Question

【題目】 Everywhere in the world there are different ways of behaving. When we meet someone, everything we say and do expresses our cultural background. So if you want to get on with someone from another culture, it helps to understand something about these differences.

Even how we stand depends on our culture. English people talk to each other at an average(平均) distance of 130cm, while Italians chat at an average distance of 80cm. So Italians can think that English people are unfriendly because they stand too far away! And English people can think that Italians are too close.

Touching is also cultural. The French touch much more than Americans. A French couple may touch 100 times in half an hour while an American couple may only touch twice! And French teenagers touch each other much more than American teens.

【解析】

本篇文章難度適中，主要講述不同的國(guó)家有不同的文化，如果我們要和其他人相處時(shí)，我們應(yīng)該理解文化間的不同。

【1】翻譯題。we say and do作定語(yǔ)修飾everything，cultural background文化背景。故填當(dāng)我們遇到某些人時(shí)，我們所說(shuō)和所做的一切都表現(xiàn)了我們的文化背景。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Canada中的If you are invited for a meal, you should arrive on time—not early or late可知，在加拿大，吃飯時(shí)要準(zhǔn)時(shí)到。故填Canada。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)When eating out, Keep both hands on or above the table可知，在法國(guó)，當(dāng)在外面吃飯時(shí)，雙手放在桌子上或者高于桌子，故填When eating out, keep both hands on or above the table

【4】根據(jù)English people talk to each other at an average(平均) distance of 130cm, while Italians chat at an average distance of 80cm可知，英國(guó)人談話時(shí)，平均距離是130厘米，而意大利人談話時(shí)，平均距離是80厘米，所以意大利人站得比英國(guó)人近；根據(jù)And French teenagers touch each other much more than American teens可知，法國(guó)青少年相互接觸的次數(shù)比美國(guó)青少年多，即美國(guó)青少年相互接觸的次數(shù)比法國(guó)人少。根據(jù)兩空后的than可知，用比較級(jí)，故填closer和less。
