Different countries and different people have different manners . We must find out their customs , so that they will not think us ill-manners . Here are examples of the things that a well-

educated person does or does not do .

If you visit a Chinese family you should knock at the door first . When the door opens , you will not move before the host says “Come in, please .” After you enter the room , you should not

sit down until the host asks you to take a seat . When a cup of tea is put on a tea table before you

or sent to your hand , you will say , “Thank you .” And receive it with two hands , not one hand ,

or they will think you are ill-mannered . Before entering a house in Japan , it is good manners to

take off your shoes . In European countries , even though shoes sometimes become very dirty ,

this is not done . In a Malay house , a guest never finishes the food on the table . He leaves a

little to show that he has had enough . In England , a guest always finishes a drink or the food to

show that he had enjoyed it . This will make the host , especially the hostess pleasant .

In towns ,there were few bus shelters until about thirty years ago .Since then they have appeared everywhere ,probably because most people no longer wear the kinds of clothes that

protect them from the wind ,cold and rain .Country bus shelters have been with us for a good deal

longer .Before the Second world War, many of them were paid for by rich local people ,often in

memory of a member of their family .Some were well built and very attractive ,to fit in with the

surroundings.

By the 1870s public lavatories（厕所）were being installed （设置）all over Britain. Many of them , for gentlemen only ,were made of iron ,highly decorated and often in the shape of Indian

or Greek temples .A little later ,in the 1880s ,more solid structures of brick or stone were being

built ,with rooms for ladies and gentlemen. Some of these looked like cottages or medieval（中世

纪）castles.

Public drinking fountains are to be found everywhere . Most of them were built in the nineteenth century and some are very grand .The old type of drinking fountain was not very

hygienic（卫生的）.It usually had an iron drinking cup ,fixed to a chain ,and everyone used

it .Firstly ,they provided people with pure water to drink ,at a time when much of the drinking

water available ,especially from wells and pumps ,was dangerous to health .Secondly ,they were

memorials to local residents .Finally ,they were intended to persuade people to drink

water ,instead of beer or spirits.

Most Americans have a city they like best. Over the years, American songwriters have described these feelings in music. More songs have been written about America's biggest city,

New York, than about any other city. Many others dream about leaving their small towns to go

there. They want to become rich and famous. Frank Sinatra sings about this dream in the most

popular song written about New York.

Almost three-million people live in the middle western city of Chicago, Illinois. It is now

America's third largest city. It used to be the second largest city. So, of course, it needed its own

song. Judy Garland sings the song, "Chicago, Chicago. "

One of America's most exciting cities is Las Vegas, Nevada. In nineteen-sixty-four, Elvis Presley starred in a movie called "Viva Las Vegas." Here is the song from that movie. It is sung

by the group Z-Z Top.

As we all know, one of the most beautiful cities in America is San Francisco, California. The most

popular song about the city is called "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." Tony Bennett recorded it

in nineteen-sixty-two. It sold more than three-million records.

Many people love Los Angeles, California. It is now America's second largest city. Los Angeles is popular because the weather is warm and the sun shines almost all the time. Randy Newman sings about his feelings for the city in the song, "I Love L.A." Not everyone, however, loves Los Angeles. Some people do not like all the big roads around the city. They like living in a smaller place. A place like San Jose, California. Dionne Warwick sings about going back to this city. The song is, "Do You Know The Way To San Jose."

“Trick or treat, trick or treat! Give me something good to eat!” It is Halloween! Kids dressed in costumes, neighbors giving out candy! It is just an amazing holiday! This year I decided to be a

black cat.

The black cat is a sign of bad luck, but is also a sign of Halloween. Halloween began in the Mediaeval-years. A festival was celebrated in Rome and people walked in parades with masks and

costumes. The people carved faces into pumpkins and lit them with a candle inside. These were

thought of as to ward off all the evil and bad spirits. That is why people sell pumpkins everywhere

during the Halloween season. Soon after the name of this festival evolved into what we call

present day-Halloween!

Every year in New York City, there is a huge parade, there are floats and people walk around PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建

in costumes. Some are animal featured, some are scary and spooky like the skeleton and some are funny like the clown. It is very fun!!!

Some people have Halloween parties. Stores sell a variety of costumes; the most popular costumes are the witch, the ghost, many from the old movies. Many stores sell decorating accessories(附属品) like fake spider webs, real pumpkins and plastic ghosts. So, if you are a Halloween lover, you can turn your home into a haunted house! That is absolutely cool!

