There is a big difference between knowing a country from social media and experiencing it in person. This is what students from the US 1 during an eight-day exchange journey.
From 24th March to 31st March 2024, a group of 15 students from the US went on a cultural 2 in China.
For Ian Sierra, this was his first time going abroad (在国外). While in Beijing, Sierra tried douzhi. It is a 3 even for locals. Surprisingly, he finished three bowls.
Besides Chinese 4 , Sierra loved the program at Beijing No.4 High School International Campus (BHSFIC). “With the help of my Chinese classmates, I 5 table tennis after classes ended. The Chinese students 6 my eye because they played like professionals (职业运动员),” he said. “In the US, students 7 do sports through clubs and sports teams … Sports are more for fun here.”
The 8 was mutual (相互的). Li Weiyou, a student from BHSFIC was 9 when seeing Michael Sosa. “Before I knew Michael, I thought US students paid more attention to personal development than their studies. But Michael was different. He does well 10 both,” said Li.
With technology and media 11 quickly, teenagers can get information about other countries online 12 . However, online searches show only a tiny part of the full story of cultural exchange. “Without this trip, I couldn’t learn about the high school life of Chinese students and how 13 and open-minded Chinese people are,” said Ian Chan.
For Sierra, the week-long trip even 14 his future dream. “I used to think about becoming a maths teacher in the US. 15 now I’m thinking about teaching English in Beijing or Shanghai,” he said.

Last summer, I had a chance to travel to India with my family. It was a truly 16 experience. The 17 there is very different from ours. People usually greet each other with a 18 bow, which shows respect. During our stay, we visited a local school. The students were very friendly and 19 to show us their traditional dances. I was deeply 20 by their enthusiasm. We also tried Indian food. Some dishes were very 21 , but others were surprisingly delicious. One interesting thing was that people there love using their 22 when eating, instead of chopsticks or forks. We found it 23 at first, but after some practice, we got used to it.

How about 28 people Chinese girls often walk arm in arm 29 their friends.
South Americans sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can’t 30 away! But in Britain many people don’t like other people to touch them at all.
Do you look at people 31 you talk In some places, it isn’t polite to look at people when you talk, but in other 32 it isn’t polite to look somewhere else. In Britain and the US, people 33 look at each other when they talk.
And how do you say 34 That’s easy. Wave to say goodbye. But be careful! In Greece, it’s not at all polite! 35 , it’s very rude!

When you travel to other countries, you will find that people greet each other differently. In the US, people usually 36 hands when they meet for the first time. In Japan, it is a 37 to bow. You shouldn't stand too 38 to others to show respect. In some European countries, friends might 39 each other on the cheek. It shows they are very close.
It is also important to know what topics are 40 to talk about. In many Western countries, asking about age, weight or money is considered 41 . These are 42 topics. If you ask them, people will feel 43 and won’t want to continue the conversation.
When you are in a foreign country, 44 you are not sure what to do, just watch what others do. Remember the old saying: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” This will help you 45 well with local people and make your trip more enjoyable.

Last year, I had the chance to study in the UK for three months. It was an exciting but challenging experience. I lived with a local 46 family, the Smiths.
At first, everything felt 47 . The food was different, the weather was colder, and people spoke so fast that I couldn’t understand them. I missed my family and friends back home. I even cried a few times. I was experiencing 48 shock.
But slowly, things started to get better. I 49 to communicate more with my host family. Mrs. Smith was very kind and patient. She 50 me how to make traditional English dishes like fish and chips. I also learned about British customs. For example, when you are invited to someone’s home, it’s 51 to bring a small gift like flowers or chocolate.
I also made friends at school. They were curious about Chinese 52 . I taught them how to use chopsticks and told them about the Spring Festival. They were 53 to learn that we eat dumplings during the festival. In return, they taught me about British festivals like Bonfire Night.
By the end of my stay, I felt much more 54 . I learned that although cultures are different, people’s hearts are the same. This experience opened my eyes and made me more 55 -minded. I hope to visit more countries in the future.

Tea is to Chinese people what coffee is to Westerners. A host often welcomes his guests by serving them a cup of tea in China. It’s a traditional 56 . In Chinese tea culture, there are some 57 to follow. We call them tea manners, just like table manners.
58 , guests should sit in order of importance from the left-hand side of the host. It 59 that older and superior ( 地位高的) guests usually sit down first. Don’t sit face to face with the host because people think it is impolite. If it is inevitable ( 不可避免的), children should take this seat.
Secondly, when the host serves guests with tea, guests should 60 the tea cup with both hands. Don’t forget to 61 your thanks to the host. In China, finger tapping (敲) is a 62 way to give silent (无声的) thanks to the person pouring tea for you. Do you know 63 to do it Just tap the table three times with two fingers (sometimes, one or five) each time your cup is filled with tea by another person.

When you travel to different countries, understanding their 66 customs is really important. It helps you make a good 67 and avoid mistakes.
In China, there are many special traditions. For example, people use 68 to eat. It’s not 69 to stick them straight into the rice or point at others with them. And remember, when you’re offered a cup of tea in a Chinese home, you should 70 the cup with both hands to show respect.
In Japan, bowing is a common way to greet others. Different types of bows have different 71 . For example, a deep bow can show great respect, like when you 72 someone on his or her wedding. Besides, you should not talk loudly at the table in Japan. But making noise while eating noodles is actually considered a sign that you enjoy the food, and that’s a bit different from other 73 !
In Western countries like the US, people often 74 hands when they meet for the first time. At the dinner table, they use knives and forks. It’s impolite to wear a 75 to a very formal dinner, but for a casual meal, it’s okay. 76 you’re not sure about how to behave, just watch others and do as they do. This can help you avoid looking 77 .
In some Middle Eastern countries, it’s 78 to show the soles (鞋底) of your feet, so be careful how you sit. Also, when 79 food, using your left hand is thought to be unclean, so always use your right hand.
Different countries have their own ways of doing things. 80 it’s about greeting, eating, or resting, the traditions make our world colourful. By learning about them, we can improve our ability to communicate and get along with people from all over the world.

