Dennis is travelling to Thailand for the first time. He loves Thai food, but he is not familiar with Thai   36   . He doesn’t want to do anything offensive while he is there, so he has been reading up on some   37     in Thailand. First of all, Dennis finds that Thai people greet each other by placing their palms and fingers together. This   38    has a similar meaning to shaking hands in the U.S. In addition, he finds that he is not supposed to touch anyone on the head, which represents the   39    part of the body and should be respected, according to Thai beliefs. Such an action would be considered   40   . Of course, the police won’t arrest the person who does it, but the locals will be unhappy about it.

        The refugee crisis at America’s southern border with Mexico has become untenable. Thousands of people have chosen to leave their homes in Central and even South America. They often have to walk hundreds of miles in order to __36__ violence, war, gangs, and other life-threatening problems. However, the US government has put these refugees in cages, instead of receiving these refugees with __37__ and care. When dealing with the refugees, the US government has separated the children from their parents and __38__ them as if they are less than human. These people are put into detention sites, and the stories of disease, malnutrition, and death __39__ daily. What measures have been taken to take care of these refugees, particularly the refugees who are under age? Reports have now been __40__ that the government has lost over a thousand children and that hundreds of other children have had to endure sexual abuse while in custody. Clearly, the refugees need our help.
