8 . Men are the cleverest and most dangerous animals on the earth. Rats come second. Men kill many beasts, and they've even killed millions of men since very long ago, but rats kill more men. Rats carry many diseases and these diseases have killed and are still killing thousands and thousands of men today in many countries. Rats are dangerous not only in one way. They not only carry diseases into men's homes, they also eat up men's food. They eat 33 million tons of grain every year. Men starve because rats eat their food. Rats are clever, too. They have good leaders to tell them the food is terrible when men put poison in it. There are a lot of rats in our cities and villages today. We can go to the moon, but we can not kill all these terrible animals. Is this dangerous enemy too clever and grows too fast, or are we not clever enough and not clean enough?

9 . Different countries have different customs(礼仪). We’ better find out their customs so that they will not think us ill-mannered. Here are some examples of the things that a person with good education does or does not do.
If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock on the door first. When the door opens, you should not move before the host says “Come in, please”. After you enter the room, you can’t be seated before the host asks you to. When a cup of tea is put on the table in front of you or sent to your hands, you should say “Thank you” and receive it with your two hands, not one hand, or they will think you are impolite. Before entering a house in Japan, taking off your shoes is good manners. In European countries, even though the shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a visitor never finishes the food on the plate. Instead, He leaves a little to show that he has enough. In England, a visitor always finishes the food or drink to show that he has enjoyed it. This will make the host pleased.
