By this, they mean that with improved communications and trade, each country is becoming more and more familiar with one another. There seems to be a lot of truth to this. After all, you can buy African food in Norway, or watch a French movie in China.But in spite of this, countries still have the power to shock people who visit them for the first time. For many of us, there are still real differences in the culture and habits between nations.Recently, the Daily Mail reported on some culture shocks from around the world.A Serbian student, Milorad Boti, was highly surprised on a school trip to Germany when he found that public bathrooms were very different to those in his home country. He noticed that after using the toilet, the lid(盖子)rotated(旋转)as part of a cleaning process. Milorad was impressed. “That was the best thing that happened on that school trip,” he said.Most often, however, it’s eating habits that are different between cultures. The Daily Mail article mentioned the shock of an Indian man, Kaushal Braot. When visiting a Western country, he notice people socializing in restaurants, often spending hours in them with friends. Kaushal was surprised because in India, restaurants are for one thing only: eating.The cultural differences people noticew can seem positive, negative, or simply jst strange. But rather than something to be feared, these differences should be welcomed. Indeed, if the whole world were like one big country, it would be a much duller place. So let’s be proud of our own cultu re, and at the same time, open to the cultures of others.24．The world is getting smaller because of ___________.A．African food in Norway B．French movies in ChinaC．improved communications and trade D．differences in culture25．In a western country’s restaurant, you can do the following things EXCEPT _____________.A．having a dinner with your friends B．playing basketball with your friends C．chatting with your friends D．sharing a book with your friends 26．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．The world will become one big country.B．Cultural differences make people feared.C．Chinese culture is the best one in the world.D．We should love our own culture and respect others’.27．Milorad Boti’s and Kaushal Barot’s stories are mentioned to ________. A．support the writer’s opinion B．make the article interesting C．make the article logical D．introduce the topicCWhen it comes to Chinese students considering studying in foreign countries, many of them usually believe that life will be easy and enjoyable. Unfortunately, it’s likely that students with those beliefs will be disappointed very soon afterlanding at the airport. So, what are the problems you may have, and how can you deal with them?Teaching and learning styles in America are very different from those in China, requiring more critical(批判的)thinking and cooperation. In a normal American classroom, one project might be done by a study group in which every person has their own responsibility.Besides coursework, another important problem faced by overseas students is homesickness or loneliness. You may miss your p arents’ cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. Being away from home can create bitter feelings, especially when face with the challenges of getting used to an unfamiliar environment.What I strongly recommend is to try hard to deal with these feelings. Be open to new friendships, although they can’t replace the family and friends you miss from home. Sign up for campus societies, and try to enjoy life on campus, even if you miss home a lot. Be organized and keep a diary to check your progress. Write down three new things that you’re grateful for every evening, as well as three things you’re looking forward to every morning.Studying abroad is never simple. In fact, there will be many obstacles daily. But hopefully, students who are studying abroad, or who are planning to, will overcome their difficulties and make their time overseas a success.28．When you study abroad, you will ____________.A．get used to learning easily B．miss your family and friends C．have nothing to do but study D．deal with learning projects by yourself 29．You should make new friends and sign up for campus societies when you __________.

A dinner of local foods cooked by local chefs and eaten as close to the source as possible is an enjoyable way to spend an evening. Outstanding in the Field seems to have been ahead of fashion.

Tickets to these dinners on the farm are expensive. Ticket prices ranged from $180 to $300 per person.

The events are intended for adults, and they don’t recommend that children attend.It’s more than just a meal. The food isn’t the only reason to check out this dining trend.
