My dream is to study abroad in the future. I am always that kind of life can come true soon. But, before I realize my dream, I have to do some preparation. I think the most important thing I need to do first is to adapt the life there.

It is said that there is a big difference between the eastern and western culture.

If I know nothing, it is easy for me to have culture conflict. It will put me into an embarrass place. For example, dragon is the leader for all animals and it has holy good meaning in china. But it means violence in the western country.

I need to learn as much the cultural conflicts as possible to make my oversea life become easier.

我的梦想是以后可以去留学。我总是希望那样的生活能早日成真。但是,在实现梦想之前,我得做一些准备工作。我想我首先需要做的是适应那里的生活。据说东西方文化是有差异的。如果我什么都不知道,很容易发生文化冲突。这会置我于一个尴尬的地方。例如,龙是在中国是万兽之王,有着无比神圣的意义。但是在西方国家则是暴力的象征。我要尽量了解的文化冲突,这样我的留学生活才会变得更简单。

On job interviews when first conversing with an individual and when addressing small or

large groups, the first few seconds are critical in setting the tone for how youll be perceived. If she has an annoying regional accent, uses incorrect grammar, has a limited vocabulary, and if she has an irritatingly sharp piercing voice, sounds whiny or bossy or doesnt articulate her words clearly, it s an immediate turn-off. This isnt someone who you would hire or proudly introduce to your friends and business associates. This doesnt mean that everyone should try to sound like a professional actor or broadcaster. All of us have qualities unique to our own way of speaking, our individual voiceprint

as distinctive as our fingerprints. Our voice is very personal and an important part of our identity. Some natural characteristics of our voice may be very appealing.

The idea is to take the voice with which youve been gifted and give it the very best sound that you can. With the right type of practice, by paying attention to the quality of your voice and by knowing how to properly express yourself,you II almost immediately improve your opportunities in job interviews, social situations, in selling, and in azuoweng a meeting or addressing groups of people.

Let s say it again, it all begins with the instrument, your voice. If its sound and quality is flawed and needs improvement, that s where you start. That s what everyone hears whether in casual conversation or in making a major speech to a large audience. Pure vowel sounds, articulation, proper breathing, expressive speaking patterns, a pleasing vocal range, naturalness, all these will make you get twice the result with half the effort.

I see a show about painting. An exhibition at a private art gallery is a way of introducing a new artist to the public .

The idea is to stage an event that will create interest in the artist and stimulate sales of his or her work. Exhibitions of painting , sculpture, and photography at public museums and galleries are different from private showings.

The works exhibited at public museums are by established, well-known artists. Many exhibitions include works from the museum’s permanent collection—that is, works owned by the museum.

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year。 It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day。 However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly。

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins。 Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside。 It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack—o—lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern"。

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween。 Some children paint their faces to look like monsters。 Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house。 Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown—ups put treat—money or candy in their bags。

The topic like“what’s a university?” or “what a university should do?” has been discussed many times in every age. Not only educationalists but also students take into it. Is it necessary to give priority to skills and knowledge in university education as they are essential to employers? Or students in universities should have access to all of knowledge just as they have their own sake? Chose A or B, this is a problem.

The value of knowledge itself need to be considered first in university education even though the course is not as practical as skills and technology. In Chinese culture, morality education is always took at first. It said that the way of real learning is to develop and expand virtue, to innovate peoples’ opinions, to get the best goodness. In addition, there are four stages in the success of a gentleman: first, to cultivate his moral characters; second, regulate his own family; third, rule the state successfully; forth, let the world get peace. In Chinese traditional value, students in

university need to develop his morality firstly, though these knowledge is not as useful as other skills after they get a job.

On the other hand, the practicability of a university course is also worth considering, especially in the age when our government call for the attention to skills and technology in university education and when the employees prefer to capacity and practical knowledge of employers. The time in university is limited and conditions and aims of students are different. When students chose which course to learn, it is inevitable for some of them prefer to those which are more needed in workplace.

Universities give equal access to all of knowledge, including the practical courses and others. What’s more, they need give more chance to students to choose what to learn. Congratulate on diversity!

There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine‘s Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries.

Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer‘s daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it From Your Valentine. Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine.

When meeting someone for the first time it is customary to shake hands both for men and for women. Hugs are only exchanged between close friends. Kissing is not common and men never kiss other men.

