smile at three people and write down their reactions. i am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. so, i thought this would be a piece of cake.my husband, the youngest son and i went out to mcdonald. we were standing in line when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away. as i turned around, an unpleasant body smell came to my nose and two poor homeless men stood just behind me. as i looked at the short blue-eyed gentleman closest to me, he was “smiling”. the second man fumbled（摸索）with his hands as he stood behind his friend.the young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. he said, “coffee is all, miss,” because that was all they could afford.then i really felt it i embraced（拥抱）the little man with the blue eyes. that is when i noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. i smiled and asked two more breakfast meals and gave them to the men.the blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “thank you.”i turned in my project. my teacher said, “can i share this?” i slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. she began to read and that is when i knew that we as human beings share this need to make people happy and to be made happy.in my own way i had touched the people at mcdonalds and every soul that heard the story in the classroom. but, i graduated with

language is one of the most important aims of a newcomer to another country. in addition, understanding the culture and learning to communicate comfortably with people of that culture are as important as learning the rules of the language. language learning and culture learning go together and may take a long time.sometimes people feel that they understand a culture after a few weeks or months. people do learn a lot when they first begin living in another culture, but this is only the first stage of learning. it usually includes things like learning everyday activities and some basic customs.to really understand another culture, people have to go beyond the first stage, this is challenge because it is often difficult to know what to learn. much of what we call “culture” is hard to see.culture is like an iceberg（冰山）. picture in your mind a huge iceberg in the ocean. the only part of the iceberg that you see is the top. you dont see the rest of the iceberg because it is hidden from sight in the water. it is easy to forget that it is there. most of the iceberg is deep within the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep within its people.when you meet someone from another culture，certain culture differences are easy to see: you hear another language or you hear your own language spoken with an accent(口音). you see different foods, clothes and sometimes physical characteristics of people. you notice new customs or habits, such as the use of chopsticks, and, bowing or kissing as a way of saying hello. these differences are interesting and important, but they are usually not too difficult to understand. they are visible so they are seen easily and quickly.the part of culture that is like the underwater part of the iceberg consists of assumptions(设想), communication styles, values, and beliefs about what is right and wrong. the hidden part of culture affects much of a persons way of thinking and communicating. it is the meaning behind his or her verbal (言语的) and nonverbal language. learning to communicate well with people from another culture includes getting to know the hidden part of culture.61. whats the subject of this passage? a. learning about culture. b. language learning. c. the hidden part of the iceberg. d. fluency in another language.62. what is learning about culture? a. learning the hidden part of the iceberg, which is underwater. b. learning everyday activities and some basic customs. c. learning the culture of an iceberg. d. learning the visible as well as the hidden differences of culture.63. whats the writers opinion? a. communication styles can be easily seen and learned. b. language learning is more important than culture learning. c. learning about culture is not easy and may take a long time. d. people usually learn a culture after a few weeks or months.64. the underlined phrase “consists of” can be replaced by “_”. a. is compared with b. is made up of c. agrees with d. is different from65. what conclusion can we draw after reading this passage? a. values and beliefs are like the top of the iceberg. b. people are often clear about the hidden part of culture. c. the top of the iceberg is larger than the hidden part. d. the hidden part of culture has a great effect on peoples communication styles.cpeople people is americas no.1 magazine about fascinating people. its a guide to who and
