    A few weeks ago, I was on vacation with my family in Malaysia. We visited lots of places. One of the hotels we stayed     76    was near a China Town.

    Everything was cheap there      77     we did a lot of shopping. I was looking for a watch for myself and     78    for my girlfriend. There were many shops that were selling    79     same watch — but for different prices.

    I finally found the best price, so I bought the watches while my sister and mom were buying other things from the shop.    80    it was time to pay, I realized I was 10 dollars short, so I suggested   81      (return) one of the watches. The    82   (own) of the shop asked why and I explained I didn’t have enough money with me. She smiled and said, “You can take it, but promise me you’ll pay tomorrow!”

    So I asked her what time she    83    (be) there the next day and said, “Okay, I promise.”

    Unfortunately we changed our hotel and the new one was much    84   (far) away from China Town, but I still walked all the way to her shop and gave her the money. She smiled and said, “You’re a good person.”

It’s so beautiful when people    85   you don’t know trust you.

    I am secretary of the City Student Union (CSU). We were organizing an art exhibition for high school students in city. It will be held in the 9^th of July in the Exhibition Hall of Beihai. More than 1000 painting will be on show, but high school students and teachers from all the eight districts will come to the event. As you are very popularly with us Chinese high school students, we’d like to invite for you to the exhibition. We would be grateful when you could join them that day. Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
    Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
    Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
    Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
    People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural (多元文化) environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
