三、综合提升
Ⅳ. 阅读还原
An old saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”I learned the meaning of this when I stayed in Russia.
One day I invited some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow. My guests and I were excited about our meeting. We had a lively talk until the waiter told me that we were too loud. We lowered our voices. 18. The waiter came over to us two more times with the same message.
How bad an impression we must have left on the local people! In China,it's natural and important for a host to make a lively atmosphere(气氛). However, in Russia and Western countries, having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice low. You need to be polite to others.
I felt bad about this. Even though we tried our best, it was very difficult to fight against habits.
19. My Russian friend Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home. I asked him why he did this. “Aha,” Andrey said. “In Russia, people always spend about a minute going over things and plans in their minds before leaving home. 20. ”
Finding the differences between cultures is so much fun. 21.
