Differences Between Two Kinds of Youth

原版：

The trip to the United State opened my eyes to the fact that there are a lot of similarities as well as differences between American youth and French youth. Now I will talk about the differences between them.

The first difference is in appearance. Going around in the U.S., I found that American youth do not really care about their appearance. In the morning, they choose something in their closet and wear it with another thing, often of different colors and styles, without wondering whether their choices make them look strange. The reason behind this is that they don't care what people look like, but are just interested in their ideas. I think it's great, but it also causes problems. Since they don't care about their appearance, they don't really care about their weight. Often they get fat without realizing it.

There are differences in relationships too. When the American youth fall in love, they don't really think of the future. Also, there are differences in the rules concerning behavior that is allowed. In some respects, the French are more accepting. For example, in America it is generally unacceptable to make physical display of love. Lovers, actually, can't kiss or hold each other everywhere they want. People think that not showing love in public places is a way to respect others. On the contrary, the French youth can do almost everything they want,and they are usually more concerned about the future of the relationship than American youth.

With regard to othet types of relationships ,there are also big differences.Americans act differently from French people in front of unknown people. When an American girl, for example, arrives in front of people she has never met before, she will talk with them, trying to create a kind of tie between her and this new circle of people. The French girls will just think about rather than really do this kind of thing because they are too shy and lacking in self-confidence.

To finish, I noticed that in American classes, when pupils want to say or ask something, they just do it. In general, they don't really care how the others will judge them. In France, it's not the same case. If somebody wants to ask something, he/she will think about it before speaking up. I appreciate the freedom in Americans' behavior, ideas, and ways of expressing themselves.

对美国的旅行让我打开眼界，有很多的相似性以及差异的美国青年和法国青年。现在我将讨论他们之间的差异。

第一个区别是在外观上。在美国，我发现，美国的年轻人不太在意自己的外表。在早上，他们选择在自己的衣柜的东西，穿的是另一件事，通常用不同的颜色和款式，不知道他们的选择使他们看起来很奇怪。这背后的原因是，他们不在乎别人的样子，但在他们的想法只是感兴趣。我认为这是伟大的，但它也造成了问题。因为他们不关心自己的外表，他们并不真正关心他们的体重。他们常常脂肪而不自知。

有差异的关系太。当美国青年相爱，他们真的不想未来。同时，有不同的规则的行为是允许的。在某些方面，法国更接受。例如，在美国，通常是进行物理显示不可接受的爱。‖，实际上，不能亲吻或拥抱他们到处都想要的。人们认为没有表现出在公共场所的爱是一种尊重他人。相反，法国青年几乎可以做任何他们想要的，他们通常更关注未来的关系比美国青年。

对于其他类型的关系，也有很大差别。美国人的行为在陌生人前法国人不同。当一个美国女孩，例如，到前面的人，她从来没有见过面，她将与他们谈话，试图创造一种把她和这个新的圈子的人之间。法国女孩只会思考而不是真的去做这类事情，因为他们太害羞、缺乏自信。

说完，我注意到在美国课堂，当学生想说或问点什么，他们只是做它。一般来说，他们真的不在乎别人会怎么评价他们。在法国，这是不一样的情况。如果有人想问什么，他/她会在开口说话前先想想。我欣赏美国人的行为，自由的思想，并表达自己的方式。

Shopping in America

原版:

Going shopping seems easy, but actually it takes a lot of learning, especially in America. In fact, many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at \special stores that sell things at low prices, which you may find interesting. In America, the important rule of dressing is that one should change his or her clothes every day. For example, in an American college, neither professors nor students are seen in the same clothes two days in a row. So you may find it necessary to buy more clothes than you

have in China. While you are shopping in the States, you will discover that prices range considerably from time to time. The purchase of used, second-hand clothing, furniture, or other household articles may be an excellent way of saving money. Most second-hand clothes are of pretty good quality.

Exchange and return policies vary from store to store. You should also keep in mind that exchange and return policies for sales items can be different from standard store policies, especially if the price of the items has been reduced. Ask the merchant about their exchange and return policies before making your purchase. Obtaining an exchange or a return without a store receipt is often difficult. So, to save yourself the headache,you'd better hold on to any paper or other proof of purchase.

Computer Viruses

原版:

The computer virus is an outcome of the computer overgrowth in the 1980s. The term computer virus comes from the likeness between the viruses that harm the body and the harmful viruses. However, computer viruses are small programs. They reproduce by attaching a copy of themselves to another program.

