If you travel around the world , you will be surprised to find just how different the foreign customs 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 apparently shaking his head at another and assume that he is disagreeing . But in many parts of India a shake of the head is a gesture that shows agreement of acceptance .

Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty . In that country you shake your head to indicate “yes” —a nod indicates “no”. The Arabs are known for their hospitality . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula , you will find that any drinking vessel （容器，器皿）is repeatedly refilled as soon as you drink it up .

In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone , even at an important meeting . Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand , however , could cause offence . It is too informal an attitude for such an occasion . Also when in Thailand you are not supposed to touch the head of an adult —it’s just not done . In Japan , it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home . In Europe such attitudes are disappearing .

Customs vary from country to country . Visitors may be at a loss as to what to do in a foreign environment . In such circumstances , the golden rule to follow is : When in Rome , do as the Romans do .

A．Thailand B．India C Arabic peninsula D．Bulgaria

61．In which country , if someone shakes his head at another , it shows that he agrees or accepts ?

B．to touch the head of an adult

C．That men plan evening entertainment and leave their wives at home

D．To drain the glass in your hand

C．to visit Rome only D．to do as the natives do

One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 21 the faults already found out in the education system as a whole — such as child-centred learning, the “discovery” method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils — there have been several serious 22 which have a direct effect on language teaching.

The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of English 23 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.

Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 24 that the most able groups are 25 and are bored while the least able are lost and 26 bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.

Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 27 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have 28 it a few years later. Because they never need it, they do not practice it.

Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 29 modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop 30 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.

I heard a shotgun blast．I must have been hit because I was down and felt it in my stomach．I was lying on the ground of a parking a lot in the dark，scared，hurt and alone，not knowing if I would live or die．It seemed so real，ever thought it was a dream．

This dream，after my father’s death，help me understand the shock and physical hurt I was going through．I bad never experienced the loss of someone I loved．It was as if a part of me had died．

I soon began to receive and experience the incredible healing(康复)power of love．It was an honest outpouring from the people who surrounded me，wrote letters and called．One expression of sympathy I will always remember came from my friend Diana who lost her mother to cancer when she was a teenager．Soon after we returned home from Dad’s funeral there was a knock at the door．There Diana stood holding the most beautiful bouquet of flower．She put her hand over her heart and said two words，“My mother．”We didn’t need to talk．I knew she was telling me about the love she lives on． She knew how I was feeling and wanted to share this time with me．

During this time，my tears would come as easily as the memories of Dad．I believe tears are like holy water．They flow from the well of our hearts, where we hold our feelings．I stayed with my sadness．I shared it with others and received great comfort because they too had sadness．

My mother said she gardened with her grief．Her yard was never more beautiful than the year my father died．I have learned that our sadness ennobles us as humans．It means we have loved deeply．It is this love that will never die．I wrote about this in a poem the summer after my Dad died．

MY FATHER

I think I am letting him go．

It is not that my love is diminished

or that I miss him less．

It is only that the sun is up

and there is no milk

in the refrigerator

and the bunny got out

of the cage

And is eating my red geraniums．

I think I can letting him go．

But sometimes at night

Before I go to sleep

I fill the tears

fill up my eyes

and run down my cheeks．

I do not think I will ever

let him go．

but he gone．
