Question

【题目】 We are living in a time when the earth is becoming a"village". Each of us takes pride in being one of the “villagers” because people can travel around the world more often than before.

Spending time in a foreign country is an exciting and life-changing experience. You see different sceneries, taste different food and meet people with different backgrounds. And the most important thing of all, you explore and even become a part of the local culture.

However, culture shock may hit you. Things you believe at home may no longer be that way in a foreign country. Not everybody thinks like you or does things the way you’ve always done.

Their tea tastes different. They don’t talk loudly in restaurants. Some might not care much about your life, so you may even feel they are sometimes cold. It is not better or worse. It is just different. Then what you can do in a foreign country is to take in the differences. Each time you open up your mind a little more,you become a better person.
