In England, recently three foreign 1. came to a bus stop and waited. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked2. . No one had told them about the British customs of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is3. person to get on the bus.

Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the 4. and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is 5. to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means 6. . Nodding your head when you 7. a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty.

In that country, you shake your head to mean "yes"-a nod means "no". At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as 8. as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough, you should take the cups or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.

In Europe, it is quite usual to 9. your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble. Also , you should try to avoid(避免) touching the head of 10. adult---it's just not done in Thailand.

 

Ten-year-old Obama was one of the only three black students at his school in Honolulu, Hawaii. The young boy didn't look the same as most other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy asked him whether his father ate people. "I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan prince, but I kept asking myself who I was," said Obama.

However, 37 years later, the boy made history. Barack Obama became the first black president in U.S. history.

Obama was born on August 4, 1961. His father is a black African and his mother is a white American. This unusual background made him want to know who he was. With the help of his friends, Obama finally went to college. His hard work made him a star at Harvard University, a famous university in Massachusetts. Later, he became the third black senator(议员 ) in U. S. history.

While he was competing for U.S.president, Obama talked about his background. He called for a United States of America, but not a white America or a black America. Obama's success is a historic victory. It made Martin Luther King's dream come true. That is: A man should not be judged(判断) by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.
