Everywhere in the world there are different ways of behaving. When we meet someone, everything we say and do expresses our cultural background. So if you want to get on with someone from another culture, it helps to understand something about these differences.
Even how we stand depends on our culture. English people talk to each other at an average (平均) distance of 130 cm, while Italians chat at an average distance of 80 cm. So Italians can think that English people are unfriendly because they stand too far away! And English people can think that Italians are too close.
Touching is also cultural. The French touch much more than Americans. A French couple may touch 100 times in half an hour while an American couple may only touch twice! And French teenagers touch each other much more than American teens.

Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. He walked into class one day and told his students that their h________46 was to perform one act of random(任意的) kindness. His students did not understand the assignment (任务), but the professor would not answer their questions. He e________47 his students to find it out by themselves.
One week later, the students entered the classroom and were excited
to s________48 their stories. One student told of distributing blankets to the homeless, another had contacted a longlost friend, and another student r________49 that he had helped a dog to find its owner. Students were energized(激励) by the homework assignment and wanted other people to be kind too. W________50 the support of local businesses, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something k________51for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind—not surprising as Professor Wall is blind.
Since then, s________52 kindness activities have been organized in schools all over the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, a________53 November 13, to celebrate World Kindness Day.

Saving Tigers
Have you visited zoos? Have you seen tigers in the zoos? I think the tiger is one of the most popular animals that people like to see in the zoos. But now there are only about 3, 200 tigers in the world, and the number of them is reducing. Why? Because many trees are cut down and the tigers have no place to live in. In order to protect them we must build many natural reserves. And we must stop people from hunting them.
