People from different countries greet each other differently. Learn the following greeting customs in different cultures, and make sure you greet people in the right way next time.
Kenya In some tribes (部落) of Kenya, people welcome visitors by dancing the “Adamu”—a jumping dance. The dancers often try to make the highest jump. Sometimes, they also offer a mixture of cow blood and milk to visitors.
The Republic of Korea It is respectful to bow when greeting each other in the Republic of Korea. When shaking someone's hand,it is polite to support the right forearm (前臂) with the left hand. However, women in the Republic of Korea do not shake hands with Western men;instead, they bow slightly.
Ghana In a social situation, it's polite to greet everyone. A handshake is used in greeting, and the palm must directly touch the palm of the other. It's considered impolite to touch the back of the hand.

Last summer, our school organized an international camp for students from six countries. At first, many of us felt excited but also nervous. Lin Tao asked, “How can we communicate well with people from different cultures ”
During the opening ceremony, each group presented their traditional festivals. Maria from Mexico introduced the Day of the Dead with colourful drawings, and then Yusuf used music to explain Egyptian celebrations. Their creative ideas impressed everyone. Our Chinese team worked together. Some made paper cuttings, and others told stories about the Mid-Autumn Festival.
We learned important lessons about cultural differences. At a shared meal, Tom accidentally passed food with his left hand. Ahmed kindly explained that this was not polite in his culture. Instead of feeling upset, Tom thanked him. This taught us to respect different customs.
One of the best activities was the “Culture Shock Debate”. Students discussed topics like school uniforms and holiday traditions. Li Mei, who used to be shy about her dialect (方言), confidently and proudly shared the New Year's customs in her country.
By the end of the camp, we understood that learning about different cultures wasn't about being perfect. It was about being open-minded and respectful. As the saying goes, “The world is a book, and those who don't travel read only one page.”
58.Why were the students nervous at first
A.Because they didn't like summer camps.
B.Because they preferred staying at home.
C.Because they didn't want to make new friends.
D.Because they were worried about communicating with foreigners.
59.How did Maria introduce the Day of the Dead
A.With colourful drawings. B.By singing a song.
C.By writing an article. D.Through a dance.
60.Put the events about the international camp into the correct order according to the passage.
a.Li Mei shared the New Year's customs in her country.
b.Maria introduced the Day of the Dead.
c.Many of the students felt excited but also nervous.
d.Tom accidentally passed food with his left hand.
e.Yusuf used music to explain Egyptian celebrations.
A.a-c-b-d-e B.c-b-e-d-a
C.d-c-a-b-e D.e-c-b-d-a
61.How was Li Mei when sharing customs during the “Culture Shock Debate”
A.More embarrassed. B.Angry at her dialect.
C.Proud and confident. D.Uninterested in traditions.
62.What is the main lesson the students learned from the camp
A.Traveling is expensive.
B.People should avoid cultural differences.
C.Respect and openness are important in communicating.
D.Only perfect communication matters in cross-cultural communication.

Dear Tom,
It's fantastic to write to you. Life in New Zealand is really amazing. At first, I was a bit nervous as everything was so new, but now I'm getting used to it and even starting to love this place.
One of the most interesting things here is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”. Two people touch their noses and foreheads and close their eyes. This is an old tradition from the Maori (毛利人), who were the first people to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still do this when they meet. It was a bit strange for me at first, but now I find it quite meaningful.
Besides the Hongi, there are other important manners here. Firstly, when dining in New Zealand, it's polite to wait for everyone to be served before starting to eat. Also, keeping your elbows off the table is considered good manners. And if you're at a formal dinner, using cutlery to eat properly is important. People here value these dining manners a lot. Secondly, when you're at a social occasion, respecting personal space is key. People here usually keep a certain distance when talking to others, or they might feel uncomfortable. Also, listening carefully and not interrupting when others are speaking is a sign of good manners.
I hope you can come here someday and experience all these wonderful things yourself.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Julia
63.What was an interesting thing in New Zealand for Julia
A.Using “Hongi” to greet people.
B.Going hiking in New Zealand's forests.
C.Eating traditional Maori food every week.
D.Learning to speak the Maori language daily.
64.What is a polite action when having a meal in New Zealand
A.Using your hands to take food in formal dinners.
B.Leaving the table before others finish eating.
C.Starting to eat as soon as your food is served.
D.Keeping your elbows away from the table.
65.What may the underlined word “cutlery” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Tools for cooking meals.
B.Tools for eating meals.
C.Boxes for storing food.
D.Dishes for serving food.
66.What might make New Zealanders feel uncomfortable in social situations
A.Standing too close to them.
B.Listening carefully to others.
C.Keeping a distance while talking.
D.Talking quietly in the library.
67.What can we know from Julia's letter
A.Julia still finds the “Hongi” greeting strange now.

