Grammar Rules
so...that...用法
so … that意为“如此……以至于”，引导结果状语从句，其中so 是副词，修饰形容词或副词，其构成为“so + 形容词/副词 + that从句”。
e.g. He worked so hard that he passed the exam.
He was so worried that he didn’t sleep well last night.
注意：区别于so that，so that意为“为了，以便”，一般用来引导目的状语从句，相当于in order that，从句中多含有can, could, may, might等情态动词。
e.g. I took a taxi so that I could get there earlier.
unless用法
unless作连词意为“除非；如果不”，引导条件状语从句，如果主句为一般将来时、祈使句或主句含有情态动词，条件状语从句中的谓语常用一般现在时表将来。
e.g.Unless it rains tomorrow, we will go camping.
Don’t watch TV unless you finish your homework.
as soon as用法
as soon as 意为“一......就......”，引导时间状语从句。若主句是一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表示将来。
e.g. As soon as he arrives, we will start to work.
I will do my homework as soon as I finish the meal.
As soon as I went in, Jason greeted me warmly.
-ed & -ing结尾的形容词
-ed 结尾的形容词：通常用来描述人的感受或状态，强调某人“感到…… 的”，侧重于人的主观情绪体验。多数情况下用来修饰人，包括具体的个人、人群等。
e.g. I'm surprised at the news.
He looked confused by the complicated instructions.
I was very excited about the trip.
-ing 结尾的形容词：主要用于描述事物本身具有的性质或特征，表示“令人…… 的”。主要修饰事物，如事件、物体、情况等。

Section B How do we show respect to other cultures
(1a-1e) & Vocabulary in Use
Learning Objectives
In this lesson you will:
1.get the main idea and the target information from the email.
2.learn about French party customs and compare them with Chinese ones.
3.learn to respect cultural differences and behave properly in cross-
cultural interactions.
1a
What should you know before you attend a party in a foreign country Tick the topics that you think are important.
□arrival time
□how to thank others
□how to greet the host
□table manners
□safe conversation topics
□what gifts to bring
□how to dress
□topics to avoid
□when to say goodbye
Read Nancy's email about party manners in France. Underline the topic sentences.
1b
Identifying topic sentences
A topic sentence gives the main idea of a paragraph. It usually appears at the start of a paragraph, but it can also appear later on. Identifying the topic sentences can help you quickly understand a text.
Hi Diana,
1It's so great to hear from you. Life in Paris is pretty good! I was a little lonely at first, but I'm starting to make some friends. They helped me to learn more about the customs here after I had some embarrassing experiences at a party last month. I'd like to share some tips with you.
2First, you shouldn't arrive early to a party. It's normal to be on time
or a few minutes late, but arriving early can cause problems. Once, I arrived 10 minutes early to a party. Usually that's the polite thing to do,right But my friend looked so surprised to see me! He was still getting everything ready.
3Second, it's important to bring a gift when you visit someone. When I attended my friend's party, I didn't bring anything. It wasn't his birthday, but everyone else brought gifts like chocolates or flowers to thank him for the party. I was so embarrassed!
4Third, you should always try to dress for the occasion. At that party it was surprising to see how nicely everyone was dressed. It was summer, so I was just wearing a simple blouse and shorts. But everyone else was dressed so well that I felt silly.
5Fourth, it's best not to ask personal questions unless you know the person quite well. Many French people are quite private. They don't like it when others ask them about their age, their family, whether they are married, or how much money they make. Food and culture, however, are safe conversation topics.
6Last but not least, make sure you use French whenever you can. Lots of people speak English here, but you can develop closer relationships with them if you use French. It's very important in their culture. I found that even a simple “merci” goes a long way! You'll see what I mean as soon as you get here!
Au revoir!
Nancy

You should not ask about their age, family, whether they are married, or how much money they make.

1. When in a new country, we should learn about local customs and etiquette to avoid embarrassment and mistakes.

Unit 6 Crossing Cultures
Learning Objectives
In this lesson you will:
1. learn about three typical Chinese cultural symbols and their
meanings.
2. compare the different meanings of the same symbol in Chinese and
Western cultures.
Chinese culture is one of the oldest in the world, and it is rich in traditions and beliefs. Many of the things you see, hear, or even taste in China may be symbols with special meanings!
Symbols of Chinese Culture
Dragons
In many Western stories, dragons are frightening monsters. However, people in China are not frightened of them! Instead, they think dragons are a symbol of power and good fortune. Chinese dragons are so popular in China that you can see them in many places, such as vases, buildings, money, clothes, paintings, and
jewellery! The word for “dragon" even appears in names and idioms. For example, “to hope that one's children become dragons" means that parents hope their children will do well in life. In China, people think dragons are so powerful that they call themselves the descendants of the dragon!
The colour red
In China, red is a powerful colour with special meaning. Many
people think it brings good luck and wealth, so you will see red decorations such as paper-cuts, couplets, and lanterns during festivals like the Chinese New Year. People think red is so lucky
that they wear it during celebrations. At traditional Chinese weddings, both the bride and groom wear red. Red also has positive meanings in other cultures. For example, a red carpet shows importance, and red roses symbolize love. However, in Western culture, red could sometimes mean loss. If a company has “red ink" or is "in the red", it means that they are losing more money than they are earning.
Lucky numbers
Certain numbers are lucky in China because they sound like other Chinese words with positive meanings. “Six", for example, sounds like “flow". It symbolizes things going well. The number “two" is also lucky, because the Chinese believe that good things come in pairs. "Eight”sounds like a word which means “to make a fortune",
and it symbolizes wealth. Lastly, “nine" has the same pronunciation
as the character “久”, which means “long lasting”. So“nine” has come to symbolize a long life. On the other hand, “four" sounds like “death". Some people find this number so unlucky that they avoid using it in their phone numbers. But China is not the only place with special numbers. In America, for example, “seven” is a lucky number
while “thirteen” is an unlucky number.
