An old saying goes, “When in Rome(罗马),do as the Romans do.” I learned the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} of this when I studied in Russia.

    One day I invited some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow. My guests and I were {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  from visiting Red Square and happy about our meeting. We had a warm  chat  until  the  waiter  told  me  that  we  were  being  too  loud.  We  turned  our  voices {#blank#}3{#/blank#} .But this didn't last long. The waiter came over to us two more {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  with the same message.

    How bad an impression(印象) we must have left on the local people! In China, it's {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  and important for a host to make a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  atmosphere(气氛).However, in Russia and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  countries, having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice low. You need to be polite to others.

    I felt bad about this. Even though we tried our {#blank#}8{#/blank#} , it's very difficult to develop a new habit.

    Russians have their own special habits. My Russia friend, Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home. I asked him why he did this. “Aha,” Andrey said, “in Russia, people always take about a minute {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  over things and plans in their minds before leaving. So they won't leave anything necessary behind.”

    Finding the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  between cultures is much fun. I'd like to keep my eyes and mind open.

    Mae West said, "I speak two languages, Body and English." Sometimes, our {#blank#}1{#/blank#} are saying more than our words.

    In Britain, people don't want you {#blank#}2{#/blank#} them at all. In a formal situation (正式场合), {#blank#}3{#/blank#} people would often greet each other with a handshake. They don't often greet with a hug, and almost never with a kiss! {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in the south of Italy and in many other parts of the world, people always greet with two {#blank#}5{#/blank#} on the cheek (脸颊). And do you know what's the most popular body language? It's smile! So always {#blank#}6{#/blank#} at people when you greet them!

    There are many interesting places there, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the Olympic Park, the Geziwo Park and the Tiger Rock Park. In the Olympic Park, there are some athletes' statues (运动员的雕像) and champions' fingerprints (冠军的手印) and footprints. Everything in the park is about the Olympics. The Geziwo Park {#blank#}2{#/blank#}famous because it is one of the best places to watch the sunset (落日). Thousands of people go to watch the sunset every day. People can also see different kinds of birds. We {#blank#}3{#/blank#}ourselves in Beidaihe. After the trip, we are hoping for the next holiday.