Once attached to another program, viruses then look for other programs to ―infect‖. In this way , the virus can spread quickly throughout a single computer or an entire network when it infects a LAN or a multi-user system. At some point, the virus attacks according to how it is programmed. The timing of the attack can be linked to a number of situations, such an a certain time or date, the presence of a particular object, the security level of the user, and the number of times a program is used .Similarly, the pattern of attack comes in different ways .The so-called―harmless‖ viruses might simply show a message, like the one that infected IBM‘s main computer system in 1987 with Christmas greetings. Harmful viruses are designed to damage the system. They can wipe out data, cross out information , or rewrite the hard disk.

Main Types of Viruses

There are four main types of viruses: shell, intrusive,operating system, and source code.

Shell viruses wrap themselves around a host program, but don‘t change it .Shell programs are easy to write, which is why about half of viruses are of this type.

Intrusive viruses invade an existing program and actually place a part of them into the host program. Intrusive viruses are hard to write and very difficult to remove without damaging the host file.

Shell and intrusive viruses usually attack executable program filesthose with a .com or .exe extension, although data files are also at risk.

Operating system viruses work by replacing part of the operating system with their wen code. They are very difficult to write and have the ability, once loaded, to take total control of your system.

Source ode viruses are intrusive programs that are inserted into a source program such as those written in Pascal prior to the program being followed. They are the least common viruses because they are not only hard to write, but also have a limited number of hosts compared with the other types.

Be Cautious About the Second Network Viruses

Do you believe it? Network viruses can steal money! And they are coming for your computer right now. So far the Internet has become the main channel through which computer viruses spread. Even without getting information from the network, your computer can be infected by the second network computer viruses, which are hidden in some machines on the network.

The virus that can steal your money is a kind of the second network viruses. It was designed and inserted in some machines on the network. When your computer is linked to one of these machines, the virus will invade your hard disk and search whether Intuit Quicken, an accounting program, is installed. One of this accounting program‘s functions is to transfer accounts automatically. Once the program is infected, your money will be transferred to an additional account opened by the virus program without anybody knowing it.

1、Computer viruses are small programs,which______ A) Are similar to the viruses that harm the human boy B) Invade a living cell and produce other viruses

C) Reproduce by attaching a copy of themselves to another program D) Come into being during the computer overgrowth in the 1990s 2、Viruses can infect other programs if only they are ____ A) Affected by another program B) Spread throughout a computer C) Attached to another program D) Attacked by other programs

3、People create viruses for the purpose of ________ A) Showing a message B) Damaging the system

C) Delivering a season‘s greeting D) Linking some machines

4、The four main types of viruses do not include______ A) Instrusive

B) Operating system C) Source code D) Hard disk

5、About 50% of viruses are shell viruses,because shell viruses ________ A) Reproduce fast

B) Invade an existing program C) Are easy to write D) Have a host program

6、What do intrusive viruses place into a host program? A) The host file B) Some virus

C) A part of the program D) An existing program

7、What must an operating system virus do before overtaking an operating system? A) Load onto the system

B) Take control of your system C) Replace its code

D) Write an operating system

译文：

计算机病毒是八十年代计算机飞速发展的结果。这个词来自于病毒，计算机病毒的危害人体和病毒之间的相似之处。然而，计算机病毒是一些小程序。他们复制自己的一个副本附加到另一个程序。

一旦附加到另一个程序，然后再寻找其他程序病毒―感染‖。在这种方式中，病毒可以迅速蔓延，在一台计算机或一个网络，如果病毒感染了一个局域网或者一个多用户系统。在一些点，病毒攻击根据它是如何编程。攻击的时间与多种情况，这样一个特定的时间或日期，一个特定对象的存在，用户的安全水平，和一个程序的次数使用。同样，攻击的方式来在不同的方面。所谓的―无害‖的病毒可能简单地显示一个消息，像一个被感染的IBM的主要计算机系统在1987圣诞节的问候。有害的病毒被设计来破坏系统。他们可以消除数据，跨出信息，或重写硬盘。 病毒的主要类型

主要有四种类型的病毒：外壳，侵入，操作系统，和源代码。

外壳型病毒包裹自己周围宿主程序，但不改变它。外壳程序很容易写，这就是为什么大约一半的病毒程序是这种类型的。

病毒侵入已有的程序，实际上是把他们的一部分到宿主程序。入侵型病毒难以编写，在去除破坏主文件很难。

型和入侵型病毒通常攻击可执行程序filesthose用。COM或。EXE扩展，虽然数据文件都是危险的。

操作系统病毒通过其文码取代操作系统的一部分工作。他们写和有能力，很难一次加载，以完全控制你的系统。

源码病毒侵入性程序，插入到一个源程序，如在编写程序之前被跟踪。他们是最常见的病毒，因为他们不仅是难写，但也有数量有限的主机与其他类型的比较。 关于第二网络病毒的谨慎

你相信吗？网络病毒可以窃取金钱！他们正在为你的计算机现在。到目前为止互联网已经成为计算机病毒传播的主要渠道。即使没有从网络获取信息，您的计算机可以通过第二网络计算机病毒感染，这是隐藏在网络上的一些机器。

