B 難度 ★ Australia is a young nation, and the Australian people e from many different cultural backgrounds. As you make friends here, you’ll find there is no such a person as a typical Australian. You’ll e across a wide range of social customs and v iews of life, some of which may be very new to you. Here we want to present some of the different ways of greeting. First names are used more often in Australia than in many other countries. Australians often greet their friends, and even people they don’t know with Hey mate (同伴 )or How’s it going guys? An Australian may encourage you to use his given name, to address him informally, or even to use his nickname. A nickname is most monly used among friends, and is a sign of acceptance and friendship. The formal title or family name is only used in formal or other special situations, such as first meetings, or when you speak to someone like a professor. Titles like Mr, Mrs, Ms or Dr are then used, together with the family name. In Australia one looks directly at someone when talking to show interest in what he or she is saying. Australians make direct eye contact regardless of social position, and children are taught to look directly at adults. It is not considered impolite to give someone something with your left hand. 61.

Empty bee houses are causing worries about some important food crops. Bees give us a lot more than delicious honey. They are pollinators (傳粉媒介 ) helping plants to produce fruit and nuts. Dr. Jeff Pettis says, When a lot of bees die, the whole group is at risk. Researchers are trying to find out why so many bees are dying. However, Pettis explains bees are hard to study. Most die away from the bee house, so researchers don’t have dead bodies to study. And when researchers return to a bee house after two weeks, about half the bees they studied on their first visit will be dead. These busy insects fly away from their bee house in search of flowers, so when bees pick up diseases or poisons (毒 ), it is hard to know exactly where that happened. Researchers do have some ideas about what could be affecting the health of the bees. They could be sick from poisons, or they might not be getting enough good food. And a virus could be doing the killing. Pettis is hoping for a solution, because bees are very important. Here’s a good example of what bees give us, he says. You can eat plain oatmeal (燕麥 ) every day, and oats are pollinated by the wind. But if you want to add nuts to your oatmeal, those are the things you have to thank bees for. 66.
