Please have more.” Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl.

　　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 the business card, 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 (接触) 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 U.K.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 (赞美) 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 home.
(　)61.What does the underlined word “interrupt” mean
A.Repeat. B.Jump in. C.Follow. D.Fight against.
(　)62.What is the correct order of the subheadings (小标题) from Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 5
①Eating out ②In the home
③Body language ④Face-to-face communication
A.②③④① B.④①②③ C.③④①② D.③④②①
(　)63.Which of the following 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.We can stand quite close to American people when we talk.
(　)64.Which saying could best help us find out the writer’s purpose
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
C.Where there is a will, there is a way.
D.Seeing is believing.
(　)65.What’s the best title for the passage
A.Culture Shock B.Table Manners
C.Public Rules D.Different Countries
Ⅸ.任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
　　Nowadays, more and more people go to different countries for exchanging and learning.In fact, there are cultural differences between Chinese and Western cultures.As learners, we need to know them.In this way, we can learn the second language well and make fewer mistakes.
　　First, Western people express themselves directly, while Chinese are completely different.When Chinese people get angry, most of them will say nothing.When a Chinese acts like this in front of a foreigner, the foreigner will have no idea about how the Chinese feels.And the foreigner just treats the Chinese as if nothing happened.So if you are unsatisfied with a foreigner, just speak it out.Don’t hide your feelings, because he or she doesn’t like or can’t understand your thoughts.
　　Second, the value about things is different between Chinese and Western people.We Chinese seem to be more worried about tomorrow since ancient times.For example, we prefer to save money while Western people like to spend tomorrow’s money.They believe that they should enjoy this moment and tomorrow is another thing.So they often enjoy everything they have now, having no clear plans for the future.
　　But remember, there is no judgement (评判) about which one is better.We need to know the differences at first. And learn to understand each other.What we need to do is to respect each other’s culture and get along with each other peacefully.
