Different countries have different customs．When you travel to another countries，please follow their customs，just as the saying goes，“…”
Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip(付小费)．It is usual to tip porters who help carry your bags，taxi drivers and waiters．Waiters expect to get a 15％ tip on the cost of your meal．Taxi drivers expect about the same amount．
In England，make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you．It’s important to respect lines there．It’s a good idea to talk about the weather．It’s a favourite subject of conversation with the British．
In Spain，it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner．People have dinner very late，and restaurants do not generally open until after 9 pm．
In Arab countries，men kiss one another on the cheek(脸颊)．Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks．It is polite for you to do the same．
In Japan，people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time．When a person gives you a card，don’t put it into your pocket right away．The person expects you to read it．
Don’t forget to be careful of your body language to express something In conversation．A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another

Every night the stars seem to move slowly round the sky in a great circle(圆周)．But one star is dif-ferent from others．It looks as if it never moved．To us, it is always in exactly the same place all thetime．It is called the Pole Star(北极星)．It is not a very bright star, but it is very important．Sailors use the Pole Star to find out where they are moving to．
The amazing(令人惊奇的)thing is that the stars are all so far away．If you travelled in the space-ship for a hundred years you would still not reach the nearest star!
A star is really a great ball of burning gas(燃烧的气体)，like the sun．Some stars are much bigger than the sun, But they are all so far away from us that they just look like dots(圆点)of light．
On the clearest night you can count about 2 000 stars．This may seem a lot, but with a telescope you can see many more．The better the telescope, the more stars you can see．Scientists tell us there are millions and millions of stars．No one know exactly how many there are．
