　　“Where are you going?”This question 　　1　　 by Chinese when two friends meet in the street．But if you ask Americans 　　2　　 question, they will be puzzled because they think 　　3　　“going to some place”is quite a private business 　　4　　 their own．It has 　　5　　 to do with other people．In their eyes, only a policeman will ask such a question in the street．

　　The examples 　　13　　 tell us that people in different countries 　　14　　different custom．Now we are learning foreign languages, we must pay great attention to(注意)　　15　　 customs．
