    It's true that every country has its customs.

    We all know that in America if people are pleased with you, they will give you a sign "OK". But maybe you don't know this sign is rude in Brazil.

    In Poland, guests usually choose flowers as presents for hostesses(女主人). Remember the number must be odd(奇数的). And the hostess doesn't hope that you remove the cover of the bunch(束) of flowers. You must be more careful when you give red roses to a woman because the red rose means love.

    In China we often hear people say that "nodding" means agreement(同意). And "shaking the head" means disagreement. But in Bulgaria they mean the opposite.

    We really need to pay more attention to the differences in customs. What's more, we should learn more about them in order to avoid embarrassment(尴尬). Do remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

 It is usual for Chinese schools to pay much more attention to studfes than sports. However, the problems of students' physical health have drawn people's attention recently. In 2021, the Sports Literacy Evaluation System(体育素养评价体系) was officially put into use. In order to help improve students' health, the Ministry of Education(教育部) required that primary and high school students must do an hour of sports activities a day to improve their physical health.

 Tang Jiangpeng, a head teacher from Jiangsu Province, asked all of his students to take one PE class a day and exercise for at least an nour. "If students can't get high scores, they will fail to enter a good university. But if all they have is just high scores, they may fail the test of life, "he said.

 Tang said that half of the boys were taller than him, but very few of them

 could do the school's chin-up(引体向上) test, and 132 boys couldn't even do one chin-up. After just one term of sports classes, most students can do 50 push-ups in a minute now. "Before the sports classes,I could only do two to three chin-ups. But now I can easily finish 10, "Zhang Kunpeng, a first-grade student said. The changes show that exercise is necessary.

 Schools now offer various sports classes, including basketball, volleyball, soccer, swimming and yoga to students as they hope to encourage students to do more exercise. Moreover, well-trained coaches will teach sports classes.

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

 Have you noticed that people speak differently to babies compared to adults? Caregivers, especially mothers, change their speech when talking to young children. How? Their speech includes higher pitch (音高) and a wider pitch range (范围). They use shorter sentences and repeat words more often. You can think of it as baby talk. Researchers have recently discovered that dolphins also use baby talk with their babies.

The research team recorded sounds of 19 mother dolphins living in the Sarasota Bay area. The sounds of the same female dolphins were compared when they were with and without their babies. Chart 1 shows the sound of a female dolphin without her baby. The researchers found that when dolphins were with their babies, dolphin mothers had a wider range of frequencies (频率) of the sound-the maximum (最高 ) frequencies were higher and the lowest frequencies were lower.

The findings mirror the way that humans change the speech when speaking to babies. Dolphin baby talk may have a similar purpose to human"baby talk" it may help babies learn how to phonate. We humans don't only use baby talk with little babies, but with the children who are still learning to speak. As a result, our children are able to talk. That's exactly what happens to dolphins. The changes in speech don't just happen when dolphin mothers stay with very young babies, but also between mothers and babies that are closer to"toddler (学步的幼儿)" age. Another possible reason for using specific pitch is to catch the children's attention. It's really important for a young dolphin to know"Oh, Mom is talking to me now."

 The research about baby talk in dolphins reminds us how important it is in humans. Whenever we speak with a young child, how we say things could be as important as what we say.
