I have learnt a lot about Chinese life and culture while teaching in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province and found them very interesting.

First, family life is quite   1   in China. In the USA, many young people   2   home after they finish their education and start working. However, in China, it is   3   for people to live with their parents until they get married.   4  , many of my Chinese friends told me that their  5   lived with them and helped take care of them when they were children. It seems that Americans think independence is more important   6   the Chinese think family relationships are more important.

Bargaining is another   7   that I have tried to learn. In the USA, prices are   8   and you can’t ask for a lower price. However in some small Chinese stores and tourist places, you are   9   to bargain. My Chinese friends taught me to ask for 40 percent or 50 percent   10   the original price. If the salesperson doesn’t agree to my price, I should   11   to leave and he might let me come back and sell me the item. It is a skill that you have to   12   if you live in China.

Tipping hasn’t been easier to   13  . In the USA, many people in the service   14   want to get   15   money for serving customers. Tipping is not a part of Chinese culture.   16   I tried to tip a taxi driver. He looked a little   17   and refused to take the money.

In dinners, perhaps what surprises an American visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their   18  . Actually, this is a   19   of true friendship and politeness. My Chinese friend told me if I didn’t want to eat it, I should just   20   the food in the plate.

D
After the September 11 terrorist attacks, some high schools in America wanted the students to pledge allegiance(宣誓效忠) to the flag. Is it necessary or not? Let’s see how the kids think of this requirement.
Lea Mouallem, Marymount High School
I believe that saying the Pledge of Allegiance is a way of reminding our country that no matter what happens, we are united. I don’t think our president wants us to go and join the army now, but he wants to tell us that we will be able to overcome the disaster as a whole nation that is working together.
Harry Chin, 15, Culver City High School
I am not for the Pledge of Allegiance and I am not against the Pledge of Allegiance because I just say it so many times that it loses meaning. I say it every day at school in the second period. It doesn’t mean anything any more.
David Tran, 15, Warren High School.
The Pledge of Allegiance is another sign of country. We should have some respect to it. In many schools, we don’t say the Pledge every morning-we just stand up and let the National anthem ring through the silence. We said the Pledge of Allegiance on Sept. 12.
Danny Maryanor, 16, Santa Monica High School
I wonder why we were suddenly asked to recite the Pledge when many of us stopped after elementary school; and the Pledge was recited before the play of “Ode to Joy” (欢乐颂)with recorders. This was not to express patriotism(爱国主义), or even to remember those who lost their lives on Sept. 11.
I feel I cannot support a nation that in this time of crisis looks outward for revenge(报复)instead of inward for peace. Perhaps we should think more about our problems.
68.Saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag first appeared in American schools______
A.after Sept. 11, 2000     B.before Sept. 11, 2001
C.on Sept. 11, 2001           D.after Sept. 11, 2001
69.Who were for the Pledge of Allegiance?
A.Lea Mouallem; David Tran        B.Harry Chin; Danny Maryanor
C.Lea Mouallem; Danny Maryanor    D.Harry Chin; David Tran
