AIn 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia I was looking forward to having five fays off form duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I'd hitch a ride(搭便车). I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn't give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (使…放心）me Isafe，he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house，he made us sandwiches. After lunch，he helped me find a lift home. Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor Td been given decades earlier.I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk，the man said to me，"You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same."

It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater's 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanupwas a little different. As one group of workers earned out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.The film classic The Lust Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-be to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford saidhe chose the movie because it seemed appropriate The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater's location(位置) was also a reason. "this used to be the center of town." he said. "Now the area is mostly office buildingsand warehouses."Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turningthe old theater into a museum and public meeting place.

Among very good friends, a woman may give another woman a little hug, and a man may kiss a woman quickly on the cheek. Males don t hug one another, which, however, is changing. Men usually shake hands with the right hand. Sometimes they use the left hand to either cover the handshake or lightly hold the other person's arm. This shows greater warmth and friendship. Most people wave hello or good-bye by extending the palm(手掌）facing outward, and twisting the hand at the wrist. Another way is to raise the arm, palm outward, and move the whole arm and hand back and forth. Thisis important to know because in many other countries, the same movements mean "no" When people are waiting in a public place, such as the post office, they usually form lines. Some people get angry and complain if someone pushes their way into a line or jumps ahead of other people. Moreover, many women like men to open doors for them. They also like men to give up their seats on public transportation. However, some women do not like this type of behavior. They feel that men and women should be treated in the same way.In the United States, it's important to make direct eye contact in business and social situations. If you don't make eye contact, people will probably think that you are bored or not interested. If there is silence in these situations, people usually try to make conservation. Periods of silence make many people uncomfortable. People in the United States usually stand about one arm's length away from each other while talking or standing together. This space is called "the comfort zone".In the United States, mothers sometimes show that they are angry with children by shaking an index finger(食指) at them. People may show that they like children by patting them on the head.28.

In the United States, a mother sometimes shakes an index finger at her kids to show .A. boredomB. angerC. loveD. satisfactionDIf you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don’t need to feel surprised They are a flash mob (快闪族），which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly break up. I hey are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communication network. At a predetermined time，they gather and perform some distractions (消遣）such as waving their hands and exchanging books, Then, they quickly break up before the police can arrive. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason.Bill Lasik, senior editor of Harper's Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 but the first successful flash mob came together on June 3, 2003 - after the first attempt was foiled at Macy's department store. Lasik claimed that the activity was designed to make fun of hipsters (起时髦的人), and call attention to the cultural atmosphere.Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing and untrue, but is also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction. They also have great economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson's fans took part in a flash mob to remember him Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael's famous song "Beat It" together.
