    Hello and welcome to English with Lucy. Today we have another topic: "Four Common British Expressions." Now, before we get started, make sure you connect with me on all my social media, which is right here. You can subscribe to(订阅) my YouTube. You can also like me on Facebook. And for my Chinese followers, I have my Weibo account as well.
 Four Common British Expressions:
  "A piece of cake."
    And this is very similar to "easy-peasy, lemon squeezy," which we've discussed in a former video. And basically, it means very easy. So I might come out of an easy exam saying, "That exam was a piece of cake."
 "Break a leg!"
    It actually looks really rather cruel, but I promise you it's positive. And "Break a leg!" means "Good luck!" So before a race, before a job interview, before a test, instead of saying "Good luck!," I might say "Break a leg!" Do really well.
 "It cost an arm and a leg."
    And this basically means something was really expensive. If I say, "My bag cost an arm and a leg," I mean it cost a lot of money.
 "To call it a day."
    And this means "to end a task." So, for example, "I'm feeling a bit tired. I think I'll call it a day." That means "I think I'll stop here. Let's finish."
    Thank you so much for watching this program of "Four Common British Expressions." I hope you like it, and I hope you've learned something.

Cross-cultural misunderstandings occur when people from one culture do not understand the actions and behavior of people from another culture. Everyone has experienced that feeling of being socially or culturally “off balance” at some stage. It happens when we enter unfamiliar cultural environments and find that things are strange or different. For example, it can occur when a person begins a new job. Until an employee can operate comfortably and successfully within the social and cultural environment of a new workplace, he cannot be fully effective.

Knowing about the diversity of traditional and cultural backgrounds of our customers and colleagues will not automatically rule out misunderstandings. However, if we do know something about it, we can often take steps to prevent misunderstandings from occurring. It is a matter of being aware of when, where and why a misunderstanding may occur.

There may be a language barrier that can make clear communication difficult. The way we communicate is a common cause of misunderstanding. For example, jokes often rely on a creative use of language and sometimes these can be interpreted in many ways, which may be confusing or even offensive.

Non-verbal behavior and body language can be a source of misunderstanding. For example, eye contact can be considered by some people as overly long and therefore rude.

Addressing customers by their first names may not always be inappropriate. Check with your customers how they like to be addressed.

People from different religious or cultural backgrounds or with personal preferences may have specific dietary requirements. Check their requirements when determining any food menus. Offering alcohol to guests whose religion doesn’t allow them to enjoy can create a tense situation at the beginning of a meal.

4. If a new employee doesn’t perform highly effective, which can be a reason?

A. He can’t understand the working rules well.
B. He is not satisfied with his new occupation.
C. He is not familiar with the new working environment.
D. He usually fails to operate the equipment successfully.

5. What can a knowledge of the diversity of traditional and cultural backgrounds do?

A. Clear up misunderstandings.
B. Help prevent misunderstandings.
C. Tell us how to predict misunderstandings.
D. Remind us of the existence of misunderstandings.

6. What would make jokes confusing or even offensive?

A. Rude words used. B. Poor translation.
C. Different understanding. D. Creative thought in them.

7. Which of the following is a proper way to avoid cultural misunderstanding?

A. Use as little body language as possible.
B. Avoid making eye contact when talking.
C. Address customers always by their first names.
D. Offer your guests food according to their requirements.

C

    Lunch is a part of Chinese culture. When I'm back home in England, I often miss Chinese lunch.
    At home, at work, at school, English lunchtime is far from a formal meal of the day. It seems that we can't wait to finish lunch as quickly as possible. People working in the office take out packed sandwiches that are not delicious. Work canteens(餐厅) are crowded with people too busy to eat, rushing to the checkout(收银台) with something in hand so that they can quickly eat up on the way to another meeting. A lot of work in England leaves little time to have our meals and enjoy them. Perhaps this is why so many of us hold such unhealthy relationships with food.
    The way we plan our days in England shows we don't care about mealtimes. Meetings, lectures, interviews and so on are all planned from 12 a.m. to 2 p.m. In Beijing lunch often starts from 11:30 p.m. to 1 p.m. And owners of many shops gather in small groups to share a meal, which is hardly seen in England. I have never experienced such a culture where finding time to eat is so important.
    In China, food is shared and the time is enjoyed as a moment of get-together in busy days. This is a value and practice we should hold in our lives in England. In China food is not only a necessity(必需品), but also a time for get-together with friends and family, and I love it.

8. Why can't most English people enjoy their lunch?

A. They think British food is terrible.
B. They are anxious to go shopping.
C. They are too busy with work.
D. They have much housework.

9. Which does the author like most about Chinese lunch?

A. Its atmosphere B. Its taste
C. Its price D. Its kinds

10. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A. English people don't take mealtimes seriously.
B. English lunchtime lasts one and a half hours.
C. English people never experience Chinese culture.
D. English people like to get together in groups.

