I didnt want my brothers and sisters to know our _43_ so I added a postscript (附言，补充): “Please dont let anyone see this.” Then I quietly moved _44_ my parents bedroom and put the letter under Mothers pillow. The next morning, when I _45_ my bed after breakfast, I unexpectedly _46_ a note under my pillow.

Even when we were _50_, she never mentioned them when we brothers and sister recalled our childhood. When Mother _51_, I had to go through her personal belongings.

From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship. Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries - like the UK or France - people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary. Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly. People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural (多元文化) environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.56. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _.     A. develop closer relations             B. share the same culture     C. get to know each other             D. keep each other company57. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _.     A. the English prefer to make long speeches        B. too many words are of no use     C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature     D. even talk and silence can be culturally different58. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?     A. By sharing different ways of life.    B. By accepting different habits.     C. By recognizing different values.     D. By speaking each other' s languages.59. What would be the best title for the text?     A. Multicultural Environment.          B. Cross-Cultural Differences.     C. How to Understand Each Other.      D. How to Build Up a Relationship.B  The Los Angeles Zoo has many public programs that aim to teach the public about animals and natural protection.Safari shuttle(旅游电车) While youre here, take the Safari shuttle for a quick trip from one end of the Zoo to the other.
