One day in elementary schl, smething ccurred t me. A friend asked me “What are yu eating?” as she glanced at my lunchbx. “It smells,” she said, her nse crinkling(起皱).
I was eating bhindi rti, my favrite Indian snack, which my mm had packed fr me. But feeling embarrassed fr having a “smelly” lunch and wanting t escape, I quietly shut my lunchbx. That day, I went hungry.
Mst days after that, lunchtime at schl felt like a battle. If I wasn't trying t hide my lunch r bite secretly when n ne was lking, I'd insist n bringing in the same peanut butter and jelly sandwich as the ther kids. My mm, wh didn't grw up eating American fd like chips, tried her best, but the sandwiches never lked r tasted as gd as the fd I enjyed at hme.
I didn't knw that I wasn't alne. Many kids with immigrant parents encunter(遭遇) what's knwn as “the lunchbx mment” at schl: the experience f being judged fr bringing in fd cnsidered culturally diverse and s being made t feel like an utsider.
Fr this article, I talked with kids wh culd relate. But they als surprised me: They dealt with “the lunchbx mment” differently than I did. Fr example, Satya Singh, 6, wh takes her mm's Indian cking t lunch mst days, tld me that ne day a classmate said that her al, r ptates, lked like pp. Anther time, smene said that the dal, r lentils, lked like puke. The next day, Satya brught enugh dal t share with her entire class—and they lved it. “Frm then n”, she says, “my teacher at schl made a rule: Dn't yuck smene's yum.”
Lking back, I wish I'd had the wisdm f Satya and ffered my friend a bite f my lunch, r just tld her it was delicius—especially because nw, as an adult, I see that Indian fd is universally accepted and lved by my friends. Sme even try t ck Indian lentils r chickpeas at hme! And when I'm hungry, guess what? I miss my mm's bhindi rti and her care in making it fr me. Fd is an expressin f culture, traditin, family and lve. And that's smething t celebrate, nt hide.

Specialists(专家) say that it is nt easy t get used t life in a new culture. “Culture shck” ccurs when they are talking abut the feelings that peple have in a new envirnment. The specialists say that there are three stages f culture shck. In the first stage, the newcmers like their new envirnment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin t hate the city, the cuntry, the peple, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcmers begin t get used t their surrundings and, as a result, enjy their life mre.
There are sme evident factrs in culture shck. The weather may be unpleasant. The custms may be diverse. The public service systems—the telephne services, the Pst Office, r the transprtatin—may be difficult t wrk ut. The simplest things seem t be the biggest prblems. The language may be difficult.
Wh feels culture shck? Everyne des in this r that way. But culture shck surprises mst peple. Very ften the peple having the wrst culture shck are thse wh never had any difficulties in their wn cuntry. Cming t a new cuntry, these peple find they d nt have the same psitins as they had back hme. They find themselves withut any identity. They have t build a new self-image.
Culture shck gives rise t a feeling f helplessness. This feeling may be hmesickness. When hmesick, peple feel like staying inside all the time. They want t prtect themselves frm the strange envirnment, and create an escape inside their rm fr a sense f security(安全). This escape des slve the prblem f culture shck fr a shrt time, but it des nthing t make the persn familiar with the culture. Getting t knw the new envirnment and gaining experience are the lng-term slutins t the prblem f culture shck.
8.What culd happen when peple mve t a new cuntry?
A.They may get used t their new surrundings with difficulty.
B.They may have well prepared fr the new surrundings.
C.They may get used t the culture f the cuntry quickly.
D.They may never be familiar with the culture f the cuntry.
9.Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing factrs desn't give rise t culture shck?
A.The language. B.The weather cnditins and custms.
C.The public service systems. D.The hmesickness.
10.Accrding t the passage, wh have the wrst culture shck?
A.Peple wh are nt successful at hme. B.Peple wh are very successful at hme.
C.Peple wh earn much mney abrad. D.Peple wh are famus abrad.
11.Accrding t the writer, what is the best way t vercme culture shck?
A.T prtect urselves frm the unfamiliar envirnment.
B.T develp a strange sense f self-prtectin.
C.T get familiar with the new culture.
D.T return t ur wn cuntry.
D
One thing that sets humans apart frm ther members f the animal kingdm is ur tendency t develp custms and traditins. Here are sme diverse custms frm arund the wrld.
An dd custm assciated with the United States is its cmplicated tipping culture. Unlike many ther cuntries that dn't tip at all r that nly tip in small amunts when the fd is particularly gd, tipping is actually mandatry at mst restaurants in the US. In ther wrds, custmers have a duty t leave between 10 and 20 percent f the bill as a tip. Waitstaff rely n these tips earning a living because legal wages fr waiters are lw. Furthermre, there are rules fr tipping bartenders(酒吧侍者), delivery peple and ther service persnnel. While sme criticize this practice fr being unreasnable, there's n dubt that tipping culture in the US encurages waiters and waitresses t prvide better service.
Sme cuntries find the act f pinting with the index finger(食指) t be rude. While members f mst cultures wuld prbably agree that pinting with fingers, bth literally and figuratively, isn't exactly the mildest thing in the wrld, in cuntries like Malaysia and Indnesia, this gesture can be seen as incredibly ffensive. Instead, it is cmmn t gesture twards things with the thumb as this is seen as a mre plite ptin. In many cuntries in Africa, pinting is reserved fr bjects that have n life nly, nt peple.
Mst scieties arund the wrld have rules abut table manners. Fr Western culture, nisily cnsuming fd is cnsidered rude. In Japan, hwever, making slurping(啧啧响的)sunds while eating has an entirely different meaning. This might have smething t d with the fact that in Western cuntries, ndles are prperly cnsumed by twirling(缠绕) them arund the frk befre putting them in the muth. Meanwhile, the Japanese simply slurp their ndles withut twirling them first, an act that is naturally nisier than the frmer. Making slurping sunds when eating ndles in Japan is a way f indicating that yu're really enjying them. Sme scientists even argue that slurping invites air int the muth and actually enhances the ndles' flavr.
12.What des the underlined wrd “mandatry” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A.Required by traditin. B.Highly spken f.
C.Changeable ver time. D.Ppular amng peple.
13.What des the authr think f tipping?
A.It is ttally unreasnableB.It must fllw a fixed standard.
C.It can imprve the quality f service. D.It shuld nly target waiters and waitresses.
14.Which practice is acceptable accrding t the text?
A.Skipping tipping in the USA. B.Twirling ndles arund the frk in Africa.
C.Pinting with the index finger in Indnesia. D.Making sunds while eating ndles in Japan.
15.Where is this text prbably taken frm?
A.A research paper. B.A ppular magazine.
C.A travel brchure. D.An nline advertisement.

