When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guang Dong，China，we brought not only our luggage，but also our village rules，customs and culture.One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders.Unluckily，this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
   I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant.One time，when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple，the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly.I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly.As soon as I said that，her face showed great displeasure.My manager，who happened to hear what I said，took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive（敏感）Americans are and how they dislike the description（描述）"old".I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife.After the couple heard my reason，they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences，so they laughed and were no longer angry.
   In my village in China，people are proud of being old.Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty，and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience.Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However，in the United States，people think "growing old" is a problem since "old" shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well.Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging，and women put on makeup，hoping to look young.When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly，they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young.I had told them something they didn't want to hear.
   After that，I changed the way I had been with older people.It is not that I don't respect them any more；I still respect them，but now I don't show my feelings through words.

  • 2．I had been in the city for some time and was coming home.I missed my boat and decided to travel on an old ship.I knew that it would not be a comfortable journey but I had no time to wait for another boat.
       Hardly had we left the port when I saw the dog Gulliver，the captain's favourite dog，for the first time.What a big dog it was！I had never seen one that could frighten me so much!
       On the third day the ship caught fire.Nobody tried to put it out.The ship began sinking and all the men rushed to the lifeboats.I saw no chance of getting away in a boat.Suddenly I remembered there was a life raft（橡皮救生筏） on the ship.I had no time，so I immediately rushed towards the raft and pushed it into the water.
       In jumping down onto the raft I hurt myself badly and was unconscious for some time.When I came to，I found there was no sign of a lifeboat.Every man who had been on board the ship must have gone down with her.I was the only one who was saved.
       Then I saw Gulliver was coming fast towards the raft.It struggled a long time before it managed to get onto the raft.I wanted to push it back into the water but did not dare to move.The dog shook itself，went to the other end of the raft and lay down.I did not dare to sleep that night.I must watch it.In the moonlight I could see its eyes were open.It was watching，too.

  • 3．The most frightening words in the English language are "Our computer is down"．You hear it more and more when you are on business．
       The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said， "I'm sorry，I can't sell you a ticket．Our computer is down．"
       "If your computer is down，just write me out a ticket．"
       "I can't write you out a ticket．The computer is the only one allowed to do so．"
       I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen．Then I asked her， "What do all your people do？"
       "We give the computer the information about your trip，and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not．"
       "So when it goes down，you go down with it．"
       "That's right，sir．"
       "How long will the computer be down？" I wanted to know．
       "I have no idea．Sometimes it's down for 10 minutes，sometimes for two hours．There's no way we can find out without asking the computer，and since it's down it won't answer us．"
       After the girl told me they had no backup （備用） computer，I said， "Let's forget the computer．What about your planes？They're still flying，aren't they？"
       "I couldn't tell without asking the computer．"
       "Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he's flying to Washington，" I suggested．
       "I wouldn't know what gate to send you to．Even if the pilot was going to Washington，he couldn't take you if you didn't have a ticket．"
      "Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours？"
       "I wouldn't know，" she said，pointing at the dark screen． "Only 'IT' knows． 'IT' can't tell me．"
       By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines．The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down．Some people went white；some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage．

    （1）What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer？

    A．She could sell a ticket．
