Every year, in late March or early April, a boat race takes place o n the Thames River, England. This boat race is an event between the two most famous and also the oldest universities in Britain – the Oxford（牛津大学）and the Cambridge（剑桥大学）.

The idea for the boat race between the universities came from two friends – Charles Merivale, a student at Cambridge, and his friend Charles Wordsworth who was at Oxford. They decided to set up a boat race between the two universities. On March 12, 1829, Cambridge sent a challenge to Oxford first.

When the first boat race took place in a small town by Thames, eight students from each university became th e competitors. Crowds of twenty thousand traveled to watch. It was so exciting. And the Oxford was clear winners. Later on, not only did the students from the two universities take part, but also some social groups attended the event. By 1845, with the small town becoming too crowded, the boat race had moved six miles up to the village – Putney. From 1856 on, the race has been held every year except war years. This boat race is considered to be “the world’s oldest sporting challenge”.

The race is four and a quarter miles in just 20 minutes and the competitors often face difficulties. It usually takes six months for the two teams to prepare for the big days. In the past, the Oxford was mostly the winners. But things have changed from 1993 on. The Cambridge has won more.

In some western counties, many children do chores to get pocket money. They usually start to do this when they are ten years old.

School students have to do homework and study for tests. They don’t have much free time on weekdays. They often do chores on weekends.

Young kids only do easy chores. So they don’t get much money. But that’s enough. Many of them only want to buy

candy. And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor, or feed the pet cat or dog.

When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. So they have to work harder! They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.

Some jobs are good ways for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn how to use a lawn mower(割草机) or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first.

Customs in different countries are different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host (主人), he always puts more food onto my plates. That often discomforts（使不舒服）me greatly. I have to eat the food though I don’t want to, because it is a bad manner in the west to leave one’s food on the plate. I notice that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he very often refuses the offer（提供）of food or drink though he wants to have them. This may be good manners in China, but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or make him accept something. They will ask for it. If not, they will say, “ No, thanks.” If an American dislikes the host’s beer, for example, he may say, “No, thanks. I would like other drinks. Coke-cola if you have it.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United states, you had better remember the famous saying, when in Rome, do as the Romans (罗马人) do.
