4.Like international travelers anywhere,foreigners visiting the United States from other countries can be confused by some of what they encounter.Fortunately,their fellow travelers have plenty of advice.Here are some specially good travel advice from around the world.
From Italy:
Tipping is filled with misunderstanding.Q.Is it true that I have to"force"to tip at all?A.It is not mandatory to tip,however,it is strongly recommended,because in many cases it is the only entry of workers.Generally in a restaurant,in the cab,and in many places where there is a service tip is 15%.Since the bill that will explain you exactly the city tax of 8.875%,is sufficient to double that sum,without bothering to do the calculations.In the hotel you leave two dollars per day per person cleaning.Obviously you do not leave tips in places like McDonalds or Starbucks.
From China:
Americans love to follow rules,even when no one is looking."Americans are such strict rule followers.I witnessed this once sitting on the sidelines of a high school dodge ball game.To me,it was ridiculous,a little violent,and very American.It struck me that my classmates followed the rules of the game so strictly.Even when no one noticed that a person had been hit and he could have kept playing,he voluntarily gave himself up and left the game.I was deeply impressed by how much people honored the rules even when they are not seen."
From Russia:
Gifts are not a big deal.And did you know bribery (行贿) was illegal?"Gifts:Americans do not expect them.On the contrary,an unexpected gift while conducting business can put an American in an awkward position.Such things for Americans suggest exchange of commercial.
Business gifts in the U.S.are not acceptable.Moreover,they often cause suspicion.Americans fear that they could be interpreted as a bribe,and in the United States that is strictly punishable by law."
From Japan:
Nobody is impressed by how much you can drink."In the U.S.,they do not have a sense of pride if they drink a large amount.Rather,if you drink a lot,there is a sense that you cannot manage yourself,and you can lose respect from those around you.Being drunk doesn't excuse your actions,and to drink alcohol habitually is a sign of alcoholism.Alcoholics are seen as mentally weak,and are avoided by society due to their inability to have self control."

46.What does the passage mainly tell about?B
A.Cultural diversity.
B.Cultural differences.
C.Cultural revolution.
D.Cultural construction.
47.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word"mandatory"in Para.3?A

12.The way we cook is important.In many countries,the two sources of heat used for cooking are nat-ural gas or electric stoves.The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution.The WHO finds that poor cooking,heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.
     Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home.WHO of-ficials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking,heat-ing and lighting.And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year.Of that number,the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料 ) and coal stoves.
       These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths.
 These fuels inrlude wood,coal,animal waste and so on.Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO's De-partment of Public Health,Environmental and Social Determinants of Health.He says people should  not use unprocessed coal and kerosene (煤油 ) fuel indoors.He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation.It will only pollute the outdoors."New technologies  and clean fuels can rid people of this problem."
         The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in suh-Saharan Africa depend on  solid fuels for cooking.It says huge populations in India,China and Latin American countries,such as Cuatemala and Peru,are also at risk.
         Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool.He says researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to bum fuels in a more efficient way."There are already many technologies for clean fuels available now.An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精)stove that is made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company) is now being tested out.Another interesting development is electric induction stoves."In India,you can buy an induction (屯磁) stove for about 8.AndinAfricayoucanbuyasolarlampforlessthan1.

19.October 15,1970was declared International W hite Cane Safety Day (IWCSD) for the first time by the President of the International Federation of the Blind (IFB).This date was adopted at the first convention of the IFB,held in Colombo on October 4,1969.The object of  the exercise is to enable the general public to have a better understanding of blindness and visual handicap,and to make people more aware of the white cane as a mobility aid.
Peguilly d'Herbemont was born on 25th June 1888into an old French noble family of the same name.In her youth she led the conventional and protected existence,lack of great activity,of a girl from a"good family",an existence reminding of the life of the aristocracy(贵族) before the French Revolution.She never visited a public school,but was educated by German and English governesses and nuns.Her movements were restricted and were mainly confined to the family positions in Paris and Belgium,but she spent most of her time at the castle of Charmois not far from Verdun.
In the process of helping individual blind people across the road,Peguilly d'Herbemont was made aware by narrow scrapes(刮擦) which almost led to accidents,of the dangerous situation of the visually impaired brought about by the steadily increasing traffic on the roads.She first spoke about measures to protect the blind against street hazards to her mother in 1930,but she was of the opinion that it was unfit for a lady of good society to create a public outcry and advised her to stick to the transcription of books,a popular pastime of ladies of rank at the time.
But the idea did not leave her.The urgent wish to encourage the integration(成为一体) of the blind into society by providing them with a means of moving about more freely without endangering others,and at the same time attracting the attention of passers-by ready to offer assistance,caused her to take the unusual step of writing to the editor of the Paris dailyEcho de Paris in which she suggested issuing the blind of the Paris region with white sticks similar to those used by the traffic police.
The editor took up the idea,published it in November 1930and saw to it that the relevant authorities acted with atypical speed.Thus it was that the white cane received official backing,and on 7th February 1931.
