一、阅读理解
A
Different countries have different customs. So we often say, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Here are some things that may help you.
In South Korea, you should bow when you meet someone. People bow to show good manners and respect. The deeper the bow is, the more polite you are. In the US, people shake hands when meeting each other. They usually smile and look into others’ eyes. Handshakes are gentle and last for a short time. This polite way helps people get on well. People feel warm and friendly during the talk.
In China, it’s OK to make a lot of noise in a restaurant. However, in many Western countries, restaurants are quiet places. Paying the bill is also different from country to country. In China, one person usually pays for everyone. In Western countries, if friends eat together, they usually share the bill. This is called “go Dutch”.
In some Western countries, people usually eat lunch around 1 p.m. and eat dinner around 7 p.m. In Spain, it is common to have lunch around 3 p.m. and have dinner around 10 p.m. People from Western countries usually use knives and forks to eat food. As for soup, they usually use spoons.
If you are going to have dinner in a Western family, arrive on time. It’s better for you to prepare a gift. Sit on the left side and put the handkerchief (手帕) on your legs. Please keep quiet while enjoying your food. Never speak loudly at the dinner table.

Yesterday my dad and I went hiking in the mountain. We enjoyed the fresh air and would live in the hotel room for another two days. However, I thought it’s one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life! A storm woke me up early. I got up and looked out of the window of our hotel. I listened to the thunder (雷声) and watched the lightning (闪电). It wasn’t scary at that time, but it was exciting!
But then I looked at my phone and saw on the news that a hurricane was coming. I asked my dad what a hurricane is and asked him if he knew what to do. He told me not to worry because a hurricane is just a big storm. We stayed in our hotel room and by the afternoon, there was even more rain. And the winds were getting stronger and stronger.
In the evening, a hotel worker asked all the visitors to go to the dining hall. When we were all inside, we put tables in front of the doors and then we got down on the floor together in the corner. We waited and waited. The winds got louder, the rain became heavier and then it suddenly went dark. I was so startled that I held (抓住) my dad’s hand. We stayed there for a long time.
Finally, morning arrived. The storm was over. I felt so happy that we were safe. I hope I will never have a night like that again.

It brings us lots of good things. We can get close to nature, help people in villages and relax ourselves away from busy city life. We also learn new life skills and make new friends.
I love this kind of travel. I hope I can take part in volunteer trips during my holiday to help more people and enjoy beautiful nature.