Nancy was a shy girl. She went to study in England. She got an invitation from the Smiths to their dinner party one evening. Nancy was 81 at first, but soon she began to feel worried.
Before the party, Nancy put on a beautiful 82 and stayed in her room. Christine, her new friend, came in. “You look great in your dress. But why are you so nervous ” Christine asked.
“I’m going to Mr. Smith’s dinner party, 83 I don’t know much about table manners,” answered Nancy.
“Don’t worry, Nancy. I can 84 you some table manners now. The first thing you need to learn is to wait until all the food is on the table before you start to eat,” said Christine.
On hearing her words, Nancy looked less 85 . That was easy for her. “What about the knife and fork Is it necessary to 86 the knife and fork ” she asked.
“Of course. You would have no other 87 ,” Christine said. “One more thing—never talk when your mouth is 88 . You should also chew (咀嚼) with your mouth closed.” Nancy looked relaxed. She never chewed with her mouth open. “Be careful, Nancy! Try not to burp (打嗝). It’s really important because we’re a little strict about that,” Christine 89 .

Body Language Across Cultures
Body language is an important part of cross-cultural communication. Different countries have different ways to show greetings and feelings. If we don’t know these customs, we may make mistakes and make people feel 91 .
Last month, I took part in an international cultural exchange activity in India. On the first day, I wanted to greet an Indian elder. I 92 to shake hands with him, but he put his hands together and nodded. I was 93 and didn’t know what to do. An Indian friend told me the correct greeting—namaste. It means “I bow to the divine in you”.
Later, I learned that in India, people don’t usually 94 or kiss when greeting strangers. They use namaste or a light bow. In formal situations, people are 95 and polite. But in daily life, they are friendly and easy-going.
One day, I tried to eat curry with a 96 in a restaurant. The local people looked at me and smiled. They told me that many Indians prefer to eat curry with their 97 instead of forks. I felt a little 98 at first, but soon I learned to enjoy the food in their way.
We also learned that some gestures are 99 in one culture but rude in another. For example, bumping into someone is common in some Western games, but it’s very 100 in a library.
From this activity, I knew that understanding cultural differences helps us communicate better.

Most cultures in the world have some similarities. However, there are often some big differences that go with these similarities. These 111 differences can cause some very embarrassing moments. It is something that 112 wants to experience.
My grandfather is from Italy, so I live in an environment rich in Italian culture. In Italian culture, kissing each other hello and goodbye is 113 . You’ll see family members hug and kiss each other goodbye, 114 you’ll see best friends give a kiss on the cheek. I do this all the time to my family members. 115 , one night I decided I’d try it among all my friends who are mainly Irish people and come from a strong American background. What 116 was really embarrassing.
A girl, who I have known for a long time, came up to me to say hello at a party. I gave her a hug and a 117 on the cheek. The reaction (反应) I got was something out of a comedy movie. She gave me a 118 as if to say, “Joe, what the hell was that ” All my friends began to think I 119 her past the point of friends, but in fact it was not that case. Rumours (谣言) began to spread, and I had to 120 myself. It was such a(n) 121 situation if you ask me.
I often 122 cultural differences. They’re not fun, 123 when someone from a different background misunderstands the total situation. The best thing to do is to try and understand the other person’s cultural norms (行为规范), and try not to 124 them. However, every person is different and it’s fairly difficult to read a person when you’re just meeting them. As life goes on, we’ll have the 125 to learn about other people and their cultures.

本文讲述了美国学生在中国为期八天的交流之旅中的经历与感悟，展现了文化交流的意义，以及这次旅行对他们的影响。
1．从社交媒体了解一个国家和亲身经历是有很大不同的。这就是美国学生在为期八天的交流之旅中所发现的。
此处表示美国学生通过亲身经历印证了这一差异，应用discovered“发现”。forgot“忘记”、prepared“准备”、received“收到”均不符合语境。
2．2024年3月24日至3月31日，15名美国学生在中国进行了一次文化交流。
前文提到“eight-day exchange journey”，此处对应cultural exchange“文化交流”，exchange符合语境。class“班级”、party“派对”、interview“采访”均不符。
3．在北京时，Sierra 尝试了豆汁。这对当地人来说甚至都是一个挑战。
豆汁味道特殊，对当地人来说都是挑战，challenge“挑战”符合语境。promise“承诺”、fight“斗争”、research“研究”均不符。
4．除了中国食物，Sierra也很喜欢北京第四中学国际校区 (BHSFIC) 的课程项目。
前文提到Sierra尝试了豆汁，此处表示“除了中国食物之外”，food“食物”符合语境。animals“动物”、books“书籍”、life“生活”均不符。
5．在中国同学的帮助下，我在课后尝试了打乒乓球。
tried out“尝试”符合“课后尝试打乒乓球”的语境。blow out“吹灭”、put out“扑灭”、found out“发现”均不符合语义。
6．中国学生吸引了我的目光，因为他们打得像职业运动员一样。

9．北京四中的学生李伟友在见到Michael Sosa时感到很惊讶。
后文提到李伟友原本认为美国学生更注重个人发展而非学业，但Michael并非如此，因此感到惊讶，surprised“惊讶的”符合语境。bored“无聊的”、worried“担心的”、nervous“紧张的”均不符。
10．他在两方面都做得很好。