会偷钱的病毒是一种第二网络病毒。它的设计和插在网络上的一些机器。当你的计算机连接到这样的机器上时，病毒会入侵你的硬盘和搜索是否直觉加快，会计程序，安装。一个这样的会计程序的功能是自动转帐。程序一旦感染，你的钱将被转移到另外一个账户的病毒程序，没有人知道它。

My Way and YourWay

原版:

Like any relationship, a marriage requires effort and commitment. After the period of time leading up to marriage, living together can be both challenging and rewarding. Honest communication, friendship, and respect are important ingredients for a happy and fulfilling marriage. These elements can be worked on, and in turn, reward effort. It is wise to think of marriage as a marvelous living being between two people, needing nourishment and returning nourishment.

Friendship

Friendship means everything from simple joy in another‘s company to deep respect for one another‘s feelings. People need to be accepted, and to be able to accept one another without judgment; it is the key to personal growth. Individuals grow, so does the marriage. If I can tell my husband exactly how I‘m feeling—even if I‘m feeling really bad about myself, he can accept me, and I can do the same to him, then we can grow and become better people in this safe environment. However, this isn‘t an easy ideal to live up to.

Two Ways

We enter marriage as individuals, unique and complicated products of different life experiences. No two families are the same, and people come into marriage with different ideas on everything from money to child rearing. My father was very generous with money, believing that whatever you gave away came back to you. One day, a very poor person came to our door, and my father handed him the last few pounds in his pocket, much to my mother‘s anger. My father went back to his work—he repaired furniture, and started ripping a chair apart, and out fell a twenty-pound note! I would have to say that my father‘s philosophy influenced mine, whereas my husband comes from a much more thrifty (节俭的) family. Even after thirty years of marriage, we‘d still have to work things out with regard to money. In any marriage, there‘s a ―my way‖ and a ―your way‖, and the best is to find an ―our way‖, a balanced compromise.

The expression ―working at marriage‖ may sound strange, like doing a job. However, making the effort for your partner means keeping the fire of romance alive through the day-to-day life of living together. This work can include candle-lit dinners,

weekends, and wearing what your partner finds attractive. This comes from an active decision to love, which, in turn, creates more love, like a fire that fuels itself.

Two Individuals

Always remember that you are two individuals. It‘s important to keep outside interests, and to develop new ones, so that you have more and more to bring to the relationship. Keep it vital. Even though I have lived with my husband for thirty years, there are still things I‘m learning about him. If you can see your partner coming home in the evening and still be glad to see him, that‘s what it‘s all about.

In maintaining your sense of yourself as an individual, remember that your partner is also an individual, not someone to be taken for granted. When you‘re in a relationship with somebody for twenty or thirty years, it can easily happen for you to take him/her for granted, or for him/her to do the same to you. This is where honest communication comes in, ―Look, I feel I‘m being taken for granted here‖, and if the other person is able to hear it and accept it—then you can work out how to deal with it.

1、A successful marriage requires_____ A) living together B) communication

C) challenges D) common interests

2、What is the key to personal growth?

A) Be accepted and accept others without judgment. B) Show deep respect for one another‘s feelings.

C) Be able to enjoy simple things together with others. D) Get pleasure from working with others.

3、If a couple can share their feelings and accept each other,_____ A) they may feel so badly

B) they can set up a good example for others C) they can grow and become better people D) they may find great pleasure in it

4、When two people get married, they ______. A) are usually generous with money B) have different ideas on many things C) try to make their families the same D) try to adapt to each other

5、How is the author influenced by her father? A) She repairs furniture as her father B) She influences others as her father

C) She is careful with money as her father. D) She is generous with money as her father.

6、In any marriage, it is desirable ______. A) for the couple to be generous B) to reach a balanced compromise

C) to switch from ―my way‖ to ―your way‖ D) to listen to the partner who is right

7、―Working at marriage‖ means you should______ A) make efforts to keep the fire of romance alive B) take marriage like doing a job

C) prepare candle-lit dinners in the evening D) make an active decision to love

译文：

像任何关系，婚姻需要努力和承诺。时间导致了婚姻的时期后，生活在一起，既可以是具有挑战性和奖励。诚实的沟通，友谊，和尊重是一个美满的婚姻的重要因素。这些元素可以工作，并反过来，奖励的努力。认为婚姻是一种奇妙的生物之间的两个人是明智的，需要的营养和恢复营养。 友谊

友谊来自另一公司的简单的快乐为彼此的感情深厚的尊重意味着一切。人们需要接受，并能接受一个没有判断；它是个人成长的关键。个人成长，那么婚姻。如果我可以告诉我的丈夫到底如何，我觉得即使我觉得自己真的很坏，他能接受我，我可以做同样的事情，然后我们可以发展成为在这个安全的环境更好的人。然而，这并不是一个简单的理想生活了。 两种方式

