    Many people go to different countries and live in different places in their lifetime. In different countries, they may meet with different manners. Sometimes they are puzzled by the different manners, and perhaps they may make a joke about those manners. So when we go to a strange country, we should pay attention to something new or dissimilar. For example, most Westerners are not concerned about protocol(礼仪) in social matters. But there are a few table manners the Easterners should try to observe(遵守)at all times.

    To start with, put the napkin on your lap. It protects your clothes from food or is used to wipe your hands or mouth when necessary.

    Hold the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left hand, and cut the meat or fish into pieces as you eat. Always use your fork to put food into your mouth. Use your spoon only for soup or other liquids.

    Do not put your own utensils (fork, knife, spoon) into the serving bowl. Use the utensil in the bowl to put some of the food on your own plate. And then return the serving utensil to the bowl.

    Do not spit food anywhere. If you have hones in your mouth, take them out with your fingers and place them on the edge of your plate, never on the table or floor.

    Do not reach across the table or in front of another person. Ask someone to pass whatever you want.

    Do not sneeze, cough or blow your nose anywhere except into a handkerchief or Kleenex (纸巾). Then you throw it into a waste paper basket or garbage can. If you cough, try to cover your mouth with your hand.

In the West, some people believe that personality can be predicted according to the time of the year the person was bor. From China comes the belief that the year of birth influences one's personality. In the past century, a new belief ahs arisen: the idea that personality is related to one's ABO blood type. People with blood type A, for example, are considered more likely to be serious, hard-working, and quiet, while people with blood type O are likely to be popular and outgoing, yet often unable to finish what they start. Though this belief continues to be strong, some people question whether it is true.
The blood-type personality theory(理论) started in Japan in 1927 when Furukawa Takehi noticed personality similarities and differences among his workers. This idea soon went out of fashion, but was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshitaka Nomi in the 1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is increasingly popular in neighboring countries. Some young Koreans have taken to the theory. A recent study showed 76 percent of Koreans aged between13 and 64 believing in the blood-type personality connection. Though most Asians might believe in the blood-type theory, for many it seems harmless and not something to be taken too seriously.
Is the belief true? The scientists in Asia largely think the belief as a modern-day superstition(迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood and personality. Generally, scientists are against making predictions or important decisions based on this questionable theory.

    The 2017 Fortune Global Forum (财富全球论坛) was held in Guangzhou from December 6 to 8, 2017 for the first time with the theme of "Openness and Innovation: Shaping the Global Economy". This is the fifth Fortune Global Forum held in China. Since its beginning in 1995, the Fortune Global Forum has been providing chances for CEOs of the world's most important companies and world leaders to get together and discuss matters about international business.

    There are several reasons why Guangzhou was chosen as the host city for the 2017 Fortune Global Forum. First, Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong Province which is historically an active centre for free trade. Guangdong Province is also the most populous (人口稠密的) province in China with a population of 110 million, bigger than that of any other province in China. What's more, more than half of the Fortune Global 500 companies have already set up branch offices (分公司) in Guangzhou.

    Hosting the 2017 Fortune Global Forum also brings benefits to Guangzhou. First, it will help change the city into a high-level technology centre in the future. Moreover, it will attract more companies to invest and develop in Guangzhou and Guangzhou can take the chance to encourage local companies to go global and deepen cooperation with companies from all over the world.

    Great effort was made in order to make the event a success. For example, a total of 1,200 volunteers were chosen mostly from universities to serve the 2017 Fortune Global Forum. Training courses were also carried out to prepare volunteers for their jobs. They even had a volunteer's song. The lyrics and music of the song was written by the famous lyricist Zhong Shan and composer Wang Xiaosong. The official version of the song was sung by famous singers Wang Chenrui and Wang Sulong.
