Passage1 The customs of Germany are quite different from those of the UK. 2 The German students went to England for a competition. 3 The German students kept hands behind their backs because they didnt like the English students. 4 The English students knew that Germans shake hands a lot. TTFFe英语教程3Unit 5ScriptsPassageBefore you go to another country, it is helpful to learn about the language and some of the customs of the country.When people meet each other for the first time in England, they say, “How do you do?”, and shake hands. However, they do not shake hands if they see each other regularly. They only shake hands after they havent met for a long time, or when they will be away from each other for a long time. But things can be quite different in other countries.Last year, a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students, however, had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.e英语教程3Unit 5One of your close friends is planning to travel abroad, and this is his or her first time to visit a foreign country. Offer him or her some advice on the customs and cultural taboos of the country. You can do some research beforehand. Passagee英语教程3Unit 5PassageAdditional information:Cultural taboos in Egypt: Do not use your left hand in social situations either to gesture or touch an Egyptian because the left hand is considered evil and unclean. Be careful of your posture when dealing with Egyptians. Do not drape yourself over your chair, lean against a wall, or keep your hands in your pockets when dealing with an Egyptian. All of the above may be considered signs of disrespect.Cultural taboos in Thailand: Dont touch someones head for the head is considered the most sacred. Pointing at someone is considered rude in many cultures, particularly in Thailand. If you must indicate someone, do so by lifting your chin in their direction.e英语教程3Unit 5l Passage Al Passage BDoes travel broaden the mind?From Shakespeare to cultural exchangesReadinge英语教程3Unit 5Does travel broaden the mind?lLead-inlText studylExercisesPassage Ae英语教程3Unit 5Passage A A mothers ltter to the worldLead-inlExtended readinglPre-reading questionse英语教程3Unit 5Meal culture in ItalyOne of the great pleasures of Italy is eating. In Italy breakfast is normally around 8:00 a.m. and consists of biscuits or croissants (羊角面包), accompanied by strong coffee or perhaps tea. The main meal of the day is often lunch, which starts anywhere between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m. and may last up to there hours (depending on the region), although office workers will usually eat and leave faster. If a heavy lunch has been eaten, the evening meal may consists of a light snack. Dinner is usually around 8:00 p.m., but may be as late as 10:00 p.m. If the breadwinner cannot get back for lunch, dinner becomes the main meal. Children tend to stay up late, with no fixed bedtimes. Bread without butter is served and there is usually wine and water. When the family has guests, the headPassage A Does travel broaden the mind?Lead-in- Extended readinge英语教程3Unit 5of the household pours the first round of wine and may propose a toast and then everyone serves themselves. “Cheers” in Italy is “Salute.” A full-scale Italian meal is substantial, and so varied that it bears out the adage (谚语): the appetite grows with eating. Two main courses are preceded by a starter and followed by cheese, a dessert, and/or fruit. The starter is often a selection of cold meats and marinated (腌泡的) vegetables. Parma ham and melon are popular antipasti. The first main dish, the primo, is usually pasta or risotto or perhaps a soup. Minestrone is a vegetable soup. The second main course will be meat or fish plus a cooked vegetable, often servedPassage A Does travel broaden the mind?Lead-in- Extended readinge英语教程3Unit 5separately as a side dish. The contorni (including potatoes) oftenfollow the second dish as they are seen as palette cleansers (清洁剂) rather than as an accompaniment to the meat or fish. Pasta is almost never eaten as a meal in itself, except for lasagne (烤奶酪肉馅面条), and if you feel a whole portion of pasta as a first course is too much for you, it is acceptable to ask for a half portion. This may followed by cheese and fruit, then dessert and coffee. It is absolutely normal for Italians to drink wine with their meal, even in working hours. Tap water is free, but most Italians will ask for mineral water, either sparkling or still.Passage A Does travel broaden the mind?Lead-in- Extended readinge英语教程3Unit 5Passage A Does travel broaden the mind?Pre-reading questionsWork in groups to discuss the following questions.Do you travel a lot?

We often hear people say that travel broadens the mind: If you stay in your own country your whole life, your ideas remain narrow; if you travel abroad you see new customs, meet new people, eat new food, do new things, and come back home more broad-minded. e英语教程3Unit 5Passage ADoes travel broaden the mind?2. But does this always happen? An acquaintance of mine who lives in England had never been abroad; until last summer he decided to go to France for a trip. When he returned, I asked him how he liked it. “Terrible,” was his answer. “I couldnt get a nice cup of tea anywhere. Thank goodness Im back.” I asked him whether he had any good food while he was there. “Oh, the dinners were all right,” he said. “I found a little place where they made quite good fish and chips. Not as good as ours, mind you, but they were acceptable. But the breakfasts were terrible: no bacon or kippers. I had fried eggs and chips, but it was quite an effort getting them to make them. They expected me to eat rolls. And when I asked for marmalade, they brought strawberry jam. And do you know, they insisted that it was marmalade? The trouble is they dont know English.” _e英语教程3Unit 5Passage ADoes travel broaden the mind?3. I thought it useless to explain that we borrowed the word “marmalade” from French, and that it means, in that language, any kind of jam. So I said, “But didnt you eat any of the famous French food?” “What? Me?” he said. “Of course not! Give me good old English food every time! None of those fancy bits for me!” Clearly, traveling had not broadened his mind. He had gone to France determined to live there exactly as if he were in England and had judged it entirely from his own English viewpoints. e英语教程3Unit 5Passage ADoes travel broaden the mind?4. This does not, of course, happen only to Englishmen in France. People of all different races, in all foreign countries, can be found judging what they see, hear, taste, and smell according to their own habits and customs. People who are better educated and who have read a lot about foreign countries tend to be more ready to accept and adjust to foreign things, but this is because their minds have already been broadened before they start traveling. In fact, it is easier to be broad-minded about foreign habits and customs if ones acquaintance with these things is limited to books and films. The Americans smile tolerantly over the absence of central heating in most English homes when they are themselves comfortably seated in armchairs in their centrally heated houses in Chicago; the Englishmen read about the sanitary arrangements in a certain tropical country, and the inhabitants of the latter read about the London fogs, and each side manages to be detached and broad-minded. But actual physical contact with things one is not used to is much more difficult to bear._e英语教程3Unit 5Passage ADoes travel broaden the mind?5. Physical differences are not so difficult to adapt oneself to as religious, ethical, and irrational ones. Indonesians are trained from earliest childhood to give and receive things with the right hand only. The left hand is considered unclean. When a foreigner offers an Indonesian something with his left hand, or holds out his left hand to take something he is being offered, the Indonesian may explain this action rationally as arising from a difference in custom, but the deep prejudice against the use of the left hand, which he has been lectured about over and over again since he was young, will not be so easily done away with. _e英语教程3Unit 5Passage ADoes travel broaden the mind?6. There are some travelers who adapt themselves so successfully to foreign customs and habits that they are often severely criticized by their more stubborn fellow countrymen. If they are Asians, they are accused of having become “Westernized”; and if they are Eu
