    Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal. They include how to handle knives, forks and spoons and how to eat in polite manners. To behave well abroad, you are to know some table manners.

    Eating manners

    Japan: It is "perfectly" okay to slurp when you eat noodles. Unlike making big noises, slurping slightly is not rude. Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp.

    Russia: Your wrists should be placed on the edge of the table while eating, a fork in the left hand, and a knife in the right hand. It is not good manners to rest them on your lap. Keep your elbows of the table. Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat.

    France: Never discuss money or religion over dinner. What is different from the manners in Russia is that finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners.

    Mexico: Whenever you catch the eye of someone who's eating, even a stranger, its good manners to say "provecho" which means enjoy. In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. It's a social occasion-lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours. Where you sit matters in the country. Before you get seated, look for place cards, or wait until the host seats you. And you must say"enjoy your meal"before you leave the table.

    Drinking manners

    America: If you empty a bottle into someone's glass, it obliges that person to buy the next bottle. It's polite to put the last drops into your own glass.

    Australia: In a pub it's usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it's your turn, say "It's my round. "When it's their round, they will buy it for you. Don't leave before you' ve bought a round.

    Japan: Don't fill your own glass of alcohol. Instead, you should pour for others and wait for them to do it for you.

What is the most stressful thing in school? It is probably exams. Exams can put us under a lot of pressure. But some students do well under pressure while others feel terrible. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

It all comes down to dopamine (多巴胺). {#blank#}2{#/blank#} It has many important roles: influencing memory, attention. and how we learn. Our brains work best when there is an even balance of dopamine—not too much or too little. The brain controls dopamine in two ways. It either takes out dopamine quickly, or gradually. Exam success can be related to how fast dopamine goes back to an even balance.

 {#blank#}3{#/blank#} if you become stressed, your brain will start to have too much dopamine. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} The quicker you are able to go back to an even balance of dopamine, the quicker you can fix yourself perform better on a test. 

Scientists found that, during a test, people who slowly got back to an even balance of dopamine scored 8 percent lower. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} The answer is yes. So don't fear, there is some good news. The study also found that the more practice you get, the less stressed you'll be. So, it turns out that practice really does make perfect.

A.What happens when we sit for an exam?

B.It is like a cup flowing over with water.

C.So, why do some students perform better under stress?

D.That's the difference between a good mark and a bad mark.

E.Dopamine is a chemical in our brain that sends information to our body.

F.Is there anything that can help change the speed of dopamine getting into our body?

 What do you think is the most important invention in the last 1 ,000 years? Many people say that it's the printing press that allows us to print copies or books. Why is the printing press so important in human history?

 Before the printing press was invented, books were copied by hand. An ancient Roman book trader sometimes sold as many as 5,000 copies of a book that had been copied by slaves(奴隶). However, copying a book took so much time and was so expensive. As a result, usually only a small part of the people learned to read and owned books.

 In 1450, Johannes Gutenberg from Germany invented the modern printing press. The influence of his machine is sometimes compared to the invention of the Internet. Gutenberg's printing press was easy to use with languages such as English that had alphabetic(字母的) words. After 1450, thousands of copies of a book or a newspaper could be made quickly and cheaply. A great number of books and newspapers with ideas and pictures from all over the world came out.

 Reading has stimulated amazing changes in science and technology. We' ve learned how to  make money and even travel to far places. Computers, mobile phones, and the Internet have grown because millions of readers were created by the printing press.

 Since 1450, more and more people have become readers. These readers help the world to make progress at a fast speed.
