America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily, but truly can't manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes,
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for pure business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

Anyone who has ever tried to stop smoking knows how difficult it is to quit. There is no lack of information about how unhealthy smoking is for you- not to mention the unpleasant smell. So why would teens ever begin to smoke?
{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Research shows that the majority of smokers lit up their first cigarette in their early or mid-teens, precisely at a time when children are beginning to establish their own identity apart from their parents. Smoking can be an act of rebellion(反抗) against parents or authority figures, as well as a way to fit in with others and feel accepted.
Here are some things that parents can do to help a child stay smoke-free.
Start talking to your teen about how bad smoking is for him early, well before his teens. Keep talking, too. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} For example, smoking makes your hair and clothing smell bad, stains the teeth, and reduces your lung power to play sports.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Talk about the addictive power of smoking and tell him while those few cigarettes are his choice, the addiction that occurs shortly afterwards makes him powerless to decide whether or not he wants to light up.
Work on self-esteem(自尊) and self-confident with your teen. Much of the attraction of smoking is to gain acceptance. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
A.Young teens live in the moment, too. B.Play on your child's desire to make his own choices. C.The answer lies in the develop-mental stage of your teens. D.Give your child the facts, but focus on the things he can relate to. E.Help your teen to feel good about himself without having to smoke. F.One discussion will not be enough to help your child not to smoke. G.They won't be aware of how powerful addictive smoking is in a very short time. |
Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer (温度计) for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don't feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.
Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale. Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.
The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts. That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.
First, take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with colored water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw through the nail hole.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}.
Finally, place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.
A. Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work. B. People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world. C. We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives. D. The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher. E. Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled. F. Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal them together. G. They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degree and boils at 100 degrees. |
