Traditions are different from culture to culture. Something that sounds rude in one country may be the most polite thing to do in another. Here lists some of them.

Spitting

People think spitting on or at someone is one of the worst behaviors, and the police even consider it is a kind of attack. But in Africa, the members of the Maasai have a different way of seeing things. When polite children pass by, their elders usually spit at them. Of course, they do this with best wishes. They wish children to live a long life. They also spit on any gift they are about to give. When they move into a new house, they first go outside and spit in the four directions.

Flowers

Flowers are usually sent when people have parties, visit friends, thank others and so on. But sometimes it’s rude to give flowers. In Germany and France people use carnations(康乃馨)to decorate tombs(墓碑). Yellow flowers represent hate in Russian

and Iran, and purple flowers are bad luck in Italy and Brazil. Even the number of flowers can be rude. In France and America, an even(偶数) number of flowers is for happiness and odd numbers are for sadness.

Cleaning your plate

When we were young, our parents always told us to clean our plate and not to waste food. However, in some countries, a clean plate may make trouble for the host. In Philippines, North Africa, and some areas of China, the host will put more food on a plate once it is clean. Only when a guest leaves a little bit of food on his plate, the host will think he is full. Or a clean plate means the gust doesn’t get good service.

To do the right thing when we are in other places, we’d better respect and follow the traditions, even though we think they are strange.

1.Spitting in Maasai is partly the same as____ in China.

A. being given a red envelop by the elder

B. crossing the road in Chinese style

C. writing one’s own name on the Great Wall

2.Which of the following facts is TURE?

A. People in France can bring 9 carnations when they attend a funeral

B. Young people in Iran often buy their lovers yellow roses

C. Friends will send each other purple flowers before exams in Italy.

3.In North Africa, a clean plate means_______.

A. the guests really enjoy the food

B. the guests don’t want anything more

C. the guests are not full

4.What is the right attitude towards cultural differences?

A. Where there is a will, there is a way

B. Seeing is believing

C. Do as the Romans do

5.The passage mainly talks about________

A. different countries

B. different traditions

C. Foreign peoples

Have you ever tried to hide your feelings from someone during a conversation?

1.

Scientists from the Ohio State University have found that people are able to tell other people’s feelings according to changes in the colour of their faces. Scientists studied pictures　 of people’s facial expressions.2.For example, happiness makes our faces a little red. Disgust (厌恶) creates not only a blue-yellow colour, but also a red-green colour on our faces.

“We believe these colour changes are the result of small changes in blood.” 3.Does the colour alone help people tell others’ feelings?

To figure this out, scientists added colour changes to pictures of faces. 4.They were able to tell the feelings 75% of the time without any difficulty.

This is why there are some Chinese sayings that connect feelings to the colour of one’s face.5.When a person is very angry, we’d say he or she is blue in the face.

根据短文内容，将下面方框内的句子还原到文中空白处，使短文内容完整、通顺（每个选项只能用一次）。

A.But this raises a question.

B.They found that every facial expression is connected to a certain colour.

C.It’s not always easy, because the colours on your face may tell the truth.

D.Then, volunteers were asked to tell what feelings the faces were showing.

E.For example, when two people are arguing over something, we say they are red in the face.