我们作为个人进入婚姻，不同的人生经历独特而复杂的产品。没有两个家庭是相同的，与人接触到不同的思想的婚姻从钱抚养孩子的一切。我的父亲是花钱很大方，相信无论你放弃了回到你。有一天，一个很穷的人来敲我的门，我的父亲给了他最后的几磅装在他的口袋里，很多母亲的愤怒。我的父亲回到了他的工作，他修理家具，并开始把椅子外，掉出一张一二零英镑的钞票！我得说我父亲的哲学影响我的，而我的丈夫来自一个更节俭的家庭（节俭的）。甚至在三十年的婚姻，我们仍然有工作方面的钱。任何婚姻，有一个―我‖和―你的方式‖，而且最好是找一个―我们‖，一个平衡的妥协。

表达―在婚姻‖听起来可能很奇怪，喜欢做的工作。然而，让你的合作伙伴努力保持活着的浪漫史的火通过共同生活的日常生活。这项工作可以包括烛光晚餐，周末，穿什么，你的伴侣觉得有吸引力的。这是来自于爱，一个积极的决策，反过来，创造出更多的爱，这样的燃料本身的火。 两个人

永远记住，你们是两个人。保持外部利益是很重要的，以及开发新的，所以你已经越来越引起的关系。保持它的重要。尽管我和我的丈夫三十年的生活，仍有一些事情我了解他。如果你能看到你的伴侣晚上回家，还是很高兴看到他，这就是所有的一切。

保持你的自我感觉作为一个个体，记住，你的伴侣也是一个人，没有人是理所当然的。当你在二十或三十年的人的关系，它可以很容易地为你把他/她是理所当然的事，或为他/她

做同样的给你。这是诚实的沟通时，―看，我觉得我被视为理所当然的在这里‖，如果其他人能够听到它，接受它，然后你可以解决如何处理它。 1、成功的婚姻需要_____ 一）一起生活 B）通信 C）的挑战 D）的共同利益

How to Lengthen Time—24Hours Is Enough!

原版:

As I participated some years back in a live-to-air TV training session on Time Management a caller rang in with a question. He was in the computer industry, and wanted to know how he could balance his heavy and demanding workload with the demands of a young family. The question lingers in my mind – for a large sector of society it is a serious matter.

The issue is how we view time. It seems that we never have enough. My man desperately wanted to know how to find the time to enjoy his children. His question is cried out in offices, classrooms, boardrooms and homes throughout the western world.

Today many of us live in a world of sensory overload, of speed and a sense of time-poverty. Technology moves faster and faster. We feel as if we can never catch up, that there is never enough time. But it‘s illusion. Time hasn‘t changed – we have.

So,what can we do? Here are a few strategies for you. Schedule in the Important People In Your Week

If you don‘t block in ?special‘ time with your special people, they‘ll eventuallyget tired of waiting. Do you remember the old song by Harry Chapin, ?Cat‘s in the cradle‘? The little boy, waiting for his dad to spend time with him, kept saying, ?One day I’ll be just like you‘. When his dad was an old man, longing to see the son who never came, he found that indeed, the promise had been delivered. If you wait for ?spare time‘ you‘ll never have it.

Live in the ‘Now’

Today many of us have forgotten how to live in the moment. We make bedfellows of stress and anxiety. We focus either on the past and what we could have done better, or in the future – planning or worrying over coming events. We‘re so busy squeezing more in to every moment that most of us forget to be ?present‘. We therefore miss the joy of the experience. And so time seems to race by – because we‘re not ?in‘ it.

Change Your Language

Notice your words, and how the people around you speak. How often do you hear ?I‘m so busy‘, ?I can‘t fit it in‘, ?I have no time‘, and ?I‘m always late/overworked/tired/have too much to do?? Start to use affirmations like ?I‘m getting much better at my time management‘ or ?There is always enough time to do the things that matter‘.

Have an Attitude of Gratitude

Practice honouring the moment. Develop a sense of gratitude for the gift of life, for the beauty of small things. Find something in every event to appre

ciate. This is not just ?Pollyanna‘ behaviour – it will enhance your health and stretch your hours.

Enjoy the Mundane

Next time you wash the dishes, the car, mow the lawns, feed the children, sort out the paperwork on your desk or any other simple task , enjoy the activity for itself. Try not to spend the time in which your body is occupied thinking about something else. Don‘t wish the task was completed – honor the moment and the experience. You‘ll be more relaxed when you finish. Time will expand instead of leaving you with the feeling of hurry, pressure and impatience often felt with a mundane task. And many times you‘ll be surprised to find that it was a pleasant duty instead of the chore you didn‘t want to do.

