American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind of them. People of many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.

You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.

Jeff Green can not look after(照看) his things. Look, this is his room. He doesn't put his things away（收好） every day. Look at his desk. Many things are on it. They are notebooks, CDs, video tapes, pens, pencils. He doesn't put his pens and pencils in his pencil case. Look, some of his sports collections are on the desk and chairs.
It's eight o'clock in the morning, and Jeff is in bed. It's Sunday. He doesn't go to school. Oh, what's under the bed? A football. He likes playing football. He can not play volleyball well. His backpack is under the bed. Why is his backpack under the bed? We don't know. What's that under the sofa? It is one of his socks. Where is the other（另外的） one? Sorry, we can not see it. Jeff needs to ask his parents to find it, I think.

As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let's look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching mouse”, have negative meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive actions. For example, “You are a lucky dog.” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day.” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person's serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired” means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel.
The rose is regarded as symbol of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose means love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.
The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.

A 12-year-old girl from Virginia, US, never thought that a simple message she put online could bring her big problems. She posted the words, "Killing. Meet me in the library Tuesday", with three emojis(表情符号)of a gun, a knife and a bomb(炸弹) on Instagram, a social media (社交媒体). She was told that she broke the law because of threatening (威胁) her school.

This problem is not far away from us. Ni Hanxiang, a Chinese student at a university in the US, was sent back to China after expressing on social media that he would kill his teachers if he failed to pass his exams.

In China, posting threatening words online is also against the law. In 2013, Wu Hongfei, a singer, got into trouble for saying on weibo that she wanted to blow up a building.

"Threatening happens not only face to face but also through the Internet, social media and the telephone," said Mr Cao, a lawyer from Chongqing. "Although the law of China protects people's right of free speech, it doesn't include words that threaten others' lives and national safety."

"Some people may not mean to threaten. They may just be trying to say 'I' m strong'", said Fred Pratt, a lawyer from the US.

The girl's mother said her daughter was a good kid who had never been in trouble before. Ni Hangxiang also said he didn't realize that what he put online was so serious.

"But not knowing the law doesn't mean the law will treat you any differently if you break it," says David Allen Green, a lawyer from the UK. So, do you think we'd better spend a minute or two thinking about the words or emojis we use on social media before we press "send"?

Who's the most popular cartoon character (卡通角色) in China now? It may be Peppa Pig. This little girl pig is the main character on the British TV show Peppa Pig.

The show is on TV in 40 languages in more than l 80 countries. It's about the everyday lives of the Peppa Pig family members. The show is mainly for young kids. But many older children and even adults(成年人)love the show, too.

Peppa isn't perfect(完美的). But she is very real, and the other characters on the show are real, too. And that makes the show quite special. For example(例如), on the show, Peppa is not happy because she doesn't know how to whistle(吹口哨). She phones her friend, Susie Sheep, to ask her if she can whistle. Susie says she can. Peppa feels bad! She hangs up (挂电话) on her friend.

The show's stories are easy, but its humor(幽默)is not too childish. Peppa makes both children and adults laugh. "It's so popular because it is ageless." Richard Ridings said. He's a voice （声音） actor who plays Peppa's dad.
