People from different cultures sometimes do things that make each other uncomfortable, without meaning to or sometimes without even realizing it.// Most Americans are usually spontaneous, friendly and open, and enjoy meeting new people, having guests and dringing people together formally or informally.//They tend to be informal and speak freely.

Misleading advertising is a disease with our modern society. A cigarette provides a symbol of independence. A pair of designer jeans or sneakers conveys status.//
Advertising affects all of us throughout our lives. Young people, especially young girls, are particularly vulnerable, because they are new and inexperienced consumers.//
Advertisers are fully aware of their role and do not hesitate to take advantage of the insecurities and anxieties of adolescents, in the guise of offering solutions to their problems.//
Advertising tries to convince us that products can fulfill us and meet our deepest human needs and that the value of a person depends upon the products used. No politician or educator is more persuasive than advertising.

Why should Beijing and Washington come together? Why is this the only choice for them? // Fundamentally speaking, it is the national interests of both nations that plays the decisive role and have the final say in this regard. // In international relations, the so-called law of interests acts as the basic and most important principle. It is the national interests of each nation that drives the two countries to make efforts to live in harmony and carry out varieties of exchanges and cooperation. // In short, we need each other.

例如，我国的端午节是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。

那一天，人们通常要赛龙舟、吃棕子。

中秋节是观赏满月的日子。

圆圆的月亮象征着圆满，象征着家庭团聚。

因此，中秋节的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。