Culture ften refers t things like fd, hlidays, clthing, and music, but it als ges much deeper than thse. 16 S when we meet peple frm diverse backgrunds, we can smetimes find that there are big differences in hw we see the wrld, even if we speak the same language.
One f the best ways t understand thers' cultures is t first examine yur wn. D yu take yur shes ff when yu g inside? 17 In Japan, yu wuld never g inside withut swapping yur utdr shes fr slippers, whereas in the US, many peple dn't bther taking their shes ff when they cme in. Therefre, it's s imprtant t understand yur place in the wrld, which will help yu better understand ther peple t.
18 When yu meet peple frm a different culture, yu can plitely ask them abut their lives. Seek ut sme bks r watch sme mvies by and abut peple wh're different frm yu. Additinally, yu can immerse(沉浸在) yurself in a different culture thrugh travel t understand hw different ther lifestyles can be.
Hwever, smetimes, learning a lt abut a different culture can lead yu int a trap. Yu may think yu knw much abut a culture, which may lead yu t shw ff yur knwledge when yu meet smene frm that backgrund. But it's a prblem t assume that everyne frm ne particular culture has the same attitudes and experiences. Yur assumptins that lead yu t prejudge thers can be harmful. 19
Differences between us are what make life s interesting. S accept the differences between yurself and yur friends frm different cultures. 20 In detail, ask questins if yur friends are pen t it, but als learn hw t just silently bserve and appreciate the differences that make us unique.

It is n secret that China has an incredibly rich, cmplex and ancient histry and culture. My first 36 (expse) t Chinese culture ccurred ttally by chance. At 8, I walked int a bkshp and picked a bk frm ne f the 37 (shelf). Nevertheless, the bk turned ut t be “Ta Te Ching”, a deeply philsphical bk f Taism. The bk's cntent was 38 (bvius) lst n me, but it prvided me with an early cnnectin t a prfund philsphical traditin by 39 I am still influenced tday. At schl I began studying Chinese. My interest in the language develped afterwards, 40 (cmbine) my lve f travelling with my lve f meeting new peple.
Culture and fd are clsely cnnected and perhaps nwhere else can this be seen mre clearly 41 in China. In recent years there 42 (be) a rise in restaurants ffering a variety f fd here. I have intrduced many f my friends t Chinese histry and culture thrugh a 43 (share) lve f fd.

The sun was shining in Utrecht, the Netherlands, when my friend Rini and I set ff fr England by car. We lve classic cars and were ging n a tur f used car dealerships in search f an ld Jaguar(捷豹车). Aged 19 and 20, we were full f the spirit f adventure.
It was s mild when we arrived in Kent that ccasinally we wuld stp t sunbathe. We had n luck in finding a Jaguar in the sutheast s we decided t head farther nrth. We didn't check the frecast n ur way t Cumbria.
As we drve, the weather gt clder and wilder. Snw was falling and wind was blwing as we reached the Yrkshire Dales. We struggled n until the strm became s heavy that we culdn't see where we were ging; the car barely mved. With n chance f ging anywhere, we waited fr the strm t pass. It was bitterly cld. Our summer sleeping bags ffered little prtectin, and nr did ur thin jackets. The cld slwed ur senses, until it was all we felt.
The next mrning, the car was buried in snw. Everything was dark. Panic set in. Staying in the car wuld kill us. We managed t get ut, trying t find a farm we'd passed, but it was hpeless. The strm changed everything. The sky and the rad were indistinguishable. Rini was fading. I kept him ging, with whatever wrked. Finally, we stpped at a barn(谷仓). I felt ready t die. At that mment, I heard what sunded like a dg bark. Then a figure came twards us. “Are yu bth crazy? Out fr a walk in this weather?” the man shuted.
The man, Cliffrd Harker, tld us he wned the farm we had passed. He was ut with his dg, leading his sheep t safety. He tld us he lived a 10-minute walk away, s we fllwed, battling against the strm. Ten minutes passed, and there was nthing in sight. “Hw much lnger?” we begged. “Ten mre minutes,” he replied.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
After what seemed like a lifetime, we saw lights in the distance.






We went back t visit Cliffrd's family n New Year's Day, laded with presents.
