46. People from different cultures sometimes do things that make each other uncomfortable—without meaning to or sometimes without even realizing it.
Most Americans have never been out of the country and have very little experience with foreigners. But they are usually spontaneous, friendly and open, and enjoy meeting new people, having guests and bringing people together formally or informally. They tend to use first names under most circumstances and speak freely about themselves. So if your American hosts do something that makes you uncomfortable, try to let them know how you feel. Most people will appreciate your honesty and try not to make you uncomfortable again.

47. 在中国古代史上,黄河被称为中华民族的“母亲”,她哺育了千千万万中华儿女。黄河流域是中华民族的“摇篮”,也是中国文化的发祥地。远古时代,这里曾经草木茂密、植物丰盛,中华民族的祖先便在这块广大的土地上劳动生息。经过数十万年原始社会生活以后,在中国这块辽阔的国土上,黄河流域最早进入农业文明。黄河流域的古都西安、洛阳、开封是北宋以前中国政治、经济和文化的中心。勤劳勇敢的中国人民在这里创造了绚丽多彩的艺术和文化。
