Passage B（进阶 ★★ A Lesson from My Foreign Deskmate）
Last term, we had a Canadian girl called Anna as my deskmate. At first, I made a big cultural mistake.
When I had dinner with her family, I finished all food on my plate. I thought it showed I liked the meal. But Anna’s mom looked unhappy. Later Anna told me in Canada, leaving a little food means you are full and you thank the host. Empty plates mean the host didn’t prepare enough food.
I felt sorry for my rudeness. This small thing taught me a valuable lesson: Different countries have different customs. Before we visit foreign friends, we’d better learn their traditions to show our respect.

Passage C（拔高 ★★★ Teen Ideas on Cultural Differences 难度提升）
A survey of 470 Grade Eight students from China and the UK collects their ideas about cross-cultural communication.
For most Chinese students, they care much about table manners and greeting ways. About 65% of them bow or nod to show respect to elders. When eating, they never stick chopsticks upright in rice, because it is seen as bad luck. Only 24% have ever taken part in foreign culture activities at school.
For British teens, handshakes and eye contact are basic polite manners. Over 70% think it normal to talk freely at dinner tables. They seldom use chopsticks, so they don’t know Chinese table taboos. More than half join international sharing lessons every term.
Culture teachers say crossing cultures doesn’t mean changing our own traditions. We can keep our culture while learning and respecting foreign ones.
