There is a Chinese idiom “taoli mantianxia”, referring to a teacher who has taught so many students that they spread across the country like peach and plum trees. Why are students compared to these two types of trees
The idiom comes from Zizhi, an official (大臣) who lived in the state of Wei during the Spring and Auturmn Period (BC770—BC476). Zizhi was a knowledgeable person. But he was not well liked by the king at the time, so he had to leave his state. To make a living, he opened a private school and started to teach students.
As a teacher, Zizhi was kind and wise. He chose students regardless of (不论) their wealth or social status (社会地位). He often pointed at a peach and a plum tree in his yard when asking his students to work hard. “You should become a useful person and do work to benefit society, just like when the peach and plum trees bloom and yield fruit,” he said.
Keeping these words in their minds, many of Zizhi’s students went on to different places around the country, achieving great things along the way. They would plant peach and plum trees to show their respect for their teacher.
When Zizhi traveled around the country and saw his students and the trees they planted, he was very pleased. “My students are like peach and plum trees. They are everywhere, and they have achieved great results.”
Since then, “peach and plum trees” has been used to refer to students who have been successful in their post-study careers.

Many people love travelling to different countries, but if you plan to go abroad, you should know how to behave in different situations around the world.
Most travelers enjoy meeting new people, but sometimes you can be rude without saying anything. In Russia, you should never shake hands in a doorway, and if you’re travelling in Thailand, never touch people’s heads or point your feet at people. When the Japanese meet new people, they like giving business cards—but you should read the card carefully, not just put it in your pocket.
In most countries in Europe people expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them, but in many Asian countries a lot of eye contact seems unfriendly. And in South America people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk, but in countries like the USA you need to give people more personal space. Also, it’s rude to interrupt Japanese people while they are talking to you. You must wait until they finish before you start speaking.
In restaurants in China you can leave a bit of food on your plate. It’s OK to start smoking, before other people finish eating, which you mustn’t do in the UK. When in India, remember to eat with your right hand. Also avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia—that’s bad luck.
When you’re travelling in Asia, if someone invites you to his or her home, don’t forget to take off your shoes when you arrive. And if you visit an Arab family’s home, don’t admire anything valuable because your host will feel he should give it to you as a present.
With so much to think about, it’s not surprising that many people prefer going on holiday in their own countries—or you might just decide to stay at home.

Beijing Opera is one of the traditional Chinese drama art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of over 200 years, it is developed from many other drama forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”. It was especially popular in South China during the 18th century.

How quickly can you count from one to ten Do you use ten different words to do it Do you depend on your fingers Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.
In the US, people begin counting by extending each finger to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.
Besides, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. Aboriginal (土著的) people in Australia can’t use fingers to stand for numbers. They don’t even have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.
People of the Piraha tribe (部落) in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”, They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees”, “more trees,” or “many trees”.

On Sept 17, a giant panda with a white helmet（头盔）named “Bing Dwen Dwen（冰墩墩）”, and a red lantern baby called “Shuey Rhon Rhon（雪容融）”, will be the two mascots for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. The giant panda is a symbol of China, and the red lantern is important on Chinese New Year. At the same time, the panda’s helmet stands for（代表）modern society and its white color is a symbol of the snow and ice of winter sports.

An American woman living in Wisconsin (威斯康星州) offered to teach English to a Japanese woman who had moved into the same community. “Before each lesson, and on each and every visit,” the American reported, “the Japanese lady brought me a gift—a book, some paper sculpture, flowers, or candy. It was embarrassing (令人尴尬的).”

The idea of what shaking the head means is not always the same in different countries. Maybe some visitors would be surprised when they first come to India. When they talk to an Indian, they would find he would often shake his head. The visitors might think that the Indian doesn’t like what they say. But in fact, they would be completely wrong. Indians always shake their heads when they talk to others. It doesn’t mean “No”. If someone wants to visit India, he should know this, or he will be in trouble.
One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired a car and asked an Indian to drive him. When he told his driver to take him to his office, the Indian shook his head at once. The officer said again and the driver shook his head again. At last the officer, of course, got angry. “How dare you refuse my order ” he shouted. “Drive me to my office at once!” The driver answered in a loud voice too. “Yes, sir!” But to the officer’s surprise, the driver shook his head at the same time.
The car started and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word. He thought about it for a while, and then he nodded with a smile, “No” means “Yes” here!
74．If you first have a talk with an Indian, you’ll be ________ to understand when you see the Indian’s shaking her head.
A．easy B．happy C．unhappy D．unable

B．Because the driver nodded his head and went away.
C．Because the driver didn’t like the officer.
D．Because the driver didn’t answer in a loud voice.
77．What can we learn from the story
