An old saying goes, "When in Rome（罗马）, do as the Romans do. " I learned the of this when I studied in Russia.
One day I invited some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow. My guests and I were from visiting Red Square and happy about our meeting. We had a warm chat until the waiter told me that we were being too loud. We turned our voices . But this didn't last long. The waiter came over to us two more with the same message.
How bad an impression（印象）we must have left on the local people! In China, it's and important for a host to make a atmosphere（气氛）. However, in Russia and countries, having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice low. You need to be polite to others.
I felt bad about this. Even though we tried our , it's very difficult to develop a new habit.
Russians have their own special habits. My Russian friend, Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home. I asked him why he did this. "Aha, " Andrey said, "in Russia, people always take about a minute over things and plans in their minds before leaving. So they won't leave anything necessary behind. "
Finding the between cultures is much fun. I'd like to keep my eyes and mind.

Sure, it's good to get along well with(相处融洽)your teachers because it makes the time more pleasant in the classroom.
And yes, it's good to get along well with your teachers because it's smart to learn how to get along well with different kinds of people you'll meet in your life.
In fact, if kids get along well with their teachers, they will not only learn more, but also feel more comfortable about asking questions and getting more help. This makes it easier for them to learn about new things and do their best on tests. If you have this kind of relationship(关系)with a teacher, you can turn to him or her with problems in school.
It is true that teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes(个性冲突), it can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation(情况)better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By helping with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with different people.
However, if a certain teacher isn't your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her, especially if you finish your duties(责任)as a student.
Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people, it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual(年度的)celebration are determined(决定)by the lunar calendar rather than(而不是)the Gregorian calendar(公历), so the timing of the holiday varies(变化)from late January to early February. To the ordinary(普通的)Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the Lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first lunar month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival(元宵节), means the official(正式的)end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country.
Micheal was a good boy. He was hard-working but shy, so he had no friends at school. James was a new student in his class. Other students soon got on well with him except Micheal.
One day, some boys put some money into Micheal's bag and one of them pretended（假装）to have lost his money. Of course, they found the money in Micheal's bag at last.
Micheal felt shameful, but he could not say anything about it. Soon his classmates called him a thief and laughed at him at school. His teachers also believed he stole the money and called his parents to the school. Just then, James stood out and helped Micheal make everything clear.
From that day on, Micheal and James became good friends. James often took Micheal to take part in activities and Micheal became active. Micheal often helped James with his math. Then Micheal had got more friends, and he became the monitor in his class.
