2 . Important Things to Know When Dining Out
Cultural dining etiquette (礼节) might surprise you with some of its important rules.
The way you handle chopsticks is important to avoid annoying your companions. When you put them down between bites, always put them down together so they are parallel with the edge of the table in front of you.
In India and the Middle East, it’s considered very rude to eat with your left hand. People in France expect you to eat with a utensil in each hand.
Some of these cultural dining etiquette rules may seem random and strange, but they are important in various countries.
A.The more friends you make in your lifetime |
B.The more time you spend in any given country |
C.Mexicans consider it inappropriate to eat with utensils |
D.Don’t get caught making an embarrassing mistake at a restaurant |
E.It’s a good sign for the chef if you make a mess around your plate |
F.Never stick them upright in your food or cross them as you use them |
G.It may seem like a simple request to ask for salt and pepper at a meal |

One Sunday morning, I got a opportunity to help someone. I was walking by a field when I saw an old man pulling out the dry grass. He was clearing his field up grow new plants. I had entered the field and asked him that I could help. He nodded with a smile and with her permission, I started working hard or cleared up a large area finally. Work with him was fun because he shared many interesting stories in me. After the work, he offered me some vegetable, for which I was very thankful. It was a wonderfully way to begin the day.

5 . International Women's Day is March 8. The first celebration was held in 1911, and the event was recognized by the United Nations starting in 1975.
It's a great time to think about the origin of the word "woman". Some people think the word “woman" is a compound(混合)of the words“womb”and“man". Not so. Rather,it's a compound of "wife" and "man", a combination that can be traced back to Old English. You see, when Old English was first being spoken in the 5th century AD, there were two distinct words for men and women: "wer" meant "adult male",and "wif” meant “adult female". There was a third word,“man", which simply meant "person"or "human being”. These words could be combined:“wer" plus“man"(in the form of "waepman")meant "adult male person" and“wif” plus"man”("wilman") meant “adult female person”.
Those middle forms,“wimnan"and "wommon"with the two M's in the middle, remind me of Noah Webster's efforts to simplify English spelling by suggesting changing the spelling "woman” to“wimmen" to have the spelling better match the pronunciation. He put that in his 1806 Compendious Dictionary o f the English Language, but it didn't become popular.
And the Old English word for "adult male" evolved into a simplified form. The compound word "weapman" melted into the simple word we use today: "man".
Maybe the lesson to take from all this is that the role of women in society has always been complex. Whatever the case, the word "woman" today was originally a compound of the Old English words for"woman” and “human being”.

6 . Ways to make a great first impression
You’ve heard it a million times already. But it really does take but a few seconds to make that all-important first impression(印象). Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.
*
Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The hand-shake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left.
*Be on time
When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression.
*Introduce yourself and ask for names
Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their name in a polite way.
*Make good conversation
To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you.
A.Use body language |
B.Have a proper handshake |
C.Repeat the name and use it later in conversation. |
D.It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby |
E.As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early. |
F.You’ll be in serious trouble if you leave them with a bad impression. |
G.However, don’t have your left hand in your pocked because this appears impolite. |

Everyone has a dream. So do me. When I grow up, my dream is to be a scientist. As the matter of fact, being a scientist had been one of my dreams since my childhood because scientists are the most knowledgeable and selfless in my mind. They devote themselves to help work out difficult problem in our life. They work hardly to help people in need, asking nothing in return. Science can promote the development of the world, and I’m sure I will make the world good if I can become a scientist. I know it will be no easy job. Therefore, I believe my dream will be come true.
