26、   Before moving to Stokholm, I did my research on Sweden and was confident about my move. However, I quickly realized on my first day that so much of what I learned was so very wrong. There are many things that a Google search cannot show about Sweden.

The first is fika. A fika is taking a break from whatever you are doing to enjoy a coffee with friends. Swedes value community highly so it makes sense that they would like to set aside time each day to reconnect with others. Fika is a great time to meet new people as well as catch up with friends.

I grew up in the American South where everyone is very friendly. I found that little things like not being asked my life story at the coffee shop by the waiter upset me. However, Swedish people are not rude. Instead, they practice being logom, which means “just enough”.

The winters can be very dark and cold, so the Swedish people do not take any sunny day for granted. Since the weather has been fine, I have found myself walking a lot around Stockholm. Often it is easiest to get from place to place by walking, which allows you to see so much of the city and enjoy the fresh air. Though it has been very tiring to get used to, it also has made me feel better about all of the kardemummabullar that I have been eating!

I think it is important for students who want to study abroad to know that it is hard to move to countries no matter how “similar” you may think they may be. You have to jump in with both feet and be patient with yourself as well as others. As long as you keep an open mind and are willing to learn, you will have a great experience.

【1】What do we know about fika?

A.It is a waste of time. B.It is a way to balance life and work.

C.It is all about drinking coffee. D.It is a Swedish social tradition.

【2】What does the author think of Swedish people?

A.They are friendly. B.They seem a bit cold.

C.They appear really rude. D.They are interested in other's life.

【3】Why does the author like walking?

A.It is fun and not very tiring. B.It is good exercise on cold days.

C.It allows her to enjoy sunny days. D.It gives her the chance to eat the local food.

【4】What's the author's advice for students going abroad?

A.Be confident. B.Be careful.

C.Be open- minded. D.Be hard- working.

27、I grew up in California but have spent about four years living in various parts of the UK. The first thing I noticed was that my West-Midlands host family did not sound like the queen. I’ve since learnt that accents change almost every five miles. As far as America goes. I can tell the West Coast from the East or the South, but I can’t tell you a state, much less a county (郡).

The next thing I couldn’t imagine was the quiet, stare-ahead norm of public transportation- if you talk to somebody on the Tube, you’re probably a serial killer or a lost tourist.

I’ve had to deal with the Tube from Heathrow to Victoria with heavy bags more times and Victoria Station is not exactly tourist friendly. Each time I’ve had someone walk up and ask to help with my bags. Not once have they been English. In America, at least from what I’ve experienced, people will start a chat if they see you’re travelling by yourself, and I always immediately have someone taller offer to put my things in an overhead bin (行李箱).

Opening hours-especially Sunday trading laws have also taken so much to get used to. In America, 24/7 fast food, grocery stores. petrol stations, etc. are the norm. In my first year in the UK,I forgot it was Easter Sunday, and went into town at 2：00 pm. Imagine my surprise when 1 found the city center was deserted, and there wasn’t a single car at Tesco. Approaching the building, I saw a large sign announcing opening times. I had to make do with plain bread until 9：00 am Monday, when I’d be able to pay for groceries again.

Speaking of groceries, it took so many people telling me I was crazy to convince me to eat eggs here- they’re not refrigerated, and they’ll often have bits of feather or chicken waste on the outside. 1 am now aware that they ‘re safe, but coming from a childhood of perfectly clean, white, large AAA eggs, I was convinced I’d die a terrible salmonella (沙门氏菌) death.

【1】What’s the author’s impression of the transportation of the UK?

A．It’s very dangerous to use public transportations.

B．It’s easy for a tourist 10 get lost on public transportations.

C．British people willingly offer help on public transportations.

D．British people don’t talk to each other on public transportations.

【2】What happened on Easter Sunday in the author’s first year in the UK?

A．He left the city center.

B．He failed to buy any food.

C．A supermarket closed down.

D．A restaurant opened in a tall building.

【3】What is a good suggestion to a foreigner in the UK?

A．Try to speak like the queen.

B．Avoid eating unhealthy eggs.

C．Store some plain bread in the fridge.

D．Pay attention to the opening hours of the shops.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．How to Get Used to Life in the UK

B．What do I Find Strange about the UK

C．How Difficult It Is to Travel in the UK

D．What Can a Foreigner Expect in the UK
