s served with scones (司康饼) with cream and jam, small sandwiches, along with a pot of nice⁃smelling tea.I tried it in a traditional tea shop.The quiet place made it feel special.It’s a nice time to relax and chat with friends.
London is like a big mix of different cultures, and you can taste that in the food.For example, there are amazing Indian curries here.I tried a chicken curry in a little restaurant.The rich flavors showed how different cultures come together in Britain.
Pubs (酒馆) are also good places to eat.Pub food like steak and ale pie (啤酒派) is delicious, full of local flavors.
British food culture is a mix of old traditions and new influences.Every dish has a story.I am so happy to try different kinds of food in London.If you ever get the chance, just explore the UK!

Cross-cultural communication is important when we meet people from other countries. Here are some tips to make it better.
First, learn about their culture. For example, in some countries, it’s impolite to ask someone’s age or salary. Second, use body language carefully. A smile is welcome everywhere, but some gestures mean different things. In Thailand, pointing at someone with your finger is rude; you should use your hand instead.
Third, listen actively. Let others finish talking before you speak. This shows respect. Finally, be open-minded. Accept that different cultures have different ways of doing things. Don’t judge others just because their habits are not the same as yours.

A.回答问题
请阅读下面短文,根据所提供的信息,回答5个问题。
In many parts of the world, when children turn a certain age, like 16 or 18, they will have celebrations (庆典) for their coming of age (成年). It is an important time.
In Japan, young people become adults when they turn 20. The country celebrates it on the second Monday in January. The new adults dress up in traditional clothes for it. Then, they go to a special event (公开活动). After all that, the new adults can really celebrate. They take lots of pictures and go to parties with their friends and families.
For the Teochew people (潮汕人) in China, teenagers become adults at 15. Families have a special event for them on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. It’s called Chu Hua Yuan, and it means “leaving the garden”. Before the event, the new adults have to clean their bodies with flower water. That washes bad things away. Then, they put on new clothes and special shoes, and they give thanks to their parents. Lastly, the new adults enjoy a big meal with 12 dishes. For even more luck, they bite (咬) the head of a cooked chicken.
No matter what the tradition is, it really helps the new adults get ready for the next part of their lives. It also helps them learn to be independent (独立的).
13.When will children have celebrations for their coming of age?

14.How many countries are mentioned in the passage?

15.What does “Chu Hua Yuan” mean in China?

参考答案
13.When children turn a certain age like 16 or 18. 14.Two./2./Two countries are mentioned in the passage. 15.It means “leaving the garden”. 16.For even more luck./Because they can get even more luck. 17.It helps the new adults get ready for the next part of their lives and learn to be independent. 18.例文
Being independent
Chu Hua Yuan, meaning “leaving the garden”. It is a special traditional custom in Chaoshan, Guangdong. It is an adult ceremony for 15-year-old teenagers.
This tradition marks that they are growing up and should take more responsibility for themselves. It also carries parents’ warm wishes for their future.
Being independent is really important. If teenagers are independent, they can solve problems by themselves and face challenges bravely. I think this meaningful custom helps us learn to be independent and grow into responsible young people.

A. 回答问题
Akuapem is in the eastern part of Ghana (加纳). The local people are very friendly and hospitable (好客的). Now let's have a look at how Akuapem people receive a visitor.
A family of Akuapem often welcomes a visitor warmly. After welcoming the visitor into the house, the host immediately offers him a seat and water. That's because the host thinks the visitor must have come from a long way and needs water. If there are a group of visitors, the host will greet the visitors from right to left. And the host shakes only with his right hand because Akuapem people think the left hand is not clean.
Next, the visitor is asked how his journey was and why he has come. While the conversation is going on, the wife and the children, especially girls, are preparing food for the visitor. The visitor can choose his favourite food. After the visitor finishes eating, the host and the visitor go on with their conversation. Usually this is a short one because the visitor is getting ready to say “goodbye”.
When the visitor is leaving, the host often sends him off with a gift of some food. One of the children also accompanies (陪伴) him to the nearest station. The child who accompanies the visitor will not come back home until the visitor leaves safely.
Whether he is a close friend or just a stranger, this is always how friendly Akuapem people receive a visitor.
19. What are the local people in Akuapem like?
________________________________________________________________
20. Why does the host offer the visitor water immediately?

21. (创新考法·一般疑问句)Can a visitor choose his favourite food?

Dear Tina,
I'm so happy to get your email! My family and I are very excited about your visit for the Spring Festival. As for the Chinese customs, don't worry because I'm here to help you!
Here are a few simple tips. First, a warm greeting is key. You can say “Happy New Year” with a smile! You can also shake hands with us. Second, it's nice to bring a small gift when visiting a Chinese family.
Fruit is usually a good choice. Besides, it would be better if you arrive on time or a little earlier. When you are at the dinner table, you can try using chopsticks. But don't stick the chopsticks into the rice.
If you're curious about anything else, just ask me. We can't wait to spend this happy festival with you!
Yours,
Zhang Min
