第15题,lee , an overseas student from China, once had a talk with his American classmate Tom.<br />lee : It really puzzles me that you Americans thank people all day long. When the teacher answers your questions, when your mother buys you a book that you need, when a wife brings her husband a cup of coffee, after a salesgirl attends you.<br />Tom: Well, when I finished my tour in China, I said "thank you"to the interpreter who accompanied me during the tour. The interpreter replied, "It' s my duty to do so. " I can' t help thinking that he means, "I had no choice but to do it , because it is my duty. Otherwise I would not have done so. "
正确资料:1)A Chinese student would always thank his/her teacher for the latter'help, but would seldom do so to his/her parents because Chinese people don't usually say" Thank you" to those who are very close.2) Saying"Thank you"is very common in American even between parents and children ,<br />husband and wife for very small and ordinary things. So they thank all day long.Both English and Chinese cultures require their members to respond to thanks. But they have different expressions. The interpreter's reply was far from the message he/she actually intended to convey.
第16题,Write a short piece on the topicifferent ways of building up relationships with friends
正确资料:uilding up a close bond with friends is important in all cultures. But different cultures have different ways of socializing.The Chinese love going to restaurants. Family, friends and colleagues all go out to eat as a way of relaxing. So Chinese restaurants are much louder and noisier places compared with those in the Western world.Although British people do social activities by going out for dinner, most people meet in pubs. They go there in the evening and sometimes during the day. Most people order wine or beer.While the meeting place is different from culture to culture. "Essentially they serve the same purpose, which is that humans need a place to come together to meet,"said Aidan Saunders, a professor of social history at the University College London. "We are sociable animals."eople from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

第25题,I have an American friend. I have invited him several times, and at long last he invited me to his home one day. He told me to get there at 3 pm. I thought we could chat and have a meal together. I gave him a Chinese calendar, a woman's scarf and a bottle of Chinese white wine.He only took out a dish of nuts, a plate of bread and a bottle of wine.After two hour's chat,I found there was no hint of a meal and said good-bye to him. He only gave me a box of chocolate as a present for the New Year.After I got home,I found the box had already been opened.I was very surprised
正确资料:1) In China, a visit to home always includes a meal. And the guest always brings a relatively rich present to the host.And the present should be well wrapped or untouched.2) In the west, a visit to home only means a meeting, not necessarily including a meal. And the present is treated not as importantly as it is in China.3) I acted in a way that was based on Chinese customs, so I felt the American way was very interesting (unusual) .
