The first time I went to France, I was shocked by the cultural differences in daily routines and
manners. Born and brought up in Britain, I used to believe that we share the same cultural
manners with our European neighbour. But how wrong I was!
The most challenging difference for me was the food and eating time. After one month of
living here, I still got strange looks as I ate my homemade sandwiches behind a computer screen
while the other colleagues enjoyed a three-course meal in the canteen. They also had a two-hour
"pause" which seemed to involve every employee in France. What's more, having evening meals
at 6 pm was a common habit for people from the north of England, like me. Therefore, an evening
meal at 9 pm was quite challenging for my stomach. After realising the fact that the local snacks
were worth the wait, however, I quickly accustomed to this more relaxing way of life, which was
hard to imagine before I came here.
Another aspect of French food and drink culture that I found hard to adapt to at first is the
cafe culture. I am getting used to a quick espresso(浓咖啡 ), but deep down I have to admit that
when catching up with an old friend, nothing suits more than a tall latte(1#)and a slice of
homemade cake, preferably in a comfortable English tea room
Finally, there go greetings. At home I feel comfortable shaking someone's hand on the first
meeting. So when I greeted a stranger with two kisses on the cheeks, I felt slightly out of my
comfort zone. I do,though, appreciate this part of the French culture.
Being exposed to cultural differences is a unique experience which makes you appreciate
your roots more and open your eyes to the diversity of the world.
5. What do we know about the food and eating time in France?
A. French people eat a quick lunch at work.
B. French people have a three-course meal in the evening.
C. French people usually eat evening meals at 6 pm.
D. An evening meal at 9 pm is quite common in France.
6 The underlined word"accustomed"in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_______”.
A. used B. adapted C. abandoned D. refused
7. What does the author think of the experience in France?
A. Comfortable . B. Challenging but enriching . C. Hard to
adapt to. D. Unworthy.

In 2005, Winston Duncan was travelling with his mother in Southern Africa when he saw an
old lady and a young boy walking down a road together. He thought of his own grandmother and
wondered how he could help the old lady and others in Africa who have to walk a long way.
Duncan, who lived in Washington State, was 10 at the time, and his solution was to give them
bikes. With his mum, he started Wheels to Africa, an organization that for the past 15 years has
taken bicycles donated from residents of the Washington area and shipped them across the world
to people in need.
Most of the 8,000 bikes they have collected have gone to countries in Africa, helping cut
down hours of walking for students and other postmen. But last week, Duncan, travelled with a
handful of volunteers and 400 bikes to a destination much closer to his home yet still in need:
Puerto Rico. More than a year after it was destroyed by Hurricane Maria, the island suffers from
transportation problems.
"It was a little chaotic（混乱的）—as soon as they got their bikes, they were just having fun
riding around the parking lot, " said Austin Higgins, a New Jersey resident who recently joined
