Tips for Living in China
1.Dinners
When you are invited to a dinner, you don’t have to eat everything .First, try a little of every dish by putting some on your plate or in rice bowl. You don’t have to eat it, but as a foreign guest (客人),you are supposed to be served first. If you don’t try anything, your host will be embarrassed（尷尬）---and will put it on your plate for you .
2.Bargaining
When you go to open-air markets or personal stores, you need to bargain with the shop assistants. Remember to build a friendly relationship(關(guān)系)first. You are creating a relationship with the businessman ,not a price war. Think of it this way :Shouting ,arguing ,and pointing are not good. Smiling ,being friendly, offering to buy more for a better price is. And don’t be afraid to ask,” Can you offer me a better price?”
3.Chopsticks
Don’t point with them at other people’s faces ,and by all means don’t stick them upright in your rice bowl----that is how the Chinese honor (紀(jì)念)the dead at graves. You should put them beside the plate.
4.Smiling
Chinese smile for more reasons than Americans .A smile can mean the person is embarrassed, trying to be helpful ,curious, happy or friendly .In the middle of an argument ,smiling means that the speaker doesn’t want this to become personal. When all else fails ,smile in China. It shows you have no ill intention (意圖)and can work wonders in getting better service.根據(jù)表格內(nèi)容，從題中所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選擇最佳答案。（10分）

小題3:推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中購物時(shí)的描述Remember to build a friendly relationship(關(guān)系)first. （首先記住建立一種友好關(guān)系）可知此題應(yīng)選C。

As we all know, eating habits are different in different countries. The Chinese have a      . “Eat good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat        at dinner.” Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their       about lunch and dinner are different.
Most Americans only give       a short time for lunch. So they eat a small lunch. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner. Talking about their day with all the family is a great way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work.
Eating at restaurants is also different. In China, people like to talk and laugh while     . Very often you can hear people talking and laughing       , and they are just having a good time. In America it is not like this. If someone is talking too loudly at table, the manager of the restaurant may       and ask them to be quiet. After dinner, it’s thought quite rude if you leave       you finish eating. You are expected to stay and        around the dinner table.
So if you want to be       , there’s an English saying, “When in Rome, do as Romans do.”

(B) What are you going to do if you are in a burning house?
Escaping(逃離) a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save yourself. It is important to know the ways you can use and to show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways (樓梯) and fire escapes, but not lifts（電梯）.
From the lower floors of the building, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of serious injury (傷害).
The second floor windows are usually not very high from the ground. An average (普通的) person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed, or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (滲入) into the room.

Have you ever heard of “flash mob(快閃族)”？
On July 12th,2009,at 5 pm, a lot of fans gathered at People’s Square I Shanhai to complete Michael Jackson’s unfinished dance in one minute.For a total of 60 seconds,they sang and did the moon walk to remember Michael Jackson.
This kind of phenomenon(現(xiàn)象)is called “flash mob”. “flash mob” is a group of people who gather in a public place to perform a strange activity for a short time.Sometimes, all these people are friends,but usually they are strangers who find each other through the Internet or sending short messages using mobile phones.
It’s interesting how “flash mob” activities are planned.Without technology–the Internet or mobile phones,it would be impossible to organize so many people in such a short time.
“flash mob” is very surprising and strange.One of the popular“flash mob” activities was in Manhattan,New York City.Several hundred people gathered in a department store and each of the them told the salesperson that they would buy the style of carpet(地毯)，and the salesperson didn’t know what to do.
小題1:What is “flash mob”?

小題3:Do the members of “flash mob” usually know each other very well?

I think people should do more things online from home.  Why pollute the air by driving your car to the supermarket, when you can order your weekly shopping on the Internet—You can also book holidays as well.            
                                               Posted by Billy on June 1lth 7:36 am
I try to use public transportation whenever I can. I take the bus to college and walk home. When my mum wants to give me a lift, I always refuse, as I can get there quickly by bus. Also the buses in my town are electric so they are environmentally friendly!
                                         Posted by Carol on. June 12th 10:35 am           
Why not use two wheels? Any motorcycle will use less fuel (燃料)than an a car. You don’t get caught in traffic jams either. But in my opinion, the best thing is a bicycle. They don't produce any pollution and help you to keep fit at the same time.
