If you stay in an Indian home, bring something from your home country as a gift. Although it is not expected, it would be much pleasant. But find out the social position and religion of your hosts before you choose the gift.  A bottle of foreign whisky would be the perfect gift for some, and not at all suitable for others.  If you know the people you are going to stay with, it is a good idea to ask them what they would like.  Some things are just not available in India.

It is not necessary to bring a gift when you are invited to dinner. After all, you are the honored guest. Several years ago, it was almost unpleasant to bring sweets or a bottle of wine.  But this is not true today.  Nowadays it is a custom which is becoming popular with many Indians.  Fruit, flowers or a box of sweets are perfect gifts, and will make no one unhappy.

In all classes of society, both in the city and in the country, food is only taken to the mouth with the right hand. This is the most important part of the etiquette of eating in India. When you watch Indians eat something, you will see that they keep their left hands on their legs.

If you want to find a conversation topic in India, talk about families. Another useful subject to start with is cricket.  But once you get to know a person better, any topic is acceptable. Indians love to talk about politics and religion. They enjoy heated discussions. Conversation is an art form and people take the time to really talk.

2Indians love interesting topics and they          .

3The underlined part in the first paragraph means         .

Ayou can buy these things easily in India

Bthey don’t make these things in India

          Cthey never avoid these things in India

Dyou can’t get these things in India

4According to the passage, all of the following are true except that         .

Ayour choice of gift will depend on who your hosts are

Bplaying cricket with left hand is popular in India

CIndians normally use their right hand for food they eat

DIndians like to talk about serious things with guests

Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world, and at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目地)and leave no mark.

 Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in faraway parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.

Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.   ks5u

Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to making sure a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and smallest influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.   ks5u

In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and regard them as their good friends. Before they keep them at their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them medical exams so that they won’t carry disease . They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s homes, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find almost every family has a bird feeder on the tall tree in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcome to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and you can enjoy many kinds of beautiful birds at the windows. Nobody is allowed to kill any animals in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.

    People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family members are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own living. Then the old parents will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.
