My friend’s grandfather came to America from a farm in Thailand. After arriving in New York, he went into a cafeteria (自助餐厅) in Manhattan to get something to eat．He sat down at a table and waited for someone to take his order(点菜). Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked．
“Start out at the end,” she said, “Just go along the line and choose what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”
“I soon learned how everything works in America.” the grandfather told my friend. “Life is like a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want only if you are willing to pay the money.

Before you go to another country, it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs of the country.
When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say “Hello!” or “Nice to meet you!”, and shake hands. Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye. But they shake hands after they haven’t met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.
Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.
