Marie：嗨Ji-Hoon，很高兴见到你……哎呀，别这么不好意思嘛！

Ji-Hoon：这太让人难为情了！在韩国文化里，我们通常只亲吻自己爱的人。

Marie：在法国，我们亲吻朋友的脸颊是为了打招呼呀！SectionA,2band2cElla:

Peter：是啊，我特别期待！你去年去过那儿对吧？能给我讲讲当地习俗吗？

Ella：当然！首先，他们有特别的问候方式——双手合十，微微鞠躬，说"合十礼"。

Peter：哇！我会记住的。

Ella：其次，吃饭时只能使用右手。

Peter：用刀叉吗？

Ella：嗯，人们可能根本不用刀叉，很多时候直接用手吃饭。

Peter：明白了！还有其他要注意的吗？

Emma：有！印度人常吃很多咖喱。我在那儿吃过咖喱鸡，特别美味！但别指望能吃到牛肉。牛在印度是受保护的动物，对很多人来说很神圣。

Ella：它们甚至能随意走动！我们在那儿时，有头牛径直走到我们车前！它走得特别慢，我们只好减速跟着它！SectionA3aSam: What'swrong,Hongli?

Hongli: Thanks,Iwill!山姆：你怎么了，宏利？宏利：今晚要去朋友家吃饭，但英国的餐桌礼仪实在让人摸不着头脑，我有点担心。山姆：我是伦敦人，有什么尽管问我！宏利：谢谢！首先，我要带点东西吗？山姆：要带个小礼物，但别带食物，除非主人让你带。还有记得等主人先开始吃，你再动筷。宏利：好的！那刀叉的正确用法能告诉我吗？山姆：右手拿刀，左手拿叉。如果不确定，就看看别人怎么做。宏利：明白了。还有其他要注意的吗？山姆：嗯，饭后要感谢主人，并说饭菜很美味。最重要的是——宏利：是什么？山姆：好好享受吧！宏利：谢谢，我会的！SectionB1bHiDiana,It'ssogreattohearfromyou.LifeinParisisprettygood!Iwasalittlelonelyatfirst,butI'mstartingtomakesomefriends.TheyhelpedmetolearnmoreaboutthecustomshereafterIhadsomeembarrassingexperiencesatapartylastmonth.I'dliketosharesometipswithyou.First,youshouldn'tarriveearlytoaparty.It'snormaltobeontimeorafewminuteslate,butarrivingearlycancauseproblems.Once,Iarrived10minutesearlytoaparty.Usuallythat'sthepolitethingtodo,right?Butmyfriendlookedsosurprisedtoseeme!Hewasstillgettingeverythingready.Second,it'simportanttobringagiftwhenyouvisitsomeone.WhenIattendedmyfriend'sparty,Ididn'tbringanything.Itwasn'thisbirthday,buteveryoneelsebroughtgiftslikechocolatesorflowerstothankhimfortheparty.Iwassoembarrassed!Third,youshouldalwaystrytodressfortheoccasion.Atthatpartyitwassurprisingtoseehownicelyeveryonewasdressed.Itwassummer,soIwasjustwearingasimpleblouseandshorts.ButeveryoneelsewasdressedsowellthatIfeltsilly.Fourth,it'sbestnottoaskpersonalquestionsunlessyouknowthepersonquitewell.ManyFrenchpeoplearequiteprivate.Theydon'tlikeitwhenothersaskthemabouttheirage,theirfamily,whethertheyaremarried,orhowmuchmoneytheymake.Foodandculture,however,aresafeconversationtopics.Lastbutnotleast,makesureyouuseFrenchwheneveryoucan.LotsofpeoplespeakEnglishhere,butyoucandevelopcloserrelationshipswiththemifyouuseFrench.It’sveryimportantintheirculture.Ifoundthatevenasimple“merci”goesalongway!You’llseewhatImeanassoonasyougethere!Aurevoir!Nancy亲爱的Diana：收到你的来信真是太好了！巴黎的生活相当不错！起初我有点孤单，但现在已经交到一些朋友了。上个月在派对上经历了几件尴尬事后，他们帮我了解了这里的习俗。我想和你分享几个小贴士。首先，参加派对时不要提前到。准时或迟到几分钟都很正常，但早到可能会带来麻烦。有一次我提前10分钟到了派对现场——通常这样显得礼貌对吧？但朋友见到我时特别惊讶，他当时还在准备呢！其次，拜访他人时带礼物很重要。我参加朋友派对时什么都没带。虽然那天不是他的生日，但其他人都带了巧克力或鲜花感谢他的招待，我简直尴尬极了！第三，永远要穿着得体。那次派对上大家的衣着讲究程度让我惊讶。当时是夏天，我只穿了简单的衬衫和短裤，而其他人穿得那么正式，让我觉得自己傻乎乎的。第四，除非很熟悉对方，否则最好不要问私人问题。很多法国人非常注重隐私，不喜欢别人询问年龄、家庭状况、婚姻情况或收入。