Mike is a 16-year-old boy from England and he has studied in China for about 5 years. He finds that there
are a lot of differences between China and Britain. One cultural difference is that people do different things during
lunchtime. In China, people usually have longer lunch breaks than people in Britain. Therefore, Chinese people
usually use lunchtime to have a short nap (小睡). Office workers may just sit against their chairs, close their eyes
and cover their bodies with coats. Then they will have a short nap. Students at school usually come back to the
classroom after lunch and then they fall asleep with their heads on the desks. It seems that everyone in China
needs a short nap. Because they believe they will be energetic (精力充沛的) after napping. But in Britain, taking a
nap is quite uncommon.
They usually spend their lunchtime doing sports, going shopping or talking with friends. Because of the
short lunchtime, sometimes people in Britain just finish their lunch at their office desks.
1．How long has Mike studied in China? (不超过5 个词)
2．What do Chinese people usually do during lunchtime? (不超过10 个词)
3．Why do Chinese people need a short nap? (不超过10 个词)
Last year, I went to a summer camp in Italy. Before going, I was worried about the customs—I didn’t want
to make mistakes. So I asked my Italian teacher for advice.
She told me that Italians are friendly, but there are some things to remember. For example, it’s polite to kisson both cheeks when meeting friends, but not for strangers. Also, you shouldn’t ask personal questions like “How
much money do you make?”
During the camp, I stayed with a host family. The first day, the mother cooked pasta for me. I wanted to say
it was delicious, so I said “Buonissimo!” (Very good). She smiled and gave me more food.
One evening, we went to a restaurant. I noticed that people didn’t rush to eat—they talked and laughed for
hours. I learned that Italians enjoy taking time to eat with family.
I also found that Italians love their culture. They are proud of their food, art, and history. When I asked
about famous paintings, the father talked for a long time and even took me to a local museum.
By the end of the camp, I had made many friends. I learned that as long as you are respectful and open
minded, you can get along with people from any culture.

“The taste of tea is soft, but it can reach far.” This special idea into Chinese tea culture comes from Ngoc, a
student from Vietnam. Now as a college student at Yunnan University, she has been in Kunming, Yunnan, for three
years.
During her time in China, Ngoc likes Chinese tea culture because of her strong interest in Chinese history
and culture. “I was trying to connect with Chinese society through observation (观察) and study to learn about
modern China,” she said.
As an agricultural country, Vietnam has been growing tea for more than 3,000 years. Drinking tea is a big
custom in the country. Usually, Ngoc likes to drink tea while chatting with friends. Over the years, she gradually
learned the differences in tea culture between China and Vietnam. “People usually drink Pu’er tea in Yunnan, but
in Vietnam, dark tea and black tea are more popular,” she said. Ngoc also found that in China, people like to drink
tea in nice tea shops. But in Vietnam, people often just drink tea on the street. It’s quite casual (随意的).
For her, tasting a pot of good tea, just like tasting life, is both bitter (苦涩的) and sweet. “The tea tastes
bitter at first, but when the bitterness goes away, the sweetness comes. I also hope that my life is like tea, after the
bitter comes the sweet,” she said.
1．What is Ngoc according to the passage?
2．Why does Ngoc like Chinese tea culture?3．How long has Vietnam been growing tea?
4．Where do people like to drink tea in China?
5．What does Ngoc hope?

An old saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” I learned its true meaning during my six-
month exchange study in Russia last year.
One day, I invited Chinese friends to a local restaurant in Moscow. Excited after visiting Red Square, we
chatted loudly to liven up the mood. But the waiter came over three times, asking us to speak softly. In China,
hosts usually create lively atmospheres at meals, but in Russia, people keep quiet in public eateries to show
politeness to others. That was my first taste of culture shock.
Later, more shocks followed: I often felt homesick for Chinese food, missing the spicy taste that was
nowhere to be found in Moscow; school life was different too—Russian classmates preferred independent study,
while we Chinese students liked group discussions.
These experiences taught me that cultural differences are part of life. Instead of feeling confused, we should
face them with an open mind. After all, understanding different cultures makes our world richer.
1．How long did the exchange study last?
2．Where did the writer invite his Chinese friends?
3．How many culture shocks did the writer meet during his exchange study?
4．Do you think it’s important to learn about different cultures? Why or why not? (Write 30words or more)
Friendship knows no borders (国界). Brynn Castle, an American student, made friends with a Chinese
student named Zhang Xinyi on her exchange (交流) trip to China. Here is their story.
In April this year, Castle came to China with some American students. They reached Beijing first, and then
traveled to Hebei. Before leaving, Castle visited Zhang’s home.“It is interesting to see a Chinese home. There are some differences between their house and my home,”
Castle said. “In my home, we have lots of decorations (装饰品). But Chinese people like to put some gifts or
family photos in their living room. And most of their decorations are red. They think the color can bring them
good luck.”
“Zhang’s family tried their best to make me feel at home. Before going to their house, they showed me
around their neighborhood and then took me to a restaurant for lunch,” Castle said.
When they got to Zhang’s home, Castle told many interesting stories to Zhang. The two girls found they
shared a lot of interests and had so much to talk about. As they said goodbye late in the night, Zhang gave a
Chinese history book to Castle as a gift. She hoped it could help Castle know more about China.

Labubu is a character made by a Chinese company called Pop Mart. It has sharp teeth, soft ears, and a
playful look. It is becoming very popular all over the world. In fact, more people are searching for it online than
for Hello Kitty, a famous character from Japan. This shows that China is getting better at creating new and
interesting things, not just making things in factories.
Labubu’s “ugly-cute” design is different from traditional ideas of beauty. It mixes Western stories with
Chinese legends, like the mythical (神奇的) animals from old tales. Its strange charm makes young people like it
because it shows their individuality. Some people think it looks brave, while others find it comforting. Labubu is
more than just a toy. It has become a symbol of self-expression and people like to talk about it.
Pop Mart’s marketing is helping Labubu become even more popular. Famous people like David Beckham
and K-pop stars have shared pictures of Labubu online. This has made millions of people interested in it. On
TikTok, there are 1.4 million posts about Labubu. People like to make videos of opening Labubu blind boxes and
doing DIY challenges. These blind boxes have surprise figures inside, making shopping fun and exciting.
Pop Mart is also helping Labubu become popular in different countries. They have opened stores in famous
places and made Labubu look different for each culture. For example, in Thailand, Labubu wears silk costumes
for festivals. In Spain, it has bullfighting themes. This makes Labubu a bridge between different cultures.

In the eyes of many foreigners, the Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world. And
Western hosts sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests. It is because the guest-host relationship (关系)
in China is quite different from that in some western countries.
In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese friend’s home, there is always fruit on
the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a
god. Acting according to (根据) the host’s way of doing things is usual behaviour for a guest.
My wife’s mother, a very kind Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her
house, as a non-smoker I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be
a good host, she must not do that.
In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in
their houses. At the very least, you should ask “Is it OK if I smoke?” But don’t be surprised if they say, “No, you
can’t smoke.” In my culture, if you smoke in their houses, you are a bad guest, but if they don’t allow you to
smoke in their houses, they are not rude hosts.
In a word, no matter where you are, the best way to be a good guest is to adapt to (适应) the local customs.
Just as the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
1．To many foreigners, who are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world?
2．What is usual behaviour for a guest in the west?
3．How does the writer feel when he sees some guests smoking in his wife’s mother’s home?
4．If a guest wants to smoke in an American host’s home, what question should he ask?
5．What do you think is impolite for a guest to do? (Please write your own sentence to answer)
