If you spend some time in an English-speaking country you might hear the term “etiquette”. It means normal and polite social behavior. This may seem like a difficult word at first, but it can be very useful to understand.
Etiquette is not the same in every culture or in every situation. For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However, if you do this in Europe，some people might feel uncomfortable. Even in China，we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine, but there are other places where talking loudly is not allowed. For example, most people would agree that talking loudly in a library, a museum or a movie theater is impolite. Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice down in public places.
If we see someone breaking the rules of etiquette, we may politely give them some suggestions. One of the most polite ways is to ask someone, Would you mind doing this or Would you mind not doing that. For example,if someone cuts in fornt of you in a line ,you could ask them, Sorry, Would you mind joining the line ? if someone is smoking on the bus,you could ask,Excuse me,could you please Put out that cigarette? People don’t usually like to be criticized, so we have to be careful how we do this.

If you travel around China you will notice a very popular activity everywhere you go--basketball. This much-loved and active sport is enjoyed by many, for fun and exercise. The sport of basketball is a little over a hundred years old. It is played by more than 100 million people in over 200 countries including China ,where basketball has been play in parks, schools, and even in factories. Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was at college, his class was once asked to invent a new game that could be played indoors during the long winters. Dr Naismith created a game to be played on a hard wooden floor, so the safety of the players was important. Knocking into players and falling down would be dangerous. Dr Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them how to play his new game. The
aim of basketball is for players to get a ball into the "basket";a new hanging from a metal hoop. Plays shoot from below the basket and may use the "backboard" for guiding the ball into the basket. Players move towards one end of the court while throwing the ball to each other. It is believed that on December 21st, 1891, the first basketball game in history was played. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an Olympic event. A team from China took part, and although they didn't win they used the experience to help develop the game at home. Since then, the popularity of basketball has risen worldwide, and the number of foreign players in America's NBA (National Basketball Association) has increased. Basketball has also become a more popular sport for people to watch, and many young people dream of becoming famous basketball players.

Many of you know the great soccer player Ronaldinho and basketball player Michael Jordan. Do you know what numbers they wear? Their numbers, like No.10 or No.23,are as famous as them .
In sports, numbers tell the names of the players to scorers or other players, and sometimes also show their positions. Some numbers have more important meanings.
In soccer,a very important number is No.10. The No.10 jersey is traditionally worn by the best player on a team, usually a striker or midfielder. Maradona and Pele are among the first famous players to wear the No.10 jersey.
In basketball ,NBAteams often retire the numbers of their greatest and most talented players . It is an interesting thing that Retiring a number is an honor to the player who wore it . This means no other players on the tearm are able to use that number in the future.
When Michael Jordan retired for the first time , the Chicago Bulls retired his No.23 in 1994. to show respect for the hero, the Miami Heat team also retired No.23 in 2003, never played for that team.

It is believed that the first chopsticks were developed over 5000
years ago in China. In the Spring and Autumn Period copper(铜) and
iron(铁) chopsticks appeared. Then the lacquered(涂漆的) chopsticks
came in the Han Dynasty. Later gold and silver 6 chopsticks followed.
Today we have chopsticks made of different materials. The most expensive are ma de of part of tusks of elephants and the hard green stone.
In ancient times the rich used hard green stone of gold
chopsticks to show their wealth. It was said that silver chopsticks would turn black if they touched poisoned food(although this has beenproved false) ,so in history many kings and emperors used silver chopsticks to see if the food was p
oisonous(有毒的).
In China, chopsticks are traditionally given to a daughter when
she marries to hope that they will have a son very soon, because the word “cho psticks” in Chinese is pronounced like “quick sons” People often believe cho psticks have something to do with good luck. So on New Year’s Eve many families will lay out new chopsticks at
dinner as a way of wishing for luck, and dropping chopsticks is a sign of bad l uck to come.
It’s believed that using chopsticks can increase fingers’dexterity(灵
巧) and improver memory . Many westerners, businessmen, tourists put aside thei r knives and forks, but choose chopsticks in China.

Have you ever thought of such questions as ‘‘Why do I have to study math?” or “I am not interested in history at all．My dream is to be an engineer．Should I give history up?”
Maybe you are right．After you leave school，it'snot necessary for you to understand everything．But please remember that at school，besides getting knowledge，you should pay attention to some other important things．First，try to find what you are most interested in．At school，you study many subjects．Try to find what you like and what you don't like。

This may be helpful to you in the future．
Second，maybe you don't like math and you want to drop it．But the logical thinking ability（逻辑思维能力）from math can help you solve some problems, At school，you should practice your brain by thinking．
Third，you should believe in yourself．Maybe you learn French at school，but you don't need to speak French at all．But learning French can prove（证明）that you have the ability of learning languages。

Suppose you go to Germany one day and find a job there．Then you call tell yourself, “I can do my job well．At school I learned French well．and now I must be able to learn German．”But if you have no confidence，what will happen?
Try to challenge yourself as often as possible。

I think many of us like playing computer games．When we fail in a game，we always want to try it again，why? Because it is hard for ns to get the highest mark．If we want to challenge ourselves，we must face more difficult things and make greater progress．1．At school you should ．
A．stop learning the Subjects you don't like
B．both get knowledge and improve your ability
C．pay more attention to math
D．1earn French instead of English
2．Math can improve one's ．

Everyone likes gifts. Some little kids don’t think they get enough gifts. Some old people think they get too many gifts. Different people like different kinds of gifts. Some presents are never too small. A little child may give his mother a leaf from a tree. It is enough to make her very happy.
Gift giving is different in different countries. In Japan, people sometimes give special gifts. But they are not opened. Later, the same gift may be given away to someone else. Many people have enough things and don’t want too many gifts themselves. In Canada, many people will not give big gifts to someone else. They will pay for a park bench or a tree to help remember a person.
In the USA, some people ask their families and friends to give money to charity rather than buy them gifts. In Sweden, doing something for someone is the best gift. People don’t need to spend too much money. Instead, making a meal is enough.
