If you travel around the world, you will be surprised to find that some foreign customs can be so different from your own.

A visitor to India would remember that people there think it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is used for washing yourself. Also in India, 'when you see a man shaking his head, you may think he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a shake of the head shows agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to say "yes'--a nod means "no". The Arabs are famous for their hospitality(好客). At a meal in the Arabic countries, you will find that any drinking vessel(器皿) is filled again and again as soon as you drain it. The way to show that you have had enough is to take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.

In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting.　 Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could make him or her unhappy. It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand you are not supposed to touch the head of an adult-- it's just not done. In Japan, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainment for themselves and leave their wives at home. In Europe such attitudes are disappearing.

Customs differ from country to country. Visitors may be at a loss as to what to do in a foreign environment. Remember the rule: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

1.In which country a left-hand is not welcomed?

A. Thailand.　　 B. India.　　 C. Japan.　　 D. Bulgaria.

2.In many parts of India, if someone shakes his head at another, it shows that he

Even if you are a good high jumper, you can jump only about seven feet off the ground. You cannot jump any higher because the earth pulls you hard. The pull of the earth is called gravity. You can easily find out the pull of the earth. If you weigh yourself, you will know how much gravity is pulling you.

Since there is gravity, water runs down hill. When you throw a ball into the air, it falls back down. Because of gravity, you do not fall off the earth as it whirls (旋转) around.

Then, can we get away from the earth and go far out into space? Now you can do it, because spaceships have been invented. Then spaceship will go so fast that it can escape the earth's gravity and carry you into space.

1.If you are a good high jumper, you can jump far higher than seven feet high.

2.You can know how much gravity is pulling you by weighing yourself.

3.Because of gravity, the water runs up hill and the balls back if you throw it into the air.

4.We can escape the earth's gravity by spaceship because it can travel very fast.

5.The Chinese meaning of "gravity" is "重力".

Many people love travelling to different countries, but if you plan to go abroad, you should know how to behave in different situations around the world.

Most travellers enjoy meeting new people, but sometimes you can be rude without saying anything. In Russia, you should never shake hands in a doorway, and if you're travelling in Thailand, never touch people's heads or point your feet at people. When the Japanese meet new people, they like giving business cards—but you should read the card carefully, not just put it in your pocket.

In most countries in Europe, people expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them, but in many Asian countries, a lot of eye contact seems unfriendly. And in South America, people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk, but in countries like the USA, you need to give people more personal space. Also, it's rude to interrupt Japanese people while they are talking to you. You must wait until they finish before you start speaking.

In restaurants in China, you can leave a bit of food on your plate. It's OK to start smoking before other people finish eating, which you mustn't do in the UK. When in India, remember to eat with your right hand. Also avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia—that's bad luck.

When you're travelling in Asia, if someone invites you to his or her home, don't forget to take off your shoes when you arrive. And if you visit an Arab family's home, don't admire anything valuable because your host will feel he should give it to you as a present.

With so much to think about, it's not surprising that many people prefer going on holiday in their own countries—or you might just decide to stay at home!

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.We can admire anything valuable in an Arab family's home.

B.In China, people cannot smoke before other people finish eating.

C.In Russia, it's impolite to shake hands with people in a doorway.

D.In the USA, people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk.

2.What will the people in the USA feel when someone stand close to them when talking?

A.Unfriendly B.Friendly.

C.Happy. D.Polite.

3.What does the underlined word “interrupt” mean in Chinese?

A.跟随 B.打断 C.附和 D.强调

4.What is the correct order of the title from Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 5?

a. Eating out

b. In the home

c. Body language

d. Face to face communication

A.bcda B.dabc C.cdab D.abcd

5.What's the best title for the text?

A.Culture shock B.Table manners

C.Public rules D.Travelling plans

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.

Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.

In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.

Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier.“ The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.

Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything.” He said, “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task.” “I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”

The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”

1.Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?

A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.

B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.

C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.

D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.

2.Traveling alone is challenging because________________ .

A. you have to make things on your own

B. it is hard for you to prove yourself to others

C. you can only depend on yourself whatever happens

D. it will finally build your character

3.What can we infer about Chris Richardson?

A. He started traveling alone at an early age.

B. He was once shot in the arm.

C. He used to work as a salesman.

D. His website encourages others a lot.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Travel Abroad          B. Travel alone　　　　

C. Travel Light           D. Travel Wide and Far