C.Dining manners are not important in New Zealand.

There are many holidays and festivals in the world. Kids have Children's Day. Dads have Father's Day. Mums have Mother's Day. But do our grandparents have a special festival Yes, they do!
The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for the elderly (老人) in China. It started very long ago. The festival is on lunar (农历的) September 9th. On this day, people show love and respect to their grandparents.
There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an elder enters a room, everyone stands up. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a thing to an elder, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to the elderly on a crowded subway or bus.
Respecting the elderly is a tradition in China. That's because the Chinese know that old people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old.
In Western countries, however, old people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”. They'd rather do everything themselves. After retirement (退休), they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well.
Westerners respect their old people too. Usually, seniors don't have to buy tickets for trains or buses. They are given discounts (折扣) in stores and restaurants. But Western seniors don't often live with their children. They live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents' home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.
68.What can we know about the Double Ninth Festival from the passage
A.It has a long history.
B.It falls on September 9th.
C.It is a festival for family to get together.
D.People around the world celebrate it to show respect to the elderly.
69.What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A.Hobbies. B.Part-time jobs.
C.Western countries. D.The elderly in Western countries.
70.How are Western old people and Chinese old people different
A.Chinese old people live alone.
B.Western people are proud of being old.
C.Western old people don't have to buy tickets for trains.
D.Chinese old people would rather do everything themselves.
71.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.Different ways of China and Western countries treating the elderly.
B.Differences between people in China and Western countries.
C.Why to show respect to old people.
D.Great presents for the elderly.
72.What would be the best structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.
　　B)请先阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中,使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。
Do you know how to give and receive gifts 73.　　　　 If you know them, you can avoid mistakes.
74.　　　　 Gifts are not only for birthdays or holidays. If you visit someone in Russia, you must bring a small gift, like a box of chocolates. But in Canada,don't bring a gift when you drop by. It may make them uncomfortable.
Second, the gift itself matters. When giving flowers to an English person, never give 13 flowers. 75.　　　　 You can give 10 or 12 instead. If you are in France, don't give wine easily. The French love their own wine. Cheap wine may make them unhappy. 76.　　　　
There are also customs for receiving gifts. In China, we thank people for gifts but don't open them right away. 77.　　　　 But in many other countries, it's common to open gifts at once. Your friend can see if you like it. Later, you can send a thank-you card to your friend. In Japan, people usually receive gifts with two hands to show respect. In India, using your right hand to receive gifts is polite.
One custom is the same around the world:Say “thank you” sincerely. It makes the giver happy.
A.A nice book is better.
B.We open them after guests leave.
C.First, know the right time to give a gift.
D.Thirteen is an unlucky number to them.
E.Giving money away is always welcome.
F.They prefer receiving toys rather than flowers.
G.People in different countries have different gift-giving and gift-receiving customs.

In China, an emperor built a big zoo in 1906. He called it “Zoo of All Creatures”. The ancient Greeks built zoos to study animals. Students in Greece had to visit zoos as part of their education.

One Possible Version:
Dear friends,
I'm Zhang Ming from our school's culture club. I'm excited that you'll come to join the Chinese culture experience activity. To help you fit in better, I'd like to tell you some Chinese customs.
When meeting people, you should greet elders first. Smile to your friends and shake hands with them. But don't touch others' heads casually, and never interrupt others while they're talking.
When eating, start eating after elders. Use your chopsticks gently. It's not good to hit bowls with chopsticks or make loud noises while eating.
Say “Happy New Year” during the Spring Festival. At the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can admire the moon and eat mooncakes. But don't make noises on Tomb-Sweeping Day, and don't say unlucky words during the Spring Festival.
I believe these tips will help you have a great time here. Looking forward to your arrival!
Yours,
Zhang Ming
