On our second day in China, we had already been asked to join the school for supper. Nervous and unsure of the food and table manners, we politely agreed. Coming to China, the thing I was most nervous about was the food, and now my first dining experience would be with the school staff. 

In Chinese culture the most important person sits facing the door. When plates of food started arriving, I wished I had practiced my chopstick skills before arriving in China. 

Chinese culture is all about being hospitable (好 客 的 ). This means ordering lots of food and encouraging you to keep eating. It also means drinking wine or tea. You'll never have an empty glass. 

It's polite to try everything, but if you know me, you would know l don't eat everything. Fresh fish? Sure, an entire fish on the plate staring at you while you pick at it. Not for me. Snails with their shell crushed and cooked into a meal?No thanks!The lung of a pig? I'll pass. It seems that the Chinese really eat everything!

The Chinese people are friendly. They want to learn about you and teach you about their culture. They like to ask questions, and it is polite to ask them many questions and keep the conversation going. 

Every day I'm pushed out of my comfort zone (舒 适 区 ). But for the most part, I discover something I really enjoy. The experience itself is quite amazing, I've learned a lot, yet there's still so much to learn. It surely is different from my culture and way of living, but being in their shoes and seeing life through their eyes has really helped me to understand. And I look forward to discovering more!

 阅读下面的短文,然后根据括号内所给中文意思写出单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。

The Grand Canyon is in the northwest part of Arizona, America. The Colorado River, a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(银灰色的) stream, runs through the canyon. It is really a great 2 {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(奇观). 

If you look around in the canyon, you can see many rocks. Scientists believe these rocks are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (差不多) or more than two billion years old, but no one can be sure about this. 

About 500 4{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (百万) years ago, small sea animals lived in the sea. When they died, their bodies {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (留下) and became fossils (化石) after a long time. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(虽然) there are no fossils at the bottom of the canyon, you can find something such as the trilobites (三叶虫) by the top. 

Hiking in the Grand Canyon is very{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(不同的) from any other hiking. Because the weather there is hot and dry and the sun {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(照耀) brightly. You need a lot of water for going down the canyon in the day. You should {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(盖, 盖上) every part of your skin in summer and you'd better wear light clothes and a hat. In my {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(看法), you should hike in the coolest part during the day and rest for a while at noon. 

 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

 In the coastal city of Laguna in Brazil(巴西), there is a special fishing team. It is made up of human fishers and dolphins! They work together to catch the same food-mullet(鲻鱼).

 Mauricio Cantor from Oregon State University, US, studied this relationship. As he told Science News Explores, the cooperation started more than a century ago. "The dolphins are really good at finding fish and driving them to the coast," Cantor said. "Fishermen are really good at catching the fish with their nets."

 Cantor's study described how fishers and dolphins give signals (信号) to each other during fishing. When dolphins find fish, they drive them to the coast. Then they arch (拱起) their backs in front of the fishers to tell them to cast(撒) nets. Fishermen will then cast the net s right away, or they may lose the best chance. Fishermen need to be well-trained to understand the signals from dolphins, said Cantor. Once the fish are caught in the nets, dolphins can move in and get some as their food.

 The study found that fishers are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, cooperative dolphins have 13% higher survival rates (生存率) than other dolphins."Human-animal partnerships give us an idea of how well our human can get on with nature," Cantor said.

 . There is a kind of bird named the"honey guide" in Africa. Their name can show what they do-they work with honey hunters(搜寻者). In return, the birds get their favorite food.
