Question

【題目】請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，用正確的信息填空，完成表格，每空一詞。

People often say that the world is getting smaller. By this, they mean that with improved communications and trade, many countries are becoming more and more familiar with one another. There seems to be a lot of truth to this. After all, you can buy African food in Norway, or watch a French movie in China.

But countries still have the power to shock(震驚) people who visit them for the first time. For many of us, there are still real differences in the culture and habits of different nations.

The Daily Mail once reported on culture shock(文化差異) incidents(事件) from around the world. A Serbian student, Milorad Boti, was surprised while on a school trip to Germany when he found that public bathrooms were very different from those in his home country. He noticed that after using the toilet, the lid (蓋子) rotated (旋轉(zhuǎn)) as part of the toilet’s cleaning process. Milorad was impressed. “That was the best thing that happened on that school trip," he said.

Most often, however, it's eating habits that are different between cultures. The Daily Mail article mentioned the shock of an Indian man, Kaushal Barot. When visiting a Western country, he noticed people communicating in restaurants, often spending hours in them with friends. Kaushal was surprised because in India, restaurants are for one thing only: eating.

The cultural differences people notice can seem positive, negative, or simply just strange. But rather than something to be feared, these differences should be welcomed. Indeed, if the whole world were like one big country, it would be a colourless place. So let's be proud of our own culture, and at the same time, open to the cultures of others.
