In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的 . No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .

  Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .

  In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.

  In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult (成人) ——it's just not done in Thailand .

阅读下面短文,完成 55 至 60 题。

The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and is also called the Double Ninth Festival. As both the month and the day are nine, it got this name. To celebrate the day,

people usually climb mountains and enjoy chrysanthemum (菊花), so the festival is also known as

the Height Ascending (登高) Festival or the Chrysanthemum Festival. In China, nine has the similar

pronunciation with the word “forever”, meaning long life. So the Chinese government set the day as the Seniors’ Day.

The festival has a history of over 2000 years. During the Warring States Period, there was the Chongyang Festival. But it was only celebrated in the imperial palace. From the Han Dynasty, it began to be popular among the common people. The name of the Chongyang Festival first appeared in the Three Kingdoms Period.

As September has the clear sky and fresh air, it is a very good time to climb the mountain. There will be a happy sense of excitement by climbing the mountain in this season. Also, it is good for health. Since the Western Han Dynasty, it has been the custom of climbing on the Chongyang Festival.

On the day, enjoying chrysanthemum is very popular as the flower means long life. Drinking chrysanthemum is regarded as a way to prevent disasters and bad things. Inserting Zhuyu and

sticking chrysanthemum are also traditions to avoid the bad as (B) they have special smells which can repel (驱逐) insects and keep out the cold.

Eating Chongyang cakes is another tradition on the festival. There is no fixed way of the cake but

layers show people could do well in everything.

This morning, my teacher introduced a new student to us. He said that Marco, the new student, was from Mexico and he didn’t know English. Clearly, there was a nervous look on his face. Seeing it, I thought of my first day in this school when I moved from Mexico to Utah. It was hard to live in a place that had a different language and different ways of doing things. I was a little nervous because I had trouble understanding the teacher. 

When school started, I sat in the back so I wouldn’t draw any attention. Miss Bolling, my new teacher, asked us to introduce ourselves. I went up to a boy named Ivan and told him my name and started talking to him in Spanish. Ivan knew Spanish so he was the only one I could talk to. Ivan helped the teacher translate (翻译) what she was saying to me.

During the lunch break, I didn’t want to go outside. But the rule was that no student in the school could stay inside during the break. After lunch, Miss Bolling took me out and gave me a soccer ball. Then, I started playing it by myself. I was good at soccer, and it attracted (吸引) Ivan. He came to me and asked me if I wanted to play soccer with him and his friends. I told him yes and when the game was over, he introduced me to his friends. After that, we all became good friends.