11. What is mainly talked about in the text?

A. The best way to experience Chinese lunch.
B. Lunch differences between China and England.
C. Suggestions of enjoying English culture.
D. The stressful lifestyles of English people.

D

A British friend told me he couldn't understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds（嗑瓜子）as a snack so much. "I've met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth, I believe that's from cracking the seeds," he said.

I had never noticed the habit,but once he mentioned it,I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I'm watching TV or typing a report,I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn't like sunflower seeds,and,to him,it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.

When we were young,the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then,we all lived close to one another,usually in a small city,and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year's Eve to check out what every household was making.

I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room,a large table would already be laid out,complete with fancy tablecloth,ready-made dumpling fillings,and dishes full of candy,fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later,while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then. I don't think it's right to criticize one's choice in food or eating habits,no matter how strange they may seem.

It's not only in China. When I went abroad,I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark,they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner,no matter how

much it ruins your breath. They think it's delicacy（美味佳肴），and it's connected to their certain culture. I think it's a wonderful tradition.

12. Why can the British friend not understand when he found Chinese love eating sunflower seeds？

A. Because the seeds are too hard to crack.
B. Because he thinks they art harmful to teeth.
C. Because he doesn't think the seeds are good.
D. Because he doesn't thinks the seeds are worth eating.

13. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year？

A. The families get together for it.
B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
C. The traditions of celebrating it disappear.
D. Children can eat delicious food on that day.

14. What's the writer's attitude to Denmark's way of eating bread？

A. indifferent B. critical
C. understandable D. doubtful

15. What idea does the writer want to express in this passage？

A. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
B. Eating habits come from a certain culture.
C. Changing your eating habits will change your life.
D. One kind of food doesn't necessarily suit everyone.

第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

   While you are traveling abroad, cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes, which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill-feeling between individuals.    (16)   
●Touching Someone
       (17)    In Mediterranean countries, if you don't touch someone's arm when talking to them or if you don't greet them with kisses or a warm hug, you'll be 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.    (18)    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'll be considered disrespectful. So, if you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces.    (19)   
    Once you are on the ground of a different country, remain highly sensitive to native behavior.    (20)    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'll be likely to meet with silence.

    What do these taboos tell us about American   (27)  ? For one, they show that Americans place importance on   (28)  . America certainly isn't the only place that values it. You will find   (29)   taboos about asking personal questions in many European countries. "This is especially true in Germany," says Hanna Graf, a German living in Shanghai. "In Germany, you are not supposed to ask about other people's personal business," she says. "But there are no   (30)   rules about what you can't ask; it's just in people's minds."
    In Brazil,   (31)  , almost anything seems open to discussion. "Brazilians talk about all kinds of personal issues," says Mark Quinlan, who grew up in Brazil. But of course, even Brazil has its own taboos. In Brazil, soccer is the one topic that can turn friends into enemies. Brazilians love the sport. Saying anything   (32)   about soccer can cause big trouble. Even expressing preference for one team over another can be   (33)  .
    Like Brazilians, Australians talk freely about almost anything. However, they do not talk about their personal or business   (34)  . They prefer to let people judge them by their actions, not their words. Boasting (夸大) your achievements will only make you the   (35)   of other people's jokes.
    And what about your taboos? The next time you have a conversation, pay attention to what isn't said. You might be amazed at what you learn about your own culture.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

A monk（和尚） used to live in a hut at a side of a village. He read books all day long, without worrying for food or money. He was a very kind and tender-hearted person. All the villagers greatly admired his noble character. That is why everyone offered him food and wanted to help him.
     Once, it was a cold winter. The monk had a fire burning in his hut for warmth. Suddenly, there was a knock at his door. The monk wondered who it could be out at such a cold night, He opened the door and found a fox out there shivering in cold. She spoke, "I live on the hills out there. Heavy snow is falling there, making my life difficult. Please kindly give me a little room in your hut for the night. I will go away in the morning." The monk politely called her in and said, "Don't worry, dear. You can live here as long as you wish." In the warmth of the heated hut the fox felt very comfortable. The monk gave her some bread and milk. The fox quickly ate it and slept in a corner.
     In the morning, the fox asked for the permission to leave. The monk told her to come whenever she liked. The fox again came back at the night. The monk talked with her about the day's happenings and gave her some food. After eating, the fox went to sleep.
     A few months passed and the season changed. One day the fox said, "You took so great care of me all through the winter, I want to do something for you in return." The monk remarked, "Dear fox, it was my duty to do something for you. Please don't embarrass me by talking in this way." The fox pleaded, "I am not trying to pay back your kindness. I love you and respect you. By doing something for you I will feel a great pride in me. I wish to be of some use to you."
Paragraph 1:
    The monk thought for some time and hesitantly said, "I don't need anything. But sometimes I wish I had a piece of gold.   ______________________________________________________