Think Deeply

Learn to think deeply, or if his this seems too hard, try every day to sit quietly for at least 10 minutes. Focus on a plant or some other object.As thoughts move into your mind,recognize them and let them go.Breathe deeply,mentally saying‖Breathe out‖with every outgoing breath and ―Breathe in‖with every incoming breath.This helps you show down to the natural rhythms around you.It ―lengthens‖time.

1、What is the question from one caller that stays in the author‘s mind? A) How to live up to the expectations of the boss. B) How to keep a balance between work and family. C) How to keep high efficiency in one‘s job. D) How to get promoted fast.

Unit 5 Passage 3第73页到第76页

The Power of an Apology

原版:

The call for an apology when people feel they have been unjustly treated has become a major issue in our society today. Why is an apology so important?And why is it that most people feel they need to prove their position reasonable when really all the other person look for is an apology?They don‘t care why you did it---they just it---they want you to admit the great effect your behavior had on them.

Meet in a Peaceful Environment

I know a man who has been in personal conflict with his father for some 18 years. It first started when he was a teenager and just seemed to become worse.

Many years later the time had come when my friend felt that he was ready to confront the issue and so a meeting was arranged between him and his father. My friend was feeling anxious, and was also nervous about how the meeting would go, so he sought my support to arrange the session. (I must say I was also feeling anxious about how it would go！) go！

The meeting took place in a peaceful environment, a park. After the son talked about how he felt and what had troubled him for so many years, the father said, ―Son, I apologize for not being there when you needed me. I am so sorry that I was so caught up with my career that I wasn‘t there for you. I truly love you ----can you forgive me?‖

It was miraculous. All the son wanted to hear was that his Dad was sorry and that he loved him. They embraced, and for the first time in years, really started to talk. The apology created room for other issues to be discussed in a reasonable manner. They talked about things that had happened and what they meant to them both at the time. The father discovered that certain things of which he wasn‘t aware had hurt his son,and an understanding followed.

Is an Apology Needed?

In business too,we often do things that are inappropriate or upsetting to someone else.We may criticize someone‘s work in front of their coworkers;miss an important deadline;let others down by not doing what we promised to do;say something hurtful. It‘s not easy to apologize,but the results can be very powerful.

Let Them Talk and Really Listen

Have you noticed that when you are really mad, often all you want is to be heard? When I run customer service training programs, this is the first thing we talk about in handing complaints. Just let the people get it out! Give them room to express their feelings and respect their need to communicate their feelings. It‘s surprising how often it happens that once they have got it off their chest, the issue no longer has the same power it had and a solution can be worked out.

Seek Clarity ?

Often we have no idea that our behavior has offended. At these times it is good to ask appropriate questions to clarify what is being said. These is often a tendency to take things personally by responding with anger to what is being said----doesn‘t this just make the situation worse? What impressed me about the man and his father was that the conversation took place in an environment of respect. No one was blaming the other----they were simply seeking clarity as to how it was for the other person, and that really worked.

Ask for Forgiveness

But why should I apologize and ask for forgiveness---it wasn‘t my fault! How often do you hear people saying that! The truth is, often it wasn‘t their fault----it was the other person reacting in a way that they might not have expected. Be honest, how often do you think of the other person‘s needs and concerns before you take action? When do you stop to think about the words you use and the impact they may have on other people? ?

Is there someone to whom you should make an apology? Whether it‘s about a big thing or just a small incident, take the courage to apologize----it has the power to change your relationship forever.

打电话道歉当人们感到他们被不公正地处理已成为当今社会的一个重大问题。为什么道歉如此重要？这就是为什么大多数人觉得他们需要证明自己的合理定位时，真的所有其他人看的是一个道歉？他们不关心你为什么它---他们只是它---他们要你承认你的行为对他们有很大的影响。 在和平的环境中满足

我知道一个人一直在与他父亲约18年的个人冲突。一开始的时候他还是个少年，似乎变得更糟。

许多年后，是时候了，我的朋友认为他已经准备好面对这个问题，所以安排了一次会议，他和他的父亲之间。我的朋友感到担忧，也担心会会去，所以他寻求我的支持安排会议。（我必须说，我感觉还担心它会如何去！）！

会议发生在一个和平的环境，一个公园。在儿子谈到他感到什么困扰着他这么多年了，爸爸说，―儿子，我很抱歉没有你需要我的时候。我很抱歉，我赶上了我的事业，我不在你身边。我真的爱你，你能原谅我吗？―

这是神奇的。所有的儿子想听到的是他爸爸很难过，他爱他。他们互相拥抱，和多年来的第一次，真的开始说话。道歉了在合理的方式讨论其他问题的房间。他们谈论所发生的事情，他们想他们都在时间。父亲发现某些东西，他没有意识到已经伤害了他的儿子，和理解。 是一个需要道歉吗？

