What season is it in October? If you ask people from the UK, they will tell you it's "autumn". 1. Why does this season have two names in English? According to Dictionary. com, both words have been around for a long time, but neither of them was the first to describe this season. During this season, crops（庄稼）would become ripe（成熟）and farmers would have a big harvest（丰收）. 2.
Then, in the 1600s, more people left their farms and moved to cities. With fewer people farming, the word "harvest" became less useful. 3. They knew leaves fell from trees during the season, so people started calling it "the fall of the leaf', or "fall" for short.
4. It gradually replaced（替代）"fall" as the word for this season.
At the same time, British people were making their first trips to North America. They brought both the words "fall" and "autumn" with them. 5.
A. English speakers needed a different name for the season.
B. The season in October is autumn.
C. But at the end of the 1600s, "autumn" from the French word, came to England.
D. So in Old English, this season was simply called "harvest".
E. That's why today's Americans have two names for one season.
F. But if you go to the US, you will find that people use both "autumn" and "fall".
G. Why is it called both“fall”and“autumn”?

Besides chopsticks vs. knives and forks, there are more differences between Chinese and western dinning.
Cooking methods
While westerners boil, fry roast and bake, Chinese use more methods of cooking, like frying, stewing, boiling and steaming. Besides, Chinese cooks cut everything into small pieces, so people don't need knives to cut it but just pick up their food with chopsticks. Westerners cook food in big pieces and serve it with knives and forks for cutting it up.
Ingredients and spices
Chinese dishes use many ingredients seldom seen in western cooking, like animal feet, ears, tongues and so on. Chinese usually use animal or peanut oil to fry food; westerners use more butter and olive oil. Chinese cooks like to add spices when cooking, like ginger, pepper, garlic, etc. Western cooks usually use pepper powder, mustard（芥末）, and tomato ketchup（番茄酱）, etc.
Serving the dishes
On the western table, vegetable soup or salad is usually served as the starter, then the main course includes beef, chicken or fish. After the main course, normally some sweet food is served, which can be ice cream, cakes, fruits, etc.
On the Chinese table, the cold dishes and drinking are first. After that, kinds of meat and vegetable dishes are served, to be followed by soup. Then Chinese usually have rice, noodles or dumplings as main course. At last, Chinese like having fresh fruit such as watermelons and pears after meal. That can make one feel fresh and cool in his mouth and stomach.
Placing the dishes
In western dinner, dishes are served in each person's own plate. So each person uses a big plate. In China, dishes are served at the middle of the table for all to share, and each person uses a small plate in front of him or her to hold the food.

When someone shouts at you or says something that can hurt you, how will you feel and what will you do? Last week, I learned an important life lesson from a taxi driver.
Last Tuesday, I called a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane（车道）when suddenly a black car jumped out. My driver quickly stopped his car and almost hit the other car! The driver of the other car turned his head around and started shouting at us! My driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I mean, in a really friendly way.
So I asked, "Why did you just do that? That driver almost hit your car and sent us to the hospital!" However, he said, "Many people are like garbage trucks（垃圾车）. They run around full of garbage一all kinds of bad feelings. As their garbage adds up, they need a place to dump （倾倒）it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people."
His words touched me a lot. Since then, I have started to see "garbage trucks" everywhere. I see the load（负载）they're carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my taxi driver, I just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
