10．Living in a foreign culture can be exciting，but it can also be confusing（令人迷惑的）．Some Americans who taught English in other countries recently talked about their experiences．
On her first day in Micronesia（密克罗尼西亚），an island in the Pacific（太平洋），Lisa thought people weren't paying any attention to her．It was hot．She went into a store and asked，"Do you have cold drinks？"The woman there said nothing．Lisa repeated the question．Still the woman said nothing．She later learned that the woman had answered her：She had raised her eyebrows（眉毛），which in Micronesia means"yes"．
Jane remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria（保加利亚），a country in Europe．She went to a restaurant．She asked the waiter，"Do you have cabbage today？"He nodded his head．Jane waited，but the cabbage never came．In that country，a nod means"no"．
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India．After explaining something in class，he asked his students if they understood．Some nod and others shake．He thought some students had not understood，so he explained again．When he asked again，they did the same thing．He soon knew that his students did understand．In India，people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from．You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean"yes"or"no"．

5．Most of us probably live without vegetables，but a world without chocolate？Now that would be hard!According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don't act soon．
There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage（短缺）-chocolate's growing popularity and less production of cocoa，the plant from which chocolate is made．With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate，not much can be done about the first cause．
Therefore，the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production．However，new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana，the world's largest producers，have reduced cocoa production by 40percent in the past 10years．What's worse，many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber．This way，the farmers can make more money．
To prevent more farmers from changing，researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre，in the UK，are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing．But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow．This takes a long time．
First，each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy．It is then planted in the Centre's fields，studied and tested for another two years．Only after scientists are certain that they're disease-free，will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed．
To create new stronger types of cocoa，scientists at the Control Centre are combining（结合）the best parts from different cocoa plants．Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage，there is now hope!
53．In which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent years？China and India．
54．How long does it take scientists at the Control Centre to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow？30 months．
55．If you are a cocoa farmer in Africa，will you continue to grow cocoa？Why or why not？Yes．Because it's hard for me to live in a world without chocolate．/No．Because I will change to grow easier-to-grow crops to make more money．．