不过，美食和文化永远是安全的话题。最后同样重要的是，尽量多说法语。这里很多人会说英语，但如果你用法语交流，能更快拉近距离。这在他们的文化中非常重要。我发现哪怕只是一句简单的“谢谢”（merci）都能起到意想不到的效果！等你来了就会明白！再见啦!NancySectionB1bHiYaming,Onemoreweektogo!I'msoexcitedtoseeyou.I'llmeettheZhaosassoonasIlandinShanghai.I'llbestayingwiththeirfamilyfortwoweeks,andI'malittlenervous!MrandMrsZhaoarebothintheirforties,andtheyhaveasonwhoisyoungerthanme.Hisgrandmotheralsoliveswiththem.Couldyougivemesomeadvice?ShouldIbringagift?InAmerica,weusuallybringthehostsomethingsmall,likefood.Isthatagoodidea?Also,whataretherighttablemanners?WhataresomegoodconversationtopicsinChina?IsthereanythingelseIshouldknow?I'mworriedaboutdoingsomethingsilly.ItcouldgivepeoplethefalseimpressionthatI'marudeperson.Firstimpressionsaresoimportantthatdon'twanttosayordoanythingwrong!I'mlookingforwardtohearingfromyousoon!Cheers,Tina亲爱的亚明：再过一周就能见到你了！我真的很期待。一到上海，我就会去见赵家人。我会在他们家住两周，心里有点紧张！赵先生和夫人四十多岁，他们有一个比我小的儿子，祖母也和他们一起住。你能给我一些建议吗？我应该带礼物吗？在美国，我们通常会带些小礼物给主人，比如食物。这样合适吗？另外，中国的餐桌礼仪是怎样的？在中国有哪些适合交谈的话题？还有什么我需要注意的吗？我担心自己会做出傻事，给人留下不礼貌的印象。第一印象很重要，我不想说错或做错任何事！期待尽快收到你的回信！祝好，蒂娜ReadingPlusSymbolsofChineseCultureChinesecultureisoneoftheoldestintheworld,anditisrichintraditionsandbeliefs.Manyofthethingsyousee,hear,oreventasteinChinamaybesymbolswithspecialmeanings!DragonsInmanyWesternstories,dragonsarefrighteningmonsters.However,peopleinChinaarenotfrightenedofthem!Instead,theythinkdragonsareasymbolofpowerandgoodfortune.ChinesedragonsaresopopularinChinathatyoucanseetheminmanyplaces,suchasvases,buildings,money,clothes,paintings,andjewellery!Thewordfor“dragon”evenappearsinnamesandidioms.Forexample,“tohopethatone’schildrenbecomedragons”meansthatparentshopetheirchildrenwilldowellinlife.InChina,peoplethinkdragonsaresopowerfulthattheycallthemselvesthedescendantsofthedragon!ThecolourredInChina,redisapowerfulcolourwithspecialmeaning.Manypeoplethinkitbringsgoodluckandwealth,soyouwillseereddecorationssuchaspapercuttings,couplets,andlanternsduringfestivalsliketheChineseNewYear.Peoplethinkredissoluckythattheywearitduringcelebrations.AttraditionalChineseweddings,boththebrideandgroomwearred.Inmanyothercountries,however,redisnotthecolourofgoodluckbutdanger!Peopleuseredtoshowwhenaplaceorthingisdangerous.LuckynumbersCertainnumbersareluckyinChinabecausetheysoundlikeotherChinesewordswithpositivemeanings.“Six”,forexample,soundslike“flow”.Itsymbolizesthingsgoingwell.Thenumber“two”isalsolucky,becausetheChinesebelievethatgoodthingscomeinpairs.“Eight”soundslikeawordwhichmeans“tomakeafortune”,anditsymbolizeswealth.Lastly,“nine”hasthesamepronunciationasthechar
