13．It was midday when I got the call that my grandfather was not well and he was quickly getting worse．My family did not know how long he would stay in the world．I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him．As I drove to the hospital，I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he meant to me．Trying to fight back the tears，I wanted to stay calm when I saw him．
When I got to the hospital，I hurriedly looked for his hospital room．I found him in a semi-conscious state（半清醒状态）．On my knees，I said sofly，"Hello，Grandpa．"
Still feeling shy，I decided not to leave his bedside without letting him know．While I asked about how he was，he told me，"I'll be fine，Henry．"although we both knew that wasn't true．Then he asked me with a smile how I was doing．
Hearing what my grandpa said，I was much moved．I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him．As I found all the courage （勇气） I hadI hold his hand tightly．I cried out，"Grandpa．I just want to let you know how much I love you．I hope you already know that yet I just want to make sure．"By this time，tears were rolling down my face．All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know，became free．
Smilingly，he said，"I know．Thank you for telling me that．All I have on this planet is my family and my love for them．If there is anything I could ask of you，I want you to be good to your family，your mother，your father，and your broter．That's all I want of you．"
What I learned that day changed my whole life．
From then on，I began telling people how much I love them，care for them，and respect them．I get in touch with，for example，my babysitter，my barber，to show my appreciation．I go down into the city once a week and serve pizza to the homeless．I wake up every morning and list everything I'm thankful to in my life．

9．Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships．For example，in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure．Yet it also has other uses．A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child．A smile may show love or politeness．It can also hide true feelings．It often causes confusion （困惑） across cultures．For example，many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper．Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places although this is less common in big cities．Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places； some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough．In Southeast Asian cultures，a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings．Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile．
Our faces show emotions （情感），but we should not attempt to"read"people from another culture as we would"read"someone from our own culture．The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions．Rather，there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted．For example，in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do．When with friends，Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly．
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural backgrounds in the United States．People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others．The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different．If we judge according to our own cultural habits，we may make the mistake of"reading"the other person incorrectly．

C．Find out about their past experience
D．Figure out what they will do next

A．Cultural Differences

8．When you walk along a street in a big city in the United States，you may see clocks in most stores．Radio announcers give the correct time during the day．People there think that it is important to know the time．Most Americans have watches．They want to do certain things at certain times．They do not want to be late．
Not all people all over the world value time．Suppose you visit a certain country in South America．You would find that people living there do not like to rush ．If you had an appointment with someone，he would probably be late．He would not care for arriving on time．In some countries in South America，even the radio programs may not begin right on time，nor do the radio announcers think it important to announce the right time．Many people regard a clock as a machine．It seems to them that a person who does everything on time is controlled by a machine．They do not want a clock or any machine to have that much power over their lives．

7．The computer is a very good machine．It can do a lot of everyday work so people can use it in many ways．Writers can use it to write interesting stories．Painters can use it to draw beautiful pictures．If you like talking，you can talk to people from anywhere on the computer．You can watch movies and listen to music．Many children like playing games．Computers can help you．
In the shop，someone buys something from you．You can input the information about the sale．Then the computer can work on the information and tell you a report about shopping．In research，if you want to know about the moon，you can ask the computer and the computer can answer on the screen．In some large factories，you can't see many people．Why not？Robots can do most of work instead of people．How does the robot work？The computer tells it what to do．
