While you are travelling abroad，cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes，which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill—feeling between individuals．
Touching SomeoneIn Mediterranean countries，if you don't touch someone's arm when talking to them or if you don't greet them with kisses or a warm hug，you'll be considered cold．But backslap(拍背)someone who isn't a family member or a good friend in Korea，and you'll make them uncomfortable．In Thailand，the head is considered sacred—never even pat a child on the head．
Talking Over Dinner
In some countries，like China，Japan and some African nations，the food's the thing，so don't start chatting about your day's adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner． It's not because your group is unfriendly，but because meal times are for eating，not talking．
Removing Your Shoes or Not
Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized，but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia，Hawaii，or the Pacific Islands and you'll be considered disrespectful．So，if you see a row of shoes at the door，start undoing your laces．
Once you are on the ground of a different country，remain highly sensitive to native behavior．And don't feel offended if something seems offensive—like queue jumping．After all，this is a global village，and we are all very different．
A．Personal space varies as you travel the globe．
B．Asians consider removing shoes impolite at home．
C．Never be completely surprised by anything．
D．The linguistic mistake means that someone is not fully expressing his idea．
E．Look out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid them．
F．If not，keep the shoes on．
G．You'll likely be met with silence．
Recycling is very important and necessary in today's world. The most important reason for this is that human progress and industry have made it possible for people to have lots of things, and when people have many material possessions, they are bound to throw some of them away. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Recycling is a way for us to keep the world clean as items are broken down and used again, preventing the littering of the environment. Instead of throwing all your garbage into the dustbin, you should separate paper, metal, glass, and plastic into different containers. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} They can be turned into valuable compost, which is the perfect plant food and soil disease fighter.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} You can see if an item has been made from recycled materials by its label. If it's been recycled, it will say so. Also instead of always buying new clothes, you can arrange to have a clothing exchange with your friends. You bring clothes you don't want and pick items you want from what other people have brought. Not only does this save the environment, but it also saves your money. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} This saying can be applied to all sorts of things: books, CDs, furniture, etc. Also try shopping at second-hand stores, because they often have lots of items still in good shape for you to choose.
Many countries have made it easy for people to recycle, as alongside the normal garbage trucks, special garbage trucks come and pick up recyclables. However, in some countries the responsibility is left up to the ordinary people to recycle. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Recycling represents just one way in which we can help the environment. But it is an effective one and one that we can actively influence.
A. Fallen leaves can also be recycled. B. Having too many things causes a lot of garbage. C. You should try to buy products that have been recycled. D. Products made with recycled materials are as good as new products. E. This creates a lot of garbage which in turn destroys the environment. F. Remember, what is one person's unwanted object can be someone else's treasure! G. Therefore, it needs attention in society so we can continue to make our environment livable. |
