"Russians are a very polite peopIe," I had been told before my arrival. One of my friends explained that a gentleman will pour the lemonade for the ladies and show other good manners. Toward the end of my three-week trip, I was invited by my Russian friend Nicolai Vasilevich and his wife Yulya out to dinner. At the end of a wonderful meal, Yulya asked if I would like a banana. I politely declined(婉谢) and thanked her, and explained I was most satisfied with the meal. But my mind was racing: "What should I do? Should I offer her a banana though they are as close to her as they are to me? What is the polite thing to do?" "Would you like a banana?" I asked Yulya. "Yes," she smiled, but didn't try to take any of the three bananas in the fruit basket. "Which one would you like?" I asked again. "That one," she pointed at one of the bananas. So thinking about Russian politeness, f picked the banana Yulya had pointed at. Then I peeled it half way and handed it to her. Smiles on Yulya's and Nicolai's faces told me I had done the right thing. Alter this experience, I spent much time letting the world know that in Russia, the polite thing was to peel bananas for ladies. However, sometime during my third trip i learned I was wrong. "Oh no, David," a Russian politely corrected me. "In Russia, when a man peels a banana for a lady, it means he has a romantic interest in her." How embarrassed (尴尬) I felt. So to communicate properly with people of different cultures, we should watch carefully how people of the same culture communicate with each other. Besides, dont be afraid to ask questions about their culture.31. Before his first visit to Russia, the writer learned Russian gentlemen are polite to_.

A. in Britain B. all over Europe C. in Woodland D. all over the worldC People have been interested in color and its effects for hundreds of years. More recently, research has turned to the question of how different colors can help students learn better. Believe it or not, some colors can affect a child's IQ (智商). For example, a simple black and white color scheme may cause IQ to become low, while the good use of reds and oranges may raise it as much as 15 polnts2 Be careful not to use too much, however； a little red is exciting, but too much makes people uncomfortable. Bright yellow is exciting to the brain, while the color green is thought to encourage creativity. Use blue and green to calm yourself. Blue, especially, can cause you to calm down. Something blue in a reading area, for example, may help you focus (集中于) on what you are reading. But too much dark blue can make you sad, so use light blue on walls or largefloor areas. If you are struggling to read, try a different color of paper. According to a study, 80 percent of children who had difficulty in reading improved their understanding when they put something grey or blue over their pages. Do not use bright colors here, as they become difficult to look at after a while. However, use bright colors like red, orange and yellow for important points. These colors attract the eye and may help you notice details. The same color of the wails of a room do riot help you focus on your studies, but make you slow in understanding. Colors, on the other hand, make the senses active and encourage learning. Use primary colors red, yellow and blue in a proper Way. Then how do you make your choices of color? It mainly depends on (取决于) your space, the lighting and the function of the room.38. The color grey may help you_. A. read better B. calm down C. raise IQ D. feel creative39.
