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.

    In the past, it took a long time for people to find someone. Nowadays, however, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the help of online communities, people can get their search {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (do) within a short period of time. All they need to do {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) get online and upload a picture of the person they are looking for, or share some basic information about this person. Because of the “footprints” people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (leave)

    online, other Internet users are usually able to find anyone{#blank#}5{#/blank#}they are interested in.

    One example of this is a man who beat a dog cruelly. His {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (violent) was recorded and uploaded online. In a very short time, the man was reported to an animal rescue team. In the end, he was punished and made to apologize. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} example involves a college student who refused {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (clean) up after her dog on the subway. Netizens revealed her personal information in order to punish her. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (wide) blamed for her behavior, this girl left college eventually. Many people thus began to debate {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a “witch-hunt” like this went to far or not.

    A reporter from Jiangsu Province went to Australia and some other countries with his father for a 3-month trip. His father spent most of his life {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（work）in the field. The son started the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（amaze）trips with his father around the world  because the farmer father {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（get）cancer—a serious illness.

    The reporter wanted to  take his father to travel，{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（hope）that his father can  find his younger self in his last days. They travelled more than 13,000 kilometers and took over 110, 000 {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（picture）on their trips to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（difference）countries. Well，a miracle(奇迹) happened  during the “rebirth” trips. To their surprise，{#blank#}7{#/blank#}（he）father got better from illness and became more openhearted.

    He even taught himself to play {#blank#}8{#/blank#} violin，and then {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（gradual） he played it very  well，{#blank#}10{#/blank#}encouraged him a lot. Now he is expecting another trip to Africa. He is the most stylish dad ever.

    Time carves(雕刻) his face but youth flows in his blood. This is the real style.
