Last year, I had a chance to visit Shenyang and experienced one shared bike for the first time.

When I was downloading the Mobike’s app, a man rode one past me. I admired him so much. After downloading it, I began to look for a Mobike on my way to the hotel.

To my disappointment, the only Mobike in the busy street was broken. Suddenly, one near the bank caught my attention. I ran to it immediately, but was again disappointed to find that its QR code was broken. But everything comes to those who wait. Finally, I found my Mobike in a narrow street.

“Crack!” The bike unlocked, and I began to enjoy my riding. I could feel the air passing me on both sides. Although it was autumn, the wind was warm and gentle.

But at the same time, I saw so many shared bikes were broken. Some lost their seats, and others had broken locks. Shared bikes provide a lot of convenience, so it’s important for us to take good care of them and keep the in good condition. I hope everyone can work together to create a civilized and harmonious society.

Many years ago, I had my first chance to visit Russia. “Russians are a very polite people,” I had been told before my arrival. One of my friends explained that a gentleman will pour the lemonade(柠檬水) for the ladies and show other good manners.

Toward the end of my three-week trip, I was invited by my Russian friend Nicolai Vasilevich and his wife Yulya out to dinner. At the end of a wonderful meal, Yulya asked if I would like a banana. I politely declined (婉谢) and thanked her, and explained I was most satisfied（满意的） with the meal. But my mind was racing: “What should I do? Should I offer her a banana though they are as close to her as they are to me? What is the polite thing to do?”

“Would you like a banana?” I asked Yulya.

“Yes,” she smiled, but didn’t try to take any of the three bananas in the fruit basket.

“Which one would you like?” I asked again.

“That one,” she pointed at one of the bananas. So thinking about Russian politeness, I picked the banana Yulya had pointed at. Then I peeled it half way and handed it to her.　 Smiles on Yulya’s and Nicolai’s faces told me I had done the right thing. After this experience, I spent much time letting the world know that in Russia, the polite thing was to peel bananas for ladies.

However, sometime during my third trip I learned I was wrong.

“Oh no, David,” a Russian politely corrected me. “In Russia, when a man peels a banana for a lady, it means he has a romantic（浪漫的）interest in her. ” How embarrassed (尴尬) I felt.

So to communicate properly with people of different cultures, we should watch carefully how people of the same culture communicate with each other. Besides, don’t be afraid to ask questions about their culture.

1.Before his first visit to Russia, the writer learned Russian gentlemen are polite to ___.

A. foreigners　　　　 B. strangers

C. friends　　　　 　 D. women

2.The underlined word “peeled” in paragraph 6 means “_______”.

A. took the skin off something

B. put something back

C. made something clean

D. cut something in two

3.Which of the following seems to be true according to the passage?

A. The writer’s third trip lasted about three weeks.

B. Russian gentlemen never peel bananas for ladies.

C. The writer tried to follow Russians’ behavior in Russia.

D. Yulya was pleased with the writer’s behavior but Nicolai wasn’t.

4.The writer wrote the passage mainly to ______.

A. show us how polite Russian people are

B. tell us his funny experience in Russia

C. ask us to care about cultural differences

D. remind us what we should do in Russia

My sister’s ten-year-old son came for a visit at the weekend one hot July. And I had to make him stay inside by joining him in a game. An hour later, I suggested that we relax a while. He slipped out of the room and I was catching a few moments of peace and quiet.

“Look, Alice,” he said happily as he ran over to the chair where I was having a rest. “I found a kite. Could we go outside and fly it?”

Looking out a nearby window, I noticed there was not a breeze (微风) at all. “I’m sorry, Tripper,” I said, sad to see his blue eyes. “The wind is not blowing today. The kite won’t fly.”

“ I think it’s windy enough. I can get it to fly.” He answered, as he hurried out of the back door. Up and down the yard he ran, pulling the kite with a small length of string (绳子). The plastic kite proudly had a picture of Batman. He ran as hard as his ten-year-old legs would carry him, looking back hopefully at the kite. After about ten minutes, he came back in.

I asked, “How did it go?” “Fine,” he said, not wanting to admit (承认) defeat. “I got it to fly some.” As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf, I heard him say under his breath, “I guess I’ll have to wait for the wind.”

At that moment I heard another voice speak to my heart, “Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the wind.”

And the voice was right. We wait for the wind only after we have done all we can. We must learn how to depend on it in the first place！

Our children and grandchildren may not have a chance to visit many of the most famous places around the world. War, weather, age, traffic and pollution damage (破坏) these famous places. If we do nothing, they may even no longer remain. But looking after these places often costs more than one country can afford.

In the early 1970s, world governments decided that if they joined together, they would be able to preserve (保护) our history. If every country paid some money, they said, it would be possible to look after important historic places. For this reason, countries around the world united to form the World Heritage Organization in 1972. Today, the organization helps to protect and rebuild the most important places from our history.

However, one of the biggest problems for historic places is vandalism. That is to say, people sometimes enter these places and damage the buildings. At some places, such as Stonehenge in England, governments have built high fences to protect it from vandals.

There are many different ideas about how to solve the problem of vandalism. Some professors say that if guards keep walking around these places, vandals won’t be able to get in. Some professors say that if they fix more television cameras, they won’t need so many guards. Others say that the best way is education. If people learn to respect history, they won’t damage it.
