While you are travelling abroad，cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes，which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill-feeling between individuals． （36）E
●Touching Someone
（37）A In Mediterranean countries，if yo u don't touch someone's arm when talking to them or if you don't greet them with kisses or a warm hug，you'11be considered cold．But backslap（拍背）someone who isn't a family member or a good friend in Korea，and you'll make them uncomfortable．In Thailand，the head is considered sacred-never even pat a child on the head．
●Talking Over Dinner
In some countries，like China，Japan and some African nations，the food's the thing，so don't start chatting about your day's adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner．
（38）G It's not because your group is unfriendly，but because meal times are for eating，not
talking．
●Removing Your Shoes or Not
Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized，but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia，Hawaii，or the Pacific Islands and you'11be considered disrespectful．So，if you see a row of shoes at the door，start undoing your laces．（39）F
Once you are on the ground of a different country，remain highly sensitive to native behavior．（40）C And don't feel offended if something seems offensive-like queue jumping．
After all，this is a global village，and we are all very different．

A．Personal space varies as you travel the globe．    
B．Asians consider removing shoes impolite at home．    
C．Never be completely surprised by anything．    
D．The linguistic mistake means that someone is not fully expressing his idea．    
E．Look out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid them．
F．If not，keep the shoes on．    
G．You'11likely be met with silence．

7．One of the blue whales，the largest animal alive today，has been caught making an appropriately big journey through the South Pacific．The whale was first recorded near the Galapa gos Island，west of Costa Rica．Years later，that same whale was photographed off the coast of Chile in South America，a new study reports．The two places are separated by some 5，200 Kilometers （3，200miles），which means it swam farther than the distance between New York and Los Angeles．
Scientists reported the whale's mammothjourney on June 11 in"Marine Mammal Science"．
Blue whales are surprisingly difficult to study because they are found in all the world's oceans but live in deep waters．Moreover，the species nearly died out as a result of hunting a century ago．Populations are recovering thanks to the laws，but because there are so few of the animals，this speci es is still considered endangered．
To aid the species'recovery，scientists need to know more about where they travel，explains study leader Juan Pablo Torres-Florez．He is a whale researcher at Austral University of Chile in Valdivia．Understanding the whales'mi grations could help guide protection measures，he says．
In 1998，a group of scientists surveyed blue whales in the waters off islands known as the Gala pagos （Gah-LOP-ah-GOES） where they photographed the whales they saw．And，without hurting the animals，they also collected samples of some of the whales'meat which let them later look at the animals'DNA．A different group of scientists collected similar data from whales off the coast of Chile from 2002 to 2013．
To make the comparison job easier，scientists focus on the area around a whale's fin（鰭），which is on its back．"Comparing those patterns we are able to identify if a whale is the same one we saw in different places or if the same whale is sighted during different years in the same place，"he says．
One whale showed up in the Gala pagos on November 6，1998，among a group of nine animals．It appeared again in Chile on February 23，2006．The photographs and the DNA matched．The whale was nicknamed"Isabela，"a combination of Torres-Florez's daughter and the island near which it was sighted．The whale's journey was at least 5，200 kilometers（3，200miles）．That makes it the longest north-south journey ever recorded for a member of her species．
28．The underlined word"mammoth"is the nearest in meaning toB．
A．driven     B．huge     C．mysterious    D．natural
29．What do you know about the species of blue whale？C
A．They live in deep waters，so they can survive．
B．They have fins on the back so that they can be recognized．
C．They weren't protected effectively 100 years ago．
D．They were driven to the shallow sea and nearly died out．
30．The researchers have managed to get the species'DNAD．
A．form the whale named Isabela
B．by catching whale from the sea
C．to study which species it belongs to
D．using methods friendly to the whales
31．The study leader is Juan Pablo Torres-Florez，A．
A．who recorded the longest journey of blue whales
B．who got the whales'DNA in 1998
C．who first recognized blue whales'back fins
D．who uses the fingerprint to recognize blue whales．

Start with smal actions．If you're uncomfortable with long conversations with people，start by just saying"hi"and asking what the person is doing．Even if you do more listening than talking in the beginning，people will usually still like you．When it comes to conversations，remember"F．O．R．"．It stands for family，occupation（職業(yè)） and recreation
（休閑）．You are most likely to be asked about these three topics when you meet someone new．Most people feel comfortable talking about the three topics．The great thing is that you also can communicate with someone new in these three areas．
Honesty is the best policy．In friendship，"honesty"is the basic quality that one must have．One should always be honest with his or her friends．Don't laugh at people's fault．Praise them honestly and openly．Say you are sorry if you hurt your friend．
Give more than you take．Be there when they need you，Encourage them； we all need encouragement now and then．Encourage their dreams．Life seems meaningless without them．Wish your friends good luck．Examine your purpose before you"help out"．Love and never forget them．

5．We now think of chocolate as sweet，but once it was bitter．We think of it as a candy，but once it was a medicine．Today，chocolate can be a hot drink，a frozen dessert，or just a snack．Sometimes it is part of the main course of a meal．Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken．The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers．
    Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree．The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say"Ugh!"and run away．Workers must first dry and then roast the beans．This removes the bitter taste．
    The word"chocolate"comes from a Mayan word．The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico．They valued the cacao tree．Some used the beans for money，while others crushed them to make a drink．
    When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century，they started drinking cacao too．Because the drink was strong and bitter，they thought it was a medicine．No one had the idea of adding sugar．The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes．Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for the digestion．
    In the 1800s，the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao．It quickly became a cheap and popular drink．Soon afterwards，a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate．Later on，another factory mixed milk and chocolate together．People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better．