在业务，我们经常做的事情是不适当的或其他人心烦意乱。我们可以在他们的同事面前批评别人的工作；错过一个重要的最后期限；让人失望的不是做我们答应做；说一些伤人的。它的道歉是不容易的，但结果是非常强大的。 让他们说话真的听

你有没有注意到，当你真的疯了，经常要被听到？当我运行客户服务培训项目，这是我们首先讨论在处理投诉。只是让人得到它！给他们空间去表达他们的感情和尊重他们的需要表达自己的感情。令人惊奇的是，常常，一旦他们有了自己的胸部，问题不再具有相同的功率就可以算出，解决方案。 寻求清晰？

我们常常不知道我们的行为冒犯了。在这些时间是很好的问正确的问题来澄清所说的。这些往往是倾向于用事的愤怒是有人回应说，这不只是使情况变得更糟？给我留下深刻印象的人

和他的父亲，对话发生在互相尊重的环境。没有人指责对方----他们只是寻求明确的为其他人是如何工作的，真的。 请求宽恕

但我为什么要道歉，请求原谅，这不是我的错！你经常听人们说！事实上，通常这不是他们的错——这是对方的一种方式，他们可能没有预期的反应。老实说，你经常考虑其他人的需要和关注在你采取行动？当你停下来想想你的用词和影响，他们可能对其他人？？

有人谁你应该道歉了吗？无论是大事还是小事，把勇气道歉——它能永远改变你的关系。 1、当人们感到他们被不公平的对待，他们通常_______ 一）把它作为一个主要的问题 B）想证明自己的合理定位 C）想得到一个道歉 D）不在意

By some estimates, approximately half of our waking thoughts consist of daydreams and fantasies.

Although everyone sinks occasionally into each of these types, positive daydreamers are more likely to imagine happy and entertaining situations.

The History of Harvest Festivals

原版:

Throughout history, mankind has celebrated the abundant harvest with thanksgiving ceremonies.

Before the establishment of formal religions, many ancient farmers believed that their crops contained spirits which made the crops grow or die. Many believed that these spirits would be released when the crops were harvested and they had to be destroyed, otherwise they would take revenge on the farmers who harvested them. Some of the harvest festivals celebrated the defeat of these spirits.

Harvest festivals and thanksgiving celebrations can be found around the world in

many cultures from ancient times to the present. The Greeks

The ancient Greeks worshipped many gods and goddesses. Their goddess of corn (actually all grains) was Demeter who was honored at the festival of Thesmosphoria held each autumn.

On the first day of the festival, married women would build leafy shelters and furnish them with couches made from plants. On the second day the fasted .On the third day a feast was held and offering to the goddess Demeter were made---seed corn, cakes, fruit, and pigs. The ancient Greeks hoped that Demeter‘s gratitude would grant them a good harvest next year. The Romans

The Romans also celebrated a harvest festival called Cerelia, which honored Ceres, their goddess of corn, from which the word cereal comes. The festival was held each other on October 4th and the first fruits of the harvest and pigs were offered to Ceres. Their celebration included music, shows, games, sports, and a thanksgiving fest. The Hebrews

Jewish families also celebrate a harvest festival called Sukkoth. Taking place each autumn, Sukkoth has been celebrated for over 3,000 years.

Sukkoth began on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Tishri ([犹太历]，提市黎月), five days after Yom Kippur(赎罪日), the most solemn day of the Jewish year. Sukkoth was named for the huts that Moses and the Israelites lived in as they wandered around the desert for 40 years before they reached the Promised Land. These huts were made of branches and were easy to assemble, take apart, and carry as the Israelites wandered through the desert.

When celebrating Sukkoth, which lasted for eight days, the Jewish people built small huts of branches, which recalled the ones their ancestors once lived. These huts were constructed as temporary shelters, as the branches were not driven into the ground and the roof was covered with leaves that were spaced to let the light in. Inside the huts were hung fruits and vegetables, including apples, grapes, and corn. On the first two nights of Sukkoth, the families ate their meals in the huts under the evening sky. The Egyptians

The ancient Egyptians celebrated their harvest festival in honor of Min, their god of planting and productivity. The festival was held in the springtime, the Egyptian‘s harvest season.

The festival of Min included a characteristic show in which the pharaoh (法老) took part. After the show, a great feast was held. Music, dancing and sports were also part of the celebration.

When Egyptian farmers harvested their corn, they wept and pretended to be grief-stricken. This was to deceive the spirits which they believed to live in the corn. They feared the spirits would become angry when the farmers cut down the corn where they lived.

