How to Talk to Someone from a Different Background
Communicating with people from different cultures can be tricky, but these tips can help:
⒈Be curious, not judgmental: If someone does something you don't understand (like bowing instead of shaking hands), ask politely. Say, "I noticed you bow when greeting—could you tell me about that?" instead of thinking, "That's weird."
⒉Watch your body language: Eye contact means respect in some cultures, but rudeness in others. In many Asian cultures, it's polite to look down slightly when talking to elders.
⒊Avoid idioms: Phrases like "it's raining cats and dogs" confuse non-native speakers. Say "it's raining heavily" instead.
⒋Listen more than you talk: People love to share their culture. Ask open questions like, "What's a traditional food in your country?" and really listen to the answer.
Remember, everyone makes mistakes—just laugh them off and learn. The goal isn't to be perfect, but to show respect.
(1)、What should you do if someone does something you don't understand?A、Laugh at them. B、Ignore it. C、Ask politely about it. D、Tell them it's wrong.(2)、In many Asian cultures, how should you act when talking to elders?A、Make strong eye contact. B、Look down slightly. C、Shake their hands firmly. D、Hug them.(3)、Why should you avoid idioms when talking to non-native speakers?A、They are too formal. B、They are too rude. C、They can be confusing. D、They are too old-fashioned.(4)、What kind of questions should you ask to learn about someone's culture?A、Closed questions (yes/no answers). B、Open questions. C、Personal questions about their family. D、Questions about their salary.(5)、What's the goal of cross-cultural communication according to the passage?A、To be perfect. B、To show respect. C、To teach others your culture. D、To avoid making mistakes. -

Smart Homes: Convenience vs. Privacy
Smart homes are becoming more common—with voice-controlled lights, fridges that order milk, and cameras that watch your house. They make life easier, but are they worth the risk?
Proponents say smart homes save time and energy. For example, you can turn off lights from your phone if you forget, or set the AC to turn on before you get home. Some even help the environment: smart thermostats adjust temperatures to use less electricity.
But critics worry about privacy. Every device collects data—like when you're home, what you eat, or what shows you watch. Hackers could steal this information, or companies might sell it. In 2023, a smart camera company was caught sharing user videos without permission.
So, are smart homes good? It depends on how you use them. Experts suggest choosing devices with strong security, reading privacy policies, and turning off features you don't need. Like most technology, they're tools—whether they help or harm depends on us.
(1)、What is a benefit of smart homes according to the passage?A、They are very cheap. B、They save time and energy. C、They never break down. D、They are difficult to use.(2)、How can smart thermostats help the environment?A、They use more electricity. B、They adjust temperatures to use less electricity. C、They turn off lights automatically. D、They order milk for you.(3)、What is a privacy concern about smart homes?A、Devices collect too much data, which could be stolen or sold. B、They are too loud and disturb neighbors. C、They are difficult to set up. D、They cost too much money.(4)、What happened to a smart camera company in 2023?A、It went out of business. B、It invented a new type of smart camera. C、It was caught sharing user videos without permission. D、It won an award for best security.(5)、What do experts suggest for using smart homes safely?A、Never use them. B、Buy the cheapest devices. C、Choose devices with strong security and read privacy policies. D、Share your data with companies to get better service. -

Should Friends Be the Same or Different?
People often argue about whether friends should be similar or different. In my opinion, both types are good—they just bring different things to the relationship.
Similar friends are like mirrors. They share your hobbies, so you always have things to do together. My best friend Lisa and I both love hiking. Every weekend, we explore new trails, and because we think alike, we rarely fight. But sometimes, we get stuck in our ways—neither of us wants to try new activities.
Different friends, on the other hand, are like windows. They show you new worlds. My friend Mark is totally different: he loves reading while I love sports, and he's quiet while I'm outgoing. At first, we struggled—he thought my music was too loud, and I thought his books were boring. But now, he's teaching me to play chess, and I'm teaching him to play basketball. We're both growing.
The best friendships, I think, have a little of both. You need someone who gets you, and someone who challenges you. That's how you become a better person.
(1)、What does the writer compare similar friends to?A、Windows. B、Mirrors. C、Books. D、Trails.(2)、Why do the writer and Lisa rarely fight?A、They have the same hobbies. B、They are both quiet. C、They like different things. D、They never go hiking together.(3)、What is Mark like?A、He loves sports and is outgoing. B、He loves reading and is quiet. C、He loves hiking and is loud. D、He loves music and is funny.(4)、What are the writer and Mark doing now?A、They're teaching each other new things. B、They're fighting more than before. C、They're avoiding each other. D、They're planning to move to the same city.(5)、What does the writer think is the best kind of friendship?A、Friends who are exactly the same. B、Friends who are completely different. C、Friends who are a little similar and a little different. D、Friends who live close to each other. -

A Taste of Two Cultures
Last summer, I visited my cousin in Toronto. She's Canadian-born with Chinese parents, and her home was a perfect mix of two cultures.
Every morning, we had "breakfast fusion": congee with soy milk (a Chinese classic) alongside maple syrup pancakes (a Canadian favorite). Her mom taught me to make dumplings, but with a twist—they added cheese inside! At first, I thought it would taste strange, but it was delicious.
In the evenings, her dad told stories about his first years in Canada. He said the hardest part was not the language, but the little things: like how Canadians say "sorry" even when it's not their fault, or how they wait in line patiently everywhere. "Cultures are like recipes," he smiled. "They're all good—just different ingredients."
One weekend, we went to a Chinese-Canadian festival. There were lion dances and poutine (french fries with cheese curds) stands. I tried speaking Cantonese with some elders, and even though my pronunciation was bad, they praised me warmly.
By the end of the trip, I realized that cultural mixing isn't about losing your own culture—it's about adding new flavors to your life.
(1)、What did the writer have for breakfast in Toronto?A、Only Chinese food. B、Only Canadian food. C、A mix of Chinese and Canadian food. D、Food from other countries.(2)、What was special about the dumplings the writer learned to make?A、They were very big. B、They had cheese inside. C、They were sweet instead of salty. D、They were shaped like stars.(3)、What was the hardest part for the cousin's dad in Canada?A、Learning English. B、Finding a job. C、Getting used to small cultural habits. D、Missing his family in China.(4)、What did the writer do at the Chinese-Canadian festival?A、Performed a lion dance. B、Sold poutine at a stand. C、Tried speaking Cantonese with elders. D、Took photos of famous people.(5)、What did the writer learn from the trip?A、Cultural mixing means losing your own culture. B、Different cultures are like different recipes—all good but different. C、Canadian culture is better than Chinese culture. D、It's hard to make friends with people from different cultures. -

During my exchange program in Japan last year, I experienced many cultural differences, especially in food and communication.
On my first day, my host family invited me to a traditional meal. The mother 1 me how to use chopsticks properly. "It's not just about picking up food," she said. "It shows respect for the cook." I tried hard but kept dropping the food. Everyone laughed2 , not at me, which made me feel better.
Another time, I wanted to 3 my thanks for their kindness. In my country, we often give big hugs, but here, a small bow was 4 . My host sister noticed my confusion and 5 explained: "Bowing deeper means more respect."
We also cooked together. They taught me to make sushi. The6 was tricky—spreading the rice evenly on the seaweed. "Patience is key," the father said. I 7 for hours, and finally made a few good pieces.
These experiences taught me that cultural understanding 8 more than just knowing facts. It's about being open-minded and 9 to learn. By the end of the program, I could use chopsticks easily and even 10 simple conversations in Japanese.
