To save yourself from embarrassment (尷尬)， it’s good to read a few books or research online about the culture and customs of the country you plan to visit.
Clothing: Wearing shorts in public is generally not acceptable in most parts of the world, including some European countries.
Greetings: Handshake is a usually accepted form of greeting, although in some countries, like Japan, a traditional bow(鞠躬) is preferred. Be careful how you talk with someone; don’t use first names unless you are invited to do something.
Language/Gestures: learn some polite expressions (hello-goodbye-thank you) and relax. English is pretty common worldwide, especially in tourist areas and you can always use body language to get your message across. However, some Americans gestures have different meanings in other countries. For example, in Bulgaria, shaking your head usually means  “yes”; shaking it “vertically” means “ no”.
Food/Drink: you may find yourself looking down at a local delicious snake soup in china, sheep’s eyes in Saudi Arabia… and wonder what to do; especially you are guests in someone’s home. Be brave, take small bites, and pretend it tastes like something you like. Remember that some Buddhists don’t eat beef, and Muslims don’t eat pork. If you are eating with Muslims, never touch food with left hand (the left hand is for bathroom use).
Conversations: if you know the history and culture of the country, you will be confident. The French are angry at the classic American question: “What do you do for a living?” and so on.
小題1:You should learn about _______ of the country if you want to go to another country.
A．the people and the food
B．the culture and customs
C．the language and people
D．the behavior and conversations
小題2:A Japanese meet you for the first time, he/ she will ________.
A．shake hands with youB．hug with you
C．kiss youD．bow to you
小題3:In Bulgaria, shaking your head usually means______________.
A．yesB．noC．victoryD．calm down
小題4:Which of the following isn’t right?
A．You can’t wear shorts in public in most parts of the world.
B．You can use body language to communicate with people.
C．You can use your left hand to touch food when you eat with Muslims.
D．You can get along well with people you visit if you know their culture and customs well.
              
小題1:B
小題2:D
小題3:A
小題4:C

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child--- things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not do something or being punished for what he has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he worked hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
小題1:What is the happiest person according to the passage?
A．A child who can do whatever he likes.
B．An old person who lives in a comfortable life.
C．A grown-up who no longer expects other to pay for him.
D．A person who never wastes his time in his whole life.
小題2:What pains does a child have?
A．He has few responsibilities to make life difficult.
B．He doesn’t have to do anything in return.
C．He is not so free to do what he wishes to do.
D．He has to work if he wants to live comfortably.
小題3:Which of the following is true, according to the second paragraph?
A．Life for a child is fairly easy.
B．A child is always loved whatever he does.
C．If much is given to a child, he must do something in return.
D．Only children are interested in life.
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Life is not enjoyable since each age had some pains.
B．Young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard.
C．Childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life.
D．One is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life.
小題5:What will the fourth paragraph most probably discuss following this passage?
A．Examples of successful young men.
B．How to build up one’s position in society.
C．Joys and pains of old people.
D．What to do when one has problems in life.