Americans will usually introduce themselves by their first name and last name (such as “Hello I’m John Smith”) or if the setting is very casual by their first name only (“Hi I’m John”). The common response when someone is introduced to you is “Pleased to meet you.” Unless someone is introduced to you with their title and last name (such as Mister Smith or Miss Johnson) you should address them by their first name. Americans normally address everyone they meet in a social or business setting by their first name. However you should always address your college professors by their title and last name (such as Professor Jones) unless they ask you to do otherwise.

第一次见面的时候,男人和女人都习惯握手。拥抱只是亲密朋友之间的交换。接吻并不常见,男人从不亲吻其他男人。

美国人通常会介绍他们自己的名字和姓氏(如“你好,我是约翰·史密斯”),或者,如果设置很随便,由他们的名字只(“嗨,我是约翰”)。当某人被介绍给你时,通常的反应是“很高兴见到你”,除非有人向你介绍他们的姓和姓(如史米斯先生或约翰逊小姐),你应该称呼他们的名字.。美国人通常用他们的名字称呼他们在社交或商务场合遇到的每个人.。然而,你应该总是称呼你的大学教授的头衔和姓(如琼斯教授),除非他们要求你做其他的事情.。

【参考译文】

农历五月初五为端午节,又称端阳节、午日节、五月节、艾节、端五、重午、午日、夏节。虽然名称不同,但各地人民过节的习俗是相同的。端午节是我国二千多年的旧习俗,每到这一天,家家户户都悬钟馗像,挂艾叶菖蒲,赛龙舟,吃粽子,饮雄黄酒,游百病,佩香囊,备牲醴

以后,在每年的五月初五,就有了龙舟竞渡、吃粽子、喝雄黄酒的风俗;以此来纪念爱国诗人屈原

其中,最流行的是纪念屈原说。据说,公元前278年,秦军攻破楚国京都。屈原眼看自己的国家被侵略,含恨抱石头投汨罗江而死,屈原死后,楚国百姓哀痛异常,每年这一天纷纷涌到江边去凭吊屈原,所以在每年五月初五就有了赛龙舟、吃粽子、喝雄黄酒、悬艾草的风俗。其中赛龙舟最有特色,那争先恐后的激烈场面就像屈原强烈的爱国精神一样,几千年来一直激励着我们。

因为这深厚的文化底蕴,所以端午节现在已经成为了我们中华民族主要的传统节日之一。今天她仍然有着强大的生命力,在我们德清,每到这一天,家家户户的门上,都会挂上菖蒲、艾草,据说可以辟邪消灾。各家各户自然也少不了包粽子,那透着浓浓竹叶清香的粽子,是我们孩子们的最爱,枣子棕、火腿棕、赤豆棕……一个个引人垂涎三尺呢!有的地方,人们还会佩带着香袋,姑娘们以这五彩缤纷的香袋做饰物,既香味袅袅,又让自己变得更美丽动人,走在大街上自然引来了不少小伙们留连的目光去审视我们中华文化的博大精深,让我们更有理由为中华文化而自豪!

不可思议的是,他们很少会把外衣、内衣分开洗,甚至会把脏鞋子和内衣放一起洗,他们的理由是烘干机带有消毒功能。

我曾在洛杉矶呆过三个月。东西方文化差异、生活习性的迥异常让我倍感孤独和不知所措

一次,参加美国朋友的家庭宴会,宾朋满座。同桌有一年长的老妇人,为了表达礼节,我起身端起酒杯,微笑着向她敬酒:“祝您老身体健康,福祥延年!”可是,老妇人并没有接受我的敬酒,相反脸色骤变,一句简短的“对不起”后,就离开了座位。我不知所措,同桌的朋友小声告诉我,美国人最不能容忍的就是别人说自己“老”,老年人绝不喜欢别人恭维他们的年龄,哪怕是80岁的老妪,你也得赞美她:“您真年轻,您真漂亮,祝您一直美丽。”而在我国,“老”字在中国是尊称,老年人是很受人尊敬的,在美国,老却是“人老珠黄不值钱”的代名词。没想到,我为了表示东方人的友好礼貌,竟无意间伤害了那位老妇人,令她和我都狼狈不堪。

