Have you ever found that what may be normal to us may be strange to others? Why is that so? Not all strange things can be explained as tradition or custom. And what makes them strange in the first place? How did some of them become “traditional”?
In Thailand, it is very rude to walk into a person's house with your shoes on. Shoes are left at the front door. And it is considered rude to cross your legs in company and to point your toes at another person. The feet, as the lowest part of the body, are given the lowest respect. Pointing a toe is demeaning to the person at whom the foot is pointed.
Equally, the head is the most important part of the body and should never be touched by another. Children in most western countries are familiar with being patted on the head and consider it a compliment. In Thailand, however, it is extremely rude.
Also in Thailand and some other Asian countries, when two people meet it is the practice to hold the two hands together in a prayer position. It is called a whai in Thailand and takes the place of the western handshake. Once again this is a much cleaner greeting as there is no body contact. The height of the hands raised shows the importance of the person to whom the whai is made. The most common whai between two equals is with the tip of the fingers at nose level. When a person of a lower status (社会地位）meets a person of a higher status, the former raises the hands to forehead height and the latter to chest height. It is a very convenient way to greet a friend with a whai in a crowded room where personal contact is difficult. It seems so much more dignified and sincere to greet with a whai rather than a wave (招呼).
It is those customs which travelers consider “odd” that make travel worthwhile.
( )60.If you want to visit a friend in Thailand, it's necessary to _________.
leave your shoes at the door of your house
take off your shoes before entering his house
cross your feet to show your respect

people consider it as compliment
the head is given the lowest respect
the head is the most important part of the body
children are never allowed to touch the head

Some people believe aliens may visit the Earth and suggest applying UFO technology for country defenses.
Some files and documents from the Ministry of Defence make people believe aliens could visit 66 “military reconnaissance"，"scientific research" or “tourism”.
A desk officer said humans might think of the purpose of reported alien craft sightings first. Perhaps, aliens did not appear to be “hostile intent”（明显的敌意).
An unnamed scientist said it was "essential that we start with open minds?’ explaining “what is scientific ‘fact’?today may not be 67_______ tomorrow”. Although he did not "talk to little green men every night”，he said:“We have a guess that we have never satisfied. That is, we do not know if UFOs really exist. If they do exist, we do not know what they are, their purpose or 68_________ they pose a threat to the world.”
He added that “if reports are taken at face value?they showed the vehicles aliens took had 揳 very wide range of speeds and are stealthy (隐形)”. 69 he suggested, we could use this technology, if it exists."
His brief document lists possible 70 for UFO sightings, including mass hallucinations (集体幻觉) newly-designed aircraft, atmospheric events?and hoaxes (恶 作剧），but indicated none provide a fully convincing explanation.
It adds there are some indications that the reported incidents are only the tip of an iceberg and 71 people do not wish to risk embarrassment and so do not report sightings".
He also noted that the number of reports of strange objects in the skies?increased dramatically after the World War II, with most sightings coming from 44farmers, policemen, doctors and lovers?

It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade (消退) , or we t 72_________so. We bought her a lovely doll, and a doll house.
Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that she really wanted a bike more than anything c 73_________ But it was just too late. With such a lot of preparations to do for the Christmas dinner we did not have the time to buy our little girl bike. So，here we were Christmas Eve around 9.00 p.m., w74 ________ Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, sleeping in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the d75_________ of our child. “What if I make a little bicycle out of clay (泥)and write a note that she could trade the clay. bike in for a real bike??her dad asked. So he spent the n 76 four hours making a tiny clay bike.
On Christmas morning, we were e 77 waiting for Almie to open the little gift box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. “Does this mean that I can trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one??I said, “Yes.” Almie had t 78 in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I'd rather keep this than get a real bike.”
At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle in the world!

D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)
In New York City one day, a businesswoman got into a taxi. Because it was the rush hour and she was hurrying for a train, she suggested a route. “I’ve been a driver for 15 years!" the driver shouted. “You think I don't know the best way to go?”
The woman tried to explain that she hadn't meant to offend him, but the driver kept shouting. She finally realized he was too upset to be reasonable. “You know, you're right,” she told him. “It must seem dumb for me to assume you don't know the best way through the city.”
Taken aback, the driver flashed his rider a confused look in the rear-view mirror, turned down the street she wanted and got her to the train on time. “He didn't say another word the rest of the ride,?she said, 44until I got out and paid him. Then he thanked me.”
When you meet people like this taxi driver, there's an irresistible urge (无法避免）to dig in your heels (钻牛角尖）. This can lead to prolonged arguments, soured friendships, lost career opportunities and broken marriages. As a clinical psychiatrist, I've discovered one simple but extremely unlikely principle that can basically prevent any conflict or other difficult situation from becoming a recipe for disaster.
The key is to put yourself in the other person's shoes and look for the truth in what that person is saying. Find a way to agree. The result may surprise you.
Why did the woman suggest a route to the taxi driver?
The driver was not satisfied with the woman's suggestion, was he?
Did the driver become calm when hearing the woman's explanation?
82.Which route did the driver choose at last, the woman's or his own?
When did the driver said "thanks?to the woman?
What do you learn from the passage?
