Living in a different culture can be a both exciting and challenging(挑战性的)experience.You have to learn different cultures and try to get used to them.Let's share some cultural differences between China and the US to help understand each other.
Privacy(隐私)﹣Chinese people talk about subjects such as ages and income(收入),which Americans think is not polite.
Families﹣In China,elders are traditionally treated with respect(尊重).In America,the goal of the family is to encourage independence(独立),especially that of the children.Unlike the Chinese,few elder Americans live with their children.
Friends﹣Chinese people have different understanding of"friends".In China,"friendship"means a lifelong relationship between friends who think it's their duty to give each other any help.Americans always call people they meet friends.
Money﹣The Chinese like saving money.They are always careful when they are planning to spend money.It is different in America,where far fewer families are saving money.

In Hebei, there is a small village called Yeli. Through the village,you can see green trees along the riverbank. However, you can hardly imagine that, about 16 years ago, this area was covered with rocks and weeds(杂草). The big change is all because of years of hard work by two best friends: Jia Haixia, who is blind, and Jia Wenqi, who has no arms.
The two friends decided to plant trees to make a living back in 2002. Although both are disabled, they learned to work together by becoming each other's eyes and hands. With little money to buy young trees, they had to collect and plant cuttings(插枝,插条). Every morning, they went to the riverbank together. Jia Wenqi walked in the front and Jia Haixia followed him by holding one of his friends empty sleeves (衣袖). After they arrived at the riverbank, Jia Haixia would climb on his friend's shoulders to get cuttings and Jia Wenqi would tell him which cuttings were the best. After that, they dug holes on the ground and watered the cuttings together.
They planted 800 trees in the first year, but only two survived (存活). They didn't give up. Instead, they continued to plant more in the next few years. The riverbank is now home to over ten thousand trees.
Today, the two friends no longer need to make a living by planting trees, but they have no plans to stop. They aim to plant as many trees as possible in the area so as to protect the village from flooding (洪水)and to improve the local environment.

(3)How did these two disabled men work together?( No more than 12words)

As we all know, the "rice bowl" culture of China has influenced some Asian countries such as Japan, Korea and Vietnam since we started to use chopsticks while eating food.
Chopsticks are usually two long thin pieces of wood or bamboo. They can also be made of plastic, animal bone or metal. (1) The most important thing is that chopsticks are agreatinvention inChina.
Five thousand years ago people usually cooked their food in large pots, using twigs(小树枝)to remove it. (2) the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces. (4) Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs by people.And twigs were gradually changed into chopsticks.
Some people think that the famous scholar Confucius living from about 551 BC to 479 BC pushed the development of chopsticks. Confucius believed that using chopsticks instead of knives would remind people to stay away from killing and violence at table.
We enjoy our delicious food with our family members or friends while feeling the peaceful and people﹣loving world by using chopsticks at table anytime.

When Dr. Karen McComb came to Amboseli Park, her first task was to learn the names of the one hundred or so elephants most often seen.
Scientists working in the park have learned to study elephants by watching them up close. They have a list of almost one thousand elephants. There are records for all of the elephants born since 1972. Amboseli was a good place for Dr. McComb to study animal communications. Elephants were a great subject because their lifestyle depends on communication.
Dr. McComb and her team had learned a lot about elephant communication, but they kept on thinking about one puzzling (困惑的) watch. Some families were better at distinguishing (区别) calls of friends from those of strangers.
What made some families smarter than others? The scientists searched their records for an explanation. To their surprise, there was only one factor (因素) of importance: The "smartest" families always had the oldest grandmothers. A family, as it did in all other activities, waited for some signal (信号) from the grandmother when they heard a strange contact call. And older, more experienced grandmothers were better at telling whether other elephants were strangers or friends just by their calls.
That was an important discovery. It showed how an elephant family depends on the experience of the grandmother.
