Chinese people are caring and friendly people. They show that it is easy for them to be your 1 neighbor, to be like a brother, a sister, a mother or a father. They smile easily, and laugh and 2 with honest emotion.
In contrast, my visits to England, Germany, Canada, and 3 in my own home, the United States 4 me with the impression that people there 5 to be left alone. Their attention is 6 to those whom they know. Possibly eight out of 10 would not 7 a smile to a stranger, and they might even frown(皱眉) at your forwardness.
One of my Chinese friends, however, said to me recently, “Chinese people who visit the United States think Americans are kinder and more helpful than Chinese. Probably being friendly with foreigners is a(n) 8 characteristic of human beings. In Europe, it is difficult to 9 between Americans and the locals by facial features(特征), so they 10 you as one of their countryman...not very warmly!”
Actually, I have found that the people of European countries, such as Germany and Holland, do not 11 much time to recognize an American by certain mannerisms or dress, even if we do not 12 and show our 13 of English. I am not sure if the 14 or coolness I often encounter(遇到) in Europe is because I am an American, or whether they are the same with a stranger of their own country.
However, it seems to me that the Chinese are friendly and 15 to strangers regardless of whether they are their own countrymen or from other countries. ( )1. A. open B. close C. new ( )2. A. answer ( )3. A. living

Even after living in China for over 10 years, I still notice unexpected cultural differences especially since we had Jack. There are a lot of issues 16 (relate) to how to educate Jack. Fortunately, my Chinese wife and I pretty much have the same opinion on that, 17 that’s not a big issue.
Jack is the youngest in his class and often leads the class to do something that 18 (forbid) by the teachers. However, I don’t mind him 19 (behave) naughtily and I am even a bit proud of him 20 showing leadership skills at such a young age.
21 example can also show the culture differences. Jack is especially fond of vegetables because my Chinese mother-in-law often prepares several vegetable dishes at home. Last weekend we took Jack to a French restaurant 22 we had salad and French fries as side dishes. And guess what Jack wanted to have? He still went for 23 salad instead of the French fries. Maybe 24 eating habits will change when he gets a bit older, but at present I’m 25 (true) pleased that he gets so many vegetables every day.

Here are six of the best cabbie-recommended restaurants in Rome. Pizzeria Remo

La Fraschetta del Pesce
A new restaurant where ex-fisherman Marco Magliozzi applies a light touch to the seafood his son delivers daily from their home port of Anzio. The Wednesday 13 crudo and pasta special is great value, but the 20, 30 or 40 menus give a taste of his way with fish.

Already, the global low-carbon market is worth more than ￡3 trillion, and is set to reach ￡4tn by 2015 as more economies invest in low-carbon technologies.
