3 . When you cough or sneeze(打喷嚏), you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”
This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs along to everything and everyone they touch.
If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through.
After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss with my students about the problem. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can help students realize how to be polite and thank others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.
When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.

Beautiful scenes（戏剧）of paradise (乐园), wild animals, silly pictures — you can find them all in one place. Where? On a post card! Have people always sent post cards? No. Before post cards, people liked sealed letters.
The idea for the first decorated (装饰) post card came to John P. Charlton in 1861. He thought a simple card with decorations would be a great way to send a note. Then in the late 1800s, post cards with pictures appeared. By law, people had to write their note on the front ——on the picture! The back was only for the address. Several years later, England allowed a divided-back post card. Then people could write their note on the back left side and put the address on the right. During the early 1900s, the golden age of post cards, picture post cards became a craze of the world. In 1908, Americans alone mailed over 677 million post cards. Today, post cards are the third most popular collection in the world after stamps and coins.

2. Post cards were produced before sealed letters.
3. In 1861, the first decorated post card appeared.
4. Post cards were most popular during the early 1900s.

5 . Summer is almost here and for many it means — summer camp! In Guffey, Colorado USA, there is a very special camp each summer — Nighthawk Ranch.
Nighthawk Ranch is a camp for kids aged 10 to 18 who are recovering (康复) from cancer (癌症). Tom and Dorothy Evans started the camp to provide a good place for those children, helping them build hope and confidence (信心) in their future.
Each session of the camp is organized (被组织) for 7 kids at most, and each session lasts one week. All the sessions at Nighthawk Ranch are free! Many people and organizations give away money to Nighthawk Ranch, so the campers and their families don't need to pay anything.
At the camp, each camper needs to look after a horse for the week, and they will learn to ride the same horse. Also, campers get to experience other activities, like water sports, archery (射箭) and arts.
Most of the campers start the week a little unfriendly to each other, and a little shy around the horses. By the time the last day comes, they are completely different children! It is great to see the changes in them.
Nighthawk Ranch is so much more than a summer camp. It's a truly wonderful experience for children and their families.

7 . Nowadays, millions of Americans buy and decorate (装扮) Christmas trees for the holiday season. They might come from a chain store (连锁店) or a tree lot. People cut these trees from a tree farm or a national forest. A live tree is a key part of the holiday tradition for many families.
Before the 1930s, Christmas trees were from someone’s land or in the wild. Now, most Christmas trees come from tree farms. These farms grow many kinds of trees. Two places grow the most. One is in Oregon. The other one is in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Doug Hundley works for the National Christmas Tree Association (协会). He says that every part of the country had its favorite tree, and today people still prefer those trees. “It gives us more traditional view of Christmas trees and people, and the nation’s relationship with Christmas trees.”
When choosing your own live Christmas tree, many choices are available. In 2018, about twenty—five percent of trees were bought at chain stores. However, an equal percent came from farms where people can cut down their own tree.

With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not eat too much. You don’t want to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. Then the following suggestions may be of some help to you.

Before you leave home for a meal, have a small, low-fat snack (小吃). This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate, because a large plate will encourage you to have more food than enough. Second, you’d better not have high-fat foods. You can have salad instead of them. And you can also have green vegetables，but not high-fat foods. They can keep you from getting fat. If you have a sweet tooth, try fruits, and not cakes or chocolates. Third, don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off calories (卡路里).
