5 . An old saying goes, “When in Rome (罗马), do as the Romans do.” I learned the meaning of this when I studied in Russia.

One day I ______ some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow. My guests and I were excited from visiting Red Square and happy about our meeting. We chatted ______ until the waiter told me that we were talking too loud. We turned our voices lower. But this didn’t last long. The waiter came over to us two more times with the same ______.

How bad an impression (印象) we must have left on the local people! In China, it’s natural and ______ for a host (主人) to make a lively atmosphere (气氛). However, in Russia and western countries, having a meal in a public place means you must ______ your voice low. You need to be polite to others.

I felt ______ about this. Even though we tried our best, it’s very difficult to form a new habit. Russians have their own special habits.

10 . 请根据上下文内容，将文中画线部分译成汉语或者英语。

It is just past five o’clock on the Chinese New Year’s Eve, and Luo Yan lifts the cover of a large bowl to breathe in the rich smell of the soup     1     his wife and mother have prepared.

Luo Yan and his wife and son have settled in the big city far away from their hometown. Their journey from the city where they live and work back to their hometown was a     2    漫长而又疲乏的 one just a few years ago. However,     3     the high-speed train has made it more convenient for them to go back home. During the four-hour trip, they chatted happily with each other.

    4    一到家, they find Luo’s parents eagerly waiting for them. Indeed, the family couldn’t be happier to be together. As midnight approaches, Luo Yan takes his parents, wife and son outside to set off firecrackers.     5     The whole village is lit up with the flashes of fireworks.
