An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this,“I'm afraid it'll have to be someplace cheap, because I have little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I'll meet you at McDonald's.”

This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh，no，I want to take you to lunch at Smith's,”or“I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They are great.”This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards the person, you can go with him and you needn't pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you. That would he very nice.”

American custom(习惯) about who pays for dates (约会) are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in business world will usually pay their way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my guest.”So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning.

    Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
    Communication(交流) is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟).
    Don't argue (争辩) with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go to someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
    Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
    Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
    A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

Jeans have become one piece of clothing worn by the most people in the world. Everybody wears them, from the farmer to the lawyer and from models to housewives. But why have jeans become so popular？You'll get many answers. For some people they look cool, for others jeans are just comfortable.
      Jeans were first stronger trousers made for farm workers in the states of the American west. In the eastern part of the US jeans were hardly worn at all. They were connected with farm people and the workers. So the rich wouldn't like to wear them.
    It was James Dean and Marlon Brando that made them popular in movies and everyone started to wear them. They were a symbol of the rebellion of young people during the 1950s and 1960s. So these new trousers were not allowed in American schools and sometimes in theatres and cinemas. As time went on，jeans became more acceptable. American people in Europe and Japan often wore them when they were not on duty to show that they were Americans. The trousers showed the world a happier way of life, something that people needed, especially after what they had gone through in World War II.
     Jeans had other advantages as well. They didn't need to be washed as often as other trousers and women didn't need to iron them. This became more important as more and more women started working and had less time for housework.
    Today jeans are an important part of our lives. They are always washed a few times before they are sold to give them a faded look.

    Although most of Pakistanis live in the countryside, still many Pakistanis live in cities. Karachi has over 5 million people and Lahore has over 3 million people. Islamabad was built to be Pakistan's capital. The rich city people live in large, air conditioned houses.
    Pakistan has 121,000 miles of roads. Bus services and minibuses are available to the public. The trains are still the most common transport of long-distance travel for Pakistanis. Pakistan also has an airline that operates domestic and international flights.
    It is difficult to identify(识别) Pakistani food because the country shares food traditions with its neighbour, India. The main difference between Pakistani and Indian food is that Pakistani food is less spicy (辛辣). Pakistani dishes are often made with yoghurt(酸奶), which reduces the effect of the hot spices used in cooking.
    Wheat is the main food for most of the people. It is eaten in the form of bread named chapattis or roti, together with vegetables in season. Sweet tea, milk, or lassi, a drink made from yoghurt, makes the meal perfect. Those who can afford to buy it eat meat, although in the countryside these are usually festival foods. Goat meat is a favourite. Pakistanis will not eat pork by the way.

    Some people choose to be vegetarian, but others are vegetarian because of their religion（宗教）, their culture, or the place they live. There are vegetarians all over the world, but the country with the most vegetarians is India.
    About one billion people live in India, and most follow the Hindu religion. Hindus think it is wrong to kill animals or make them suffer. They think if they do so, they will suffer the same way one day. Hindus believe cows are sacred, and they are respected by people. Therefore, most Hindus do not eat beef.
    There are different kinds of vegetarians in the world . Some vegetarians do not eat beef or red meat, but they eat chicken and fish. Some do not eat red meat, chicken, or fish but they eat cheese, butter, eggs, milk, and other animal products. Other vegetarians do not use anything that comes from an animal. Some don t wear wool because it harms the sheep, don t use silk because it hurts silkworms, and don t eat honey because they do not want to hurt bees. Other vegetarians only eat vegetables; however they do not kill plants. For example, they will not eat carrots or potatoes because when you pick them, the plants die. They will eat apples or pears because picking them does not harm the plant. Some vegetarians do not kill or hurt any animal-not even a fly or a mosquito!
    In India, too, there are different kinds of vegetarians. Some Hindus are strict vegetarians. Other Hindus eat all meat except beef, but they only eat it about once a week. Many families eat chicken or lamb a few times a year on special occasions, like wedding. The Hindus from the upper classes do not eat meat or drink alcohol. However, the lower classes eat all meat except beef. The upper classes, or Brahmans（婆罗门）, cannot kill anything that is moving. If they do, they believe they will become that animal in their next lives and will be killed, too.
    Hindus follow other rules when they eat. They rinse their mouths, arms, and legs before and after eating to clean themselves. It is a custom for the man of the house to eat thirty two mouthfuls at each meal, chewing carefully and thinking about pleasant things. Strict Hindus do not eat garlic or onions. They believe that foods have characteristics. Some foods are “hot", others are “cold” They think the strong smells of these foods are too powerful for the mild tastes and smells of other vegetables. Also, in middle class families, many women do not eat meat, but men do. Women think eating meat is something manly. They also connect meat with violence.
    Vegetarians are everywhere in both rich and poor countries. In parts of the world such as Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, meat is uncommon, and therefore it is an easy choice to be vegetarian. Surveys show that in both the United States and Britain about 4 percent of the population is vegetarian. And more and more people are choosing vegetarianism every day. Many people become vegetarian for health reasons. They look and feel better when they stop eating meat. Some famous vegetarians include Leonardo da Vince, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison.

Everyone in the world knows the Chinese tiger, the Indian elephant and the African lion. In America, everyone knows the Thanksgiving turkey. It's on the last Thursday in November. It's important to Americans the same as the Spring Festival is for us. The Thanksgiving turkey is a wild bird much larger than the chicken. When the American Indians helped the first Europeans find food for the first Thanksgiving meal, they brought turkeys because they were very usual. The farmers sell the turkeys to a processing plant(加工厂)that packages the bird to be sold at the supermarket. Mothers and grandmothers cook the turkey all morning for the Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey may be as large as 20 pounds or 10 kilos. One turkey can feed a very large family and still have some left over. When the turkey is cooked, the juice from the meat falls on bread to make it very delicious. There is always a fruit at the meal called cranberry. It grows in Alaska and has a bitter(有苦味的)taste so it's cooked with sugar. Vegetables include cooked corn, beans and sweet potatoes. There is a special kind of bread that is served called dinner rools(晚餐包). They're the size and shape of a small orange. The dinner ends with either apple pie or pumpkin pie.

Whether Americans travel throughout the world, this is the dinner they like to eat on Thanksgiving Day.
