When people from the East meet you, it's common to ask about you age, your salary (薪水), and whether you are married or not. To people from the West, these are not polite questions. They think such kind of questions violates their privacy (侵犯隐私) .
Family is important for everyone. However, kids in the East live with their parents for a long time. They still listen to them after they grow up. In the West, independence (独立) is very important. After growing up, kids have to leave home. They don't have to listen to heir parents and can make their own decision.
In the East and West, people think differently, too. People in the West think about small details. They also think less and act more. However, the people in the East notice relationships between things, and they often keep their opinions quiet.

2 . Someday in the future we may not need to have money in our pockets. Maybe in the future each of us will have only one small credit card (信用卡). It's easy to carry the card. We will use it instead of money to buy all the things.
Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards we now have with money. For example, we lose money sometimes. Maybe we still lose the cards. Maybe someone will take the cards. Someone may even make a card that looks like our cards. Because we can't buy anything without our cards, the credit cards may be as the same important as money.
Is there something easier to use than credit cards? Each of us has a thumbprint (拇指指纹). No two thumbprints are the same. Maybe someday the government will keep people's thumbprints with a number. When you want to buy something, you will put your thumb on a machine or a computer. Each shop or business will possess one. Everyone's thumbprints will be in the computer.

3 . On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War(抗击新型肺炎战),the Ministry of Education issued(教育部公布)a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020.
