When I was leaving to meet Lynne, my friend Tony told me that I’d better take some money. But I didn't listen to him. I thought Lynne would pay because she had invited me. I arrived at the restaurant on time. I know Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table and a waiter brought us some delicious food.
The dinner was a great success. We talked a lot while eating. After two hours, the waiter finally came and asked if we wanted one check (账单)or two, Lyrme said two. We went to the cashier and Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I said,“Oh! I forgot my wallet! Can I call my friend, please?" The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called Tony. In a few minutes, he arrived with some money, and paid my check. He laughed at me all the way home. Now, I think it's funny too, but at that time I was very embarrassed. I thought an invitation to have dinner in America meant the same thing as that in China. Now 1 think you have to understand thai your customs are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their customs, too. They can be quite different.

When I was young, my parents always told me that I should never talk to strangers. They told me I should never take food or candy from strangers, never get in a car with strangers, and so on.
But how could we make new friends if we were like that. We'd never get a job. We would never have the joy coming from talking with strangers.
And then, how can we break the ice?
Don't just look at your shoes. Go and say “Hi” to the person before you. It will be easier to break the ice if you know more about different cultures.
British: Beautiful day, isn't it?
The weather in Britain changes often. So, people often talk about it. Remember to say “yes” when others say this to you. It's just a start of a friendly talk, not a real question.
French: Where did you go on holiday?
To talk with a French person, the safest way is to ask his or her last holiday. French students enjoy a holiday for 10 to 15 days every two months. French employees(员工) get more than six weeks of holidays every year.
American: So, where are you from?
The US is so big and people move so often. You can try to find something to talk about with the place they're from. For example, you could say,“Oh, I have a friend studying in your city.”

It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas was nearer, her dream for a bicycle seemed to fade (消退). We bought her a lovely doll, and a doll house. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that “I really want a bike more than anything else.”
It was just too late. With such a lot of preparations to do for the Christmas dinner, we did not have the time to buy our little girl a bike. On Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, were sleeping in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the sadness of our child. “What if I make a little bicycle out of clay (泥) and write a note that she could exchange the clay bike for a real bike?” her dad asked. So he spent the next four hours making a small clay bike.
On Christmas morning, we were excited to wait for Almie to open the little gift box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. “Does this mean that I can exchange this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?” I said, “Yes.” Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never exchange this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I want to keep this instead of getting a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth (竭尽全力) to buy her every bicycle in the world.

A.The parents wanted the girl to have the clay bike forever.
B.Tears were in the girl’s eyes because she didn’t like the present at all.

A.He didn’t want to make his daughter sad. B.He wanted to buy a real one, but had no money.
