短文改错

My name is Ann. I've been in China in a few years. With the help of Li Hua， a good friend of mine，I've been used to live in China. Li Hua， like other girls， are beautiful and lovely. We became friends after we meet each other a few years ago. Although her English isn't easy to understand， but we enjoy chatting and we usually talk a lot about my favorite books. We're both surprising that Chinese culture and American culture are such different. Now we are planning nice party. There， I will introduce Li Hua to my friends， whom also have great interest in Chinese culture.

I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”（风格）of directions every time I ask “ How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused（困惑的）in Japan because most streets there don’t have names. In Japan, people use landmarks（地标）in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “ Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat. In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “ Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure distance in time, not miles. “ How far away is the post office?” you ask. “ Oh,” they answer, “ it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “ Yes, but how many miles is it?” They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “ Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “ I don’t know”. People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

   Britain is a very worldwide country. Women in Britain are usually independent and used to entering public places by themselves. The British are generally quite tolerant - they like to help if they can so don't be afraid to ask for help. The British people sometimes seem a little cool and it needs to take time to build close friendships. However，most people respond politely and positively to offers of friendship. Don't forget that if they are not familiar with your culture，they won't understand your needs and concerns unless you explain them.

But on campus you might be surprised by the lack of formality（遵守礼节）. In this relaxed attitude ，most members of faculty （全体教师）enjoy being with students and joining in conversation whether or not it is directly related to studying work. Social spaces and common rooms on campus will usually  contain a mixture of staff and students informally chatting over tea or coffee.

For drinking， alcohol is offered to anyone aged over 18. It's perfectly acceptable for adults to drink alcohol in proper amounts. For many British people ，drinking is a common part of social life -“ going out for a drink” is how they relax or spend time with friends. This doesn't mean that you have to drink alcohol. If you don't want to，you can always ask for a non-alcoholic drink instead.

You know，many people in Britain smoke. However， in some ways smoking is less acceptable than drinking， and from summer 2010 smoking was not allowed in all pubs，clubs and restaurants in England. Most restaurants provide separate smoking and non-smoking areas， and smoking is not allowed in many public places including  buses and the London Underground. If you smoke in these places，you have to pay a fine. If you are eating or drinking with friends - especially at someone else's house - it is polite to ask before you light your cigarette.

【小题1】If you want to make your British friends understand you，you’d better _____________ .

A．tell them your own country's culture

B．just speak out what you want clearly

C．express your needs frequently

D．learn the British way to express your needs

【小题2】What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A．Students there usually don't respect their teachers.

B．Most members of faculty enjoy getting along with students.

C．British students behave badly on campus.

D．British teachers don't talk about other things except academic work.

【小题3】Why is drinking an important part of people's social life in Britain?

A．Because most adults have the right to drink as much as possible.

B．Because all the people like to drink wine in the pub.

C．Because a non-alcoholic drink is not offered there.

D．Because drinking can help them relax and get together with their friends.

【小题4】It can be seen from the last paragraph that in Britain _____________ .

A．people are more likely to forgive smoking than drinking

B．smoking is banned in all public places

C．people prefer smoking to drinking

D．you'd better ask your host's permission before smoking

In a society such as the United states or Canada, which has many national, religious, and cultural differences, people highly value individualism—the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work individually and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.
In most Asian societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposed rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teaching methods are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules or information that they have memorized.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.
The advantage of the educational system in North American, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is , however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven’t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have..
