We are living in a time when the globe is becoming a “village”. People travel around the world for sightseeing, studying, working or volunteering. Perhaps in the near future, you will also become one of those people.

Spending time in a foreign country is an exciting and life-changing experience. You see different scenery, taste exotic (異國的) food and meet people with various backgrounds. And the most important thing of all, you explore and even become a part of the local culture.

Your stereotypes (成見) are broken down. You find French people are not always “romantic”. Americans don’t eat McDonalds all the time. And you won’t get malaria (瘧疾) from a mosquito (蚊子) bite in Africa.

However, culture shock may hit you. Things you take for granted (想當然) at home may no longer be that way in a foreign country. Not every body thinks like you or does things the way you’ve always done. Their tea tastes different. They don’t talk excitedly in restaurants. Some people do not care much about your life, so you may even feel they are a little cold. It is not better or worse. It is just different. What you can do is to take in the differences, while trying to be respectful and humble (謙虛的). You open up your mind a little more each time, you become a better person.

任務1:閱讀短文(B),根據(jù)英文釋義及首字母提示拼寫單詞。

1.e_________ the knowledge and skill that you have gained through doing sth.

2.f_________ in or from a country that is not your own

3.任務2:閱讀短文(B),完成同義句轉(zhuǎn)換,每空一詞。

You open up your mind a little more each time, you become a better person.

_______ you open up your mind a little more each time, you _______ become a better person.

任務3:根據(jù)短文(B)內(nèi)容回答問題。

4.What kind of experience is spending time in a foreign country?

___________________________

5.What may be your stereotypes before you travel to France and America ?

___________________________

6.Does everybody think like you or do things the way you’ve always done?
