The Monkey King

    The Monkey King was born from a stone. He wanted to live forever. He was really intelligent and knew what to do. ⑶他能够把他自己变成72种不同的东西, like a tree, a bird or an insect(昆虫). While he was changing himself, people just watched and couldn't believe it. He used the clouds in the sky   ⑷   around! One time he flew 108,000 miles on a cloud.

    The trouble was, the monkey thought he was the king. But he wasn't. The Emperor was. So, the real king decided to give the monkey a title(官职)to keep him quiet. ⑸But the monkey found out that everyone was laughing at him. He was extremely unhappy and decided to fight.  At last, the Emperor asked Buddha(佛) for help.

    The Buddha moved a great mountain to fall on top of him. As the mountain was falling on him, he nearly managed(设法) to get out of the way. He didn't, but he didn't die, either. The trouble was he couldn't move. Five hundred years later ,a monk(和尚) helped the monkey get out from under the mountain. That's when the real story began. You must remember it, don't you? It's a treat story.

To make more students know about Chinese culture, our school English club took part in Huazhao Festival in Qingxi Park on April 14th, 2024.

American children like to celebrate their birthdays. They usually celebrate them with a party. They ask their friends to their parties. They don't have parties on the right dates(准确的日期)of their birthdays if they come on a school day. They may hold(举办) them at the weekend. 

Today many children like two kinds of parties in America. One is at home. Parents decorate the house with balloons(气球)and coloured paper. They make a special birthday dinner. The children play games. The other is away from home. Some are at a special restaurant. The children eat pizza and ice cream. The waiters also sing and say happy birthday to the children. Some are at a park, or at a cinema, or in some other places. 

There is a cake with candles(蜡烛) at every birthday party. When the candles are lighted(点燃), everyone sings the special birthday song Happy Birthday. 

Many people don't have birthday parties when they are not young. They say they would like to forget how old they are. But they do like to keep the happy birthday parties of their childhood in mind(记忆). 

Good and bad manners（礼仪） make up the social rules of a country.They are not always easy to learn because they are often not written in books.Let's see some social rules in Britain.

In the past，most British women didn't go to pubs（酒吧） because it was not considered good behavior for a woman.Now both women and men can drink freely in pubs.

Visitors to Britain often see British people wait in line in public places.It is considered impolite to get on a bus without waiting your turn in line.And if you don't wait your turn，the other people in line will probably warn you to line up loudly.

In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street.However，in Britain it is common to see people having a snack while walking down the road.

British people used to be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children were not usually taken out to restaurants at night.These days children are playing a more active role and they are now accepted in many restaurants at night.

In recent years，many British companies have banned smoking in their offices and even in the whole buildings.Smoking is also banned on the London Underground，in cinemas and theaters and on most buses.It can be seen less and less in public places.It is also considered bad manners to smoke in someone's house without asking the owner.

Social rules are an important part of every country.The British have an expression for these"unwritten rules"：When in Rome，do as the Romans do.

If you ask people of different countries" Could you tell me the way to the post office?", you will get 1 answers. 

 In Japan, people 2 landmarks(路标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to 3 , " Go straight down to the corner, 4 left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop. "

 In Kansas, America, there are no 5 or buildings within(在…之内) miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you 6 and distance(距离). 7 , people will say, " Go north two miles(英里). Turn 8 , and then go another mile. "

 People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because few visitors 9 the Greek language. They will often say, "10 me. " Then he or she will take you through the streets of the city to the post office. Sometimes 11 a person doesn't know the answer to your question he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, " Sorry, I have no 12 . " But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one13 "I don't know. " People there think"I don't know" is not 14 . They usually give an answer but often a 15 one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!
