One interesting thing was that people there love using their 17 when eating, instead of chopsticks or forks. We found it 18 at first, but after some practice, we got used to it.

三、阅读理解
根据短文内容,判断下列句子正(T)、误(F)。
Are you still doing the “V” for victory sign? It’s out. The latest popular hand gesture(手势)is putting both your hands together to make a heart shape. It is called a “hand heart”.
Many young pop stars in the USA do this in their photos. “The ‘hand heart’ gesture means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you’,” said Taylor Swift, the country singer, “You can send a sweet and simple message without saying a word.” Swift often does it at her concerts. And some people think she makes this gesture popular.
Justin Bieber and his superstar friends did the “hand heart” and put the photos online. They did it to help out three children, whose parents died from a car accident.
In some Asian countries, the “hand heart” is popular too, but in a different way. People there put their hands above their heads and make a bigger heart shape with their arms. It means “I love you”.
21.It’s out to do the “V” for victory sign.
22.The “hand heart” gesture means “I don’t love you”.
23.No one can express one’s love without saying a word.
24.Some superstars did the “hand heart” to help out three children.
25.In some Asian countries, the “hand heart” is popular too in the same way.

Last month, I went to France with my family. I was excited but also a little nervous because I knew little about French customs. I didn’t want to make mistakes.
On the first day, we went to a French restaurant for dinner. When I sat down, I wanted to use my chopsticks, but my father stopped me. He told me that people in France use knives and forks. He also told me not to put my elbows on the table when I was eating.
At that moment, I felt very embarrassed. I decided to learn more about the rules there. When we met new people, I learned to shake hands with them and greet them politely. I tried not to talk too loudly or laugh too much in public.

C篇
Culture shock is something many people experience when they visit a new country. It happens because the new culture is very different from their own. These differences can be surprising, confusing, or even embarrassing at first.
For example, personal space means different things in different cultures. In Germany, people usually like to have more space around them. They don’t stand too close to someone unless they know them very well. But in Peru, people are comfortable standing closer to others, even strangers. This can be surprising for someone from Germany.
Greetings are another area where cultures differ. In Japan, people bow as soon as they meet someone. The bow shows respect. In the US, people usually just say “hello” or shake hands. In France, it’s common to kiss on the cheek when greeting friends and family.
Table manners also vary widely. In China, it’s rude to stick chopsticks into a bowl of rice because it reminds people of funeral rituals. In Mexico, it’s polite to use someone’s first name only if they invite you to do so.
Although these differences can be surprising at first, they are also interesting to learn about. Once you understand them, you may become more curious and interested in the new culture. Learning about cultural differences helps us respect and appreciate other ways of life.
