    Now, Thailand is popular among more and more tourists from the world, including Chinese. In Thailand we should do the things as Thais (泰国人） do. When we can't do all the things as Thais, we should at least learn and respect(尊重) their customs (风俗). Here's something about their customs.

    Personal appearance (外表) is very important in Thailand as a sign of respect for other people. Your clothes should be tidy, clean and free from holes. Shorts and sleeveless (无袖的) shirts are not welcomed in churches (教堂.) Remember that you will need to take off your shoes when entering rooms, so don't wear shoes that are slow to get on and off. The rules are even stricter(严格) with foreign visitors, so even if you see a local in shorts, it's not OK for everyone.

    It's not polite to touch a Thai on the head, including children. At the same time, don't touch people with your feet, or even point with them because they think feet are dirty and low.

    If someone is sitting with outstretched (伸出的) feet, don't step over them, because this is very rude. It could even make people angry. Even if the person is sleeping, it is best to go around until he or she notices and lets you go out.

    The story of how the song Happy Birthday to You came to be, began as a sweet one that later sourced. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at the Louisville, Kentucky Experimental Kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the headmaster of the same school, together wrote a song for the children, called Good Morning to All. As the local expert on spiritual songs, and as the organist（风琴师） for her church, Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister's knowledge in the area of Kindergarten Education, Good Morning to All was sure to be a success.

    The sisters published the song in a collection named "Song Stories of the Kindergarten" in 1893.Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University's Teacher College, a gentleman by the name of Robert H. Coleman published the song, without the sisters'permission. What was worse, he added a second verse（歌词） Happy Birthday to You.

    Mr. Coleman's addition of the second verse made the song become well known and, gradually, the sisters' original first verse disappeared. Happy Birthday to You, the one and only birthday song, had altogether replaced the sisters' original title Good Morning to All.

    After Mildred died in 1916, Patty, together with a third sister, Jessica, discussed the issue together and took Mr. Coleman to court（法庭）, they proved that they, indeed, owned the melody（曲调）. The court finally decided that the family legally（合法地） owns the song, whenever it is sung for commercial purposes（商业目的）.

    If someone says to you: "give me five", do not search your pocket to get five yuan! It will make others laugh! The person's not asking for your money, but your fingers.

    In the US, "give me five" or "give me the high five" is a popular gesture (动作). You can see it often in films or on TV It means the clapping (拍) of each other's raised right hands together.

    People do it when they meet for the first time or something happy happens. For example, a student has good marks in exams or wins a lottery ticket (彩票). If a football team wins a game, the players will give high fives to everyone around to celebrate.

    This gesture may come from the old Roman gesture of raising the right arm for the emperor to show respect. This also showed that the person raising his am did not have a sword (刀) in his hand.

    Why not try to give the high five to your friends?
