    Being shy keeps many Chinese people from getting to know Westerners. You may feel nervous about making language mistakes in front of a native English speaker.

    But remember, Westerners living in Asia know how it feels when trying to communicate in a foreign language. They make many mistakes when speaking Chinese!

    So don't worry about speaking imperfect English. The most important thing is just to communicate. Start talking, and make some foreign friends!

    Many Westerners value their privacy(隐私). Don't be surprised if your new friend doesn't want to include you in everything he does. This may seem strange to Chinese who worry that their friends will feel lonely.

    Chinese people often expect their good friends to give advice to and take care of them in many ways. If you expect this kind of care from Westerners, you may be disappointed. Why? Because most Westerners value independence. They feel insulted(受侮辱的) if others think they can't  take care of themselves. They will assume(假设) you feel in the same way.

    Of course, these tips are just rules of thumb(经验之谈)and may not apply to all Westerners. Each person you meet has his or her own ideas about friendship. When you get confused, don't be shy to ask questions. Your new Western friends may also have many questions about Chinese culture , and they may be hesitant(迟疑的) to ask. So encourage them to ask questions, too.

    Be honest and open to your friends. Respect each other's differences. The friendship you develop can be lifelong treasure both for you and your new friend.

 阅读下面材料, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

①An energy company in Sweden has started a project to heat up the city of Västeras using large underground caves(洞穴) full of warm water — like a huge hot water bottle under the streets.

②The energy company, Mälarenergi, will use large caves that already been there and can hold almost the same amount of water as 120 Olympic- sized swimming pools. Around 40 years ago the caves were used to hold large amounts of oil, in case it was needed for fuel(燃料). However, the caves were emptied in 1985 and they haven't been used to store anything since then.

③Mälarenergi is cleaning the caves before it fills them with water, which will be heated up to 95℃ using heat from Mälarenergi's nearby power station. The thick rock holds the heat and will keep the water warm even in winter. An instrument called a heat exchange r will warm the water and will turn the heat into another liquid(液体) when it is ready to be used. This liquid will then travel into people's heater through the local heating network, which supplies warmth for 98% of the households in Västeras. The town is home to 130,000 people.

④The system should help the company to carry on providing heat for customers, even on really cold days when lots of people turn on the heating. The company hopes it will be a useful way to warm homes, with less waste, because it will be difficult for the heat to run away from underground.

⑤ In Finland, a system like this is already in use, providing 25,000 homes with heat from underground caves. Some scientists think it could be used in the UK. About a quarter of the British population live above coal mines(煤矿) that are no longer used. Over the years, lots of these man- made caves have been covered in water and the natural warmth underground has kept the water at a temperature of around 15℃. The water could be warmed up even more by using a heat machine and sent to nearby houses to heat them. This method has already been used before in England.
