39. Reading of the passage I had many travel stories while I was in China and some of them were so heart-warming and unforgettable. One travel experience where the openness and curiosity of the Chinese people helped to bridge our language and cultural differences was on a boat ride from Shanghai to Qingdao. As I walked around the deck, I'd frequently stop and write in my journal. Being the only non-Asian person on the boat, this drew quite a few curious looks, and finally a small group of people gathered around me and watched me write as if I were a sidewalk artist drawing portraits of passersby.

40. Unit 3 Reading of the passage I could tell they were enjoying watching me, so after I paused and smiled at them, I went on with my writing, mainly for their entertainment. But soon I stopped, and using my tiny amount of Chinese and their tiny amount of English, we introduced ourselves and told where we were from and where we were going. They took pictures of me with their friends and families, and I took pictures of them in return. When we arrived in Qingdao, I parted with my deck friends on the best terms and with a bit of advice about what to see and do in Qingdao.

41. Unit 3 Reading of the passage On another trip, after boarding a plane from Xiamen to Beijing, I discovered I'd lost my passport. Without it, I was stuck between two cities, neither of which was my home base. I tried to hide my panic, but I could see that the flight staff and the other passengers on the plane could tell. And maybe that was for the best because, to my amazement, they held up the flight and radioed the airport staff, who searched the airport while the flight staff searched the runway and the shuttle bus. Meanwhile, many of the passengers had begun searching the cabin.

42. Unit 3 Reading of the passage I didn't hear a single complaining voice; everyone was willing to help. Finally a police officer entered the plane and began to collect information from me. I was about to despair of finding my passport when suddenly a woman waved the small blue book in the air--she'd found it! The whole plane burst into smiles and applause. I was very relieved and grateful for the kindness I'd experienced from so many people who'd treated me like a friend in need and not just as a foreigner.
