I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and "keeping yourself to yourself" were valued traditions． Speaking to strangers was not encouraged． People were most hospitable and friendly--but only when they had been introduced to new people．
    However， I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US， where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different．
    I experienced Italian hospitality firsthand on a crowded railway carriage travelling， one afternoon， from Genoa to Florence． Sinking gratefully in to an empty seat， I was berated （斥責） in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seat- it had not been "spare" after all． I apologized in English， and got up to allow him back into the seat． The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language， but he， too， realized my genuine mistake． He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat， and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the remainder of the journey． The other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome among them． I feel that if this had been in England， a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated．
    Transport also featured in the differences I noticed between English and American culture． I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers． We sat together in near silence． Nobody spoke to me nor， as I expected， to anyone else they did not know． They felt it was not polite to intrude on someone else's privacy． However， when I travelled across the United States， whether by plane or Greyhound bus， I was never short of conversation． Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself． They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person， whether they were strangers or not．

1．Most smart phones allow you to run location-sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location．There are lots of great uses for this technology．（1）

So make sure you're permitted to use an app or service，and pay attention to how you are using it．Here're some important points you may find helpful．
   Choose what's best for you．Some location-sharing services are games that let you give a shout-out when you've turned up at a particular spot．（2）

Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting．Be sure you know exactly how your service shares your location．
   Know who your friends are．（3）

This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend．It's important to remember that sharing your location with people you've never met in real life is risky，so you should carefully manage friend requests and share your location only with people you know and trust．
   （4）

Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time，but others will send it forever-until you stop it．Review your contact list periodically and delete anyone to whom you no longer feel comfortable revealing your location．
   Update parents．Location-based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text．（5）

2．Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students，free periods （課、節(jié)） are useless.From what I have seen，few do homework. （1）

.This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any.As a senior next year，I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
   （2）

.Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one.We will experiment in different fields of study.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
   In my 8th grade，I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement；so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art.One of the projects was to build a clay pot，but I built mine incorrectly，so it broke in the kiln （窯）. （3）

.Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.However，the class was one of my favorites that year.I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
   （4）

!College is when we should focus on a specific major，but high school is when we have to figure it out.
   Half of all college students change their major at some point.By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take.So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. （5）

.

A.Our school offers many classes
B.We should find out what we are good at
C.I've avoided anything related to art since then
D.Instead，many are on their phones and talking
E.I found out that I have no artistic ability at all
F.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things
