阅读理解

The homestay(寄宿家庭) provides English language students with the good chance to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of an American home.

What to Expect

The host will provide places to live in and meals. Rooms will be cleaned every day. And the host is there to offer help and advice on your physical and mental(精神的) health.

Living Area

Host families are mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4. Most hosts don't live in Zone 1 because much of central New York is the trading centre. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger houses in uncrowded areas. But it's very convenient to travel to the centre of New York by subway.

Meal Plans

It's important to know that few American families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your breakfast mainly includes fruit juice, bread and coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold neat are not part of the breakfast. Dinners are usually made up of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desserts, fruit and coffee.

Friends

If you wish to invite a friend to visit you, you must ask your host for permission(许可)fir because some families feel uncomfortable when there are strangers at their home.

举一反三

    What is your favourite colour? Ask famous persons like Cate Blanchett，Searlett Johansson and Bono，and maybe they will say“green．”That's not because these artists particularly like the colour green．Instead，they are interested in green fashion．
Green fashion is about making(and wearing)clothes that are good for humans，animals，and the Earth．In the past，green fashion made people think of hippies(嬉皮士)and ugly clothes．But today，green fashion is different．It is about looking good and caring about the Earth and other people．You can have interesting clothes and be green．
    Around the world，green fashion is becoming popular．For example，the U．K．company
People Tree sells men's and women's clothing and accessories(饰品)．They are made from natural fabrics(织物)like cotton and wool．Workers who make the clothes are from countries like Nepal，Kenya，and Bangladesh．People Tree pays the men and women good money for the clothes they create．
    Singer Bono and his wife also started a clothing company called EDUN．When the clothes sell，EDUN uses most of the money to help people around the world．

The hottest place in the world is the Sahara Desert in Africa. But there are deserts in many other places: in America, in Asia and in Australia. In 1917 the temperature in Death Valley, in the United States, was over 48℃ every day for six weeks. That's very hot!But deserts are not always hot. After dark, deserts are very cold.
Not many animals and plants can live in a desert, because it doesn't rain very often. But one animal likes the desert — the camel. It has big feet to walk on the sand. It can live for a long time without water. Sometimes it doesn't drink anything for weeks — so it gets very thirsty! When it finds water it can drink 100 liters(升) at a time.

Facing the Sea with Spring Blossoms

By Haizi

From tomorrow on. I will be a happy man

Grooming, chopping and travelling all over the world.

From tomorrow on. I will care about food and vegetables.

Living in a house towards the sea with spring blossoms.

From tomorrow on. I will write to each of my dear ones.

Telling them of my happiness, which is the happiest lightening told me.

I will spread it to each one of them, giving every river and every mountain a warm name.

Strangers, I will also wish you happy.

May you have a brilliant future!

May you lovers eventually become spouses!

May you enjoy happiness in this earthly world!

I only wish to face the sea, with spring blossoms.

Question: Are you punctual(守时的)?

Posted April 3, 2019 by Billy

I'm punctual in my work life, but not in my personal life. However, it's OK in my country. We, Brazilians, are always late: if the party is at eight, everyone shows up at ten and everyone, including the host, is happy that we are on time. Cheers!

Lisa Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Of course! My friends and I all believe that showing up late for an appointment (约会) or class is an insult(冒犯) to the person(s) we are meeting. It seems to say, "My time is more important than yours."

Vera Lausanne. Switzerland

Not only am I punctual, but I am always early for most events in my life. The secret is (and it really works!): I keep all the clocks (except my computer) in my life 10 minutes fast!

Wang Cai Shenzhen, China

For an appointment, I always make sure I'm on time. Once I had a friend who was always late for every meeting. If we made it at 9 and it was a 45-minute trip for her, then she would arrive at 9: 45. I liked her a lot, but could not stand the unpunctuality.

Bud Berlim, Germany

阅读理解

Our new foreign students are going to arrive very soon, and here are some ways to communicate with them politely.

How close do you stand when you talk to a friend? You can stand close to people in the Middle East but don't stand too close to North Americans! Give them more personal space.

Do you know how to touch people correctly? Chinese girls often walk arm in arm with their friends. South Americans sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can't move away! But in Britain many people don't like other people to touch them at all.

Do you look at people when you talk? In some places，it isn't polite to look at people when you talk，but in other countries it isn't polite to look somewhere else. In Britain and the U. S., people usually look at each other when they talk.

And how do you say goodbye? That's easy, wave to say goodbye. But be careful! In Greece, it's not at all polite. In fact, it's very rude.
