Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at school. When I made my first visit to the United States, I was sure I could have a nice and easy holiday without any language problem. But how wrong I was!
At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to tell my friend Danny that I had arrived. An American asked if he could help me. “Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well, that’s nice. Are you getting married?” he asked.
“No,” I replied, “I just want to tell him I have arrived.”
“Oh,” he said, “there is a phone downstairs on the first floor.”
“But we’re on the first floor now,” I said.
“Well, I don’t know what you are talking about. Maybe you aren’t feeling too well after your journey,” he said. “Just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better.” And he went off, leaving me wondering where on earth I was: At home we wash up after a meal to get the cups and plates clean. How can I wash up at an airport?
At last we did meet. Danny explained the misunderstanding: Americans say “to give someone a call”, but we English say “to give somebody a ring”. When we say “to wash your hands”, they say “to wash up”. And Englishmen start numbering from the ground floor so the first floor is the second for Americans.

Many people don't have appetite when they get up in the morning. Why don't they want to eat? It's because they don't wake up early enough, especially (尤其) when they go to bed late the night before. You know, if we go to work without breakfast, maybe we'll feel hungry at about 10:00 a m. Then we can't work carefully. This is not good for our health and work. Then what can we do?
First, we need to go to bed early in the evening and get up early in the morning. Second, we can drink a glass of water after we get up, because the body loses (失去) water during the sleep. Third, we can try to do some exercise, like running or ball games. After the exercise, we will find our breakfast more delicious.【小题1】What does the underlined word "appetite" mean in Chinese?

If you have no special plans for your free time, why not spend your time helping others? Don't listen to people who say that young people today often think only of themselves. It is not true at all. More and more young people in the United States volunteer(志愿,自愿) to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don't do it for money. Here are some of their stories.

I'm going to help the Forest Centre build new hiking paths (徒步小道) in the mountains. It sounds terrible. I'll spend the whole summer living in a tent(帐篷) and breathing the clean mountain air. I'm going to sleep under the stars. It will be nice, and I'll be able to do something good at the same time!
