Without doubt, studying international customs can help avoid {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (difficult) in today's world of cultural crossroads.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I get to know more international friends, I learn more about cultural “body language”. Not all cultures greet each other the same way, nor {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be )they comfortable in the same way with touching or distance between people. Spoken language can {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (take) full advantage of to communicate with others, they also express their feelings {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (use) unspoken “language” through physical distance, actions or posture, English people, for example, do not usually stand very close {#blank#}6{#/blank#} others or touch strangers as soon as they meet.

    However, people from places like Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (close) and are more likely {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (touch) them. Most people around the world now greet each other by shaking hands, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} some cultures use other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} prefer to bow.

    The solar system was{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(die) out. People all around the world built giant planet thruster to move Earth to a new star system. Yet the 2005 years journey came with unexpected dangers. In order to save human beings, a group of young people in this age of a wandering earth came out{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(brave) and fought hard for everyone's{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(survive). It is{#blank#}4{#/blank#}adaptation of Cixin Liu's The wandering earth.

Like Hollywood space movies where Americans are pictured as the only ones capable{#blank#}7{#/blank#}saving human being, here Chinese astronauts are the adventurers among the global space community{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(determine) to complete the task.

    Regardless of the outcome for the history of mankind, Chinese astronauts have decided to choose hope. Hope is as precious{#blank#}9{#/blank#}diamond, which is the only way home. As the saying goes in the movie, among tens of thousands of matters, safety is the first one.{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (regular)operations will make your loved ones shed tears.

    He's an old cobbler (修鞋匠) with a shop in a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he told me, "I haven't time. Take them to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} other fellow on the main street.

    Just looking at his bench {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(load) with tools and pieces of leather, I knew the craftsman (手艺人) was rather {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(skill). "No," I replied, "the other fellow can't do it well."

    "The fellow he mentioned" is one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(careless), and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带), you might as well just throw away the pair. The reason {#blank#}5{#/blank#} I wanted to have my shoes repaired in the shop is that the man works very carefully.

    The man {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(have) me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, "Come back tomorrow."

    I was about to leave {#blank#}7{#/blank#} he took a pair of soft leather {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(boot) off a shelf.

    "See what I can do?" he said with pride. "Only three {#blank#}9{#/blank#} us in Paris can do this kind of work."

    The cobbler was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty hat, his funny accent and, above all, his pride in his craft.

    In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(satisfy) from pride in a job well done.
