world live. One thing travelers don't of-ten think about before traveling is
how other cultures bathe ( take a bath). And bathrooms in many countries
may be different from the kind you are used to.
In the United States , most people take a shower once a day in the
morning. The showerhead is usually mounted on the wall and cannot be
moved. The bather simply stands under the water, gets wet, scrubs (撩) with
soap and often a washcloth , and then rinses off(洗掉) .
Children often take a bath each night and enjoy playing with small toys
such as boats and rubber ducks. Many adults, especially women, enjoy a
relaxing bath to get rid of stress at the end of the day.
It is important to remember that when you take a shower or bath in the
United States, you should be careful to keep the water inside the bathtub or
shower. Unlike bathrooms in many countries, there is no drain (下水道 )in the floor. If water gets on the floor it cannot go anywhere and must be
cleaned up with a towel or mop. It can also cause problems for the floor. So be careful.
B. children often bathe before going to bed at night
C. many women take quite some time to have a bath in the evening
D. Americans bathe in the same way as in some other countries
B. Americans don't clean the floor after bathing at home
C. problems will appear if you bathe with too much water in the bathtub in
the US
D. Americans enjoy traveling in the world

Each year several thousand people are killed on the road in Great Britain. Every year between one and
two hundred thousand people are injured, or killed in road accidents.
If you are in England and if you listen to the eight o'clock news from BBC, you will often hear news of
road accidents. You may hear something like this" On last Monday evening, at about twenty minutes to
ten, a cyclist was knocked down by a truck at crossing of Oak Road and High Street in Croydon. The
cyclist has died from his injuries. Anyone who saw the accident please communicate (联系) with New
Scotland Yard, telephone number Whitehall one, two, one, two. "

In Breat Britain traffic: keeps on to the left. Motor-cars, trucks, buses and cyclists must all keep to the
left side of the road. In most other countries traffic keeps to the right.

that the road is clear, that there is nothing coming, it is safe to cross the road. If you see small children, or
very old people, or blind people, waiting to cross the road, it is kind act to help them to cross the road in
safety.