New Year traditions all around the world

“Happy New Year!” Everyone will greet each other with these words as they meet each other over the next couple of weeks. But it wasn’t always January 1 that marked the New Year.

At least 4,000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians marked the changing of the year. In Egypt, the year started when the Nile River flooded, enriching farmers’fields. This

happened at the end of September.

The Babylonians held a festival in the spring, on March 23, to kick off the next farming cycle.

The Babylonian celebration lasted for 11 days.

The date January 1 was picked by the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar as the change of the year when he established his own calendar in 46 BC. The month of January originates from the

Roman god, Janus. He is pictured with two heads. One head looks forward and the other back.

They represent a break between the old and new. The new calendar was in time with the sun and it

has been used until the present day.

In Vietnam, the New Year holiday happens in February. They buy fresh flowers and a peach blossom to put in their house, following the Vietnamese custom.

Thailand has its specific New Year’s date; it’s different from the normal calendar. The Thai New Year is celebrated on April 13. On this day, Thai people play with water, throwing it on each

other. It is intended to bring good luck during the New Year ahead.

In China, the more favorable New Year is usually celebrated in February according to lunar calendar (阴历). On New Year’s Eve, all family members sit together at table, enjoying lots of

auspicious foods such as dumplings, chicken to bring good luck.

Many animal and plant species have become extinct (灭绝的) and many more are in critical danger.

Dodo

The Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth biology. The flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The easily controlled

bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by

human such as pigs, monkeys and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last

one was killed in 1681.

Rhinos

The Rhino (犀牛) horn is a highly priced item for Asian medicine. This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat. Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most Rhinos now live

in protected natural parks and reserves (保护区). Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last

50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers (偷猎者).

The Giant Panda

The future of the Giant Panda is far from certain. As far as 1000 remain in the wild. The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals. However, the

panda’s black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined

poachers still pose (造成) one of the most serious threats to the animal’s continued existence.

Whales

Despite the fact that one-third the world’s oceans have been declared whale sanctuaries (保护区), 7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered. Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their

numbers have decreased to just 300. Collisions (碰撞) with ships, poisonous pollution and being

caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.

Tigers

The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建

5000 and 7000 and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tiger’s bones and organs are sought after for traditional medicines. These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.

Each year there is an increasing number of cars as millions of new cars are produced in America. Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem

of air pollution by cars. It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution.

One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That’s what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field

has been slow.

Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that can

please man.

To prevent the world being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to travel

and go to work by bike. But this change does not close down—many workers may find

themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of their pollution would

become less important than that of unemployment.

Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem.

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-courses activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap.

Parents can see that their children ’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today ’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.

The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.

Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking , sewing and doing other housework.

Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence.

Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.

Two influential thinkers of the twentieth century have died. John Kenneth Galbraith, the economist, died on April twenty-ninth at the age of 97. Jane Jacobs, a defender of cities, died

April twenty-fifth at the age of 89.

Jane Jacobs believed cities should be densely populated and full of different people and activity. She believed in the value of natural growth. She opposed the kind of city planning that

involves big development and renewal projects that tear down old communities.

She is best known for her book "The Death and Life of Great American Cities," published in

nineteen sixty-one. Another book was "The Nature of Economies." Yet she never finished college.

Jane Jacobs was an activist in New York City. Her work defeated a road plan to build a big

highway through the Greenwich Village area.

She was also against the war in Vietnam. She had sons almost old enough to be called for duty. In nineteen sixty-eight the family moved to Canada. But she remained a community

activist. Soon she was fighting a road plan in Toronto.

Jane Jacobs was born in the United States but lived and died in Canada. John Kenneth Galbraith was born in Canada but lived and died in the United States.

Among his best-known books is "The Affluent Society," from nineteen fifty-eight. He wrote that American society had too many goods but not enough social services that show people care about each other. He warned about widening divisions between the very rich and the very poor. John Kenneth Galbraith believed in the power of government to improve lives. He believed in a system of progressive taxes, and in public support for the arts and government involvement in education. He also supported the idea of public ownership of housing and medical services.

Experts say John Kenneth Galbraith and Jane Jacobs led many to question not only how and where they want to live and work. It also led them to wonder what kind of society they wanted to leave for their children.
