If you travel around the world, you will be surprised to find just how different the foreign customs can be     50     your own.

    A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there     51     it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be     52     for washing yourself. Also in India, you might     53     a man apparently shaking his head at another and assume that he is disagreeing. But in many     54     of India a shake of the head is a gesture that shows agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when you are offered a     55     in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to indicate "yes" ― a nod indicates "no". The Arabs are     56     for their hospitality(好客). At a meal in the Arabic countries, you will find that any drinking vessel(器皿)is filled again     57     again as soon as you drain it. The way to     58     that you have had enough is to take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.

    In Europe it is quite usual to     59   your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could     60     him or her unhappy. It is considered too informal an attitude     61    such an occasion. Also when in Thailand you are     62     supposed to touch the head of an adult ― it's just not done. In Japan, it is quite usual for     63     to plan evening entertainment for themselves and leave their wives at home. In Europe such attitudes are disappearing.

Customs vary from country to     64    . Visitors may be at a loss as to what to do in a foreign environment. In such circumstances, the rule is: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Billions of people across the world use cell phones.

Cell phone use has   52   the line between work and non-work time, increasing stress and tension within families and between friends.

There is a risk of being too connected. While I was hiking in Spain, I got   54   a few times. I saw new sights and was surprised by   55   landscapes and towns I wouldn't have otherwise come across. Back in the US, whenever I got lost, I would always call a friend for   56   on my cell phone. With a cell phone, you're less   57   to go down the wrong street and see new things or unexpectedly meet new people.

So, when I recently returned home to Burlington, Vermont, I   58   my cell phone and traded in an old, rusty bike for a regular landline telephone that was connected to the wall and everything. Now, I go outside and don't make a phone call or check my phone.  59  , I've seen things in my neighbourhood I   60  noticed before, like a big flower garden around the block and artwork and sculptures down the road. Now that I'm not __61___ my cell phone, I've met new people on the street and at the supermarket, started   62   with neighbours I haven't spoken with before and talk with my friends face-to-face instead of over the phone. .

Instead of   63   me from the world, getting rid of my cell phone has helped me become more in touch with my community. I am no longer a   64   of my cell phone.

A. Go local

B. Enjoy yourself

C. Know your goals

D. Leave time for new findings

E. Pack light and right

F. Read up before you go

80._________

    When you sit down to plan your holiday, the first step is to make sure you’re very clear about what you want to get out of it. Do you want an immersion in culture, or do you want to simply recharge your body batteries? Do you want to read a sack of novels or tango till dawn? Do you want extensive family bonding time or time for every member of the family to try things on their own?

81._________

    Get a good guidebook or two and read up on the culture, history and attractions of the destination. Surf the Internet for more information; read local publications online. The more you know, the better you’ll be able to appreciate the place and choose from the many options it presents. And the better you’ll understand all the new things―sights, issues, people, rituals you encounter.

82._________

    Take clothes that are adaptable and cram everything you need into a carry-on bag if you can. Your heart will soar when you get to skip a line at the check-in counter  when you arrive and breeze by passengers waiting for their bags.

83._________

    Remember that the best moments of just about any trip are the unexpected ones. Leave plenty of time to visit an irresistible shop, have a long chat with an old-timer at a café or go on an impromptu day trip with new-found friends to a secret local spot.

84._________

Eat where the locals eat; shop where they shop. Ask the hotel clerk for recommendations. On my last trip to Hawaii, I heard about a neighbourhood hula festival from a hotel clerk. I feasted on homemade bread and fried chicken, and watched a heart-warming hula. It’s one of my most treasured memories. Open yourself up to the locals and you’ll find your most precious souvenirs.
