Katie: How was the welcome party for foreign students last night?

John: Great! I made some new friends. But a funny thing happened.

Katie: What?

John: I met a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} boy called Sato, and as soon as I held out my hand, he bowed.

Katie: That's how people in Japan are expected to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} each other. It's impolite if you don't bow.

John: I didn't know that. So I just stood there with my hand out. Finally, I returned the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

Katie: I remember when I first met Marie last year, I did the same thing. I held out my hand and to my surprise, she kissed me on both {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of my face!

John: I wouldn't mind that!

Katie: Very funny. Later I found out French people are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to kiss when they see each other.

    It was nine on a cold winter night. I hurried to go home from work on my motorbike.

    At the last crossing, while I was {#blank#}1{#/blank#}for the green light, I saw an old man walking toward me. He {#blank#}2{#/blank#}me and I felt a little nervous. The old man said  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}"Excuse me. Could you please help me? "I looked at him up and down. He looked about 70 years old.

    The old man took out a 10-yuan bill and said to me, "You see the old lady over there? She is selling baked(烤)sweet potatoes. Could you just {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the money and buy one from her? "He pointed at an old lady selling something about fifty{#blank#}5{#/blank#}away in the corner.

    "But why don't you go and buy it {#blank#}6{#/blank#}?""I was puzzles(迷惑的). The old man continued. "That old lady is my wife and it's her {#blank#}7{#/blank#}day to sell baked sweet potatoes. Just now I called her. She told me that there was only one sweet potato left and she wouldn't go home until all the sweet potatoes were {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.

    But I know she can't stand the cold because her legs hurt. I'm very worried about her."

    At that time, I understood why the old man asked me to buy his {#blank#}9{#/blank#}sweet potato. I felt really warm and moved. Without taking the money, I rode to the old lady quickly and bought the last one. As I waved goodbye to the old man. I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}see him standing there with a thankful smile.
