People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn’t lift (举起) your bowl to your mouth when you are having some soup. But it’s different in China. And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making a noise when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. Making a noise is considered as (被认为) bad manners (举止,礼仪) in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp” (打嗝) after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’re having a meal. In Mexico, however, they hope you keep the hands on the table during a meal. But Arabians consider you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabians consider it very bad manners eating with left hands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well, you can ask the local people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them if you are on a visit in another country.

Jess really felt very happy. When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning, he found an invitation(请柬)on his desk. It was from some of his classmates asking him to join their camping trip. This was the first time he was asked to join in an out-of-school activity. Why were they asking him now? Nobody seemed(似乎)to like him. In fact, he had been so lonely (孤独) that he ate a lot to make himself feel less lonely. As a result, he had put on a lot of weight, and this gave the children something more to make fun of him.
Cindy, who was standing near Jess when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the trick had worked. Everyone was happy that Jess thought that was true. But there was no camping trip. The whole thing was made up.

A true friend is always helpful. I didn’t believe it 36 one thing happened to me when I was in Grade 7.
Li Jie was one of my classmates. He and I were also neighbours. He always listened to his mother 37 I didn’t like listening to my mother. I didn’t think it was necessary for 38 to teach me anything. Li Jie knew all about that but he said 39 to me.
One weekend, Li Jie invited me to watch a film. I liked films very much so I went to the 40 with him happily. The film was about the love between a 41 and her son. After watching it, I began to know how great the love of the mother was. I felt 42 that I didn’t listen to my mother before. I decided to think more about my mother than about 43 . After I told that to him, Li Jie smiled and said, “It’s really necessary for you to watch such a film. That was a good choice (选择) for both you and me.”
Suddenly, I knew 44 he invited me to watch the film. Just at that time, I knew a true friend is always 45 .
