Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.

  When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding (婚礼) and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address (地址) Unknown. ” I had no idea how to find Linda.

  Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share (分享) happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

  One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but J still wrote to her.

  She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ”

  Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

  Living in a foreign culture can be exciting,but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的).A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences.They agreed that miscommunications were always possible,even over something as simple as“yes”and“no”.

  On her first day in Micronesia,an island in the Pacific,Lisa thought people weren't paying any attention to her.The day was hot.She went into a store and asked,“Do you have cold drinks?”The woman there didn't say anything.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”.

  Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria,a country in Europe.She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage.She asked the waiter,“Do you have cabbage today?”He nodded his head.Jan 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.They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head.He thought some people had not understood,so he explained again.When he asked again,they did the same thing.He soon found out 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”.
