　　I’ve traveled much and seen mankind in various forms , but I’m always more surprised by our similarities than our differences．We drink , laugh , eat , sleep and die in more or less the same way everywhere．That we manage to be different at all interests me．And soon these differences too will disappear．We will become one worldwide nationality－and perhaps the better for that－speaking one language , wearing one style of clothes , eating the same food , driving the same car , with the same modern comforts in our homes and the same programs on our television sets．

　　This was made clear to me recently on my last trip abroad , when I was travelling in a place that is far away in North African desert．I was coming near to an old castle , which I wanted to see , when suddenly I felt a man behind me．I turned and saw a tribesman (部落人) pointing a gun at me．Neither of us could speak each other’s language．I waved my hands wildly , asking for an explanation , but he just pushed me forward towards a tent standing nearby．I went in , never expecting to see daylight again．The man followed me in．Then he put down his gun on the floor and got a teapot out of his bag．A smile spread across his face．“Tea?”he asked．

　　A cup of tea! I who had feared for my life was being offered a cup of tea! Two thousand miles from home the habit was the same , and the teapot was one of British made．I was filled with relief (放松)．I felt at that moment that we could solve all the world’s problems by dissolving (溶解) them with sugar in a simple cup of tea!
