Job interviews can be very different from country to country. An interviewer's "body language" and questions, and the form of an interview are not the same around the world.

In the US and some other countries, interviewers aren't supposed to ask questions about family and personal information.In most countries, however, personal questions are very common during job interviews.

In Germany, your interview might begin with a very short conversation followed by a formal (正式的)　 interview. In Mexico and many other countries, the whole interview might not be formal.

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

What might life be like if you looked very different from others? Most of us are lucky to be born with “normal” faces. But the movie Wonder (《奇迹男孩》) shows us that there is no such things as being normal and that beauty is more than skin-deep.

Based on a bestselling novel, the movie is about a boy named Auggie. He has a facial deformity (面部畸形).　 He has spent most of his life being home-schooled. But as he enters middle school, his parents decide to send him to a private school. There, Auggie must deal with some unfriendly classmates and learn to accept himself as he is.

In the United States, most kids are taught that it is OK to be different. People don’t look down upon being special. But some kids have difficulty accepting this. It is easy to play tricks on someone who is different, especially if you have your own problems to deal with. This is another central theme from the movie ----　 even the kids who laugh at Auggie have their own personal struggles.

As Auggie’s classmates get know him better, they come to find that he’s a nice kid with a great sense of humor. They start to change their attitude to him. In real life, it may take longer to see such changes happen. But if we give people a chance, their hearts and minds may change in the end.

1.Which is NOT true about Auggie according to the writer?

A. He has a facial deformity.