The Americans

In 1621, after a hard first year in the new world, the pilgrim‘s fall harvest was very plentiful. There were corn, fruits, vegetables, along with fish which was packed in s

alt, and meat that was smoke cured (烟熏贮藏) over fire. They found they had enough food to put away for the winter.

The Pilgrims had beaten the odds (逆境). They built homes in the wilderness, they grew enough crops to keep them alive during the long coming winter, and they were at peace with their Indian neighbors. Their Governor, William Bradford, announced a day of thanksgiving that was to be shared by all the colonists and the native American Indians.

The custom of an annually celebrated thanksgiving, held after the harvest, continued in the years followed. During the American Revolution (late 1770‘s), a day of national thanksgiving was suggested by the Continental Congress.

In 1817 New York State adopted Thanksgiving Day as an annual custom. By the middle of the 19th century many other states also celebrated a Thanksgiving Day. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln appointed a national day of thanksgiving to be observed on the last Thursday in November. Every president after Lincoln issued an annual announcement to set the date of Thanksgiving. This continued until 1941 when a joint congressional resolution officially set the date as the 4th of Thursday in November.

Tips on Tipping

原版:

It's every traveler's nightmare. The porter brings your bags to your room and helpfully explains how to use the television. He shows you how to turn on the lights and adjust the air-conditioner. Then he points to the phone and says: \there's anything else you need, just call.\much should I tip this guy?\hand, hoping that you've neither offrnded him nor become tge sole benefactor of his son‘s college tuition.

It's difficult to divine what constitutes an appropriate tip in any country. In Japan, if you leave a couple of coins on the table, the waiter may chase after you to return

your forgotten change. In New York, on the other hand, if you leave less than 15%, your reservation might not hold up next time. Asia, with its multiplicity of cultures and customs, is a particularly difficult terrain. To make your next trip a little easier, here's a guide to tipping across the region: Bangkok

There are no established rules of tipping in Bangkok,capital,captail of Thailand.Some places expect it; others don‘t. In general, the more westernized the places is, the more likely you‘ll be expected to leave a tip.

Restaurants: Some expensive restaurants will add a 10% service charge to the bill. If not, waiters will appreciate you tacking on the 10% yourself. However, if you're eating at a cheapeatery a tip is not necessary.

Porters:At Bangkok‘s many five-start hotels,you‘re expect to tip the porter 20 to 50 baht, depending on how many bags you have.

Taxis: Taxis are now metered in Bangkok. Local custom is to round the fare up to the nearest five baht. Jakarta

Tipping is not part of local culture, but international influences have turned some Westernized palms upward in search of a few extra rupiah.

Restaurants: A 10% service charge is added at most high-end restaurants. At moderately priced restaurants, 5,000 rupiah should do it. If the service is superb, add an extra 1,000 or so.

Porters:Pay a few hundred rupiah for each bag.

Taxis:Most taxi drivers will automatically round up to the next 500 rupiah.Some will claim they have no change and will cleed you for more.Don‘t accept anything more than a 1000-rupiah increase. Kuala

Like Indonesia, tipping in Malaysia is confined to the pricier westernized joints, which often add a 10% service charge to your meal or hotel bill.

Restaurants: If you are at a hotel restaurant, expect a 10% service charge or add the equivalent amount yourself. But at local stalls, there's no need to add a tip.

Porters:At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit will be enough. At lower-end establishments, don't feel compelled to tip.

Taxis:Many taxis are now metered, so you can just round up to the nearest ringgit.In ummetered taxis,expect a session of hard bargaining for the ride. Manila

Tipping is common in Manila, the Phillippines,and anything above 10% will gain you long-lasting loyalty.

Restaurants:Even if a service charge is included, it is a custom to add another 5%-10% to the bill.

Porters:Service in top hotels is good and should be rewarded with 20 pesos per bag.

Taxis:Most taxicabs are metered, and rounding up to the next five pesos is a good rule of taking taixs. Seoul

Tipping is not part of Korean culture, although it has become a rule in international hotels where a 10% service charge is often added.

Restaurants:If you are at a Korean barbecue joint, there's no need to add anything extra. But a sleek Italian restaurant may require a 10% service charge.

Porters:If you are at a top-end hotel, international standards apply, so expect to pay 500-1,000 won per bag.

Taxis:Drivers don't expect a tip, so unless you‘re feeling remarkably generous,keep the change for yourself. Singapore City

According to government rules in the Lion City, tipping is a no-no. It's basically outlawed at Changi Airport and officials encourage tourists to neglect the 10% service charge that many high-end hotels add to the bill.

Restaurants: Singaporeans tend not to leave tips,especially at the outdoor eateries.Nicer restaurants do sometimes charge a 10% service fee, but there‘s no need to supplement that.

Porters:Hotel staff is the one exception to the no-tipping rule. As a general guide, S＄1would be adequate for baggage-lugging service.