还有一次,我在公园的长凳上休息。不远处,一对情侣模样的男女牵着两只雪纳瑞犬向我这边走来。我特别喜欢狗,看到这两只长得几乎一模一样的可爱狗狗,心生欢喜,更勾起了我对自己爱犬的想念,我不由自主地迎了过去。我一边向主人打招呼,一边蹲下抱起一只狗狗,拿出包内的烤肉和面包,毫不吝惜的拿在手里喂给狗狗吃。两人惊愕地看了我几秒后,飞快地拉着狗狗快步跑开,留下怔怔的我眼睁睁瞧着他们离开我的视线。后来,和朋友偶然说起这事,朋友说,有狗狗的美国家庭,都特别宠爱自己的狗狗,而且狗狗和自己的孩子享受一样的家庭待遇。陌生人没有征求主人的同意擅自喂他的狗狗,主人会很不高兴,他会担心你喂给狗狗的食物有毒或是劣质的。无意之中,我又犯了美国人的一大忌。

那段时间,我暂住朋友家里,美国人的阳台上几乎从不晾晒衣物。并不是美国人不爱干净,在一个家庭里,家庭成员通常会把每天换下的脏衣服、脏鞋子统一放在一个很大的收纳篮里,到了周末再进行大清洗。洗好的衣物直接放烘干机里烘干,绝少拿到阳台接受阳光的暴晒。不可思议的是,他们很少会把外衣、内衣分开洗,甚至会把脏鞋子和内衣放一起洗,他们的理由是烘干机带有消毒功能,这让我或多或少有些瞠目结舌。我受不了这些,坚持自己每天洗衣、在阳台晾晒衣物的习惯,弄得朋友不以为然地直摇头。

美国人吃的东西就那区区几种,可厨房用具却琳琅满目,一应俱全。我在朋友家的厨房里会经常拿着不知名的餐具不知所用,傻帽得可以。实际上,朋友家的饭菜很简单,一般是水果蔬菜沙拉配各类烤肉、奶酪、面包,再就是各种甜品点心,直腻得我胃内抽筋,耳里老幻想炒菜时菜下油锅时那一阵“滋啦”的美妙音响。美国人家的厨房很干净,油烟很少,电磁炉、电烤箱、微波炉就基本满足了他们生活所需,你想在他们的厨房里找出一口炒菜的铁锅,那是件很难的事情。我忍不住了,去超市买了口铁锅,拿回朋友的家里,把它架在电磁炉上,郑重其事地炒了一个纯中国式的青椒土豆丝,美美地品尝着来美后的第一顿中国菜。朋友用叉子叉了几根品尝后,竖起大拇指:“好吃,好吃!”?

People who go to a formal Western dinner party for the first time may be surprised by table manners in Western culture.Knowing them will help you make a good impression.Having good table manners means knowing,for example,how to use knives and forks,when to drink a toast and how to behave at the table.Beside your napkin you will find a small bread roll and three glasses—one for white wine,one for the red wine,and one for water.There are two pairs of knives and forks on the table,forks on the left and knives in the right of the plate.When you see two spoons,the big one id for the suop and the samll one for the dessert.The knife and fork that are closest to your plate are a litte bit bigger than the ones beside them.When you sit down at the table, you can take your napkin, unfold it and put it on your lap.In Chinese you sometime get a hot,damp cloth to clean your face and face and hands,whinch,however,is nat the custom in Western countries.

Dinner start with a small dish, which is often called a starter.Sime people pray before they start eating , and other people may keep silent for a moment. Then you can say"Enjoy your meal"to each other and everybody start eating.For the starter,which you eat with the smaller pair,you keep the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left.After the starter you will get a bowl of soup—but only one boel of soup and never ask for a seconf serving.

The next dish is the main course.Many Westerners think the chicken breast with its tender white flesh is the best part of the bird. Some people can use their fingers when they eating chicken or other birds,but never touch beef or other meat in bones.It is polite to finish eating everthing on your plate,so dont take more food than you need.

At table ,you should try to speak quietly and smile a lot,but do not laugh all the time.

Most Westerners like soft drink if they will drive home.Many of them drink white or red wine with the food.When drinking to someones health,you raise your glasses,but the glasses should not touch. The custom of toasting in some parts of China is to finish the drink at once,but Westerners usually take only a sip.For drinking during a dinner,the best advic is never to drink too much.

Table manners change over time.They follow the fashion of the day .Beside,table manners are only important at formal dinner parties.If youre not sure what to do ,you can always follow your hosts.Although good manners always make you look good,you do not need to worry about all these rules while having dinner with your friends or family
