人教新目标版九年级Unit10 You’re supposed to shake hands. Section B同步练习

— I can. It's a(n)  (full) bag.

— Yes, it is.

—Try again! It's only         difficult.

— Yes, I studied three. But I have forgotten all        a few words of each.

Hello, I'm Li Ming. I have studied in the UK for nearly two years now. But I (remember) my first few weeks of living in a different country forever.

The Food

I'll never forget the first food that I (taste) at school in England. We had this soup and it tasted of nothing at all. In China, our food is salty, but we like it because the salt (make) it taste nice. A friend advised me (try) some cheese. It was really sour.

Customs

In China when you meet someone for the first time, you shake hands. I was so (surprise) when my friend's mother gave me a kiss when I left his house. I felt so embarrassed and my face (go) red.

Transport

When I want to go anywhere in China, I just take my bicycle. Here in England, I have to get a bus everywhere. The buses  (not stop) automatically like they do in Beijing. You have to put your hand out, ring the bell or press the signal button.

Socialising(社交)

I remember when I went around to a friend's house. In China, we often (give) people cakes as presents. The boy's mother stared at the cake. She was trying to be polite but I knew from her face that I (take) something wrong. In England, a cake is more often (give) on someone's birthday.

Tina has been invited to one of her friends' birthday party next Sunday. She is worried about this now because she has never taken part in any birthday party, and nobody can tell her something about it.

Mike's favorite is playing sports. He gets up early at 6: 00 every morning. Then he goes out to exercise by the riverside. He runs along the river for nearly half an hour, and then takes a walk for a few minutes. He goes back home for breakfast at 7: 30. But he always feels weak after morning exercise.

Jeff is interested in the computer. His parents bought him a Dell computer last month. He wants to surf the Internet. But he heard that there are many terrible things for kids on the Internet. His parents don't have the knowledge about this.

Linda's parents will be away from China on business for more than half a year very soon. She can't go with them because she has to go to school. She will be at home alone. Nobody will take care of her, and she can't do chores herself.

Vera is a clever girl. She does well in her studies. But Vera doesn't like playing with her classmates, and she feels bored when her classmates ask her questions about studies. So she can't get along well with her classmates.

A. Don't give your personal information such as your address, telephone number, etc. on the Internet without your parents' permission. Never agree to get together with someone you “meet” online and never send a person your picture or anything else without first checking with your parents.

B. On the day of the party, make sure you arrive on time and show that you're happy to be there. Wear something suitable. Greet your friend with a “Happy Birthday” and hand over the gift. Make sure you have put a card with your name on it.

C. Always smile, so people don't think you are serious and hard to get along with. Be polite and modest. If you are rude, people will not like you. If people have troubles, you help them. Then, when you have troubles, they will help you, too.

D. Parents should get the kids to do their chores around the house. If their clothes need washing, they wash them themselves. Let the kids prepare their own meals. Let them clean their rooms, cook for themselves, wash the dishes, etc.

E. Let's say that the last time you eat something at night is at 6 or 7 pm (just an example). The following day, you don't eat breakfast but wait until you finish sports—you've gone many hours with nothing in your stomach. Your body has to work hard. It's not good. What's more, consider reducing the time and strength of your morning exercise.