Taxis:Drivers don't expect tips, but they won't refuse if you want to roud up the fare to the nextSingapore dollar.

给小费的学问 1．对于每一位旅行者来说，这都像是一场噩梦。行李员把你的行李搬到房间，向你解释如何收看CNN，告诉你怎么开灯，怎麽把空调调好。然后他指着电话说：―如果你还需要什么，请打电话。‖而你却一直在反复思考着一件事：―我到底该给这家伙多少小费?‖最终，你近乎绝望地把几张钞票塞进他手里，心中暗暗希望你给的小费不多也不少。

2．知道在每一个国家该给多少小费并不容易。在日本，如果你在桌上留下几个硬币，侍应生会追着还给你留下的零钱。在纽约则恰恰相反。如果你给的小费少于消费额的15％，那么下次你预定的桌子可能就会被人占去。由于亚洲各国文化和风俗习惯差异较大，因此在这里给小费格外困难。为了让你下次旅行较为顺利，我们向你提供一些在这一地区给小费的窍门。

3．曼谷 总的说来，一个地方西化的程度越高，你就越有可能需要给小费。有些高级的饭店会在帐单里加收10％的服务费。如果没有的话，侍者会感激你自己附上那10％。不过，如果你在一家低档次的餐馆就餐，就没有必要给小费。如果你住在曼谷的某家五星级饭店，就请准备付给搬运工20到50铢，具体的数目得依你的行李多少而定。如今曼谷的出租车都打表计程，当地的惯例是把车费凑整到最近的五铢的倍数。

4.香港 在这个金钱至上的大都市里，给小费是司空见惯的。大多餐馆自动在帐单里加了10％的服务费，但这笔额外的收入最后却常常落到雇主手里。如果服务质量好的话，在帐单里再加上10％，而在一个极好的饭馆里，小费可以多达100港币。对于旅馆的搬运工

来说，港币10元的小费已足够，不过在最好的一些饭店，20港币可能更受欢迎。坐出租车的话，凑够最近的整数给钱。

5．雅加达 给小费原本不是当地文化的一部分，但是国际性的影响使得一些西化的人们盼望多得一些钱。大多数高级饭店里已附加10％的服务费。在价格中等的饭店，给5,000卢比的小费就已足够——如果服务极好，也可以再多给大约l,000卢比。在旅馆，要让搬运工搬一件行李就得给几百卢比。大多数出租车司机会自动把收费加到最近的500卢比的整数。

6．吉隆坡 像在印度尼西亚—样，在马来西亚给小费也仅限于那些价格较高的西式场所。在那里，一般在就餐或旅馆房间的费用之外附加10％的服务费。如果你在饭店的餐厅就餐，也得准备给10％的服务费。但在当地的饭馆里，却没有必要附加小费。在五星级饭店，给搬运工一两个林吉特就足够了。在低档次的饭店，不一定非给小费不可。像曼谷一样，许多出租车都计程，所以只要凑足最近的整数就行。

7．马尼拉 在马尼拉给小费是很平常的事。只要付10％以上的服务费就能换宋忠心耿耿的服务。在餐馆里，即使就餐费用里已经包括服务费，按一般惯例，还得在帐单里再加上5％到10％。旅馆的搬运工每搬一件行李要给20个比索。大多数的出租车是打表计程的，把车费凑整到最近的五比索准保没错。

8．汉城 给小费不是韩国文化的一部分，尽管在国际饭店里收取10％的服务费似乎是理所当然的一件事。如果你去一个吃韩国烧烤的地方，那么没有必要付额外的费用。但是在一个雅致的意大利餐馆就餐，可能就要多付10％的小费。如果你下榻的是最高级饭店，就要按国际规范行事。所以搬一件行李的小费大概是500到1,000韩元。不用给出租车司机小费，找的零钱你自己留着好了。

9．新加坡 根据狮城政府的规定，给小费是不允许的。在樟宜国际机场，这种行为基本上是违法的。官员们鼓励游客拒绝支付一些高级饭店附加在帐单上的 10％的服务费。在饭馆就餐时，新加坡人一般都不留小费。一些好的饭馆有时也以征税的形式收取10％的服务费。饭店员工是不收小费原则的唯一例外。一般的准则是，如有人帮你搬运行李，给一新元就够了。出租车司机是不指望拿小费的，但你要给他们，他们也不会拒绝。

10．台北 就像日本和中国大陆一样，台湾不是一个给小费的社会——尽管大量货币是以硬币的形式出现。饭馆里不用给小费。不过，随着一些美式餐馆引进西方做法，这一原则也在改变。饭店的员工如果没有得到你的小费的话，也不会觉得大受冒犯。坐出租车也不需要给小费。

1、噩梦很多游客是______。 一）不知道该给多少小费 b）无法支付搬运工
