A greeting is a way of saying "Hello"to someone.In western countries like the UK and the USA,people often shake hands when they meet for the first time,especially in a formal situation. But there are other ways of greeting people.For instance,male friends sometimes have special handshakes to show that they are close to each other.

In France and Italy,people love to kiss.They often kiss their friends and family on both cheeks when they meet and when they say goodbye.

In India,when people  say hello,they press  their palms(手掌)together under their chin.To show respect,a slight bow is added.Today people who study yoga often put their palms together  at the beginning or end of a yoga lesson.

And what do you think of people rubbing(蹭)noses together?This special greeting is common among the Maori who live in New Zealand in the southern hemisphere,and also among the Inuits

who live in the far north.

In Japan,for instance,men and  women  bow  when  they  greet  someone.The  women  hold their hands together and the men put their hands by their sides.

If you visit a foreign country,it's important to find out the correct form of greeting.That way you won't make mistakes there.

    As we know, there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Let's look at some words about animals and plants.

Ear Cleaning Lesson

So you' re watching TV now. Suddenly, your ea r starts to feel a little bit uncomfortable. After you dig your little finger around in your ear for a while, you dig out a little brown ball. That's earwax.

Earwax is produced in your inner ear canal(管, 道). The dead skin cells(皮  肤 细 胞 ) and oils in the canal mix together to form these little brown balls. They help keep the skin in our ears healthy and slightly wet, protecting the ear canal.

However, the helpful earwax can sometimes make our ears uncomfortable. At that point, should we try to get it out? 

Never use cotton swabs! Millions of people use cotton swabs to clean their ears. Well, in fact, while you may be able to get a little bit of the earwax out, you're probably just pushing more of it back in. And the inner end of ear canal can be filled with earwax. Even worse, the car drum may also be hurt because of cotton swabs. 

In daily lives, if you really want to, you can clean your outer cars with a little soap, water and a washcloth. And most of the time, there's no need to clean ear canals. The ear canal can naturally push out extra (额外) earwax. When you run, bathe or do other things, the extra earwax will fall out. So the best way to get the extra earwax out of our ears is— just to leave it alone.
